We enter 1965 as J. Jonah Jameson decides that if you can't beat 'em, hire someone to create someone who can! Plus, the Avengers run afoul of both the X-Men and the Mole Man, Thor flashes back to his fight against a certain jade giant, and we get our first glimpse of the Leader's elongated green face!
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 October/November 1964.
