History:
(Marvel: The Lost Generation#1) - In 1955, Doctor Mooney was one of the scientists for Deep Freeze, the U.S. government project that was keeping Captain America (William Burnside) and Bucky (Jack Monroe) in suspended animation after they went insane thanks to complications from the super soldier serum they had taken. He joined Doctor St.Clair in showing new engineer Patrick Carney around the facility after his security clearance came through. Showing Carney their charges, Mooney explained that these were not the original Cap and Bucky, who had gone missing towards the end of World War II, but the most recent in a string of replacements who had held the roles, now kept alive but inert in the hopes that one day a cure for their madness would be found. Examining Captain America's shield (which was presumably lying nearby for no discernible reason), Carney asked Mooney if there were plans for further Cap replacements, but Mooney dismissed the idea, asking who would want the role after what had happened to this iteration.

  After Carney left for the night, Mooney met with FBI Agent Jacob Scott (secretly the Skrull Velmax), and while handling the shield himself, Mooney mentioned to him what Carney had said. Scott took the shield from Mooney and told him it wasn't up to him, but he would pass it on, after which Mooney left the room.

Comments: Created by John Byrne, Roger Stern and Al Milgrom.

   To be accurate, we don't actually know which scientist is Mooney and which is St.Clair; I'm going on their relative positions in the artwork matching the order their names are mentioned, but it could just as easily be the other way around, with Mooney being the woman and St.Clair the man.

   Why was Captain America's shield (Burnside's version, not the original) just lying around for Patrick Carney to pick up? Given that Mooney later seemed to be handing it over to Jacob Scott, had it been taken out of storage because it was being sent to another government facility?
