From Ancient Asgard he comes, The Prince of that Realm, an immortal warrior whose heritage is tied both to the realm eternal as well as Earth itself ! He stands for honor and is a divine force for good in the eternal struggle . His Strength of arm is second to none and it swings the mystic hammer Mjolnir for all that is just and right ! He is The Mighty THOR, God of Thunder ! And all the forces of the storm are his to command!
Splash Page : Thor is standing, leaning against a wall, obviously for support. Above him floating
in the air, hands crossed on his chest is the Scarlet garbed Lord Nefaria
Narrator : Quick recap dept., last ish Thor battled the Juggernaut and through sheer
determination alone, defeated his gargantuan adversary. When at the moment of his victory the
architect of his recent troubles raised his head and was seen for the first time ! Lord Nefaria, half
brother of one of the Avengers greatest foes, the late Count Nefaria !
Nefaria : " I want to thank you Thor, without your help, none of this would 've been possible."
Page 2
Thor : " What do you speak of villain ? ( I must keep him speaking, with every passing minute
my strength returns.)
Nefaria : "I speak of the constant battles I've put you through this past week*. What else would I
be speaking of ?"
*Thor's 508-510
Thor : "And what exactly did the God of Thunder "make Possible" for thee?"
Nefaria : "Ah I see you truly do not comprehend what has happened here do you? "
Thor locks his steely gaze onto Nefarias' , but says nothing.
Nefaria : " I have been siphoning the powers and abilities from your recent foes after and during
your various battles with them. I now have the strength of the Juggernaut, the Abomination, the
durability and power of the Rhino as well as the Electrical manipulation powers of Electro and
the Vibratory power of the Shocker, albeit that is through my uniforms unique shock units, but
the power itself comes from ME !"
Page 3
Thor : "And what of Hammer and Anvil ? What did you steal from them ? "
Nefaria : ""Steal" is such a harsh word , don't you think? I now have their ability to absorb
energy. As they did through their conduit, I can now do through my costume. In truth I am now
unbeatable."
Thor : "No man nor God is unbeatable braggart."
Nefaria : " I am Thunderer."
Thor : "Bah. Do you know how many times I have heard that before ? Your own brother spoke
those same words."
Nefaria : "Do NOT compare me to my brother !"
With that he leaps at Thor , anger flashing in his eyes
Page 4&5 two page spread
Nefaria punches Thor with a powerful right, throwing his entire body into the blow
Ba-Koom !
Nefaria : " NEVER speak of that fool before me again in what little time you have left among
the living !"
Page 6
Thor flies through the air, landing hard a block away
Thor : ( Odins beard ! The power behind his blow ! In all my recent battles, never have I felt the
like ! If I did not roll with the blow he wouldst have snapped my neck in one punch !)
Nefaria flies through the air, Thor his target.
Nefaria : "Fight back Godling ! I want to test your mettle . You'll be the first to fall, then your
Avenger comrades will follow."
Thor spins Mjolnir as he gets to his feet
Thor : " I will not be the one to fall this day rash one, twill be thee !"
Thor hurls Mjolnir at his foe, the hammer smashing him in the face
KA-POW !
Page 7
Thor : ( Verily, I must keep up the pressure, he battles me with all the powers of my recent foes,
and in truth, this combination may make him unstoppable )
Thor grabs Mjolnir as it returns to his waiting hand , once there he fires off a blast of lightning at
Lord Nefaria
Shhrra-Kow!
Nefaria : " UUNNNNGGGH ! F-Fool! Did I not tell you I can absorb energy now ? Absorb it and
use it to power my shock units !"
Page 8
Nefaria fires shock bolts at Thor, as the Thunder God was flying through the air at his enemy
VVVRRRRUUUMM!!
Thor : " Unnmmf ! " ( He has blasted me through the air, altering my course of flight !)
Thor flies , out of control , into a building , and out the other side !
Nefaria : "You are not making this very sporting my friend. Perhaps I'll up the anty a bit ? Maybe
I'll destroy a few occupied office buildings . Would that help to clear your head and bring you to
greater action ?"
Thor extricates himself from the wreckage , shakily.
Thor : "Do thy worst braggart, the God of Thunder awaits thee ."
Nefaria : "So be it !"
