Marvel Team-Up #5
In "A Passion of the Mind!", the Puppet Master hijacks a Skrull scout, unaware that the alien's mind resonates with the Vision’s unique frequency—setting off a clash of minds when he attacks the Baxter Building. With Spider-Man and the Vision forced into an unexpected confrontation, the battle becomes less about fists and more about the fragile line between control and consciousness. Written by Gerry Conway and illustrated by Gil Kane, with inks by Mike Esposito and letters by John Costanza, this 1972 Marvel Team-Up features a cover by Gil Kane and Frank Giacoia.
