This Newsstand Edition presents 'The Ties That Bind!', featuring Spider-Man and the Beast. Professor Power, last seen in Marvel Team-Up 118, gains incredible power by transferring his mind into his comatose son's body, seeking revenge against Charles Xavier and the X-Men. When Professor Power ambushes Hank McCoy, the web-slinger joins the fight, leading to a desperate struggle where the heroes' last hope lies with the Beast's mother, Edna McCoy. This issue was reprinted in Marvel Tales 241, indicating its enduring appeal.
