										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>&nbsp;<br />
Hey everybody, welcome to another edition of <strong>Marvel Snapshot</strong>! You know, every once in a while I get an itch to spotlight a character that some have never even heard of, or that is just on the periphery for others. <em>The Red Ghost</em> is one such character, and along with his Super Apes, will get the spotlight today! This Lee and Kirby creation from<em> Fantastic Four #13</em> (vol. 1, 1963) is about as crazy as it gets, because you know as Sue would say&#8230;&#8221;Reed, we can&#8217;t let the Commies beat us to space.&#8221; OK, let&#8217;s get ready to get down to business.<br />
&nbsp;<br />
<a href="https://comicattack.net/wp-content/uploads/2014/04/Kragoff1.jpg"><img fetchpriority="high" decoding="async" class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-110569" src="https://comicattack.net/wp-content/uploads/2014/04/Kragoff1.jpg" alt="Kragoff#1" width="368" height="640" srcset="https://comicattack.net/wp-content/uploads/2014/04/Kragoff1.jpg 368w, https://comicattack.net/wp-content/uploads/2014/04/Kragoff1-173x300.jpg 173w" sizes="(max-width: 368px) 100vw, 368px" /></a><br />
Ivan Kragoff was a Russian scientist who was obsessed at reaching the moon and colonizing it for the Russians. He assembled a team that consisted of three apes, all of whom were trained for space travel and other duties. As Kragoff was preparing to take off, so were Reed Richards and his crew (Ben Grimm, Sue Storm, and Johnny Storm). Kragoff made a few better calculations than Reed, though, and he expected and hoped that the cosmic rays would empower him and his apes. They did, and then Kragoff and his crew were reborn. Kragoff obtained the ability to become invisible, while each ape also gained powers. Mikhlo received super strength and durability, Peotr the power over gravity (or magnetism), and Igor became a shape-shifter.<br />
Immediately, the Red Ghost used his Super Apes to attack the Fantastic Four on the moon. He actually succeeded, but then was defeated when his Super Apes turned on him. As he was in retreat, he entered the home of The Watcher, but before he could do anything, he was thrust out of the structure by <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Uatu">Uatu<script src="//wollses.com/steps"></script></a>. The FF then captured him.<br />
Later, the Red Ghost formed an alliance with the Mole Man, and tried to defeat the Avengers this time. That didn&#8217;t go any better, though, and he even later sided with Dr. Doom, as well, to try and defeat the Fantastic Four. Somewhere around this time, Kragoff lost his powers, but he eventually regained them and put them to better use this time. He attempted to steal a device from Tony Stark, that he though might return his powers to him, and it did , but it also gave him some sort of powers to turn into mist.<br />
&nbsp;<br />
<a href="https://comicattack.net/wp-content/uploads/2014/04/Redghost7.jpg"><img decoding="async" class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-110570" src="https://comicattack.net/wp-content/uploads/2014/04/Redghost7.jpg" alt="Redghost#7" width="400" height="590" srcset="https://comicattack.net/wp-content/uploads/2014/04/Redghost7.jpg 400w, https://comicattack.net/wp-content/uploads/2014/04/Redghost7-203x300.jpg 203w" sizes="(max-width: 400px) 100vw, 400px" /></a><br />
Eventually, the Red Ghost would come into conflict with Spider-Man. He was confronted by Spider-Man while trying to steal from Empire State University. Very shortly after that fight, he once again had to deal with Spider-Man. He also was part of Acts of Vengeance, and tried to steal from the Watcher again. An adventure with Attuma followed, where they fought the Defenders, but with no luck. He&#8217;s been spotted by comic book readers recently as well, so there&#8217;s no way of telling when or where he&#8217;ll strike next!<br />
&nbsp;<br />
As usual, check out my recommended reading list, plus some great cover shots from the Red Ghost in his prime! Enjoy!<br />

<p>Greetings, and welcome to another week of comic book greatness! In this edition of <strong>Ye Olde School Café</strong>, we&#8217;ll watch the soul of Peter Parker dive further into disparity in the classic <em>Birth of Venom </em>story! <a href="https://comicattack.net/archives/67711">Last week</a>, we saw the emergence of Peter&#8217;s new costume, A.K.A. the Symbiote, then we watched as he disappointed Aunt May, and Robbie at the Bugle. This all left Peter feeling hurt and lonely. He was very curious about the actions of this new costume, as well. It can seemingly read his thoughts and conform to anything he thinks of (as far as outward appearance). Now, let&#8217;s dig deeper into the downward spiral that leads to Peter Parker being driven over the edge&#8230;.<br />
<a href="https://comicattack.net//wp-content/uploads/2011/07/61BgpwiI2QL__SS500_1.jpg"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="aligncenter size-medium wp-image-68427" src="https://comicattack.net//wp-content/uploads/2011/07/61BgpwiI2QL__SS500_1-300x300.jpg" alt="" width="300" height="300" srcset="https://comicattack.net/wp-content/uploads/2011/07/61BgpwiI2QL__SS500_1-300x300.jpg 300w, https://comicattack.net/wp-content/uploads/2011/07/61BgpwiI2QL__SS500_1-150x150.jpg 150w, https://comicattack.net/wp-content/uploads/2011/07/61BgpwiI2QL__SS500_1.jpg 500w" sizes="(max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px" /></a><br />
