Harv (villain); Luke (villain); Dolly (villain); unnamed henchmen of the Hate-Monger
December 24, 1968-- as a heavy blanket of snow envelopes New York City...
Fury heads home to his apartment and is surprised by Laura Brown, who tells him that she thought it would be nice to spend Christmas together. Their celebrations are interrupted by a transmission from The Hate-Monger, who plans to drop a "Germ Bomb" to wipe out the entire population of New York City and as a result, will turn the world leaders against each other, resulting in a nuclear holocaust that will purge Earth of all living beings. But thanks to a mysterious unidentified object, Fury manages to make it home in time to finish celebrating with Laura.

Part 2 of 3. Jasper Sitwell last seen in a SHIELD episode in STRANGE TALES #159 (August 1967). "Self-Orbiting Attack Craft" last seen in NICK FURY, AGENT OF SHIELD #2 (July 1968). 3rd Hate-Monger appears in this story; it's clearly not Adolph Hitler this time, as he has no moustache! Hate-Monger's scheme of germ-induced mass murder, provoking a nuclear war and a new population riding out the holocaust aboard a space station was mirrored to varying degrees in the plots of the 007 films THE SPY WHO LOVED ME (1977) and MOONRAKER (1979). To date, this is the only post-Steranko SHIELD story of the 1960's to ever be reprinted.
