The whole world has gone mad and the British government thinks Captain Britain and Saturnyne are responsible so they activate the Fury, a hero killing cybiote. When the Fury proves too much, even for Cap, Luna and her crew teleport out. The Fury kills Jackdaw but even Cap's intense rage at seeing his friend cut down is not enough to help him defeat the creature. Cap's arm is broken in the battle and he is rescued by an unlikely ally, Mad Jim Jaspers.
