7: Namor --or-- The desperate hour
This issue's opening interview isn't a flashback, and it's spread throughout the comic. Apparently after the end of last issue Namor surrendered himself to the custody of Anthem/Henry Hellrung, and now Hellrung is trying to find out what the Sub-Mariner actually wants. Henry agrees to take the batteries out of his recorder so that the 'chat' will be off the record.The discussion starts with reviewing Namor's origin. Anthem says Namor was the son of a love affair between an Atlantean princess and a surface sea captain named McKenzie. Her father sent Atlantean soldiers to drag her back to the ocean. Namor says this is lies:- McKenzie raped his mother and she was rescued by the Atlanteans. The usual flashbacks within the interview show that Hellrung's version is correct.Sub-Mariner repeats what he said last issue that the surface dwellers have repeatedly attacked Atlantis, and now it is a ruin (thanks to Iron Man and SHIELD in the Sub-Mariner: Revolution mini-series). Last issue Namor raised a tidal wave that is suspended over San Francisco. Subby expects to be arrested as a terrorist but put himself in the care of the Order because he doesn't want to give SHIELD and Iron Man the kudos. He's willing to submit to someone else, for instance Susan Richards of the Fantastic Four.Meanwhile the other available members of the Order (Calamity, Heavy and Veda) are helping with the evacuation of the city in case the tsunami unfreezes. But the mob gets predicatably ugly.Henry continues his review by mentioning that Sub-Mariner has a habit of attacking the surface world. We see an example of another tidal wave and a fight with the original Human Torch in WWII. But then he also fought alongside HT and Captain America in that war.Namor insists that his actions make him a hero to his own people. Hellrung insists that a hero wouldn't threaten a city with a tsunami. Subby counters that in the past that kind of thing has been the only way to get America's attention. (We see a flashback to him teaming up with Dr Doom against the FF.)Namor finally comes clean about his agenda. He belives that he will be a more powerful symbol to unite the Atlanteans as a martyr imprisoned by the US Government than he is as the leader of a broken nation without any hope.Now it's Hellrung's turn to come clean. As Anthem he controls lightning. But this involves controling electricity, which he can also do on a small scale. So the recorder has been running even without batteries. He threatens to make that last part public - how Namor doesn't really believe his people have any hope of restoring their nation.Prince Namor dissolves the water wall and is taken into custody by the FF. When asked by a reporter he credits Henry Hellrung with brokering the deal - the Order saved California. Anthem hadn't asked him to do that, but Pepper Potts is glad of the publicity for the team. And she thinks he deserves the credit.

10: Pepper --or-- Into the black
The opening interview this time isn't a flashback, it's Tony Stark grilling Pepper Potts over what went wrong with the Order's mission. She recaps how they tracked SHADOW to their base near the Salton Sea and then she lost contact with them. She and Kate Kildare contacted Stark and SHIELD last issue.When Iron Man and SHIELD got there they discovered that the team had lost their artificial superpowers to an EMP. This had killed Heavy/Dennis Murray (last issue). SHIELD rounded up the broken SHADOW Softly robots, Cut/Wendy of the Black Dahlias (the other Dahlias are dead), Infernal Man and Maul. But Ezekiel Stane and Mulholland Black were missing.Since then SHIELD has been trying to handle something that has happened to Los Angeles because of Holly. And the remaining unpowered Order members have sneaked off the SHIELD Helicarrier in a shuttle. Now read on.The team go back to their Bradbury Building HQ where James Wu gets fitted with normal prosthetic legs of the Oscar Pistorius type. Milo Fields' repaired paraplegia, cured when he merged with Becky Ryan to form Hybrid, was apparently not undone by the EMP. Everyone agrees to go find Mulholland.She's in a car driven by Stane. Her out-of-control amplified powers are driving Angelenos insane, and the city has erupted in riots and flames. Zeke also has at least 1 of the Gen'l Softly robots out stirring up discord between Angeleno factions (they listen to him because he's an authority figure!). His mad scheme is still to give Tony Stark a problem too big to fix.Zeke takes Holly to the Watts Towers and carries her up to the top of the tallest 1. (He claims along the way that her original mutant power hasn't returned as she thought. Instead Stane super-boosted her artificial Order power.) Then he leaves her there to get on with his life while she fuels Los Angeles' craziness until she burns out.The Order are on their way, heading for the worst of the chaos, expecting that's where Holly will be. But they stop to save a pregnant mother from a mob. And only just escape with their own lives. (Mullholland is apparently automatically shielding them from her brain emissions.)Then they arrive at the Watts Towers, wreathed in energy discharges. Henry Hellrung leaps from the shuttlecar to the platform where they see Holly. He almost doesn't make it, but Holly stirs from her pain to save him.Henry tries to calm and comfort her as Holly begs him to make the agony stop. Then he shields her from the view of the other Order members in the shuttle. And I guess he breaks her neck.In the morning the city is calm as Iron Man and SHIELD restore order. The unknown Ezekiel Stane steps out of a crowd and pretends to be a fan of the Golden Avenger. But under his breath he mutters that his vengeance (for the suicide of his father Obadiah) isn't over.2 days later Tony interviews Pepper again. She accepts the offer to come work for him again. He says he's going to turn the Order into 1 of the ordinary Initiative superteams, with existing super-people rather than creating them witrh artificial powers. But he agrees to leave Henry and Kate in charge.Then Stark talks to Hellrung, but this time he offers the team their artificial powers back. Henry accepts for them, but on the condition that they be allowed to hunt down Stane. But Tony says that there is no trace of Ezekiel Stane's existence - he's living off the grid.

