"Power Play!" Part 1 of 3. Guest-starring the X-Men. On a bustling day in New York City, Peter Parker sits down for lunch with his (robot) parents Richard and Mary Parker. At the same time in the restaurant next door, four members of the original X-Men sit down for lunch too! When the bank across the street is robbed, the Spectacular Spider-Man and the Uncanny X-Men leap into action! As expected the super-heroes make short work of the robbers! However, while the web-slinger and the Beast are exchanging post-fight pleasantries, from out of the blue Professor Power attacks! Wow, that was most unexpected! Are the X-Men and the wall-crawler ready to rumble with Professor Power? X-Men Lineup: Archangel, Beast, Cyclops, and Iceman. (Notes: Professor Power previously appeared in Avengers West Coast Annual 7. He most recently fought Spider-Man in Marvel Team-Up 124.) 32 pages.
