That one time when Captain America battled literal Feminazis...

http://www.dorkly.com/post/84585/cap-moments-2

So, in the early 90s, Cap scribe Mark Gruenwald was faced with an unenviable question: what other sociopolitical group was comparably insidious enough to literally the worst creatures in human history to make reasonable foes for the Sentinel of Liberty?

The answer was, apparently, women... Because if anyone's wielded a dangerous amount of power in America for too long, it's people who weren't even allowed to vote until the 1920s.

The pearl-clutching story about the dangers of unchecked feminism kicked off in Captain America #387, with the appearance of super-villainous Superia. The "misandrist" mastermind roped a veritable army of female super-criminals into her squad: The Femizons.

...

Among Superia's cohorts was Dr. Nightshade -- who (despite once having the absolute worst costume of all-time) is actually a genetic genius. With her help, the Femizons planned to A) kill or enslave all men on Earth, B) sterilize most of the world's population, and C) transform Captain America into a woman.

Not only that....Captain America was out of control with his leg press workout routine. Something needed to be done.
