Steve Rogers is caught between Harlem mobsters and a gang of white supremacists wielding high-tech weaponry. To make matters worse, a mind-controlled Sharon Carter is leading the charge for the National Force.
The story quickly moves away from its political implications as the mind control aspect takes center stage and a villain gets a big reveal, followed by an extra bit of a twist to end things.
Steve shows some good emotion as he grapples with the possible fate of Sharon, but the use of generic villain tropes (and traps!) detracts a bit in terms of keeping my interest.
Rating: 5.5/10