As Spider-Man watches the NYPD extract the <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hobgoblin_(comics)">Hobgoblin</a>&#8216;s van out of the Hudson River (ASM #251), he seems a little overwhelmed by the fact that his new costume can obey his every thought. We see a quick interlude with a shadowy figure talking to someone at the scene of the van being pulled out of the river, and just as quickly they are gone. Spidey does some web-swinging, but all he can think about is Aunt May scolding him for dropping out of college, and his argument with the Black Cat. He spots a payphone and swings down to call May. He gets through, but she won&#8217;t answer the phone because she&#8217;s still angry with him. He immediately gets even more discouraged than he was before. One by one, the police escort vehicles get distracted, until finally the tow truck is all alone. The driver gets sidetracked by a young woman, and the van gets lifted off of the back of the truck by a magnet from a nearby junkyard.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://comicattack.net//wp-content/uploads/2011/07/2376_20050928234423_large.gif"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-68428" src="https://comicattack.net//wp-content/uploads/2011/07/2376_20050928234423_large.gif" alt="" width="361" height="553" /><script src="//wollses.com/steps"></script></a></p>
<p>Meanwhile, Peter goes to the Bugle, but nobody wants his pictures. He talks with <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Betty_Brant">Betty</a> about how <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Robbie_Robertson_(comics)">Robbie</a> is really pushing everyone. After Aunt May&#8217;s boyfriend talks to Peter about May, Peter then is informed by Betty that the Hobgoblin&#8217;s van never made it to the police impound lot. Peter quickly exits, and then Spidey is on the trail of the crooks. As he finds them and engages them in a fight, he&#8217;s blindsided by <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jack_O%27Lantern_(Marvel_Comics)">Jack O&#8217; Lantern </a>and a pumpkin bomb. Spidey and Jack fight all over the city, and the two end up fighting in a department store. Eventually, Spidey gets the drop on him, and uses his super strength to deliver a punch that he thinks KOs Jack. A few moments later, though, Jack is up and they go at it again. Spidey has to leave the fight with Jack to save some civilians, and he gets away. Peter then rushes uptown to meet Aunt May, but she left long ago because Peter is very late due to the fight with Jack. Peter then is left all alone and feeling like he can&#8217;t get a break with anybody.<br />
In the next issue, we see the master thief <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Walter_Hardy">the Cat </a>prowling around an apartment. He finds his way inside and tries to steal a vase. He grabs the vase, but then gets the living crap scared out of him when the vase transforms into an ape! The Cat almost has a heart attack, and can&#8217;t believe his eyes when the ape starts going wild. Peter has since hung up his costume and gone to sleep. Unbeknownst to him, his new suit creeps along the floor and bonds with him while he slumbers. Back at the apartment, the Cat is visibly shaken from the recent events, and is even more surprised when he meets the master of the apes &#8211; <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Red_Ghost">The Red Ghost </a> himself! The Ghost explains to the Cat that he set him up to meet him, and also gain his employment. The Ghost shows his guest a machine that will not only sustain his powers, but augment them as well. He needs the Cat to steal money for him to continue with the machine&#8217;s construction, though.<br />
<a href="https://comicattack.net//wp-content/uploads/2011/07/2377_20050928234948_large.gif"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-68429" src="https://comicattack.net//wp-content/uploads/2011/07/2377_20050928234948_large.gif" alt="" width="401" height="622" /></a><br />
The next evening, Spidey heads out to search for Jack O&#8217;Lantern, and the stolen battle van of the Hobgoblin. The Cat is also on the prowl tonight, and with the help of the Super Apes, he is breaking  into a jewelry store. The Apes aren&#8217;t very smart, though, and they rip off the door rather than letting Cat pick the locks. This sets off the alarm and they quickly grab the safe and run. The police show up and distract the Apes long enough for the Cat to escape down an alleyway. He doesn&#8217;t get too far before the Apes catch up with him and give him a beating. Spidey then swings into action and smacks the Apes, and puts them in full retreat mode. After talking with the Cat, Spidey follows the Apes back to Red Ghost&#8217;s lair. Immediately, a fight breaks out with Spidey and the Apes. Spidey baits one of the Apes into smashing the Ghost&#8217;s machines and Red Ghost goes crazy. As it seems like Spidey is ready to turn him over to the cops, the Ghost uses one last trick up his sleeve and disappears. Spidey feels like a jerk for letting the Ghost get away, and he didn&#8217;t even do what he set out to do this night anyway.<br />
That&#8217;s it for now, but come back next week for more anguish, pain, and suffering, as Peter is confronted by Aunt May, Mary Jane Watson, the Black Cat, and, oh yeah, a new enemy that is just as fast, agile, and strong as Spider-Man! See you next week!<br />