3: James --or-- The wind of Mount Rokko
This issue's surrounding flashback is James Wa's interview. Pepper Potts is doing the interviewing again. His dad was a successful baseball player in Japan, and moved to the US so his son could have a better chance at following in his footsteps. James loved baseball too, and was good at it in High School, mainly because of his speed. (He doesn't want to talk about where his nickname Calamity came from, but it may have involved him being too rash and trying for 1 base too far.) But he also wanted to be an engineer, and studied Engineering at college, at the same time competing successfully in athletics.But when drunken truck driver Carl Crenshaw smashed into his car, that ended Wa's sports career when it took his legs. But he went on to design the Calamity brand of Cheetah prosthetics, which he uses himself and which made him a millionaire.Later flashbacks to the interview establish that James doesn't know where Crenshaw is, but that he'd very much like to find him.Now cyborg zombies have invaded LA. Pepper has sent Anthem, Aralune, Calamity and Mulholland to deal with it. She's kept Supernaut and Veda out of it to see how the  smaller team cope. (And Heavy is off injured.)Anthem fries a lot of zombies with a lightning bolt, but shatters a lot of windows in the process. Mulholland is only using her hammer to hit zombies, and avoiding using her power to charge it up. James calls her on it, and she responds by ramming the hammer handle into his stomach. But this just makes Calamity go berserk, racing around bashing zombies with a makeshift weapon. Until Aralune changes into a gelatinous blob and envelops him. But the damage is done and there are no zombies left 'alive' for study.Back at base Mulholland Black gets revenge on James Wa by reminding him how he froze when ordered to kill to save LA last issue. But their argument is broken up by the return of 2nd-in-command (in the field) Heavy, mostly recovered from being shot in the face last time. Dennis Murray orders Mulholland to go see Pepper, and James to see Anthem.Henry Hellrung takes Wa to task about not following the plan out there. And he either deliberately let Mulholland hit him, or her ability to nail a very-fast moving target is much greater than they realised. James admits that last issue's mission has got to him. Henry says it would have been a dilemma for anyone, but tells Wa to shape up.Pepper Potts is asking Mullholland Black 1 of the same questions - did she mean to hit Calamity, and if so how did she do it? Pepper thinks she subconsciously used her powers. Holly expects to be kicked off the team, but Pepper just wants her to learn how to better control them consciously. To that end she gives Holly a task.They go down to the morgue to see the body of Avona, 1 of the those who were fired in #1. Her body was found last issue. Avona's power was a psychic link to her sword, and somehow she kept the sword after she was depowered and thrown off the base. And she appears to have been killed by/with it. Potts wants Black to use her own power of tapping into the psychic energy of places and objects - to find out how Avona died.Meanwhile James is visiting Milo Fields. Milo has a neural network that he uses to control his Supernaut armour. But now he's using it to surf the Stark info system to find out more about the agents who took away the Infernal Man in #1, who seem to work for some agency call SHADOW. Wa is very interested in the capabilities of the Stark system, but his musing is cut short by another zombie invasion.Meanwhile (again) Hellrung is hosting a meeting with city councillors who want the team to quit the historic Bradbury Building before they wreck it. This despite the fact that Tony Stark now owns the place, and it's been reinforced to Avengers standards. But he has to halt the meeting because of multiple oubreaks of zobos, including some of them just outside the Bradbury HQ. Calamity escorts the councillors to a secure basement.The cyborg zombies are called zobos because it seems someone is creating them from hobos. (I think they're also killing them 1st, hence zombies. But these zombies aren't infectious, though they do seem to want to bite.)Pepper wants the whole team scrambled this time, except Mulholland who's continuing her 'autopsy', but Anthem gives Calamity the day off clear his head. Supernaut goes to Culver City, Heavy and Veda to Century City, and Anthem and Aralune handle the zobos on the doorstep.But Pepper sees Calamity accessing the computer system at super-speed. And then we see him outside Crenshaw's stationary caravan (or travel trailer to you Americans) with a baseball bat.

