Synopsis for "The Arena"Edit
Captain America tells Diamondback that Dr. Kincaid has given her a clean bill of health, and she admits that she wants to bring Snapdragon to justice. Fury suggests that Snapdragon might be attending the A.I.M. Weapons Expo on Boca Caliente. In Zerotown, Brother Wonderful is frustrated when the mute Dennis doesn't answer his questions, and orders the Night People to attack him. When Dennis fights back, Wonderful is impressed with his strength. Later, Cap, Falcon and Diamondback disguised by Sersi as Crossbones, Jack O' Lantern & Mother Night, arrive at Boca Caliente. Bluffing their way through A.I.M.'s security checks, "Crossbones" runs into Batroc, who reminds him of an old wager that Crossbones could defeat any five men in unarmed combat. Cap accepts the challenge to avoid suspicion and in front of an audience filled with super-villains, first defeats Mad Dog. As Cap battles Ramrod, Diamondback finds Snapdragon with Superia and her Femizons. Cap defeats Ramrod and meets his next opponent, General Wo.
