With Spider-Man making another appearance in the Thanksgiving Day parade (among others like the Red Power Ranger), we here at ComicBook.com wanted to take a trip back in time to when Marvel actually had a float. That’s right, if you’re in your 20’s or younger you wont remember this, but there was one year where all your favorite of Earth’s Mightiest were featured in the flesh way before the idea of a Marvel Cinematic Universe was even a glimmer in the company’s eye.

Back in 1987, the float was supposed to tell a really strange story. From what we can tell it involves Doctor Strange, summoning Captain America (from a giant comic book) to help Wolverine against the tyrannical Doctor Doom. We also get cameos from some other heroes and villains as well.
Here’s a rundown of everyone involved:
- Doctor Strange
- Captain America
- Wolverine
- The Enchantress
- Magneto
- Dr. Doom
- Power Man
- Daredevil
- Silver Surfer
- Emma Frost
- Hulk
- Green Goblin
