Uncanny X-Men #6
"Sub-Mariner Joins the Evil Mutants"
Written by Stan Lee
Drawn by Jack Kirby
I always liked how Stan Lee handled characters like the Sub-Mariner, that type of tragic hero. Although at the same time, he keeps getting tricked by land-dwellers and he always has this sort of angry outburst when he catches on. It's always walking the line into being an almost Scooby Doo-esque "I woulda got away with it too..." but this book doesn't fall into that trap.
It goes on to further explore the differences between the X-Men and Brotherhood, when we see in the opening the X-Men playfully teasing and messing with each other but smiling and laughing. Meanwhile, the Brotherhood suffer in-fighting and one point Magneto almost kills both Mastermind and Scarlet Witch.
