Captain America is about to put the Marvel Universe under siege from within!

Secretly a true believer in the cause of Hydra, Captain America has turned his back on the superhero community. He has ascended to a position where he can enact Hydra's ideals using the trust and respect he has gained over the years. The death of Jack Flag, the trial of Maria Hill, the second Civil War, the alien Chitauri Queen...it will take only the slightest push to set the dominos of Captain America's plan into action!
