Poor Joe; His wife left him, his mentally challenged son died and he couldn't get any help from the government. So he put on his super villain costume and battled Captain America. Then Cap heads to S.H.I.E.L.D. looking for info on his true origins and all is revealed as he uncovers his old WWII footlocker which also contains his triangular shield. Baron Strucker tricks Nick Fury and escapes imprisonment but when he goes after Cap and is defeated, it is revealed that he is really a sophisticated robot.
