Sam Wilson Captain America

Sam Wilson takes on the mantle of Captain America! This 2-Cost, 3-Power card places Captain America's Shield on your side of the board, granting +2 Power to any Captain America card at that location. Sam's Ongoing ability allows you to move the shield each turn. Will this benefit other Captain America cards in the future?

Joaquín Torres (Falcon)

Thaddeus Thunderbolt Ross