2: Becky --or-- teenager of the year
We start and finish with a flashback to Becky Ryan's interview to train for a possible place in The Order. Pepper Potts is the interviewer. Team leader and ex-TV actor Henry Hellrung recommended her. Becky describes her life, accompanied by other flashbacks showing the reality.Becky is a pop star with a horde of female teen/pre-teen fans. Her father had her in 'show business' from an early age - Ms Texas at 8 years old. A flashback shows her unhappy, but as she says it led to greater things including a platinum album by 13. She emphasises a wholesome view of her work, and brushes over the blatant sexuality a flashback reveals. She denies being exploited and insists that she was in charge of her career. Pepper notices her toying with a cookie but not eating any, and questions her commitment to a size zero figure. We see Becky with (presumably) dieting drugs and vomitting into a toilet.Becky gets very defensive and accuses Pepper of making fun of her. But Pepper replies that she thinks Becky's life has always been controlled by others. Now she's offering her a chance to be whatever she wants to be, and to let her fans admire her for heroism rather than a model figure and a glitzy life. But Becky's response is that what she wants is to not let anybody down. And she asks if that was the right answer.Now she's leaping into a fight as Aralune, punching a Russian bear with a jetpack. The rest of the team figure they'd better join in against the other foes. Armoured Heavy hits a metal golem(?) while even-more-armoured Supernaut takes on a Crimson Dynamo. Team leader Anthem trades blasts with a bald gnome, Speedster Calamity buffets a bearded giant and Veda sends her own golems against an armoured female.Young Mulholland Black panics and doesn't know what to do. Combat coach Heavy suggests a simple earthquake will suffice. She uses her psychkinetic link to LA to draw on the power of the 1994 Northridge earthquake and directs it through her mallet (though we don't actually see it doing anything). Meanwhile equally-young Becky has transformed into a monster who takes the bear down with a Hulk-like handclap. (Yes, she's a shape-shifter and can now become anything she wants.)The armoured Russian woman is decimating Veda's golems, so Calamity rushes forward and throws her out to sea.Monitoring the situation from base, Pepper has looked up their foes in a Stark database. They are cold war warriors, the 1st version of the Soviet Super-Soldiers. Alongside an early Crimson Dynamo she identifies the little bald 1 as Gargoyle and the big hairy 1 as Mongu (who's actually a robot with a normal(?) man inside). And SHIELD info says they're nuclear-powered, so maybe the team should stop hitting them.The data (or just Pepper's theory) says that they've been asleep for decades to be activated by nuclear war. And yesterday's fight against Infernal Man has woken them up.Now we have a different flashback. 6 weeks ago Henry and Pepper persuaded Kate Kildare to become The Order's PR person. We learn that she helped Henry rebuild his reputation after his drinking got him sacked from his TV show. They are worried that the public will hate them, in the post-Stamford New Warriors disaster climate. Kate is more worried that they'll just be ignored.Now Kate is holding a press conference about the sacking of 4 members last issue for bringing the team's name into disrepute, and their replacement by Aralune, Mulholland, Supernaut and Veda. A reporter is worried about the fact that the sacked 4 got drunk - couldn't they have done some damage in that state? Kate assures him that their artificial powers were designed to switch off under the influence of substance abuse. Another reporter asks what will happen to the sacked 4. But then Kate and the reporters get alerted to the current battle.But we cut to a subway car where the sacked Avona is lying in a pool of blood. The AI in her sword is reporting it's lost its psychic link to her.Back at the battle Gargoyle blasts Heavy in the face. The rest of The Order form a defensive ring around him. Except Calamity who races off across the ocean to a destination given him by Pepper - Drenkov Island. This is what the US government assumed was just an abandoned Soviet listening post. But it's where the cold warriors came from.Pepper has discovered that 1 of the attacking Russians is a walking A-Bomb remote-controlled from the island. The state-of-play text page at the start of next issue will say that they are all robots controlled by the 5 Russians Calamity finds in suspended animation in a tankful of chemicals. They are running the show in their sleep. Pepper tells him to unplug their life-support.James Wa freezes, unable to kill the 'Nukeonauts' in cold blood. So Pepper sends Supernaut rocketing to join him. Meanwhile the Crimson Dynamo