Early X-Men Crossover Event
First Crossover Appearance of Magneto and Brotherhood of Evil Mutants
I grew up watching the animated X-Men every Saturday morning. This fostered a long, everlasting love of the X-Men. I started collecting comics in high school and have continued since. In my collecting travels. I have amassed an uncanny collection of X-Men comics spanning 60 years. I have first appearances, variants, crossovers, and vintage issues from the beginning in 1963 till now. I am now passing on my prized possessions on to you.
I hope you get as much joy out of collecting as I did
"When Magneto Strikes!"
Thor visits a local fair, where a statue honoring him is on display, along with statues of other heroes from the New York City area. Thor is flattered, and is invited to visit the opening ceremonies.
Meanwhile, in a hidden craft (disguised as a floating log) in New York Harbor, the Brotherhood of Evil Mutants are attempting to locate the secret base of their foes the X-Men. Learning that their enemies are in New York somewhere, Magneto sends Mastermind, Toad, Quicksilver and the Scarlet Witch into the city to locate them. Launching them in a submersible craft, Magneto uses one of his new devices that causes many metal objects in the city to suddenly float in the air. Among the many panicked people witnessing the strange phenomenon is Don Blake, who -- after the abrupt end of the event -- seeks to locate its source as Thor.
Using his hammer to track the source of the power, Thor stumbles upon Magneto's hideout and confronts the master of magnetism. Thinking Thor is a mutant, Magneto offers Thor a chance to join him and enjoy his vast wealth. When Thor refuses, Magneto attacks, separating Thor from his hammer in a steel room long enough to cause Thor to revert to his mortal guise.
As Donald Blake, he barely avoids all of Magneto's traps, until Magneto is distracted by a distress call from his minions who are requesting assistance in a battle against the X-Men. Taking advantage of this free moment, Blake recovers his walking stick and changes into Thor.
Thor resumes his attack on Magneto, easily overpowering the foe, who manages to escape to a lower level of the craft where a Proton bomb is stored. Magneto is about to use the bomb to destroy Thor, but suddenly he is stopped and chased out of the ship by the X-Men.
Thor observes Magneto escaping in a submarine with the X-Men in pursuit, and finds the ship's escape hatch. He discovers that the X-Men saved his life by rendering the proton bomb useless. Thor exits the craft and uses his power over the storms to destroy the ship, then returns to the city.
