“Stranger in a Strange Man!”

In "Stranger in a Strange Man!", the Avengers face a shocking twist when the mysterious Stranger’s attack leaves The Wasp critically injured and rushed to the hospital. As Yellowjacket vows revenge, the team is stunned to learn the Stranger is actually Toad—Magneto’s secret operative—revealing a deception that shakes their trust. Steve Englehart’s story, illustrated with dynamic precision by George Tuska and inked by Vince Colletta, unfolds with tension and surprise, while Gil Kane’s cover captures the eerie mystery of the moment.
