In a wartime tale from *Captain America Comics* #50, Jo’s dying brother entrusts her with a terrible secret: a bioweapon that triggers a deadly rain, hidden in a locket meant to be buried with him. When Japanese agents, disguised as zombies, raid the cemetery to steal the formula, Captain America and Bucky intervene—only for the locket to be destroyed in a furnace.
