Alan Ladd Wellington Scott
Richard Milhouse Jones

Both combatants exchange lightning opening volleys with near-identical operational reflexes, neither yielding ground in the opening clash.
Alan Scott unleashes full destructive capacity (100 Power rating), forcing A-Bomb onto the back foot with overwhelming concussive force.
In the grueling war of attrition, Alan Scott's supreme hand-to-hand discipline (32 Combat) and endurance (90 Durability) break A-Bomb's posture, securing a definitive victory.

An evil Steve Rogers, working for Hydra, came to the UN assembly in Brussels to deliver a speech. He made it clear that any attacks or espionage on Hydra territory would no longer be tolerated, but would be met with exile and embargo. He also stated that Hydra did not need the rest of the world's financial or military support, but offered these nations to grow alongside them in a new era. Before he could continue and make a claim for the Savage Land, Steve was interrupted by Black Panther, who joined via hologram. T'Challa reminded the Hydra leader that his forces had already tried and failed three times to invade Wakanda. He challenged the man to face him himself, rather than sending more men for him to kill. Leaving the assembly, Steve ran into Namor. He had been sending the king of Atlantis threatening letters regarding a cube fragment in his possession. One last time, he urged Namor to give back what was his, before he'd be forced to take it.
