The Daughters of Liberty stage a jailbreak in Captain America No. 11
By Alex Widen
Will the Foreigner Be as Cold as Ice When This Is All Over?
Steve gets in some determined and heroic narration about how the Americops are machines, and they’re no match for the human spirit. However, he does utterly nothing to stop them. Misty Knight uses a gadget in her bionic arm to shut them down about two minutes after Strucker unleashed them. He manages to lead his squad of villains to some submarines before the fact that they’re villains catches up with him. Jack O’Lantern blasts him in the back, and they leave him for dead. Only one crook — presumably the Wrecker — offers a lingering look before fleeing.

Sharon Carter’s strategy is three-fold. Her plan wasn’t just to use a jailbreak to save Steve before he was murdered — either literally or in the media. Nor is it also to capture Von Strucker, who presumably is a witness to the Power Elite’s plot. She has sent the mysterious Dryad against their other “asset” — the international assassin known as the Foreigner. She’s waged a war of attrition against his safe houses, and finally encounters the deadly European hit man himself.

Yet while Dryad may have mocked in him in previous issues, the Foreigner’s no slouch. Any man who can fight toe-to-toe against Spider-Man armed nothing beyond sporadic hypnotism is a difficult opponent to overwhelm. The Dryad finds herself on the ropes from the assassin’s martial arts prowess. Even worse, Lukin can sent his usual minions — Crossbones and Sin — to eliminate a loose end. The Dryad survives their attack, but it looks like the Foreigner did not. Is it finally the end for this D-list Spider-Man foe? Will Silver Sable be a widow?
