Bio[]
A rebellious orphan, Rick Jones stumbled into the test site for the Gamma Bomb and inadvertently caused Bruce Banner to be caught in the blast while trying to save Rick, transforming Banner into the Hulk. Rick became the Hulk's closest confidant, a member of the Avengers and a friend and sidekick to heroes like Captain America, Captain Marvel and Rom. For a time, he was transformed into the gamma-powered monster A-Bomb. He decides to use mobile cameras to record the Hulks adventures to improve their reputation, and naming the group. Rick becomes A-Bomb but like Hulk retains his full intelligence and is unable, or unwilling to change back to human form. He has shown all the powers of his comic version, including strength, armor, and camouflage.
Abilities[]
Rick Jones is an athletic man that previously had no superhuman powers. He has received training in combat gymnastics by Captain America and developed a strong courageous spirit. He is also a skilled self-taught folk and rock n' roll singer and guitarist.
Rick would receive further training by the hero Mar-Vell as they would be bonded symbiotically. He temporarily had one of the Nega-bands, which provided him with the same powers as Mar-Vell, such as flight, energy blasts, and simple matter manipulation.
During the Kree-Skrull war, Rick demonstrated vast psionic powers which the Supreme Intelligence claimed were latent in all humans.
Rick would learn how to further his inherent heroism due to his experiences with Captain Marvel. However, this display of power was retconned as the Destiny Force acting through Rick, and not his own innate power. He was also, for some time, able to shift spacial/temporal positions with Mar-Vell and later Genis-Vell.
He was temporarily given superhuman powers by the Beyonder, including strength, flight, durability, and energy blasts.
