Read more about Defensor (Marvel) at: Wikipedia Official Site: Marvel Marvel Super Hero Contest of Champions is a three-issue comic book limited series published from June to August 1982 by Marvel Comics. The series was written by Mark Gruenwald, with art by John Romita Jr. and Bob Layton. This series was significant as it was Marvel's first published limited series. Contest of Champions brought forth the idea of a major event affecting the Marvel Universe; it introduced crossover before the concept of multi-title crossovers was even conceived. An unrelated five issue limited series published in 1999, Contest of Champions II, is a sequel in title only. The story was intended to be a celebration of the 1980 Summer Olympics held in Moscow, and depicted Marvel superheroes engaging in competitions. The plan was scuttled when the United States refused to participate in the summer games, as a protest against the Soviet invasion of Afghanistan in late 1979. The comic was already mostly-complete, so Marvel published Contest of Champions two years later, with a reworked storyline that avoided any connection to the Olympics.
