Meanwhile, a new Super-Patriot has teamed up with a man with the power to mimic dead supervillains in a plot to smear Captain America. First they stage a reckless battle between "Cap" and "Porcupine" in a public place and then when the real Captain America attempts to clear himself at a press conference at Avengers Mansion, they have "Mirage" trick Cap into attacking the crowd with illusions so Super-Patriot can step in to save the day. Though the Avengers can figure out what's happening, both of their enemies escape before they can secure any proof.
