“Now Strikes the Sub-Human”

A brutish, long-haired villain identified as the Sub-Human dominates this 1974 Marvel cover, hoisting a massive steel beam while Cyclops takes a direct energy blast and Iceman and another X-Man scramble amid the rubble — and a speech bubble warns that every blast, every blow only makes him stronger. Cover pencils by Larry Lieber and inks by Frank Giacoia deliver a chaotic urban battleground that makes the team's predicament feel genuinely dire. It's a vivid snapshot of the X-Men stretched to their limits against a foe who feeds on punishment.
