Oh, you know I love Vengeance! And random-ass issues of serial anthologies. From 1994, Marvel Comics Presents #153, opening with, "Dangerous Games, part 2 of 4: Urban Safari" Written by Chris Cooper, breakdowns by Reggie Jones, finishes by Fred Harper. The Big Game Posse nearly killed Vengeance's cop friend Rebecca, and later kidnap rookie hero Annex (from the pages of Spider-Man, for some reason) is captured by the Posse, who intend to use him as bait to hunt "Ghost Rider." (Vengeance was not widely known by name, in-story.) The Posse is interrupted by Sam Buchanan from Darkhold, who wants to use Annex's technology with the anti-supernatural "Linda" weapon from Nightstalkers! That's like three deep cuts in an eight-pager, making Vengeance look like a big star in comparison.
Next up, "Hung Jury, part 2 of 3," written by Chuck Dixon, art by J.J. Birch. Moon Knight and Marlene investigate the Pretorians, a gang trying to influence a trial by extorting the jury. Marlene does the detective work, which Marc acknowledges is most of the job, while busting heads. Not bad.
On the flip side of the comic, somebody finally got to use the title "Logan's Run." (Written by Nel Yomtov, pencils by Phil Hugh Felix, inks by Rey Garcia.) Wolvie is chasing after his kidnapped friends from early in his solo book, Tyger Tiger and Archie Corrigan. But this is post-Fatal Attractions, so is Logan up to it? A burly thug isn't giving him the leads, so Logan appears to be on the verge of popping his claws through that guy's face!
Finally, we get War Machine, in "The Dying Game, part 2 of 4, Taking Care of Business" Written by Len Kaminski and Scott Benson, pencils by John Czop, inks by Tim Dzon. This was leading up to his solo book, as he investigated high-tech guns hitting the street. With four eight-page chapters, I feel like this could've just been his first issue; but maybe needed the build-up.

That, you can also that now very tired joke about ordering GR online off the Wish app and getting Vengeance instead.
He's got to be the replacement that lasted the least longest out of all the other MU replacements right? Seems like he only got a handful of issues as the new GR before getting the boot. I think even US Agent lasted longer as Cap than Vengence did.