Page 9
Nefaria flies into Thor again, only this time Thor is ready. Thor drops down and to the left,
letting Nefaria sail overhead, as he does he hammers his foe across the back with a mighty swing
of Mjolnir
Ta-KOOOMM!
Thor : (He has no battle experience, while his power is indeed greater then mine, he is
undisciplined.)
Nefaria : "AAARRGGGHH!"
Thor : "Feel my wrath thou foul villain ! The Thunder God awaits thy doom!"
Nefaria : " NO ! NO , you will be "DOOMED", not me ! I am power incarnate, and an Earthborn
God."
Thor : "Thou art no "God" ! Thou fancies thyself something thou couldst never attain."
Nefaria : "NO ! I will shred you and prove to the world I am a God, and your destroyer !"
Page 10
Nefaria fires electrical blasts at Thor
Shaaharaak !
Thor : "Arrrh!"
Cut to the Plaza Hotel, and the suites of the Enchantress
Amora the enchantress watches Thors battle on the local newscast
Tv reporter : "This is Tara Lynn for the I 4 NY news, reporting from the I 4 NY chopper. Thor is
in battle with an unknown assailant, who has exhibited various and powerful abilities. At the
moment the Thunder God seems to be holding his own, but just so."
Amora : ( Thor ! What is happening here ? Do I dare go to thy aid after our recent falling out ? I
can see you are hard pressed here, and yet thou did make thy anger at me obvious*. What should
I do ?)
*See 509
page 11
Then, on the TV Amora sees Thor grabbed by the face by Nefaria and rammed face first into the
pavement
Amora : "By the All Father !"
With a weave of her hands the Enchantress disappears, only to reappear a nanosecond later at
Thors side , hands glowing with arcane energies.
Amora : "Back you fiend ! Leave the Thunder God ! Or face the wrath of the Enchantress!"
She fires off a spell, that blasts Nefaria off his feet, then she follows it up with another, the rings
of raggador, which bind his form.
Nefaria : " You foolish woman ! This will not hold me ! I am unstoppable and unbeatable!"
Amora : "Those rings are unbreakable you pompous mortal. None can tear them asunder."
Page 12
Nefaria : "Wrong ---woman---I---can ---and ---WILL !!"
Traaa-VOOOM!
With a tremendous explosion of power Nefaria sunders the entrapment spell
Amora : ( Holding Thors barely conscious form )" By Odin ! The power ! Ne'er have I seen those
bonds broken ! Ne'er!"
Nefaria ( With a smile dripping venom) : " Well my dear, there is a first time for everything, as
you now can see!"
Thor : "Amora, get thee away from here ! His power is to great for thee. Thor will yet conquer
this vile foe."
Amora : "No Thor, thou canst barely stand. You must hie thee away from here to recover thy
strength."
Thor : "Nay woman, Thor will ne'er run from battle, do you hear NE'ER !"
Thor throws Mjolnir at his enemy , again knocking him flying
ka-KOW!
Page 13
Thor hurls himself at Nefaria as his hammer returns to his hand in mid leap
Thor : "Have at thee madman ! Know that Thor does not battle thee with impunity, this is battle
most serious ! "
Nefaria : "You will learn of serious , oh yes you will, I am the new age Thor ! Feel my fury !"
Nefaria throws blasts of electricity at Thor.
Thor : "S-so be I-it fiend !"
Thor counters with lightning from Mjolnir,
Bra-Boom !
Both foes stand locked , firing blast after blast of power at each other.
Amora : "You must flee this battle till a later time Thor ! You have been in battle almost
non-stop ! Run ! Finish this mortal later, when thou art rested !"
Page 14
Thor : "Thor does not flee woman ! He battles on ! Now and fore'ermore !"
Thor concentrates all his power behind every blast as he counters Nefarias sizzling beams of
energy.
Nefaria : "I give --you credit --- Thunder --God . Even--dead on --your --feet you ---continue
to---fight !"
Thor : "That evil one is because Thor is a warrior born !"
Amora : "Thou art a pig headed fool Thor ! This will be thy death yet !"
She runs to his side and ads her mystic might to his blasts from Mjolnir
Page 15
Nefaria : "So --you join your boyfriend woman ? To-bad. I would've made you one of my
concubines in the new order of things !"
Amora looks stunned and more than a little insulted as she narrows her eyes and presses onward
SHHHOOOOMMM!!
