story identification - When did Spider-Man fight against the X-Men?


I remember reading some of my uncle's old comics a long time ago - these were from the 80s or earlier. One scene that stands out is a scene where a bunch of Marvel heroes were in a large alien base. I seem to recall that it was abandoned and they were using it as their base at the time.


Spider-Man is crawling along the ceiling, wondering about what all the pipes are for (and notes that they make crawling on the ceiling fun or challenging, and are good for hiding) when he overhears the X-Men planning to leave the base to join with Magneto.


Spidey is detected (I think by Prof X) and proceeds to open up seven kinds of beating on the X-Men during his escape, and is about to tell Captain America what he heard when Xavier blanks out his mind.



I think Doom was involved somehow, too.


Does anyone recognize this scene? What comic was it in?



Answer



This happened during the original Secret Wars limited series. Doom wasn't in this scene, though he was in other parts of the story.


Marvel Super Heroes Secret Wars; volume 1, issue 3 of 12; July 1984:


There had been friction between the X-Men and the other heroes. Rogue in particular felt the Avengers distrusted her; understandable, she had recently been a member of the Brotherhood of Evil Mutants. Spider-Man had been exploring the building they were using as a headquarters, and he happened across the X-Men--Wolverine, Professor X, Cyclops, Colossus, Nightcrawler, and Rogue--discussing the situation, indicating that they were about to leave to join Magneto. Xaviar sensed Spidey eavesdropping, and he attacked them, possibly thinking he needed to do so to escape and tell the other heroes about this conversation.


Xaviar made him forget the incident before he could tell Reed Richards about this.


The same issue includes a split between Doom and Magneto; a creepy, barely-consensual makeout session between Magneto and the Wasp (after he kidnaps her); and the creation of Volcana and Titania.

futurama - How much time is lost in 'Time Keeps on Slippin''

In time Keeps on Slippin' , Farnsworth creates a basketball team which he matures by abusing Chronitons. This leads to time skipping forward by random, but ever increasing amounts. How much time was skipped in this way? Answer Unfortunately, I don't think a good estimate can be made for this, for two reasons: Many of the time skips move forward by an indeterminate amount of time. At one point, the Professor mentions localized regions of space skipping forward much more than others. We then see two young boys on the street below complaining about having to pay social security, only to suddenly become senior citizens and start complaining about wanting their money. Thus, each individual could have experienced a different amount of time skippage.

harry potter - How could Expelliarmus beat Avada Kedavra?

I want to be very careful about how I ask this question – I am not asking How did Voldemort die? [CLOSED] Below the text is the relevant passages from Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows if anyone wants to review them (I'm sorry for the amount of text). How did Expelliarmus beat Avada Kedavra and kill Voldemort? I feel the reason Harry's Expelliarmus overpowered Voldemort's Avada Kedavra curse has to do with who was master of the Elder Wand and how the Elder Wand works. I've always had trouble understanding fully how the Elder Wand works, though. How much did the fact that Voldemort never truly won or mastered the Elder Wand factor into how Expelliarmus reacted to Avada Kedavra and caused Avada Kedavra to rebound and kill Voldemort? An answer based in book canon would be especially welcome, but any canon source really is fine. Harry heard the high voice shriek as he, too, yelled his best hope to the heavens, pointing Draco’s wand: ‘ Avada Kedavra !’ ‘ Expelliarmus !...

Is there good canon evidence for the "Nightmare Matrix"?

On the Matrix wiki, there's an article about the Nightmare Matrix which says: The Nightmare Matrix was the second prototype Matrix, designed by The Architect after the massive failure of the Paradise Matrix in the hope that human minds would more readily accept an imperfect world with suffering. Unlike the first version, this Matrix instituted a basic cause-and-effect programming and forcibly made those connected to it accept the program. Vamp Prime, a possible remnant of the Nightmare Matrix. It also featured programs that resembled mythical evil creatures in various human mythologies such as vampires, werewolves, zombies, aliens, etc. It also failed, but many of the programs who were designed for it survived deletion in exile. The Merovingian and his wife, Persephone may have had their roots in this version of the Matrix. Upon its failure, the Merovingian started a smuggling ring of programs and information to provide a haven for exiles that would last for 6 cycles in the final ...

story identification - Anime with a boy hiring a creature from a stone, meets a man named Dante and starts a journey to collect crystals

I am from India, this anime or animated series (I can't remember this was made by the Japan or other countries) was aired between 2009 and 2012 probably in Jetix/Disney XD (but I'm not sure). This anime starts with a boy (the main character, I forgot his name) who find a stone (or crystal like thing) in his dad's property, his dad was missing that time. Some day he accidentally hire a creature/monster from that stone. Other day some creature attack him and he was saved by his creature and the story begins. In his journey to solve the mystery he meets a middle aged man 'Dante' (probably that was the name; this is the only character name I can remember). He had also some stone. After that they meet with one girl and a women (one of the girls is same age with the main boy character and probably will become his partner as the story goes on). Another women probably Dante's partner. Four of them started their journey to collect all the stone/crystal. They are collecti...
