Synopsis
Captain Britain and Saturnyne battle the Status Crew, England's chief security force. They scan Cap and learn that his power comes from his intense concentration and his greatest weakness is distraction. They blast him with a sonic beam to deprive him of his power. They then try to blast him with a bazooka but Jackdaw sacrifices himself to save Cap.