suit opens to reveal the nuclear bomb inside, which glows and emits a warning siren.Supernaut arrives at the island and tells James to go. Ex-soldier Milo Fields knows the enemy are soldiers too, and will have accepted the risk of being killed. Grateful Calamity leaves and Supernaut orders the sleeping Russians to cease or be destroyed.The bomb is still about to go off. Aralune changes form again to a giant jellyfish and surrounds the Crimson Dynamo suit. The bomb explodes but she contains it (an atom bomb!). Then Becky Ryan reverts to human and collapses. Supernaut returns to see if his action saved the day. Only to find that it was Becky instead.Later Henry checks in on Becky. He's worried that it was actually an attempted suicide rather than a heroic act. Her psych tests had indicated that she was sick of her previous life. But it seems that she really did want a chance to do some good with her life.Kate is having a drink after another press conference explaining how the Teenager of the Year just saved Los Angeles from an atomic bomb. She's approached by Chester Chez with advanced warning of a news item that will break the next morning. It's a video of a topless Rebecca Ryan.

5: Kate --or-- Getting things done
This issue's flashback interview is with the team's PR woman Kate Kildare, interviewed by Pepper Potts. She's pushy and abrasive, but plays down her brilliance. Henry Hellrung recommended her for the job. They dated when he was a TV star, but he was too busy being a playboy to take it further. When he was fired for being an alcoholic she helped him professionally to get his life back on track.Top of Kate's to-do list now is to deal with the sex-tape that an ex-boyfriend of Becky Ryan is threatening to sell.In San Bernardino County a tortoise gets angry when a car nearly hits it. It sheds its shell and turns into a monster which trashes the car. Mullholland and Supernaut are sent to investigate. Milo Fields doesn't want to believe the report of a giant lizard, but Mulholland Black mentions a Hopi legend of underground lizard people. And Supernaut's only other explanation is that the car spontaneously fell apart.Meanwhile Tony Stark takes Henry Hellrung to view a potential new HQ for the Order, since the City Council is evicting them from the Bradbury Building. Henry doesn't like the Demeter because it's too far out in Hollywood Hills. But Tony buys the place anyway.In #2 the body of ex-member Avona was discovered. Last issue Holly used her psychic power to learn that the other fired members had something to do with her death. Calamity and Veda are now waiting to meet 1 of them Corona/Carlos Carvalho outside his home in Boyle Heights. Corona is late so Calamity breaks in to his apartment to find him held prisoner and being tortured by a gang of 5 super-powered females called the Black Dahlias. Each of them has a tattoo symbolising this.Their leader, a swordswoman  labelled Cut, tells bruiser Diesel to deal with James Wa. She throws him out through the wall. Cut's sword is intelligent (like Avona's was), and it identifies Calamity and Veda of the Order. Cut orders an attack.Back at the Bradbury Kate tells Hera/Pepper Potts she's found a solution to the Becky Ryan problem, but it won't be exactly legal. She's heard that Becky's father lied about her age to get her into beauty/talent competitions she wasn't eligible for. She's 1 year younger than claimed, so the sex tape was illegal when it was made. Kate doesn't care that this information will also ruin Becky's exploitative father. Hera reluctantly gives her OK before returning to managing the Black Dahlia situation.Calamity is being chased by the Dahlia's own speedster. But Drang also has a kinetokinesis ability which allows her to mentally hurl a barrage of small objects at Wa's retreating back, bringing him down. Carrie is attacking Veda's golems with electricity and Cut is chopping away at them when Maggie sees another Dahlia Lisa aiming a pistol at James. But Hera has called in reinforcements from the desert. Supernaut blocks the path of the bullet and Mulholland launches an attack with her energy mallet.But Holly and Cut recognise each other. And the shock makes Mullholland abort her attck and crash to the ground. The Dahlia's gather round Drang who gives them a high-speed exit.Documentary evidence about Aralune's age is given to the media. Becky is unhappy about what this means for her father and her career. Kildare says she'll have to relinquish some of her titles, but her career in the Order and in showbiz will survive - much better than if the sex tape had been publicly aired. It is now illegal to show it.Supernaut prepares to take the wounded Calamity back to base. Veda shouts at Mulholland for screwing up again. But Holly reveals a Black Dahlia tattoo on her breast - she used to be a member of that gang.

