AVENGERS #25 (1966)

The Avengers go to Europe and meet Doctor Doom. Actually, there’s more to it than that.

Scarlet Witch and Quicksilver learn of an “aunt” in Latveria. It’s a trap.

Meanwhile, Cap trains with ropes.
At first, Doom appears to be a nice dude.

But he’s in cahoots with Rama Tut.

We learn that Rama Tut may be a future self of Dr. Doom.

It’s untrue, as we learn much later, but it’s one of Marvel history’s longest-running “red herrings.” Although Kang, who is really an alternate-universe Nathaniel Richards, was inspired enough by Doom to make a similar face mask.
As for Pietro and Wanda meeting their parents, it’s a trap. Doom lured the mutant siblings there. They fight but lose.

Hawkeye and Cap go to help, and Hawkeye thinks Cap does too much speechifying.


He actually teases Cap about it three times in this one issue.


Hawkeye also mouths off to Dr. Doom, who isn’t having any of that.

Meanwhile, the Fantastic Four try to help but get cockblocked by the U.S. Government.

The Avengers eventually win. Of course, winning is not enough.

Cap is a worrier. He’s the “Cyclops” of this team.

Why they kept going to #102 is beyond me. They should have just done a big issue #100 send0ff. For this final story they brought in relative newcomers to Marvel…
