Captain America finding his alternate self

Together with the Avengers, Captain America participated in the Battle of New York, fighting Chitauri who invaded New York City. As the Avengers managed to defeat Loki, Captain America left to coordinate search and rescue, while captured Loki ridiculed him. Later, Captain America encountered his replica who got his hands on the Scepter, and assumed that it was Loki in disguise, unaware that it was actually an alternate version of himself from another timeline.

Captain America fights his alternate self

Captain America reported that he had found Loki, but the other Captain America tried to explain he wasn't Loki. Refusing to believe what he was saying, Captain America then attack him, and the two began to fight, soon losing both of their shields. They then fought hand to hand, which was fairly even, until they both slipped, falling fourteen floors. As they got up, Captain America noticed his compass drop from "Loki," so he asked where he got it, but he attempted to grab the Scepter, so they continued fighting.

Captain America is affected by the Scepter

Due to his focus being on retrieving the Scepter, Captain America was able to overpower him and get him in a headlock. However, the other Captain America told him that Bucky Barnes was alive, causing him to become distracted, and letting go of his grip. The other Captain America then took this chance to grab the Scepter and use it on him, causing him to become unconscious and have his memory of this wiped. He later commented about himself saying "That is America's ass" before walking away with the scepter.[3]
