In "The Big Guy," a 1946 tale from Captain America Comics #54, the hero and Bucky face off against a criminal who hides behind size and spectacle—towering furniture, giant dogs, and a towering girlfriend who works as a bouncer. When Cap tricks the Big Guy by kissing his girlfriend, the duo escapes with a clever dose of catnip, only to realize the criminal’s next target is linked to a small, stolen object from an atom smasher. The chase escalates to the rooftop, where the Big Guy makes a dramatic exit—using his hat as a parachute and riding off with his dog and girlfriend, who’s lost in thought over a moment she’ll never forget.
