In Fantastic Four Annual 3, Dr. Doom sent a many supervillains to attack the wedding of Reed Richards and Sue Storm. Many heroes also attended the wedding. Three of these battles between foes at the wedding inspired plots for three later issues. Fantastic Four Annual 3 was published October 1965. It can be excused if none of the villains commented on having fought these heroes before since Reed wiped all the bad guys' minds, but the heroes should have remembered.
While traveling to the wedding Thor was attacked by the Super Skrull. Aside from their grappling later in a picture that featured many characters, their battle was not seen. However in Thor 142, Loki sent the Super Skrull to battle Thor. Strangely, Thor did not comment on having battled the Super Skrull before. Nor did Stan in a footnote. Thor 142 was published July 1967.

Towards the end of the battle, Iron Man easily defeats the Mad Thinker's Awesome Android. Just two months later in December 1965, Tales of Suspense 72, would have Iron Man battling the pair again. Upon sight, Tony Stark recognizes the Awesome Android, but he doesn't make any reference to their brief battle at the wedding.

In a speedster battle, Quicksilver quickly defeated the Human Top. Yet in Avengers 46, November 1967, Quicksilver does not make any reference to having fought the Human Top before. These two issues seemed to build up that the two mutants could have been arch-enemies but later writers have declined to pursue that line. Pity.
