Steve Rogers begins to learn of Isaiah Bradley; Bradley escaped from Hitler
In the present-day timeline, Captain America (Steve Rogers) is interviewing a federal prisoner, Merritt, who had been involved in the Super Soldier Project in the 40s. In the process, he learns that Isaiah Bradley wore the costume first - a Black Captain America! In the 1940s time, Bradley was captured by Nazis and interviewed by Hitler himself, who tries to turn him to the Nazi cause (Bradley has more reason to hate his white American oppressors than foreigners like Nazis, surely?), and since Bradley won't betray America, plans to kill him . . . But Bradley escapes with the help of the Resistance . . .
As present day Steve Rogers seeks to unveil the truth about Black Captain America, we flashback to Isaiah squaring off against Hitler. This chapter really delves into the history of Isaiah, and leaves us with quite a cliffhanger.

I don't know how I'm supposed to take this John-K.-extra looking goober seriously as a villain. But that's what the book wants me to do. I've really struggled with this art style.
