Marvel Team-Up annual #3Issue(s): Marvel Team-Up annual #3 Review/plot: Nightshade convinces the Hulk that she's his friend. ![]() It's a good scheme and it's surprising that villains don't try it. ![]() But Luke Cage and Iron Fist have been hired to guard whatever mcguffin Nightshade is after, and after some initial fisticuffs... ![]() ![]() ...Cage does a good job talking the Hulk down... ![]() ...even though Machine Man, who the Hulk really doesn't like, is also there (The company that hires Power Man & Iron Fist is actually the insurance company that Machine Man works for. In fact, the agent working the case is Brock Jones, who is the minor super-hero known as the ![]() ![]() ![]() Describing Nightshade, the Hulk tells Luke that she looks "like you", meaning that she's black. ![]() Brief cameo by Spider-Man just checking out a crime that's already been taken care of by Cage and Fist... ![]() ...but otherwise it's another issue of Marvel Team-Up without Spidey. ![]() Quality Rating: B- Chronological Placement Considerations: The Hulk starts and stops this issue leaping through the wilderness. The appearances of Luke & Danny are context free. For Machine Man, i've placed this between issues #15-16. Beginning with #16 Machine Man has lost an arm and is then looking for Sunset Bain and then has a problem with his face, and in #19 he's no longer working at the insurance company, so this works better before all that starts.

Posted by: Mark Drummond | September 10, 2011 11:13 PM John Byrne was the announced artist for this, but left due to taking over Captain America. Trimpe was only available because Shogun Warriors got cancelled. Posted by: Mark Drummond | September 2, 2012 6:28 PM Brock Jones was the third Torpedo (see Daredevil 127). Posted by: Guido | January 12, 2013 5:19 AM The other two Torpedoes only appear in one story each, though. So at the time i didn't want to mark this one with a III designator. Will be covering the other Torpedoes soon. Well, the first one soon and the second one "soon".

Posted by: fnord12 | January 12, 2013 10:24 PM I notice a lot of superheroes compare their experiences to previous ones. Do they get a sense of deja vu and just want to let us know? Posted by: clyde | February 20, 2015 10:31 AM Dave Humphrys may have been an understudy for Josef Rubinstein. He inked along with Joe on the second story in PPTSSM #49.
