Cap succeeded in the mission to rescue the girl only to have her betray him, offering his head to her new employer.

However, when they attempted to stop the Skull, the struggle inadvertently transported them all to the Dark Dimension. When the team caught up to the Skull, they found he had been negotiating a deal to for the power to destroy the allies in exchange for the Eye, now in Cap's possession.

The last anyone ever head of those aboard was the ship exploding over the English Channel. Thus, the world fondly remembers Captain America, Earth's Mightiest Hero.
