Synopsis for "When Women Wage War!"

Cap and Paladin face off against the super powered women army while Black Mamba and Asp visit Diamondback in the infirmary. Cap and Paladin are soon defeated by sheer numbers and Diamondback, Black Mamba, and Asp witness their capture before Diamondback sees Snapdragon and ducks away. Dansen Macabre binds Cap and Paladin to her will and Dr. Nightshade interrogates them, but Cap manages to reveal nothing. Paladin reveals they're looking for Diamondback and the Avengers may be on their way. Cap and Paladin are taken to Superia, who plans to transform Cap and Paladin into women.