Cut to the news chopper again
Reporter : "This is Tara Lynn with I 4 NY news once again, the battle between Thor and the man
who was overheard calling himself " Lord Nefaria " rages on. Police have cordoned off a six
square block area around the combatants as the call has gone out for the Avengers and the
Fantastic Four , but none of those heroes can be found *as of yet."
*See Avengers #411 for a lowdown on the Assembles current problems with Ultron and FF#425
for that groups battles in the Negative zone !
Pilot : "Hey Tara, cut the feed a minute, I don't like the way this guy is looking at us."
Tara : "This is Tara Lynn with I 4 NY , we'll be back with an update momentarily."
Pilot : "I'm gettin' us outta here Tara."
The Pilot banks the helicopter and begins accelerating away from the area
Page 16
Nefaria stands locked in combat with Thor and the Enchantress when suddenly he flies skyward
towards the copter.
Thor : "Ods blood ! What does he do now ?"
Thor rockets after the villain, but Nefaria gets to the helicopter first. He grasps its tail end.
Nefaria : "Save them Thor, if you can ! "
Nefaria spins the helicopter by the tail out toward the river in one mighty heave !
Thor : "You madman ! NO !"
Thor races after the tumbling copter, as it begins to break up into a deadly hail of shrapnel
Page 17
Thor flies underneath the crippled copter, grabbing its fuselage and steadying it as he lowers it
safely to the water
Pilot : "We're okay Thor, go get that bum !"
Thor : "Verily my friend, tis exactly as I intend to do !"
Thor flies upward looking around for his enemy
Thor : ( Where is the miscreant ? He is hidden from me at the moment. I must )--"NO Unhand
her you verminous dog !"
Thor sees Nefaria Holding Amora by the throat, her eyes plead with Thor to rescue her.
Page 18
Nefaria : "Take not one more step in my direction Thor. This is turning into more fun then I
realized it would be! You will bring us all to Asgard and you will make me an immortal."
Thor : " I remember your foul brother making similar demands Nefaria, like him you will learn
thy aspirations at God hood are indeed foolish and not possible for one of thy ilk."
Nefaria fires a blast of electro-shock power at Thor, who braces himself and deflects it with a
whirling Mjolnir.
Nefaria : " I am one who stands above you Thor, not below! My power will humble you, starting
now! The time for games is over !"
He hurls Amora away from him savagely
Thor : "NO!"
Page 19
Thor races skyward as the Enchantress tumbles to the ground hard, her Asgardian form crashing
through a parked car, decimating it.
Thor : "Amora ! Amora !"
Like a man possessed Thor shreds the wrecked car, pulling the Enchantresses body from the
wreckage. Holding her limp form the Thunder God looks up at a slowly descending Nefaria,
pain and anger etched on Thors face.
Thor : "We agree on one thing mortal scum , the time for games is over. Now in truth you fight
an angered God. Prepare to meet thy maker villain. Now you will feel TRUE battle."
Cut to Asgard , the great hall of Odin in the palace royale. Odins trusted aid the Vizier runs into
the great hall
Vizier : "My Lord ! Please hear me !"
Odin : "What is it my trusted friend and confidant ? What could ail thee to make thee as upset as
this?"
Page 20
Vizier : "Tis thy son my lord ?"
Odin : "Thor ? What of him ?"
Vizier : "He is in battle with a mortal whose power seems to rival thine own !"
Odin : "What ? What sayest thou Vizier, and be quick about it !"
Vizier : "Thor hath encountered this villain after a long and sustained fight with one called the
Juggernaut. After he narrowly defeated this mortal the enemy called"Lord Nefaria" appeared and
attacked the weakened thunder God."
Odin : (Concern etching his features)"And is my son alive vizier?"
Vizier: "Aye my Lord, he battles on 'gainst odds most overwhelming."
Page 21
Odin : "How fares he then Vizier ? "
Vizier : "Not well my Lord, he is giving ground to yon powerful mortal as we speak, and the
Enchantress..."
Odin: "The Enchantress? What of her ? "
Vizier: " I fear she may be dead already my Lord. The mortal hurled her through a parked steel
conveyance. When Thor freed her she was unmoving and hath lain that way hence."
Odin : "This madness ends now."
