The First Line takes on Nocturne, who is using an alchem-techno virus to alter the structure of the world, starting with his headquarters -- which are the top 8 floors of the Baxter Building.

Indexer Notes

The alien invasion story was originally told in Amazing Adult Fantasy (Marvel, 1961 series) titled "Why Don't They Believe Me?" by Stan Lee and Steve Ditko. It was also retold in Silver Surfer (Marvel, 1968 series) #3 as a "Tales of the Watcher" story by Stan Lee and Gene Colan.

Black Fox and Gadfly only appear in their civilian identities in this story.
