Secret Wars #3

Issue: Marvel Super Heroes Secret Wars Vol. 1 #3

Publishing Date: July 1984

Highlights: The heroes and villains battle yet once more, while the villains seem to be getting stronger with their teamwork, the heroes seem to be falling apart from the inside out.

Synopsis: While a wicked storm rages outside making it impossible for anyone to attack, the heroes explore their new hideout. The Heroes break into separate groups, all trying to regroup from their previous battle. At Magneto’s hideout, he and the Wasp decide to talk in a civil manner while they wait out the storm. And over at the villain’s hideout, Dr. Doom creates 2 new super villain-esses. While exploring, Spider Man comes across the X-Men, who are planning to leave the heroes hideout to join Magneto, but when he goes to report this, Xavier wipes his mind of the conversation. Thor and the Enchantress go off through a portal to talk of things only Gods can talk of. The villains attack the heroes as soon as the storm breaks, taking them by surprise and freeing all their comrades before returning to their hideout.

Extra Info: Rogue is visibly unnerved by the fact that she is in the same place as the Avengers, given their past history together.

Contradictions: Rogue’s super strength can’t break through Spider Man’s webs, which seems kind of unrealistic considering she can take down whole buildings.

Powers Taken: None

Key Issue: Yes