The Lord Of Asgard waves his hand and Thor and Amora appear before him
Thor : "What? Father, what have you done ? This villain is mayhap the most dangerous I have
ever fought ! His power dwarfs my own and he battles without honor, seemingly as would a
spoiled child! I must return to protect Manhattan Island at once !"
Page 22
Odin : "I say thee nay Thor , not until thy power is replenished, as can only be done quickly by
the Odin force."
Odin stands and clasps his sons shoulders, imparting his strength, his power, his very life force
into the stunned Thunder God.
Thor : "My father , NO What have you done ?"
Odin slumps into his throne
Odin : "I have given thee the means to defeat this villain my son. But thou wilt need one other
thing to do so."
Thor : "Aye my father, I know."
Thor whirls Mjolnir , opening an interdimensional gateway to a pocket dimension where he
reaches into and withdraws a simple leathern sack.
Page 23
Odin : "Yes my Son , I see we think alike."
Thor ( Working off panel ) : "Aye my father, like father like son as the mortals say."
Thor whirls, he is wearing his mighty battle armor
Thor : " Now tis time to take the battle back to the evil one. Thank you my father, my liege. Thy
gift of power will not be squandered."
Odin: " As I did expect my son, but know ye this, my power I have imparted to thee will bear up
thine own depleted reserves. The will to beat this nigh unbeatable foe must come from thee
alone !"
Page 24
Thor : "As I did already expect my Liege. I take my leave of thee now, but first..."
Thor walks over to the unconscious form of the Enchantress and kisses her forehead gently.
Thor : "My father, please. Take care of the fair Amora. She hath thrown herself into my defense
and as such became injured in the battle."
Odin : "She will receive the best of care good Thor, on that you have the word of Odin."
Thor bows once and then whirls his mighty hammer above his head.
Thor : "Mighty Mjolnir, take me to my foe most foul, tis time for a reckoning ! So swears Thor ,
God Of Thunder !"
Page 25
With a roar of energy the re-invigorated thunder God vanishes from the court of Asgard...to
reappear instantly in mid-town manhattan, where the police have been joined by the National
Guard as they all fire weapons both exotic to mundane at the advancing Nefaria.
Thor : "Hold good warriors, this is the Odinsons battle, and his battle alone ! Stand ye back !"
Nefaria : "Ah, returned for more tutoring in the world of pain foolish Godling ? Let me give you
another lesson then !"
Thor : "No Nefaria, Tis Thors turn to teach . Class is now in session !"
Thor slams Lord Nefaria with a devastating right handed blow with Mjolnir
Ba-Kow!
Then continues the assault with a powerful left at the stunned villains face
BOOM!
Page 26
Thor : "Feel the fury of the righteous wrath of Thor braggart. Thy time of villainy is at an end."
Thor delivers a double handed blow with Mjolnir atop Nefarias head, smashing him through the
pavement.
Nefaria : "AHHHGGGHH!! I-I do not know how you became so empowered by just adding a suit
of armor Thor, but I will not be denied !"
Nefaria blasts Thor again with his electrical beams, , but this time Thor is ready, he absorbs it
back into Mjolnir and fires it back, redoubled at his enemy
Sha-koom!
page 27
Nefaria is tossed through the sky and into the South Street sea port area, tumbling haphazardly
Toom!
Nefaria : ( Where did his strength increase from ? How did he become so powerful ? He appears
to be my equal now! How is such a thing possible!)
Thor flies down from on high, blasting at Nefaria with bolts of Asgardian energy as he does.
Thor : "You will surrender now villain ! Thor commands thee !"
Nefaria : "NEVER ! The day is not lost to you yet Thunderer."
Page 28
Thor: " So be it Nefaria ! I will bring thee down now, and thou wilt KNOW the power of the
Gods !"
Nefaria : "We shall see Thor !"
Nefaria suddenly fires shock blasts from his arms at the overhead el-train and collapses it as a
train hurtles towards them.
Nefaria : "Choose now fool, save them, or try and capture me."
With that he throws himself skyward, to the north.
Thor : " The thrice cursed madman, he cares not for any life, save his own!"
Page 29
Thor flies upwards , spinning Mjolnir as a helicopter, he grabs the front of the racing train and
with a heave of legendary proportions, pulls the train over the shattered section of track, to the
other side. As one the passengers either faint, or cheer him as he thunders away after Nefaria.
