Why it's Hot:

Synopsis:
The Avengers face the newly formed Masters of Evil, led by Baron Zemo, who seeks revenge against Captain America for gluing his hood to his face. Using Adhesive X, the Masters immobilize the city, but with help from Paste-Pot Pete, the Avengers find a way to dissolve it. Switching opponents to gain the advantage, they defeat the Masters’ members, though Zemo escapes — unaware he has stolen a canister of tear gas instead of his prized adhesive.
