Synopsis for "Cold Fire!"

Mister Hyde chains Captain America to the bow of the oil tanker, then plans on using it as a nuclear torpedo that will destroy all of New York City. Batroc, wanting no part in Hyde's mass murder scheme, surreptitiously loosens the chains binding Cap, allowing him the ability to break free. Batroc returns to the wheelhouse of the ship and attacks Mister Hyde. Hyde suspected that Batroc might betray him and prepares to snap his spine.

Cap boards the boat and slings his shield at Hyde. Batroc and Cap then double-team Mister Hyde driving him towards the back of the ship. Mister Hyde rips free a gas main, which coats him with natural gas that instantly freezes over him. He then topples off the side of the ship seemingly to his doom. Cap dives into the water to rescue him, while Batroc makes his escape on a tug boat.

Cap fails to find any trace of Mister Hyde, but manages to use Hyde's mini-sub to catch up to Batroc's boat. He radios the Coast Guard, who surround Batroc, forcing him to surrender.


Notes

  • This issue includes a two-page pictorial history entitled "The Life and Times of Captain America". The vignette provides snapshots of Cap's career both as a soldier in World War II, and a member of the Avengers.
  • This issue includes a layout of Steve Rogers' apartment, illustrated by John Byrne.
  • This issue includes a one-page feature entitled "Captain America's Partners Against Crime" featuring mini-biographies for Nick Fury, Dum Dum Dugan, the Falcon, Leila Taylor, Bucky and Sharon Carter. The final panel, intended as team-image of the Avengers, instead features a postscript which reads, "Dear Roger, if you think I'm going to draw all of the Avengers - every single member and all of the various hangers-on - in this little space, you can think again! -- John Byrne".
  • This issue includes a flashback to Captain America's first fight with Mister Hyde from Captain America #152.
  • This issue includes a flashback of Mister Hyde in his identity of Calvin Zabo. The flashback takes place during his six-month prison stretch at Ryker's Island following the events from Captain America #180-182.


Trivia
