On Eaglestar’s floating paradise,
Skydream, Captain America (Sam Wilson) has been wrongly identified as an LMD
impostor and now Red Hulk, actually Security Chief Robert Maverick, is about to
smash him to bits. Sam’s niece Billie spots that Eaglestar’s CEO, Dennis
Harmon, is controlling Red Hulk. Sam tries removing the implant from Rulk’s arm
but Harmon gasses him before he can succeed….
Sam Cap wakes up in a cell and
sees Joaquin Torres, the Falcon, in a neighboring cell. Harom makes a speech
about how his sky farms will be to the benefit of minorities. Joaquin reveals
that they have been experimenting on him, trying to reproduce the ability to
fly. Harmon shocks they again and departs. Joaquin also points out that they
are creating more mind control devices like the one on Red Hulk. Then suddenly,
a new hero fights his way into th building, calling himself Shadow Soldier,
whom Sam recognizes as Josiah X, son of Isaiah Bradley. SS frees Sam and
Joaquin, while mocking Sam for not seeing Harmon’s program as a scam from the
first. They setout to rescue Billie and the farmers. As a distraction, SS
releases the caged griffins to attack the guards while they hitch a ride on a
transport attached to a flying whale. Josiah explains that while he was once
part of The Crew, he grew tired of compromises and became a hero to help his
people who were hiding in the shadows. They arrive at the farm where Billie is working
and try to get her to come along but she refuses. She and the others have been
mind-controlled into wanting to stay there. Then the three heroes are gassed
and the last we see of them is that they are happily working the land beside
the farmers….
