When Captain America joins Team America for a charity motorcycle ride, the event takes a bizarre turn when a giant monster snatches a Nobel laureate from the crowd. Pulled through a mysterious transporter tube, Cap and his allies find themselves in a quiet town where history’s greatest minds—Einstein, Shakespeare, Lincoln, and others—live as androids under the Mad Thinker’s control. With the fate of these intellectual icons hanging in the balance, Cap must rally Team America to disrupt the Mad Thinker’s twisted experiment before it’s too late.
