The Sisters of Sin are the leaders of a quasi-religious
cult that promotes hatred and violence. Led by the enigmatic
Mother Night, the Sisters prey on unsuspecting teenagers,
inoculating them with their venomous dogma through a variety
of brutal mind-control techniques. While the origins of
Mother Night herself remain unknown, her lieutenant Sisters
are known to have previously been disciples of the Red
Skull, who guided the creation of the original Sisters
of Sin. In fact, the sister known as Sin is in actuality
the Red Skull's
daughter. After having spent years indoctrinating his
daughter into his own twisted philosophies, the Skull
then accelerated her aging process artificially, hurling
her headlong into adulthood. He then bestowed upon her
the name of Mother Superior, and gave her charge of four
young orphan girls who were in turn indoctrinated by Mother
Superior. Once this was done, the Skull brought each of
the girls to premature adulthood as well, experimenting
on each in the process to give each one a particular talent.
Thus were formed Mother Superior and her Sisters of Sin.
However, after the Skull's death resulted from a clash
with Captain America, Mother Superior and the Sisters
were restored to their rightful ages. Apparently, this
process allowed them to retain at least part of their
artificially enhanced abilities. Through an as yet unknown
series of circumstances, they were discovered by the mysterious
Mother Night, who was formerly known as Suprema, and who
organized them into the second Sisters of Sin. The full
story of how this transpired has yet to be told.
Bernadette Rosenthal, an old girlfriend of Steve
Rogers, called him to say that she was worried about
her youngest sister Nancy who had run away from home.
Rogers checked around and found that an unusually large
number of child disappearances had been going on lately
and decided to investigate the matter personally. He would
need a disguise though and enlisted the aid of his teammate
Sersi in transforming him into a 15-year old version of
himself. Then, pretending to be a teen runaway, he was
picked up by two of the Sisters of Sin and was knocked
out by Sister Raunch who used her mental powers. When
he regained consciousness, he found himself going to Mother
Night's youth training camp where, aided by the Sisters
of Sin, she was training young runaways to hate and kill.
Rogers and the other "recruits" were off-loaded
from the bus and put in holding cells about the size of
closets. One of the other kids, a girl named Jennifer,
had claustrophobia and when she put up a fuss, Sister
Sin proceeded to beat her. Rogers tried to intervene but
found his teen body incapable of handling the combat moves
of his adult self. Later that night, Rogers managed to
escape and he broke Jennifer out as well. They made their
way to the main house looking for a phone, but were captured
by Sister Sin instead. Sister Sin beat Rogers senseless
and discovered that he was wearing a Captain America suit
under his clothes. When he awoke, Rogers found his street
clothes had been removed leaving him in his Captain America
costume. He pretended to be a member of his own computer
network (Stars and Stripes), but Mother Night nonetheless
decided to have the Sisters of Sin beat him to death.
Luckily for Captain America, Sersi had conditioned the
transformation so that it would automatically reverse
itself if he took more than 40 punches. Just as the Sisters
of Sin closed in on him, he suddenly reverted to his adult
self and was able to take care of the Sisters of Sin with
no difficulty. Ultimately, the Sisters of Sin escaped,
although Mother Night was captured.
