The X-Men Here Comes... Daredevil The Mighty Thor #[nn]

In a 1975 tale of power and identity, the X-Men face a new threat when Calvin Rankin, a young man with the uncanny ability to mimic others’ powers, challenges them in a brutal test of strength. After a clash with Iceman and Beast, Calvin tracks down Marvel Girl, seeking a place among the team—only to turn on them when he fully absorbs their abilities. As the X-Men pursue him to an abandoned mine, they uncover the truth behind his origin and the machine built by his father. The story explores the cost of power and the search for belonging, with Xavier offering Calvin a choice that changes everything.

In "And Men Shall Call Him...Ox!", a desperate escape from prison sets the stage for a twisted game of identity and intellect. When the brute known as Ox is manipulated by his cunning cellmate, Dr. Karl Stragg, into believing a daring escape will bring him a sharper mind, the plan takes a shocking turn—one that leaves the real Ox trapped in a new body, and the doctor wearing his strength like a mask. Daredevil, drawn into the chaos by a trail of clues and a familiar face, must confront the terrifying new form of the Ox, now wielding both power and a mind far beyond his original limits.

When a costume store owner named Melvin Potter dons the Gladiator suit and declares himself a true hero, his ambitions take a dangerous turn. Foggy Nelson, tempted by a flashy Daredevil costume and a wild idea, agrees to a staged fight—only to find himself in over his head when the Gladiator means business. With Karen watching and the city cloaked in fog, Matt Murdock must step in to save his friend, all while the real Daredevil remains hidden in the shadows.

In "The Vengeance of the Thunder God," Thor must prove his worth before Odin by defeating the Absorbing Man in a race against time, aided by reporter Harris Hobbs and a brave police unit. With Loki’s deceit casting shadows and Jane Foster still in peril, Thor’s strength is tested not just in battle, but in loyalty, as he races to clear his name before the Trial of the Gods begins.
