In this episode, the (Mad) Thinker makes his debut, along with his seriously awesome android. Spidey and the Torch begin their bromance/brivalry, the Radioactive Man debates the finer points of international diplomacy with Thor, and Ant-Man nearly manages to star in a really great adventure but then ruins it by being a huge, tiny creep.
