As the Secret Empire makes its move to take over the entire United States, Captain America, Falcon, and the X-Men take the group down with the help of Gabe Jones and Peggy Carter. Cap chases #1 (the head of the Empire) into the White House, pulls off his mask, and recognizes him as a higher-up politician. Rather than being arrested, #1 takes his own life.
