Sometimes superheroes get new clothes for no reason other than the fact that it sells variant convers and maybe could be a microtransaction in a video game. This is call the Spider-Man sales plan.

Episode Notes
At the start of the 1970s crumbling relationships with Iran led to shocks in the global energy market, shooting up prices at the pump while the X-Men meandered aimlessly with Marvel not having a clue what to do with them. This is not commentary on current events.
Ranked This Episode:
- Marvel Team-Up #4
- Avengers #110-111
- Captain America Annual #4
