Synopsis:
Captain America tries to reign in and help the Hulk and in the procces gets a new sidekick. Steve is alone on a quiet empty street when suddenly two massive green hands push thru a wall! The Hulk has just arrived. The military is once again chasing the Hulk, and Steve changes into Captain America and attempts to help the bewildered Hulk as Rick Jones shows up. The Hulk harms Rick without meaning to and takes off. Cap picks Rick up and takes him to his apartment to recuperate.
After Rick dons a Bucky costume, Cap initially objects but soon allows him to prove himself. Responding to an alert, Cap and Bucky track Hydra to a secret underground lair where they battle hordes of agents. They are separated and Cap faces a Hydra agent wearing a power vest. In a twist, the defeated Captain America is revealed to be Cap himself in disguise, exposing the enemy’s deception.
Madame Hydra escapes, but Rick Jones earns Captain America’s approval as the new Bucky in this classic Jim Steranko story.
