FIRST APPEARANCE IRON MAN & MEGA-RAGE HULK
FIRST APPEARANCE IRON MAN
Captured by a warlord and forced to build weapons for him, brilliant industrialist Tony Stark instead builds a magnetic chest plate to keep lethal shrapnel away from his heart. Then he builds a powerful suit of armor to help in his escape!
MEGA-RAGE HULK
Caught in a gamma bomb test, Dr. Bruce Banner found that the radiation had affected him on a genetic level, and that moments of stress or anger transformed him into the monstrous Hulk. The madder Hulk gets, the stronger Hulk gets, and the Hulk never met anything he couldn%u2019t smash.
GREEN GOBLIN w/GLIDER AND SPIDEY UNMASKED
GREEN GOBLIN W/GLIDER
Scientist Norman Osborne was developing a formula that would enhance strength and intelligence, but when he exposed himself to the untested serum, he discovered its terrible side effect: madness! Super-strong and super-smart, the criminal mastermind called the Green Goblin is also super-dangerous.
SPIDEY UNMASKED
Crimefighter Spider-Man had already earned the wrath of would-be crime lord Green Goblin, but once the Goblin deduced Spidey%u2019s secret identity, all bets were off! Peter Parker found himself caught in a deadly game of cat-and-mouse with the father of his best friend, one who has no qualms about revealing Spider-Man%u2019s face to the world.
BETSY BRADDOCK & BAMFING NIGHTCRAWLER
BETSY BRADDOCK
The sister of superhero Captain Britain, Braddock was recruited by the government for her precognitive powers, which later bloomed into full telepathy. Crossing paths with the X-Men, she was recruited onto the team after surviving an encounter with Sabretooth and assisting them during the Mutant Massacre.
BAMFING NIGHTCRAWLER
BAMF! With that distinctive sound, a purple cloud of smoke and the smell of brimstone, Nightcrawler makes his appearance on the scene, and is just as quick to leave it. A mutant teleporter, Kurt Wagner is feared by humans due to his blue fur and demonic appearance, and a longtime member of the X-Men.
FANTOMEX & MR. NEGATIVE
FANTOMEX
The mutant Fantomex is a hybrid of man and machine, a technorganic sentinel with an external nervous system and multiple brains designed to police the world%u2019s mutant population. Striking out on his own, he became a self-styled thief and solo operator before reluctantly joining up with the mutant black ops team known as X-Force.
MR. NEGATIVE
The man who bears the name Martin Li lives two lives: one as the kind-hearted operator of a soup kitchen, the other as a ruthless crimelord in New York%u2019s Chinatown. And where Li has the ability to heal, Mr. Negative has the ability to corrupt people, including Spider-Man, as well as charge his weapons with dark energy.
MR. SINISTER & NIMROD
MR. SINISTER
Mr. Sinister is that potentially lethal combination: a brilliant scientist with near-unlimited powers. The shape-shifting, energy-projecting telepath has been following the life of the X-Man Cyclops since he was a boy, and manipulating it in ways that no one could have expected.
NIMROD
A deadly, mutant-hunting Sentinel from an alternate future where Sentinels rule, Nimrod first came back to the present in pursuit of a time-travelling mutant, and has been destroyed and reincarnated more times than the X-Men can count.‘
