NIGHT OF THE STEEL SERPENT (1977)

Iron Fist's first solo series wrapped up with the introduction of Sabretooth and a clash with the X-Men, but there were still some loose ends left dangling. Who was the Iron Fist lookalike that was following Danny Rand and trying to steal his chi? And what would happen with Misty Knight's secret mission to infiltrate the criminal organisation of the man called Bushmaster? Looks like an obligatory team-up with Spider-Man will have to hold the answers...
  • Iron Fist #14-15
  • Marvel Team-Up #63-64
Iron Fist #14
After a surprise attack by a similarly-dressed shadowy figure, Iron Fist takes a job with Colleen Wing acting as bodyguards for Jeryn Hogarth in Canada. They're attacked by a group of mercenaries led by a new guy calling himself Sabretooth. Iron Fist suffers snow-blindness during the fight and relies on sound and instinct to defeat him.

Iron Fist #15
Days later, Iron Fist is attacked again by the guy with a serpent on his chest who steals a little more chi and he promises that, next time, he'll steal the power of the Iron Fist. That evening, Wolverine's stalking Jean Grey's apartment when he sees Iron Fist heading in via the roof. The apartment's trashed as the rest of the X-Men join the fight against the 'burglar, only for Iron Fist to reveal Jean's flatmate, Misty Knight, is his ex-girlfriend. Meanwhile, Misty's over in the Caribbean, having infiltrated Bushmaster's organisation as his new love-interest...
Marvel Team-Up #63
Weeks later, Danny Rand's Daily Bugle photo shoot with Peter Parker is interrupted by a challenge from the Steel Serpent, the mystery assailant. Iron Fist heads to Inwood Park, followed by Parker as Spider-Man. Having blown her cover with Bushmaster, Misty Knight arrives on the scene to find Iron Fist robbed of his chi by the Steel Serpent.

Iron Fist joins the fight, but it's the power of the Iron Fist that undoes the Steel Serpent, burning him out and leaving just a smouldering stain on the ground.

MARVEL MONSTERS (2005)

One of Marvel's fifth-week events from 2005 centred around the classic Marvel Monsters that would invade the pages of Strange Tales , Journey into Mystery , Amazing Adventures , Tales to Astonish and Tales of Suspense every month, before the age of heroes. While it was an okay event at best, the four one-shots finally established that those behemoths from outer space and other dimensions did actually inhabit the Marvel Universe ! The highlight is the Hulk 's clash with Devil Dinosaur (a character who was first introduced in the 1970s), but we also found out what some of these creatures had been up to since their early '60 debuts, an untold tale of the time some of the Marvel U's more monstrous heroes gathered to fight them and, finally, the introduction of the  Fin Fang Four ! The featured stories aren't connected and most issues also featured reprints of classic Marvel Monster tales. Marvel Monsters: Devil Dinosaur #1 [1/2] Marvel Monsters: Monsters on the Prow...

WHEN MUTANTS CLASH (1967-1968)

When Captain America leaves Earth's Mightiest Heroes, the Avengers start to come apart at the seams. If that wasn't enough, two former-members of the Brotherhood of Evil Mutants - Quicksilver and the Scarlet Witch - are about to leave the Avengers in favour of rejoining their old boss, Magneto . Will there even be a team left? Perhaps they could consider a new member like Dane Whitman -  a guy who can't make up his mind if he's a forward-thinking or an old-school Black Knight .  Magneto has plan to keep an eye on the shipping news and raid boats that pass his mid-Atlantic island base to help finish off his machine that will turn humanity into his mindless slaves. Will the Avengers and the X-Men be too busy fighting each other to thwart this bizarre scheme?
