“The Mystery of Mr. X”

In "The Mystery of Mr. X," Captain America takes a surprising detour into the world of professional wrestling when he and Bernie witness a masked assailant, Mr. X, kill a wrestler mid-match. Drawn into the spectacle, Cap agrees to face the enigmatic killer in the ring, turning the arena into a battleground of fists and secrets. With art by Alan Kupperberg and inks by John Beatty, this 1982 issue blends action and suspense in a story that’s as much about identity as it is about combat.
