Los Vengadores #17
In "NUKLO... el invasor que el tiempo olvidó," the Avengers face a mysterious threat from the past as three separate teams converge on the Mansion to stop the time-displaced Nuklo. Written by Roy Thomas and S. Dulcet, with art by Rich Buckler and Dan Adkins, this 1976 issue delivers a tense, action-packed clash that culminates in Wanda using her Power Sphere to subdue Nuklo, while the Zumbador entrusts her with protecting his newfound brother—adding weight to the story he claims to have inherited from his presumed father, Robert Frank. The cover by López Espí captures the moment of confrontation with striking intensity.
In "NUKLO... el invasor que el tiempo olvidó," the Avengers' mansion is attacked by the Zumbador, who seeks the time capsule the team recently discovered. After a fierce clash, the Zumbador reveals a tragic past tied to a nuclear explosion that transformed his unborn son into the radioactive being known as Nuklo—a child sealed away for safety. When the capsule shatters, Nuklo breaks free and vanishes into the streets of New York, leaving the Avengers to track him down before he causes irreversible harm.
In "Capítulo 2: ¡El Chiquillo es Padre del Demonio!", the Avengers track Nuklo across the city as the Zumbador recovers in the Mansion's hospital, where he shares a haunting memory with Wanda—how, years ago, his wife’s unexpected pregnancy led them to the High Evolver, resulting in the birth of twins: Pietro and Wanda. Meanwhile, La Visión confronts Nuklo in one corner of town, while Thor and Mantis battle him elsewhere, and Captain America teams up with Iron Man in a separate clash.
In "Capítulo 3: ¡Lo que el Infierno ha juntado!", three separate groups of Avengers converge on the mansion grounds to confront Nuklo, whose presence fractures reality itself. As the battle culminates in a sudden explosion, the Zumbador and Wanda emerge from the mansion, where Wanda uses her Power Sphere to subdue Nuklo and return him to a new Time Capsule. With the Zumbador once again weakened, he entrusts Wanda with protecting his "new" brother—giving weight to the story he claimed was told by his supposed father, Robert Frank.
In "La Antorcha Humana: El Rayo de Locura," the Human Torch races to Jupiter after Earth is thrown into chaos by a sudden wave of violent animal attacks, only to face the alien Jovians and their enigmatic leader, Kleezar. When the Torch disrupts a sacred fiery pool, the consequences ripple back to Earth, leaving him powerless and plummeting—only to be saved by Captain America’s swift, heroic intervention.
