The Falcon has apparently sacrificed his life to ensure that
Arnim Zola’s Omega Bomb detonates in the stratosphere. As he plummets to Earth,
Iron Man catches him and lowers him softly to the ground. All of his friends
and comrades mourn….
Zola tells his daughter Jet Black that he has always loved
her and asks her to return with him to Dimension Z, telling her that these
people are not her allies. As Steve Rogers and Sharon Carter are reunited, the
Avengers discover that Sam is alive after all, the brunt of the blast being
absorbed by his new Vibranium wings. Jet rushes into his arms but Sharon accuses her of
plotting with her father against them. Enraged, Jet rushes off to Zola’s tower,
Ian Rogers following her and begging her to come back. Too late, she rejoins her
father on the return to Dimension Z, the heroes surprised at the turn of
events, Sam most of all….
One week later all living Avengers past and present
congregate at Avengers
Mansion for a special
event. Hawkeye jokes around and trades barbs with various comrades. The aged
Steve Rogers announces that he can no longer be Captain America, so he will be taking the
position of mission coordinator. He then introduces Sam Wilson as the new
Captain America.
There’s only one thing left: Steve presents Sam with the shield and Sam hoists
it high and shouts “Avengers Assemble!”
Epilogue: A mysterious cloaked figure arrives at Castle
Hydra for a high-level meeting. The newcomer is an Avenger turned traitor; he
reveals the weaknesses of the new Captain America to Chancellor Cassandra and
her sinister agent The Drain as they plot to subvert the new Cap….
