The 1940s Captain America

Part 2: Post-War

Society has often wrestled with the problem of what to do with men who have been trained to fight and kill for their country after the war is over.  Naturally, it's a bigger problem when you're dealing with a super-soldier, especially when your company has a lot invested in the concept.  Thus Timely Comics had to figure out what to do with Captain America without war hysteria and PXs to fuel sales.

"Tiger Sweet" is the odd name of the perfume, so I've given it to the otherwise unnamed gang leader.

Tales of Suspense #82 (October 1966): "The Maddening Mystery of the Inconceivable Adaptoid!" [actually, Boy Commandos #1 (Winter 1942-43): "Satan Wears a Swastika"]	Agent Axis	The Adaptoid, a shape-changing android, imitates a number of Cap's old foes, including "Agent Axis!  The scourge of World War Two!" Unfortunately, the story's artist, Jack Kirby, forgot (I assume) that it was his Boy Commandos, for rival DC, who had actually fought Agent Axis in the '40s.  It's definitely supposed to be the same Agent Axis, as a clubfoot, which plays a prominent role in the original story, is clearly shown. It took Roy Thomas, in the Invaders comics of the 1970s, to come up with the story of the Marvel version of Agent Axis, a bizarre three-bodies-in-one fusion of Axis spies.
