Summoned back to the US, Invaders, Captain America, Sub-Mariner, and Human Torch arrive in New York to
investigate reports of an enemy saboteur who can fly in a heavy metal
suit. Whizzer of the Liberty Legion finds them and tells them this
story....
The members of the Legion were having
one of their regular meetings, debating whether to inform the
government of their secret identities and let the feds decide whether
to draft them (though Red Raven and Jack Frost have no secret
identities). Patriot would also like someone else to act as leader,
suspecting he was only chosen because he reminds everyone of Captain
America (he's right). They decide to table those two matters while
they honor the FBI's request to investigate the loyalty of various
German-American groups. A disguised Miss America visits a bar
frequented by German Americans and sees elderly Professor Schneider
forced out of the place by two men against his will. In costume she
follows them until they meet up with a baddie called Iron Cross. The
heroine does battle with the surprisingly quick and agile armored
villain and accidentally knocks herself out dodging an attack. The
rest of the Legion arrives—Patriot, Whizzer, Thin Man, Red Raven,
Jack Frost, and Blue Diamond—and demands they surrender and hand
over Professor Schneider and Miss America. Iron Cross takes down each
of the heroes in seconds, leading Whizzer to run off and find the
newly-arrived Invaders to ask for help....
