Alan Ladd Wellington Scott

Richard Milhouse Jones
TACTICAL VERDICT: Alan Scott triumphs with an estimated 56% win probability. The primary decider was the stark differential in martial combat execution (32 vs 64).
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.

Misty entered a warehouse to reinforce Captain America and was shocked to find out that he was turned into Cap-Wolf. Earlier, Captain America fought Karl Malus after learning that the Sons of the Serpent was a front for his genetic experiments. Malus defeated him with his Symbiote powers and he later woke up as a werewolf. Using his psychic bond with Redwing, who Malus took, Captain America tracked both of them down and used Redwing's new sonic cannon to exploit Malus' weakness to loud noises, defeating him. Then, Cap found Redwing in a chamber with a mutated Joaquin Torres before contacting his grandmother Mariana and confirming his safety. Then, the Whisperer contacted Cap and told him that the cosmetics industry was Malus' employer. Meanwhile, Serpent Solutions told several men in a meeting room to let them worry about Captain America even after suspecting that he could be onto them.
