Synopsis for "Chasing Your Own Tail!"
The Thunderbolts investigate Zemo's castle and find that Cyclone and the Maggia, along with a legion of Protoids (human civilians who have been mutated by Arnim Zola) have beaten them there. While Cyclone escapes in the conflict, Ogre is able to use a device to restore the protoids to a human state. Meanwhile: Moonstone breaks into Reed Richards' lab, best-selling author Andrea Sterman visits the former superhero Windshear to see if he could have had an unwitting hand in a recent murder, and a young Latverian girl who is on her way to fetch a pail of water finds Citizen V washed up on the shore and seemingly drowned. Back at Zemo's castle, Mach-2 informs the rest of the Thunderbolts that he has received an emergency broadcast and Atlas, Wonder Man, and an ionically-supercharged Nefaria are currently in the midst of killing the Avengers.
Trivia
- Although Captain America is shown in uniform twice this issue, his distinctive shield is not.
