Synopsis
The All-Winners Squad is hurriedly called to meet with the curator of a museum, whose exhibit, "The Ages of Mankind", has been smashed. In addition, a note has been left, signed by the mysterious Isbisa, who has challenged the members to follow up various clues he has left with each part of the exhibit in a winner-take-all battle. To make matters graver, Ibisa has left a spurious clue behind, intimating that Prince Namor is a part of the enemy camp.

Chronologically, the next All-Winners Squad story is in What If? (Marvel, 1977 series) #4, which retroactively establishes that the post-VE Day Captain America and Bucky are actually William Naslund (a.k.a. The Spirit of '76) and Fred Davis. It is possible that this retroactive continuity actually applies since issue #16.
