Super-Villain Team-Up is an American comic book series published by Marvel Comics. It ran from August, 1975 to June, 1980, spanning a total of seventeen issues. The series is unique in that it takes established villains and places them in the role of spotlight characters. Many of the early stories feature the Sub-Mariner forced into a team-up with Doctor Doom, which is odd since the Sub-Mariner is classically treated as a super-hero despite his occasional compulsion to launch a war against humanity from time to time. These team-ups served to resolve leftover plotlines from the Sub-Mariner's own defunct series. The final issues of the title pits Doctor Doom against the Red Skull.
