Big news today, Captain America is dead. Gunned down on the steps court. He was arriving there as a fugitive, a resistance leader to a federal Superhero Registration Act.

Captain America had strongly opposed the mandatory federal registration of all super-powered beings and had lead the Anti-Registration faction and resistance movement for some time.

It is currently thought that Crossbones was the sniper and that the super evil Dr. Faustus had hypnotized Sharon Carter into shooting Captain America in the stomach.

What a nasty way for a super hero to go!
