Cronon

Cronon was the ally of Stormrider and wore a similar costume. He was armed with a gun and was assigned to keep Captain America at gunpoint while Stormrider checked on his weather machine. He turned on Stormrider when Captain America convinced him of not sharing the Hostess Fruit Pies. His appearance suggests that maybe he wasn’t an adult and probably a young teenager.
