“Fighting Chance Part One Super Patriot Games”

In "Fighting Chance Part One: Super Patriot Games," Captain America faces a crisis that threatens both his body and his legacy. With the Super Soldier serum deteriorating and only a year of active duty left, Cap is blindsided when a new Super Patriot—armed with a stolen shield and a dangerous agenda—attacks a political event, leaving bystanders hurt and Cap's reputation in tatters. As he struggles to clear his name, he's ambushed by illusions of the original Master's of Evil, only to be further undermined when the impostor Super Patriot appears, forcing Cap to question who he can trust. Written by Mark Gruenwald and illustrated by Dave Hoover, with inks by Danny Bulanadi and colors by George Roussos, this pivotal issue sees Cap at his most vulnerable—physically, publicly, and morally. The cover, also by Dave Hoover, captures the tension of a hero on the edge.

The new Super Patriot gets a Cap shield from the Tinkerer to complete his costume. Cap is told that the Super Soldier serum is breaking down in his body and he can either quit being a hero or continue his active lifestyle for a year before it kills him. Super Patriot dresses as Captain America and fights the Porcupine at a political function, injuring many bystanders and tarnishing Cap's reputation. Cap holds a press conference to explain that he was not responsible for the Porcupine debacle but is attacked by the original Master's of Evil who just happen to all be dead. When the bad guys turn out to be illusions, Cap looks even worse in front of his not-so-adoring public, especially as Super Patriot shows up to ferret out the "real" bad guy. With his health and his heroic status spiraling out of control, Cap tries to figure out what has gone wrong with his life.
