“The Beast-Man That Shouted "Hate" at the Heart of the U.N.!”

In "The Beast-Man That Shouted 'Hate' at the Heart of the U.N.!", Superman and Captain Marvel—back to normal after a bizarre power shift—seek answers at the Rock of Eternity, only to stumble upon a surreal alliance: the mischievous Mr. Mxyzptlk, the cunning Mr. Mind, and the towering King Kull. With the fate of the Marvel Family hanging in the balance, Mxy’s playful trickery takes a dangerous turn when he traps the heroes in Hoppy the Marvel Bunny’s whimsical universe, setting off a chain of events that tests loyalty, power, and the true meaning of heroism. Written by Roy Thomas and illustrated by Rich Buckler, with inks by Dick Giordano and colors by Gene D’Angelo, this 1981 classic features a cover by Rich Buckler and Dick Giordano that captures the absurdity and intensity of the moment.

Mxy sends the heroes to Hoppy the Marvel Bunny's universe, trading them for Hoppy and Millie.
