On a visit to New York, Captain America sees the spacecraft E.V.A.
crash to the ground and an injured Wolverine falls out. The holograph image of
mutant/cyborg Fantomex appears and addresses them but they are attacked by a
band of green-visored killers. Cap and Logan tear into them, discovering that
they are strong, fast—and easily destroyed. Cap unmasks one to find his own
face looking back. The Fantomex recording tells Cap that all the varied super-soldier
projects since he was created are connected and inspired by Cap’s example….
1945: Young Billy Junger dresses as Cap and stands up to
bullies, unsuccessfully, and then the news reports that Captain America and
Bucky are missing and presumed dead….
The Fantomex tape continues relating how he uncovered the big
weapons conspiracy and the notes of a murdered reporter led him to a Cap fan
named Billy Junger and coordinates….
1953: Billy Junger demands to be included in super-soldier trials
and his fanatical determination and threats lead to his being added to the project….
Cap and Logan discover a hidden underground lab with subjects
still in glass tanks. A cyborg bear smashes loose and attacks the two heroes.
The fight is brutal and futile until Cap realizes it is being controlled
remotely and smashes the receiver in its head….
1974: Super-strong Billy Junger, still wanting to serve his
country, is encouraged by a scientist to continue his work, the last great
[sic] hope of Earth….
Cap and Logan trace the bear’s signal to the Swiss Alps,
arriving in E.V.A. to discover everyone at the lab has been killed recently and
info on “Weapon XXX” being purged. The killer is a psychopath called Adam in a
Captain America uniform who is stronger than the two of them and has Wolverine’s
healing factor as well. As they fight, Junger, from a remote location, orders
the lab destroyed. Logan smells the coming explosion and he and Cap barely make
it out, caught by E.V.A. in midair, though Adam dies. The two vow to track down
Weapon XXX for the sake of Billy Junger and others; Junger though vows to
remind Cap of what he once stood for, as something ghastly percolates in the
tank behind him….
