Synopsis:
Nick Fury gives Stark Enterprises Marvel Boy's Quantum Bands to study. Mild-mannered SHIELD recruit Wendell Vaughn is assigned to a security detail guarding the bands even though his father is the head scientist in charge of the experiments. Test pilot William Wesley tries out the bands but the energy kills him, just as it killed Marvel Boy. When AIM attempts to steal the bands, Wendell slips them on and repels the invaders singlehandedly. When he finds he is able to control the Quantum Bands without the power killing him, Fury offers to let him become a super powered agent of SHIELD.
