Spidey #35
In "Voici venir le Mime," Stan Lee and Jay Gavin deliver a standout tale featuring a mysterious new threat: Calvin Rankin, a young man who can perfectly mimic the powers of others. After besting Bobby and Hank in combat by copying their abilities, Calvin tracks Jean to a restaurant, then follows her home, seeking a place among the X-Men. The story builds with tension as the team pursues him to an old mine, where his father’s hidden machine reveals a surprising truth about his powers. Jay Gavin’s dynamic art, inked by Dick Ayers, brings the action to life, while Jean-Yves Mitton’s cover captures the eerie intensity of the moment.

Bobby and Hank tussle with mysterious Calvin Rankin, who beats them by mimicking their powers. Calvin then has an encounter with Jean at a restaurant. Realizing he is dealing with the X-Men, Calvin follows Jean home and asks to join them. Once he has absorbed all of their powers, he battles them and captures Jean. The team follows him to his hideout deep in an old mine. Mimic uses his powers to uncover a machine his father built that will allow him to keep the combined powers for good. Xavier allows Mimic to use the machine which doesn't give him powers but strips his mimic powers away.
