With Marvel celebrating its 80th anniversary this year – and to scratch my own history and research itches – every week I’m digging through a whole host of important dates and details for a special segment of This Week in Marvel called… (wait for it) … This Week in Marvel History! Important comics, storylines, character appearances and moments, real world releases and special Marvel milestones—it’s all part of TWIMH! Here are just a few Marvel History notes for the week of September 20-September 26!

September 20

1977: Wendell Vaughn made his first appearance in CAPTAIN AMERICA #217 by Roy Thomas, Don Glut, and John Buscema. Wendell’s most well-known persona is Quasar, protector of the universe and close confidante of the weird cosmic entity Eon. But in his first appearance, he took on the identity of Marvel Boy—the Atlas-era Super Hero—and is part of a team of S.H.I.E.L.D. Super Heroes. Texas Twister, Vamp, and Blue Streak are also on the squad, the latter two of which also debuted this issue. Blue Streak? SO FEARSOME WITH HIS ROLLER SKATES.

And the original CHAMPIONS run ended with issue #17. Hercules, Ghost Rider, Black Widow, Angel, Iceman—what a team!