Thor : ( He flies fast and far now, I see his diminishing form ahead of me. Verily the fiend doth
leave the city behind and continues north.)
Thor flies after his escaping foe, ever north, until
Thor : "Niagara falls ! The villain again seeks our battle to be in public amid innocents."
Page 30
Nefaria : " Come towards me barbarian God. I will teach you of power."
Thor : "I see your confidence has returned Nefaria. Good . I will break it yet again."
Nefaria : " You are welcome to try ."
Thor rockets towards Nefaria as the villain fires an electrical barrage at him.
Sha-raaak!
Thor: " I will do more then try evil one, I will succeed!"
Ba-droomm!
Thor slams into Nefaria, sending the two into the falls themselves !
Page 31
Cut to...The man known only as the Assistant, as he stares intently into a pool of water in the
executive lounge of the building Nefaria purchased some time ago.*
*See Thor #504-505
Assistant : (So I see "Lord" Nefaria battles on against the blunderer Thor. I would have thought
Thor would be defeated and on his way to Valhalla on a shield at this point. I sense Odins hand
in this)
The Assistant leaves the pool area and moves through double doors and out into a hallway where
several employees move stolen merchandise and money from the Armored car robberies.
Assistant : ( I do believe it is time to take my leave of this operation and be on my way )
Suddenly the assistant drops to the ground like a puppet whose strings were cut and up from his
body, unseen by all eyes , rises Loki, God of mischief!
Page 32
Loki: (T'was childs play to coerce that fool Nefaria into battle with my hated brother Thor. After
I manipulated time and space to plant the winning Lottery numbers in his vile little hands, it took
little else to lead the fool around by his nose as it were. Now no matter who wins this battle,
Loki will still have had his pleasure, seeing either my accursed Brothers destruction at long last
or the idiot Nefarias . Ah well tis good to be the God of Mischief)
"Bwahahahahahahahahahahaha!"
Page 33
The Falls explode outward as Thor is flung from the them by Lord Nefaria
Thor : " Unnggh!" (Ods blood ! Even with my belt of strength which in truth effectively doubles
my vast strength as well as my Gauntlets of power and Odins borrowed Odinforce, still does the
villain hard press me.)
Nefaria rockets out of the falls as would a bullet from a gun, slamming into Thor
Ba-Koom!
Thor : "OOOOFF!"
Nefaria: "I'm still here Asgardian, all your flamboyant speech and still you cannot stop Lord
Nefaria, soon to be Lord of the world! "
Thor says nothing but hammers his enemy backwards with a backhanded blow via Mjolnir
KRAK!
Page 34
Thor fires off a blast of energy at Nefaria as he tumbles out of control towards the tour boat at
the base of the falls.
Brroooom!
He shatters the bow of the boat, which immediately begins to sink. People scream as Thor flies
to the rescue
Thor: (Reckless fool ! I almost caused these peoples deaths in my rash attack on the vainglorious
Nefaria)
Thor lifts the front of the boat out of the water and begins towing it to shore when ......
Brak-kow!
Nefaria drops from the sky like a rock atop Thor
Page 35
Nefaria : "Ha ! You care for these fools like they were children , or pets ! I see that now. With
the power we wield, how else could you look at mortal man ?"
Thor kicks Nefaria away, sending him a hundred feet into the air.
Thoom!
Thor : ( I must needs be save these people from this monster ! He sees himself as being above
them as would a man above an insect, verily he be insane !)
Nefaria : "Idiot Godling ! You are my prey now !"
Nefaria returns like a missile, bearing down on Thor quickly, but the Thunder God is ready.
Page 36
Thor spins Mjolnir in front of him, opening an inter-dimensional portal in front of the power
mad Nefaria, unable to stop , Nefaria flies into the opening vortex and disappears from sight.
Thor : "I must save the people on the boat first, then take care of Nefaria once and for all, but I
fear where I sent him will be enough to keep him busy for the moment."
Thor grabs the boat and continues to tow it to the shoreline, making certain everyone is safe
before hurling Mjolnir skyward once again.
Thor : ( Now tis time to end Nefarias menace once and for all, but where I did send him in truth
he might thank me for coming back for him.)
