This one is spoileriffic, because today's theme is "Big Bad Revealing Itself As Someone Close to the Hero"

1. Just recently, in the pages of Captain America, the city of Philadelphia was bombed by what looks to be the return of Bucky!!

2. A vigilante is cutting a path through the Gotham underworld in recent Batman stories. Named the Red Hood, he is causing a problem for Batman AND the other criminales in town, until Batman comes face to face with him, and learns that it is Jason Todd!

3. Blue Beetle was recently investigating a conspiracy that was moving against every superhero in the world, and his investigation led him all the way to a castle, and the revelation that the big bad guy was Beetle's good friend, Maxwell Lord!!
