X-Men (1963) #1

First Appearance: X-Men (Cyclops, Marvel Girl, Beast, Iceman, Angel), Magneto

The first appearance of the X-Men and Magneto. Stan Lee and Jack Kirby introduced Professor Xavier's team of mutant students and their greatest nemesis in this landmark 1963 issue. One of the most valuable Silver Age keys — high-grade copies regularly sell for six figures.

Doctor Doom, born Victor Von Doom, is the absolute ruler of the nation of Latveria and the most dangerous villain in the Marvel Universe. A genius in both science and sorcery who was disfigured in a lab accident, Doom encased himself in iron armor and a metal mask to project power and hide his shame. Possessing intellect rivaling Reed Richards and mystical power rivaling Doctor Strange, Doom views himself not as a villain but as the only man capable of ruling the world correctly.
