==Immortus== Immortus then pulls out a series of historical challenges for the Avengers. Giant-Man fights the biblical Goliath (and beats him by shrinking himself down and sling-shotting him!), Iron Man defeats Merlin, and Thor fights Hercules. Cap is captured by Immortus and whisked off to the Tower of London. Immortus promises Cap that he can have Rick Jones if he fights his way through the guards. research on ancient Egypt, notices some hieroglyphs which appear to show some ancient Egyptians curing blindness with a radioactive potion. Curious about the existence of radioactivity in ancient times. (note: surgical means!) Ancient Egypt uncovers a Chopper!! the babe En Sabah Nur has grown to a strong young warrior. He still feared and despised by all but Baal, who has become like a father to him. Now that Nur has reached manhood, Baal takes him to the secret temple of Rama-Tut. The Pharaoh's grand vizier, Logos, has brought him word that Nur has reached adulthood. Rama refers to Nur as a "child of destiny" who "will become the most powerful being on the planet", and finds it unacceptable that the young prodigy's future be molded by Baal. He orders his warlord, Ozymandias, to lead all the armies of Egypt into the desert to find the boy. While a bloody clash ensues above, Baal and Nur penetrate the heart of Rama's secret temple and discover a mysterious high-tech globe. ===The Growing Man=== When they found it, it was doll size, but it has since grown to human dimensions. Although it appears to be some form of robot, it is warm to the touch. When one of the scientists gives it a good knock on the chest, it comes to life and strikes him. The cop starts blasting away with his pistol, but the only effect it has on the robot is that it starts growing to the extent that it can crash through the wall and pick up a nearby house. He doesn't seem to be interested in mindless destruction though, and keeps calling for his master asking why he has forsaken him and what task he can do for him. The Police get their butts saved by Kang who turns up and shrinks the robot back down to doll size. He explains that the robot was planted on earth in preparation for a long-term plan but that the museum expedition had set him off prematurely. The police try to bring in Kang and he starts to threaten them. "Keep your distance!! To me you are like anthropoid cave men." The stimuloid was supposed to be a hidden weapon, left tiny and inert in the past so he could activate it when his enemies least expected. Kang resets the Growing Man to doll size once more and retreats to his time machine. The Growing Man is one of Kang's most potent weapons turning up again in Avengers 69 and 268 and more recently Thunderbolts 5. ====Qin's Army, Terracotta==== The Terracotta Army, sometimes referred to as "Qin's Armies", Terracotta Warriors and Horses is a collection of 8,099 larger than life Chinese terra cotta figures of warriors and horses located near the Mausoleum of the First Qin Emperor. The figures vary in height according to their rank; the tallest being the Generals. The heights range is 6ft - 6ft 5in, or more than a full foot taller than the average soldier of the period. The figures were discovered near Xi'an, Shaanxi province, China. Construction of this mausoleum began in 246 BC and is believed to have taken 700,000 workers and craftsmen 38 years to complete. buried alongside great amounts of treasure and objects of craftsmanship, as well as a scale replica of the universe complete with gemmed ceilings representing the cosmos, and flowing mercury representing the great earthly bodies of water. Pearls were also placed on the ceilings in the tomb to represent the stars, planets, etc. The tomb of Qin Shi Huangdi is near an earthen pyramid 76 meters tall and nearly 350 square meters.
