Captain America Corps #3


 

Writer: Roger Stern
Penciller: Phil Briones 

Synopsis: The Captain America Corps learn how the dystopia came to be. 

Comments: U.S. Agent was buried under rubble by Scourge in Captain America #360 and escaped in Captain America #362. He was largely unseen in Captain America #361, which is probably when he was spirited away by the Contemplator. 







The way the Avengers were manipulated in Americommand's takeover reminds me of Avengers Annual #2 where the Scarlet Centurion similarly manipulated the Avengers in an alternate timeline. 
















U.S. Agent refers to the Contemplator as Mr. Buddha, which is closer to his original name of Mister Budha (sic). 





The phrase Henry Pym is muttering is from Proverbs 6:6.  His first wife, Maria Trovaya Pym, would quote that to him and it inspired him to become Ant Man. 



Pym has been through a lot in his life. According to Avengers #227, written by Roger Stern, Pym had four mental breakdowns by that point. 




The Cosmic Cube is referred to as the Tesseract, which is what it was called in the MCU movies.
