Synopsis for "Saturday Night Furor"
Two joggers find Captain America floating unconscious in the water. He awakes in their home and discovers that his face is not his own and that he has no memory of recent events. He returns to Avengers Mansion where Iron Man points out that his false face is a synthetic skin disguise. The Wasp tells Cap that he met Al Avision last night, but Cap knows no one by that name. Following every lead possible, Cap eventually discovers that he has been poisoned. Trying a different tactic, Cap goes through the Avengers phone records and finds his answer. Cap contacts General Fist to tell him that he and Ken were discovered in their mission to stop the Madbomb component smuggling operation, and that Ken must have been tortured and killed. Cap races toward the scheduled Madbomb convoy in time to engage the Tarantula and Señor Muerte. Cap quickly defeats the villains and Fist arrives to secure the Madbomb components.
