Marvel Two-In-One Vol 1 #034

The Thing’s adventure across the Atlantic Ocean continues! This time, he pairs up with Nighthawk to defeat a monstrous menace! But is this strange creature truly as menacing as it looks?

Nighthawk is flying over London, on his way to a business meeting for his alter ego, Kyle Richmond. Once there, he learns that some scientists have discovered something unusual trapped within some rocks.

Cut to Ben and Professor Kort, who thinks he can finally cure Deathlok. The switch is thrown, and after an explosion Deathlok is moving again, though obviously not quite all there mentally, though we can’t tell if that’s a permanent thing or if he’s just waking up. In either case, S.H.I.E.L.D. promptly shows up (in the person of Nick Fury and Dum Dum Dugan), and takes Deathlok into their custody. As Kort and Ben watch them go, the phone rings, and Ben ends up accompanying Kort off to examine Kyle Richmond’s odd rock.

One neutron rayblast later, the rock shatters and out walks a pretty darn ugly purple monster from another planet. The fumes it gives off make everyone in the room pass out, and it leaves. We are privy to the alien’s thoughts, however, and its obviously not intending anyone any harm, its just a stranger in a strange land. Outside, it meets up with a young girl, who, of course, also passes out from its fumes, and the girls father and his friends find her, and it, and soon set out monster hunting. Meanwhile, Ben and Kyle wake up and take off after the creature themselves, Kyle letting Ben in on his secret identity as Nighthawk…
