American Dreamers
During World War II, Jimmy and his powers were discovered by Nick Fury after he brought a two-headed cat to school. Although still only a child, Jimmy Jupiter was used by Fury as his "secret weapon" in a mission to attack a HYDRA base that included Captain America, Peggy Carter, Dum Dum Dugan and Codename: Bravo. However, after sending Codename: Bravo and his team through a portal to Nowhere, a HYDRA agent bashed Jimmy's head in, rendering him comatose.
Jimmy re-appeared nearly seventy years later during a surprise attack on his former allies by Codename: Bravo. Although having come out of his coma, he was still catatonic and unresponsive. After visiting him at a rest home, Captain America, Nick Fury, and Sharon Carter were attacked by HYDRA agents. This only served as a distraction however, as other agents of HYDRA managed to escape with Jimmy. Realizing that they'd led the agents right to Jimmy, it was apparent that the agents were working for Bravo.
