In "A Mind Is a Terrible Thing to Waste!", Captain America joins Team America at a charity motorcycle event when a sudden attack by a giant monster snatches a Nobel laureate from the crowd. Pursuing the creature through a mysterious transporter tube, Cap and the team find themselves in a quiet town where history’s greatest minds—some long gone—live in unexpected harmony. As the group uncovers the Mad Thinker’s elaborate scheme to harvest genius for his own twisted purposes, they must outthink a villain who values intellect above all else—before the thinkers themselves are lost to his machine.
