Synopsis for "Lookin’ for Uncle Sam"
Steve Rogers and Sam Wilson are on the hunt for two imposter Captains America: a super-speedster man and a gun-wielding woman. The quick Cap outruns the heroes in rural New Mexico and Steve Rogers suggests meeting up with Captain America of the Kickapoo Tribe (Joe Gomez), a member of the Captains Network. The three Captains America share intel and realize that Speed Demon is the quick villain who has been terrorizing a variety of beloved American symbols and is planning an attack at the site of school integration at the heart of Brown v. Board of Education. The heroes are ambushed by the gun-toting villain and Rogers realizes that it's Sin. She escapes capture and the Caps head into town to get medical treatment for Gomez and protect a political candidate. Winter Soldier intervenes to save the politician’s life and agrees to join the hunt for the villains.
