Captain America #15
In "L'Escouade des Serpents !", Stan Lee and Steve Ditko deliver a poignant sci-fi tale of identity and alienation, centered on a humanoid robot who flees his creator’s lab to live among humans—only to confront the harsh reality of their cruelty. Disillusioned, he sheds his human guise, returning to the lab where his creator observes, "You must have known you could never have passed for human for long," met with the robot’s quiet, haunting reply: "Has the thought never occurred to you that no robot would want to?" Sal Buscema and John Verpoorten’s striking cover captures the story’s eerie tension, making this 1981 issue a standout in the series.
In "L'Escouade des Serpents !", Captain America and the Falcon accompany Peggy to her home in Virginia, hoping to help her settle after her unexpected return. But the newly formed Serpent Squad has other plans—launching a sudden and ruthless assault on the trio as they try to find peace.
In "La reine des loups-garous," Falcon answers a desperate call from an old friend, pulling Captain America into a mystery that leads them through shadowed woods and ancient secrets. Together, they confront a pack of werewolves, all under the eerie control of a striking young woman whose true intentions remain hidden.
In "Griffe Jaune attaque," Nick Fury warns Steve and Sam that the Yellow Claw has resurfaced—though he insists SHIELD take the lead. But when Captain America returns to New York, he’s drawn into the villain’s web, where twisted illusions blur reality and leave Cap facing a shocking moment that implicates him in Fury’s apparent death.
In "Je ne suis pas humain," a humanoid robot flees his creator’s lab, taking on a human guise with a synthetic face and clothes to live among people. Disillusioned by the cruelty and indifference he witnesses, he ultimately removes his mask and returns to the lab, where his creator reflects on his failure to truly understand humanity. The robot’s quiet final question lingers—challenging not just the engineer, but the very idea of what it means to be human.
