X-Men: First Class Giant-Size Special #1
In "The Thing (From Another Aisle)," Professor X dispatches the X-Men to investigate a mysterious discovery: the legendary Frankenstein monster, preserved in ice. What begins as a classic monster encounter takes a surprising turn when the team uncovers the truth behind the creature’s identity. Written by Roy Thomas and illustrated by Don Heck with inks by George Tuska, this 2008 Giant-Size Special features a cover by Jeff Parker and Kevin Nowlan.
In a quirky twist on alien invasion tropes, Beast and Iceman head to Antarctica chasing rumors of extraterrestrial threats—only to stumble upon a scientist whose experiments with soy have created something far stranger than they expected. The story blends sci-fi curiosity with the X-Men’s signature mix of intellect and unexpected humor, all in a brief, offbeat adventure that keeps its secrets close.
In "The Mark of the Monster!", Professor X [Changeling] leads his X-Men to investigate a frozen relic in the Arctic—only to face a creature of monstrous size and fury. What they discover is not the legendary Frankenstein, but an alien android driven mad by isolation, forcing the team into a desperate fight to stop a being far more dangerous than it appears.
