History:
(Avengers
I#101) – Russian chess-master Yuri Sporadnik was
taken to a nearby hospital following a poisoning and was placed in the
care of
Doctor Willis and another surgeon. Thinking how famed Dr. Donald Blake
always
seemed to have a divine gift for diagnosing health problems, Doctor
Willis wished
he had a way to contact Dr. Blake. Just as Willis made the comment, Dr.
Don
Blake appeared at the operation room doorway (having known of
Sporadnik’s
health issues as Thor).
