He tells them a fantastic tale about a two-headed creature with the power of shape-shifting that has burrowed up from the core of the Earth.

Synopsis for "Muscle Man"

Reprint of the 5th story from
Strange Tales #48
Jimmy is envious of the muscles he sees at the beach when a strange character called Tooloo appears saying they are in "Noplace". Tooloo shows Jimmy that anything is possible if you put your mind to it by defeating the four muscled men Jimmy saw at the beach despite Tooloo's small lanky frame. After defeating the men Jimmy and Tooloo got custard cones and Tooloo revealed that he is Jimmy, a version created in Noplace and what happened on the beach was Jimmy wishing what would happen. That Tooloo is Jimmy's heart and mind. The two make their way to a park where Jimmy nods off on a bench. When Jimmy comes too he figures the whole thing was a dream, but when he gets home he notices some bruises where Tooloo had been elbowing him.

Ditko draws this story so that none of the people's faces are shown as the narrator relates the events. An alien craft is depicted over the city and descends. The radio warns people not to panic. A creature walks out of the ship, claims to be peaceful, and people assume it looks monstrous but others correctly realize that its merely wearing a spacesuit. The being removes its headgear and in the last panel it is revealed to be the first human on Mars surrounded by relieved Martians.
