In this episode, Iron Man finally, finally, FINALLY gets an arch-villain! Meanwhile, Spider-Man gets what seems like his tenth killer foe, and Giant-Man faces a guy who's motivated to become a supervillain because he gets obsessed with gluing wings onto horses or something (we didn't read too closely). Plus, Doctor Doom returns to mess with the Fantastic Four, and the Tomorrow Man abducts Thor into the far future!
Note: We started out by titling these episodes with the cover date (the date that's printed on the cover), but we switched to their newsstand dates (the dates they went on sale) around episode #50. The newsstand date for this episode is November/December 1963.
