Review/plot:
An unnamed SHIELD agent again hounds Captain America, but once Cap finds out that this mission involves Sharon Carter, he accepts it. Sharon is held captive by the Trapster, who can't stop raving about how powerful he is.

Sorry, dude, all you have is a glue gun. While Cap is fighting him, he figures out that someone is helping him behind the scenes, diluting the Trapster's glue gun and things like that. It turns out it was Sharon; the Trapster had really captured an LMD (LMDs are waaay too common at this point). The whole point of this charade was to get the Trapster to gloat and reveal that he was working for the Red Skull.

I was happy that Sharon wasn't really being used in a damsel in distress role this issue, but it still didn't make a lot of sense.

Interesting in this one, that without the real Sharon behind the scenes, corrupting Pete's paste, the Trapster probably would have beaten Cap.
