The Daughters of Liberty stage a jailbreak in Captain America No. 11

The Future of Law Enforcement?
Having justified taking part in the kind of jailbreak that he stopped many times as an Avenger — including in 2016’s Avengers Standoff — Cap tries to do his usual routine of shifting organically into a leadership role. This time, however, the villains are less likely to play along, until the Wrecker backs up Cap’s orders. Despite getting their powers back, Cap and his squad of rogues are facing an uphill battle against armored Guardsmen with laser rifles. Thankfully, any sewer cover can serve as a de facto shield!

Invisible Woman has been key to the jailbreak, having been the first to breach the Myrmidon. Yet she isn’t just there to help liberate Captain America amid the jailbreak. She and Misty are there to apprehend Von Strucker. After getting his butt kicked by Rogers in a cage match, he immediately gets dropped by the most powerful of the Fantastic Four. Unfortunately, they were unable to stop him from activating the prison’s last security measure — an armada of “Americops” robots.

The original Americop was one of the many creations of writer Mark Gruenwald’s run on Captain America in 1994. He was yet another extremely violent gun-toting vigilante in an area where the Punisher literally had three ongoing titles. He was killed off in the 2007 incarnation of Thunderbolts, but Nick Spencer interpreted him as the inspiration for a squad of private security robots utilized by racists and/or wealthy elites, who typically tend to be overlapping groups, during his run with Sam Wilson as Cap.
