VILLAINS: Toad Men (first appearance)

In "The Terror of the Toad Men," a mysterious alien force descends on Earth, abducting its most brilliant mind—Bruce Banner—only to find themselves outmatched when the sun is blocked and he transforms into the Hulk. Fought aboard their own ship and driven by instinct, the Hulk brings the craft down, leaving General Ross convinced Bruce betrayed them. But as the Toad Men launch a full-scale assault, it's not brute strength that saves the day—it's the sharp mind of Bruce Banner, whose intellect proves the ultimate weapon against the invasion.
