(Marvel Comics Presents I#12/3 (fb) ) - J. Jonah Jameson promised Lynch a job at the Daily Bugle if he could discover enough dirt about one of the so-called gods.

(Marvel Comics Presents I#12/3) - Lynch followed Hercules through New York City and watched him help old women in the traffic, movers with heavy stuff, a garbage ferry and women with flat tiers. Lynch wasn't happy with all these good deeds because this wasn't the dirt he needed, but he continued to follow Hercules. He followed him through five bars and Hercules drank a lot. Afterwards Hercules gambled and he was after women all the time. Lynch was happier with this stuff, but it still wasn't enough. Suddenly Hercules went into a side alley and helped a woman against a gang. The woman then tried to stab Hercules because she was in cahoots with the gang. Zeus appeared and asked Hercules to punish the woman, but Hercules didn't want to kill her. Zeus was happy because he just tested Hercules. After watching this Lynch understood that he couldn't write anything bad about Hercules. He ripped his notes apart although he knew that Jameson would fire him for this, but Lynch still saw a chance for himself to get a job at the Post
