Synopsis
Captain America traces the missing policemen to a graveyard and with the
Falcon’s help barely escapes the Grey Gargoyle’s touch that can turn any man into stone. Gargoyle makes a strategic retreat with hopes
of creating an army of living statues, and culminating his plan by
stealing Element X; Falcon then
follows the Gargoyle to the villain’s headquarters while Cap meets with
Nick Fury and Sharon Carter in SHIELD’s helicarrier.

- The Grey Gargoyle/Paul Duvall is “Pierre DuVal” in this issue. “Pierre” is later revealed to be Duvall’s middle name.

Edna McCoy. Recently married, the couple have relocated to a new home
provided by Norton’s employers an atomic energy plant. One day some of
the carbon rods be lowered due to the fact that there is a short in the
electrical systems.
Ordered to get the chief electrical engineer, Norton disobeys
orders to manually lower the rods. Although in a protective suit, the
radiation is intense and although Norton manages to save the day he
passes out due to his exposure to the rods radioactivity. Norton
survives and after a brief stay at the hospital he is released.
Sometime later in a new home and new job Norton and Edna conceive
a child, however the doctors are worried about the state of the child
given Norton’s previous exposure to radiation. However months later,
when their boy — named Henry — is born, the only odd thing about the
boy is his large hands and feet. When Hank’s Uncle Bob comes to visit,
he responds to his uncles cooing by punching him in the chin. Marvelling
at the boys strength, Bob tells them that the boy could be the next
heavyweight champ and field kicker.