Thor whirls Mjolnir and opens a dimensional portal, then leaps through following his enemy.
page 37
cut to deep space where the Shiar star cruiser T'Kau leaps from a warp hole and settles into orbit
around a familiar Star we know as Sol, or for the uninformed, our Sun.
The Bridge :Captain K'ruuk stands watching his viewer , hands clasped behind his back while
the small bridge crew diligently works in silence.
K'ruuk : "Charuk, where is Gladiator ? I'd like him to return to the bridge before he undergoes his
mission."
Charuk : "As you command my Captain , Will be done. "
Minutes later Gladiator enters, head held high grasping his flowing cloak at the corners.
K'Ruuk : "I will get to the point quickly Gladiator, I feel this is a mistake on yours and the
Imperial Guards part to try and take this Thor into custody. This backwater world is beneath the
imperiums notice at present and to attack one of its heroes without gathering all the facts is
foolhardy at best."
Gladiator stares down at the Captain, who to his credit returns the icy gaze with the same, if not
more sheer presence.
Page 38
Gladiator : " Your opinion as well as your displeasure is noted, but as leader of the Imperial
Guard my decision on all matters off ship is final as I am the fist of the Imperium itself."
K'Ruuk : "Yes, you are though I fear one day you will meet a far bigger fist and learn the lesson
of your rash attitude."
Gladiator: "Beware Captain K'Ruuk, your words smack of treason."
K'Ruuk looks away, his anger palpable as he gazes in the direction of Earth
K'Ruuk : "You go and do what you feel you must Praetor Gladiator. But do remember, the only
proof you have that Thor was involved in this is the delusional hysteria of Tana Nile, the sole
survivor of her homeworld. As such you know that any other colonizer ships are still days away
from contacting us. I still humbly suggest you await word from them before attacking a world
that has driven off Galactus several times in its recent past."
Gladiator : "I will not be attacking this world K'Ruuk, but I will be taking Thor into custody to
face charges. If he is guilty as charged he will learn the folly of attacking a world that is
considered a friend of the Imperium . If he is innocent, well I'm sure that his actions will prove
so."
Page 39
K'Ruuk : "You have my respect Gladiator, but at times you are a thick headed fool."
Gladiator : "And you K'Ruuk, though a fine Captain, still need to learn the ways of policing the
realm."
K'Ruuk : "We are not in the realm ."
Gladiator spins and leaves the bridge, returning to his quarters to prepare himself for his mission
K'Ruuk :( Loudly so all his crew hears) : "The arrogant fool."
Several decks below Gladiators head snaps up at the words from K'Ruuk, his hearing picking up
every sound. He smiles to himself.
Page 40
Thor exits from his portal , barely avoiding being hit by a flying Frost Giant !
Thor: "Odins Beard !" ( I see the rebellious Giants have kept Nefaria busy whilst I rescued the
passengers from the destroyed boat.)
Thor looks down and sees frost giant bodies everywhere as Nefaria continues to pound his way
through the gigantic frozen creatures.
Nefaria : "I see you have decided to join us Thor. Good. I will kill you last then, after I have
finished with these cannon fodder."
He smashes a frost giant across its face while he floats in mid-air before it
Da-Boom!
Thor : "There will be no more of this Nefaria. We end our battle here, in a land of warriors and
verily , only one of us will emerge !"
Page 41
Thor whirls Mjolnir below him, creating a cyclone that engulfs Nefaria and slams him bodily
through the very icy cliffs
Tra- bboom!
Nefaria : "Unngh !"
Thor hurtles towards Nefaria when suddenly he sees...
Thor : "Sif ! And the Warriors Three ! Odin had said they were in this region of Asgard*, I had in
truth forgotten!"
*See Thor #508
Thors friends lay unconscious, victims of Nefarias power before Thor had arrived.
Thor : (I must end this now.)
Boom!
Nefaria exits the mountain with a roar !
Nefaria : "I have had enough of you Thunder God ! I agree, let us end this now!"
Page 42
Thor : "Aye madman, let us finish the fight !"
The two adversaries fly towards each other , at incredible speeds , and then they meet.
Explosively !
Badada-THOOM!
Cut to the Great hall in the Royal palace of Asgard
Odin :" Vizier ! What be the meaning of this quake ! What transpires here!"
Vizier: "I know not my Lord, but the disturbance seems to be from the land of the frost giants !"
