Captain Carter #4 starts off with wild action and then goes into the mysteries! The issue’s cover by Jamie McKelvie has the wanted poster of Captain Carter with the £100,000 reward and just her age for some reason (she should get payback for that alone!), with a background photos of her friend, Harley. The creative duo of Jamie McKelvie, writer, and Marika Cresta, artist, continues Peggy Carter’s story. We last left Captain Carter and Tony Stark surrounded by HYDRA agents! This continues with Tony using repulsor rays from his wrist blaster. Peggy wonders about the mysterious woman who watches the battle. She asks Tony to find the woman while she holds off the agents. He flies with jet shoes and can’t find the woman. He notices that Captain Carter is being attacked from behind, his warning comes too late, and she is slammed into a wall!
Peggy is picking herself up while asking if the agent was a super soldier. Tony’s vision enhancements was turned to infrared and found that the man has no body heat, a synthetic, like Vision? She leaps forward ready to go all out on the robots. Captain Carter leaps over the burly agent pulling off his head to look at him. This causes him to ignite into a fireball! More HYDRA agents spill out of trucks and Peggy asks Tony to fly them out. He mentions that he has equipment at his lab and heads there. Lizzie Braddock tries to call up Peggy Carter. Harley is busy checking on the record of Harry Williams. Lizzie asks about her computer skills which Harley admits that her family couldn’t afford a computer. Lizzie explains that her father was the director general of the British division of S.H.I.E.L.D. Then, there is a knock at the door.
It is an unknown man and Harley is suspicious. Next to him comes Peggy’s voice. She reveals that she was invisible due to Stark’s “hologram projection nanodrone clouds”, there was an image inducer used by the X-Men. Tony recognizes some names from a list made of Williams’ fellow students. Peggy thinks about the drone change to make Stark’s assistant, Lizzie, for his meeting at the Illuminati Club in the Soho district, London. Peggy notes the neighborhood changes and Harley notes that it has become gentrified. The meeting with Dominic Lewis, Tony asks about business contacts, and then gets to a visit with Harry Williams. Lewis says he can arrange a tennis match with Williams for a donation. Then, he excuses himself.
Harley gets the notification that the House of Lords passed the HYDRA bill. This authorizes government action against HYDRA which Peggy realizes that their attacks was to push for the bill! I like that there is a reason behind the attacks not just to defeat the heroes. Prime Minister Williams has a press conference saying that Peggy Carter’s time in suspended animation has altered her mind. This caused her to kill fifteen S.T.R.I.K.E. agents! He says that Peggy Carter is with Hydra! We get a panel of Peggy’s shocked face. He has turned the public against Captain Carter! Tony works from his memory the image of the woman and sends it to Liz. She realizes it’s Lady Jacqueline Falsworth in the House of Lords. In the regular comics, she is the hero Spitfire, part of the WWII group, in her first appearance Invaders #7 (1976). Tony goes to check on Lewis.
On the edge of the roof, Lewis tearfully stands and tells Tony, “he’s making me” before jumping. Tony tries to jet forward, but he is not in time. At Harley’s apartment, Peggy doesn’t want Tony and Harley involved, but they are both in. Tony has tracked the call from Lewis’ phone and says it goes to Downing Street! Harley looks up Williams’ mother and they find that she looks exactly like Lady Falsworth! Lizzie wonders if HYDRA has super-soldiers. Harley pulls up the Falsworth father and it is Lord John Falsworth who looks exactly like Prime Minister Harry Williams. The father in the comics was James Montgomery Falsworth who was the hero, Union Jack, also debuting in Invaders #7. They put together clues, not only can the Falsworths live to a long age, they can compel people to act against themselves, and have strong men who explode in sunlight. Captain Carter #4 has some answers, a formindable team, but it leads to some deadly enemies!
Four Shields out of Five!
