"Mind Cage!" Part 3 of 3. Plot by Steve Englehart. Script by Steve Englehart (pp 3-11) and John Warner (pp 1-2 and 12-18). Pencils by Frank Robbins. Inks by Mike Esposito. Cover by Gil Kane, Frank Giacoia, and John Romita Sr. (alterations). Just when the Red Skull appears on the verge of defeat, he activates his sleeper agent: the Falcon! What? Apparently, years ago on the Island of the Exiles, the skull used the cosmic cube to transform the criminal known as Snap Wilson into Sam Wilson -- the social worker and future flying Falcon! So now the Third Reich's master of terror pits the Falcon vs. Captain America! It's a fight Cap doesn't want to fight, but one he has to win -- to stop the Red Skull. Cameo appearances by Sharon Carter and Dave Cox. Flashback cameo by the Red Skull to recap the events of Captain America 117 & 118 and to amend the Falcon's origin. (Notes: The Red Skull appears next in Super-Villain Team-Up #10. This issue completes Steve Englehart's outstanding 3-year run as the writer of the Captain America 1st series -- highlighted by the Secret Empire storyline; the co-creations of Nomad and Nightshade; and the returns of the 1950s Captain America and Madame Hydra (as the new Viper). 36 pages.
