In the short time since Bailey Briggs made his fantastical Marvel Comics debut as Spider-Boy, he has fought tirelessly to establish himself all over again as the hero everyone else in the world has forgotten he is. Luckily, he has more veteran heroes such as Spider-Man and Captain America to help him do just that. Better yet, Spider-Boy has finally been given the chance to follow in one of the grandest Marvel Comics traditions of all time by teaming up with a figure even more unbelievable than he is.”X-Mas Ex Machina” (by Dan Slott, Ty Templeton, Dee Cunniffe, and VC’s Joe Caramagna, from the pages of Spider-Boy #2) “Twas the Night Before Christmas” (by Dan Slott, Paco Medina, Erick Arciniega, and VC’s Joe Caramagna) drops readers into the heat of the action as Spider-Boy and Squirrel Girl take on the threat posed by an army of animated oversized Thanksgiving Day Parade balloons under the command of Emilio Helio, better known as the Balloon Man. When the heroes split up, Bailey is left wondering how he could possibly save the day by himself. Thankfully, Spider-Boy isn’t nearly as alone as it seems, especially when an otherwise unsuspecting man in a Santa Claus costume joins in the fight. As it turns out, the Kris Kringle whom Spider-Boy happens across is none other than the real deal, and their team-up is just the latest in a long line of astonishing appearances Santa has made over the course of nearly seven decades in the pages of Marvel Comics.Santa’s first appearance in Marvel Comics came all the way back in 1954’s Strange Tales #34 in the story “Moment of Glory” from artist Pete Tumlinson. In the tale, a former engineer turned lowly car attendant Sammy Glenn decides to steal away with a customer’s ride and clothes in a bid to take revenge on those who spurned him. Instead, Sammy discovers his old enemies doing even worse than himself before unwittingly stumbling into a new life of fortune and romance. In the end, this drastic change of course is implied to have been planned all along by the owner of the vehicle, the one and only Santa Claus, whose well-timed stop took place on Christmas Day. Like many other one-off entries from Strange Tales and similar titles of the era, the impact of “Moment of Glory” on any grander scale was non-existent at the time of its publication, whereas the modern Marvel Universe can look back at the story as one that set an important precedent for just what Santa Claus is capable of.
