The X-Men #8
In "The Uncanny Threat of... Unus, the Untouchable!", the X-Men face their strangest foe yet when Beast, disillusioned after a violent attack, leaves the team and turns to professional wrestling—only to cross paths with Unus, a mutant whose powers make him untouchable. With Jack Kirby’s dynamic art and Stan Lee’s sharp storytelling, the issue pits the X-Men against a foe whose very existence challenges their mission, while Hank’s invention threatens to escalate the conflict in ways no one expected. Cover by Jack Kirby and Chic Stone.

Unus is trying to join Magneto's Brotherhood so he takes on the X-Men. The X-Men barely fend him off and find Beast has constructed a machine that will actually increase Unus' powers. The X-Men try to prevent Hank from using the machine, but, once Unus has been zapped, he finds that he cannot even eat without the food being repelled out of his hands.
