Synopsis

A clone of Luther Manning comes back in time from 1991 (this changes to 1993 in issue #288) to find the Deathlok cyborg. Steve is supposed to be spending the weekend at Bernie's house when they almost run down Manning. Cap follows him into an abandoned Brand Corp. building where they come up against Brand soldiers and Deathlok himself.
