Captain America
Synopsis:
“J’Accuse!”
Captain America is put behind bars after being framed for the murder of the Tumbler and being defeated by the new ”hero” Moonstone. After Moonstone subdues Captain America he tells the reporters a fake story about how he was a simple janitor at a university who interacted with a moonstone that granted him powers while cleaning it. In reality he was a criminal who came to the university to steal the moonstone but was caught in the act by university security. While holding the moonstone and throwing his tools he instantly killed one of the guards and while the other one shot at him in retaliation he hit the moonstone causing it’s fragmented particles to be absorbed into the criminal. Soon after he used a focused blast on the remaining guard killing him and turning him into ash. After that incident he met with Quentin Harderman and his Committee to Regain America’s Principles in an attempt to find work. There along with Viper he was accepted into the fold but given his current criminal status was told to keep a low profile until needed. Some time later after Viper’s arrest their plan to frame Captain America was enacted.
