Description
The newly-formed Avengers hold their first meeting at Tony Stark's New York townhouse, unaware that the Space Phantom, the advance scout of an alien invasion, has arrived on Earth intent on eliminating them. The Space Phantom has the power to become an exact duplicate of any being while casting the person whose likeness he assumes into Limbo. Impersonating the Hulk, he sows discord among the heroes and breaks up their meeting, but when Rick Jones suspects that the Hulk is not himself, the Space Phantom gloatingly reveals his true identity to the teenager. Thus, while the ersatz Hulk attacks Tony Stark's factory, Rick alerts Giant-Man and the Wasp. The alien takes over the identities of first Giant-Man, then Iron Man, and battles the other Avengers, while the Wasp seeks out Thor. When the Thunder God arrives, the Space Phantom attempts to take his identity, but his power will not work on an Asgardian and transports the alien to Limbo instead. During the battle, the Hulk has come to realize how the other Avengers dislike and distrust him, and he leaps away, quitting the team.