Page 43
Odin : "What ? Show me Vizier, immediately! "
The Vizier conjures and a scene of war appears as Thor delivers blow after crushing blow
against Nefaria
Odin : "By my Sword ! Thor is mere steps from a warriors madness ! His foe is most powerful
indeed!"
Back to Thor
Thor : " Fall demon! Fall 'neath my pounding hammer !"
Thor pounds Nefaria with a power and rage beyond description ! His strength shakes the
surrounding mountains of ice as blow after high impact blow rains on Nefaria like meteors from
the heavens !
Nefaria : "Y-you surprise me Thor your rage is unexpected, but the brutality is more so."
Thor : "NO! IT IS JUST SELDOM CALLED UPON DOG!"
Thor delivers a crushing blow with Mjolnir to the side of Nefarias head, then follows it up with a
powerful left.
Tha-KOOOM!
Nefaria is thrown back , out of control
page 44
Nefaria throws both hands forward and unleashes his full and total power at Thor as wave after
wave of a combination electrical/shockwave pound at Thor
Varroooww!
Nefaria : "Get back you insane fool ! Back I say ! I will still win the day. I am Nefaria ! I am
supreme !"
Thor suddenly rockets skyward above Nefaria and then down upon him with a crushing blast
from Mjolnir
Thra-vooom!
Thor : "RAAARRR! Welcome to Godhood mortal ! Learn now how the divine and immortal do
battle ! Feel the fury thou couldst not e'en imagine cur ! FEEL THE WRATH OF THOR !"
Page 45
Thor: "GERRRAAAAAAAAGGHHHH!!!
Giant one panel page of Thor delivering an incredible blow with Mjolnir across Nefarias face
that levels the villain
page 46
Nefaria is slammed through and out of several mountains of ice, until he finally comes to
rest, his body smoking from friction and no longer moving
Thor descends from the sky, flying as would a comet.
Thor : "Die dog ! I will anow administer the killing blow you craven animal RAARRGH !!"
Mjolnir glows with power as Thor begins to spin his hammer 'round his head
Suddenly a powerful hand grips Thors arm before he can deliver the death blow
.
Odin : "No my son, thou wilt desist, the enemy is defeated. Stand down my son."
Page 47
Thor turns and sees his father, his eyes suddenly flashing recognition.
Thor : "Father ! I-I "
Odin : " No words are necessary my son, now hold as Odin retrieves his power from thy form. In
time this power will be thine, but not today."
Odin draws wave upon wave of energy and strength from Thor, back to his own immortal form.
Odin: "Tis done."
Thor : "My father, my head clears, I remember the battle and .....Nefaria ! Did I ...Kill him ?"
Odin beams his pride
Odin: "No you did not .Come my son, we have much to do here with thy vanquished foe."
Page 48
Time passes...it is now several days later and Thor is back on Earth . He is in a medical facility
With him is Dr. Keith Kincaid.
Thor : "Dr. Kincaid, is the patient safe ? "
Kincaid : "Yes Thor, he's been ranting for hours since he came out of the sedatives. Ranting as a
madman . The poor man."
Thor: "He hath reaped what had sown my friend. Tis justice done most fair if thou asketh me."
Both men look into a small room , through a one way glass, there in the center of The room
ranting as one insane is the now powerless former Lord Nefaria.
Nefaria : "I am a God ! Bow before me ! I am the master of all I see! I am Lord Nefaria ! Do you
hear ? Lord Nefaria , master of the world !"
Thor turns and leaves, saying goodbye to his friend as he speeds to meet another .
Racing through the sky he lands behind the building we all have seen before many times.
Page 49
From the front of the building a flash of lightning is seen and a moment later a business suit
attired Sigurd Jarlson enters the building. In the lobby a new name adorns the main desk it is the
name of Warhammer construction ! And its symbol is a stylized Mjolnir hammering a gigantic
nail into a building, lightning bolts spraying from the point of impact. Awaiting Sigurd at the
main desk is a nattily attired Jerry Sapristi.
Sigurd : " Hello Jerry ! Is everything going well ?"
Jerry : " As well as can be expected with out the guest of honor. "
Sig : "The we will have to change that won't we ?"
Both men , smiling enter the elevator and move to a lower floor, there they depart and walk to a
double door room. Each grab a door handle , and smiling throw the doors open to an opulent
party, and the future !
