Cover by Gil Kane and Klaus Janson. While the shield-slinger is his prisoner, Lyle Dekker fills in the missing pieces of Captain America's origin. Dekker reveals that his henchmen found the Living Legend floating in the English Channel (after the drone plane exploded) and brought him across the ocean to Newfoundland. Thus with the truth revealed, Dekker begins the dastardly process of transferring his mind -- and Cap's life force -- into his 12-foot tall creation: the Ameridroid!
