Synopsis for "Bucky Reborn!"
The Hood decides that the best way to defeat Captain America is to use Bucky against him. He visits gyms until he finds an athlete that can pass for Bucky. He gets lucky and finds one that is a dead ringer for Bucky, and has amnesia, so might actually be Bucky. When Cap busts in on him brainwashing the athlete, the Hood reveals himself to be Baron Strucker and manages to overpower Cap using "Bucky" as a distraction. Before Strucker can kill Cap, "Bucky" snaps out of his trance, overpowers Strucker, and frees Cap.
