Stan Lee and Jack Kirby kicked off the X-Men with an epic battle against Magneto. This classic second issue introduces the idea of other mutant super villains that also need to be stopped by our earnest teens. The Vanisher has the ability to teleport. and uses that talent to steal national secrets before demanding millions of dollars from the US government in an exciting standoff at the White House. The use of the mutant hero/villain motif would become the backbone of much of the X-Men's Marvel line, and this beloved early issue shows the foundations being laid for greatness to come.
