History

Leader of the Avengers. Captain America was recruited as part of a team to hunt, and restrain or kill mutants.[1]

During a mission to the mutant stronghold Fortress X, succumbing to a primal blood-lust, he killed Mystique, believing her to be a danger, only to find out that she was protecting a group of mutant children (and one human child). With her dying breath, Mystique forced Captain America to question what he had been doing.[2]

Realizing his mistake, he called off the mission, killed Steel Corpse on his own orders (as he was being compelled by his murderous armor to kill the mutant children), and led the Avengers in defense of Fortress X. He was killed battling the Hulk, but his words and actions inspired the mutant forces to organize and band together. Legacy absorbed his memories to honor his sacrifice.[2]
