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
