Captain America #7

At the Raft, the maximum security prison for supercriminals, Piledriver gives Codename: Bravo an update on what has happened to Captain America: as we saw last issue, Cap suddenly lost his powers and was seriously beaten by the Serpent Squad.

As the airborne heroes tries to minimize damage and protect the police, Cap and Sharon head to the scene. Cap deduces that the riot is a decoy for a bigger crime, and sure enough, the Serpent Squad is robbing a bank, using a smaller Madbomb to force the manager to open the vault. Suddenly Cap and Sharon arrive on the scene and the battle is on….
