“The Vengeance of Loki!”

In Journey into Mystery #88, Stan Lee and Steve Ditko deliver a quirky, offbeat tale where American machinery—fed up with sabotage and lies—rises up to protect its own. When a Soviet spy tries to stir unrest among factory workers, he underestimates the machines' loyalty to their homeland and their unexpected will to defend it. The cover by Jack Kirby and Steve Ditko captures the chaos, while Ditko’s distinctive art brings the mechanical rebellion to life.

A Soviet spy attempts to get American factory workers to strike by acts of sabotage and by convincing them that working conditions are unsafe. He doesn't reckon with the machines, which are "Made in America", coming to life with a mind of their own and taking matters in their own hands in order to deal with him.
