====Super Soldier Serum====
Wilfred Nagel returned from the Blip in 2023, only to find that the CIA had ended his research about the Super Soldier Serum. The Power Broker funded Nagel's continued research into the serum in Madripoor. Meanwhile, the Power Broker took in and employed several people who were upset about the way the Global Repatriation Council treated people who had survived the Snap. Those people stole Nagel's serum and injected it into themselves, becoming the Flag Smashers.
====Chasing Super Soldiers====
Helmut Zemo brought Sam Wilson and Bucky Barnes to Madripoor to look for the source of the recreated Super Soldier Serum. While walking through the streets of Madripoor, Zemo told Barnes to pretend to still be the Winter Soldier and Wilson to pretend to be Conrad Mack. They were driven to Lowtown and entered the Brass Monkey Saloon, where Barnes got into a bar fight. Barnes, Wilson, and Zemo met with Selby, and Zemo offered Barnes in exchange for information about the Super Soldier Serum. Selby told Zemo to look for Wilfred Nagel, but Wilson's sister called, blowing their cover. Selby ordered her men to kill Wilson, Barnes, and Zemo, but was then shot herself.
Wilson, Barnes, and Zemo were accused of killing Zemo and fled while a bounty was put on them. They came across Sharon Carter. Carter took them to her place and helped them track down Nagel.
====Ambush at Buccaneer Bay====
Sam Wilson, Bucky Barnes, Sharon Carter, and Helmut Zemo went to Buccaneer Bay and found Wilfred Nagel's laboratory. Wilson, Barnes, and Zemo interrogated Nagel about the serum while Carter noticed that bounty hunters had come and fought them off. Nagel explained that the Power Broker hired him to work on the serum and that Karli Morgenthau and the Flag Smashers stole it. Nagel revealed that there is no more serum, prompting Zemo to shoot and kill him. A bounty hunter then blew up the lab with a rocket launcher. Barnes, Wilson, and Carter engaged in a shootout with the bounty hunters while Zemo shot a pipe, causing it to explode. Zemo stole a car, allowing Barnes and Wilson to escape to Zemo's private jet. Meanwhile, Carter was driven back to her house.
====Sharon Carter's Manipulations====
Sam Wilson asked Sharon Carter for help keeping an eye on the Latvian GRC Resettlement Camp, and Carter agreed to help. Carter told Wilson that the Power Broker was upset about Wilfred Nagel's death, and Wilson apologized. Carter asked Wilson to find Karli Morgenthau and recover the Super Soldier Serum.
Carter later tracked John Walker down to the resettlement camp and contacted Wilson to tell him about it.
Carter later called Georges Batroc and offered him a job for a high price, promising that he would not regret it. Carter then left Madripoor and went to the United States of America to retrieve her Super Soldier Serum.
