So Captain America 2 was actually an adaptation of Moonraker (the novel)

And a more faithful adaptation than the film, at that.

The villain is disguised as a super-patriot. His plan involves launching something which he says will keep people safe but is actually designed to kill a whole lot of people. The two main heroes, during the course of their investigation, end up buried under rubble after an explosion (although because this is Ian Fleming we're talking about, in the novel the end up nekkid).

And so on.
