Whilst being interrogated, Helmut Zemo told him about his plans to sterilise the Earth population using a newly activated Inhuman's blood with only those treated with the cure immune to its effects. The captive Ian then had his neck slit by Zemo who had decided to reveal his plans to the hero just before he seemingly killed him. (All-New Captain America v1 #2) He was left there for four hours where his body tapped into the bio-gel hidden in his suit that repaired his injuries and led to him recovering from his wounds. Ian then freed himself and ambushed Baron Zemo when the villain was attempting to kill Sam Wilson. Together, the two heroes defeated Zemo where they stopped Lucas from his plan to sterilise mankind. However, Nomad revealed that the danger was not over yet as Zemo's failsafe had activated which was the vampire Baron Blood who had a stash of the sterilisation plague and intended to detonate it at a site. Thus, Ian and Sam rushed to stop the undead villain before he could accomplish his plan. (All-New Captain America v1 #5)
