“Mind Cage!”

In "Mind Cage!", the Red Skull unveils a shocking truth: Sam Wilson, the Falcon, was once a criminal named "Snap" Wilson, manipulated into a new identity using the Cosmic Cube. With his mind controlled and his loyalty to Captain America now a weapon, the Falcon is drawn into a deadly confrontation at the Red Skull's stronghold—only for Gabe Jones and Peggy Carter to summon SHIELD to turn the tide. Written by Steve Englehart and John Warner, with art by Frank Robbins and inks by Mike Esposito and Frank Giacoia, this pivotal issue features a cover by Gil Kane and John Romita, with inks by Joe Sinnott and John Romita.

The Red Skull reveals that Sam Wilson was, in reality, a criminal named "Snap" Wilson. Wilson crashed on the Island of Exiles attempting to steal a planeload of contraband from his boss. Seeing an opportunity to defeat Captain America using a sleeper agent, the Red Skull used the Cosmic Cube to give Wilson a new personality, a new set of memories and a superhuman link with Redwing. The Red Skull attempt to use the mind-controlled Falcon to kill Captain America but Gabe Jones and Peggy Carter manage to call in SHIELD reinforcements to attack the Red Skull's headquarters.
