* ShaggyDogStory: ''The Lonesome Death of Jack Monroe''. It starts depressing enough, as Jack Monroe is known to be dead in a previous issue. This issue however, drives the knife even further by revealing Jack was already doomed to die thanks to the deteriorating superserum in his body. He chooses to use his last year alive to apprehend a drug dealer named Gunnar believed to be poisoning his adopted daughter (now in the custody of another family). [[spoiler:As the serum drives him insane he ends up killing dozens of civilians over the following months, believing them to be gang members]]. Then he's killed by Winter Soldier.
** ShootTheShaggyDog: What really twists the knife? Not only does he [[spoiler:never reach Gunnar in time to kill him]], but the following page reveals [[spoiler:Gunnar is just an ice cream salesman, who Monroe misheard bragging about his business.]]

* AuthorFilibuster / CharacterFilibuster: While taking a stroll with Sharon through Paris, Steve talks at length about his time fighting with [[LaResistance the French Resistance]], and how he resents Americans [[CheeseEatingSurrenderMonkeys calling the French cowards]] when Steve saw men, women, and children fighting with whatever scraps they could to get the Nazis off their land. It's actually not a bad speech, as Brubaker [[ShownTheirWork shows his work]] about the Western Front, and wrote it in response to [[ComicBook/UltimateMarvel Ultimate Captain America]]'s infamous "You think this A on my head stands for France?" taunt.

* ComicBookTime:
** Averted in the World War II flashbacks, where Bucky does grow up. When he first meets Steve Rogers he's 16. By the time of his death from Zemo's plane he's nearly 21.
** [[spoiler:By the time he meets Steve as Winter Soldier, Bucky has reached 30 years of age. He's only gotten about eleven years older in 60 years time, but it's justified by his handlers' use of cryogenic stasis.]]
** While visiting Arlington National Cemetery, Steve laments that he couldn't be around to see the Civil Rights movement or the Moon Landing during the 60s. In the real world, Cap's return to comics came in 1964, but the comics' timeline keeps moving back the date of when he returned.

** The Red Skull is dead from issue one, and the first half of the story regards Steve and S.H.I.E.L.D. investigating and stopping his plot set pre-assassination to blow up major world capitals in order to power the Cosmic Cube.

--->'''Steve Rogers''': Did you just say the Kronas Corporation? Kronas was a small village in Russia, not too far from Stalingrad.

--->'''Karpov''': What's your name, boy?\\

--->'''Sharon Carter''': The guy we've been hunting--the man who killed the Red Skull--I've seen him! [[spoiler:I think- I think it's Bucky!]]

'''Winter Soldier''': [[spoiler:Who the hell is Bucky]]?

** Supervillainess Mother Night is KilledOffscreen and found by Union Jack and co.

** Part of what unnerves Steve about Lukin's plot is that the man keeps making his schemes personal to Cap, including ordering the murder of his former partner Jack Monroe, kidnapping Sharon Carter, defacing the graves of former [[LegacyCharacter Captain Americas]] William Naslund and Jeffrey Mace, sending him false memories through the Cosmic Cube of Bucky's death, and even [[spoiler:using his former friend Bucky Barnes against him]]. He even goes so far as to ''give'' Steve the file on [[spoiler:Bucky's brainwashing and missions as the Winter Soldier]]. Steve doesn't understand why Lukin is trying so hard to screw with him, when until the last few days he'd never even heard of Lukin. [[spoiler:It turns out to not be Lukin, but the Red Skull in Lukin's mind who has the real vendetta.]]

** Winter Soldier's handlers know something is seriously wrong when the assassin starts questioning their orders, and even [[spoiler:flat-out doesn't show up at the extraction point after a mission on US soil, decamping to NYC instead. After that they keep him in stasis longer, and try to avoid deploying him again in the US when possible.]]

* RenegadeSplinterFaction: The Red Skull's AID {{mooks}} setting his bombs turn out to be split-offs of AIM, another Marvel terrorist group. Several times Cap runs into AIM troopers trying to recover their own stolen bombs, though also for nefarious purposes.

--->'''Steve''': [[spoiler:Bucky]]?\\
