In Last Hero Standing #5, the Hulk, mind-controlled by Loki, proves nearly unstoppable as the Marvel Next heroes struggle to stop him. When Spider-Girl and Captain America arrive with Thor, the tide shifts—only for Cap to make the ultimate sacrifice, shattering Loki’s control crystal and restoring the heroes’ senses. With Loki banished to Limbo and the Hulk vanishing with him, Thor honors Cap’s bravery with a solemn tribute. Written by Tom DeFalco and Pat Olliffe, with art by Pat Olliffe and inks by Scott Koblish, the issue’s cover by Tom Grummett and Karl Kesel captures the moment’s weight.

The Hulk is being controlled by Loki and the Marvel Next heroes find they can't bring him down. Spider-Girl and Cap show up with Thor who promptly joins the battle. With little ground still being made, Captain America sacrifices his life to destroy Loki's control crystal and all of our heroes return to their right minds. Hulk pushes Loki into Limbo and they both disappear. Thor gives Cap a stellar tribute fitting a fallen hero.