6: Milo --or-- Heavy metal
In this issue's flashback interview we learn the backstory of Supernaut/Milo Fields. He was an army Sgt who survived being captured in the Somali civil war, which the rest of his troop didn't. The Pentagon made out that he was rescued by a daring raid, and a book and movie were based on that story. But the truth was that the Somalis just never got round to killing him before they left. Afterwards Milo protested about the distortion of the truth and how it was being used to inspire recruits. But he was shot in the back by someone during 1 of his protests, paralysing his legs. But the Order gives him the Supernaut suit to work in.Now Supernaut returns to the California desert to continue investigating reports of giant monsters. This time he's accompanied by Aralune because Mulholland is in trouble over last issue. They are facing probably the giant turtle from last issue plus a large lizard and scorpion. Aralune has become a giant moth and is attacking the lizard (probably attempting a remake of Mothra vs Godzilla). Milo scrags the turtle, and then teams up with Becky Ryan to pull the lizard apart. Both deaths release a green goo.Then Fields notices a sign which says they are on a test range run by SHADOW, the organisation that seems to be behind every foe they face. And an electric blast from the ground shorts out the Supernaut armour and turns Aralune into a protoplasmic blob. The giant scorpion attacks the frozen armour, so Milo opens the front and shoots at it with a pair of handguns.In the Order's Bradbury Building HQ Pepper Potts, Henry Hellrung and Kate Kidare are grilling Mulholland Black. Last issue she failed to attack girl-gang the Black Dahlias who had just murdered ex-Order member Corona (and may have previously killed Avona). Holly explained that she used to be a member of that gang. Now her bosses want a fuller explanation.She says they took her in when she was living on the streets. We see their names:- Lisa and Carrie we know from last issue, now Cut is Wendy, Diesel is Rae-Ann and Drang is Marie. They used to be vigilantes against pimps who preyed on runaways. Holly was in a relationship with leader Wendy, but she slept with Lisa and got thrown out.Now true to form she's defiant with the Order bosses which doesn't help her case.Henry rings Tony Stark to arrange to fire her, but Tony just wants to talk about their prospective new HQ the Demeter. He's been smoothing things over with their new neighbours, a private pre-school for movie folk's kids. He's done a deal with award-winning director Jerome Jacob to produce a film to star ex-actor Henry. And the profits will fund a Stark Media Studies Center in the school.Hellrung isn't happy about any of this. Pepper sympathises with him, after long experience of dealing with Stark.Back in the desert Milo Fields has dragged himself out of the Supernaut armour and is trying to get to Aralune, who is gradually returning to human form. But the scorpion isn't dead, and grabs his paralysed legs in its pincers. But Milo can't feel a thing down there, and calmly smashes its head in with a rock. Then he reaches Becky Ryan and starts dragging her to shelter.It tuns out that the Dahlias are also working for SHADOW's mysterious representative. Cut meets him in a bar with photographic evidence that they killed Corona. He pays her with 5 phials of drugs plus a special 1.Later we see him arrive at the scene of the desert monster battle. SHADOW troops there refer to him as Gen'l Softly. He orders them to search for the Order heroes and kill them. Milo and still-unconscious Becky are hiding in a nearby cave.Holly is off the team and looking for cheap gin in a booze shop when Drang comes up behind her and injects her with the 6th drug. It is SPIN which removes superpowers.Meanwhile Heavy is investigating a (truly) unconnected matter, 7 very heavy devices along San Francisco's beach. He's accompanied by Sadie Sinclair Mayor of SF, who suggests a deal if the team will relocate from Los Angeles. Suddenly the machine starts blinking, and a tidal wave rears up and somehow hangs suspended over the city.Dennis Murray calls for backup, and gets Pepper Potts, Anthem/Henry Hellrung and Calamity. A figure walks through the wall of water - it's Prince Namor the Sub-Mariner. He complains that Atlantis has been destroyed and its population scattered. The surface world defines them as a terrorist state, but now he's fighting back. The wall of water separates the US from the Pacific to keep his people safe. Any act of aggression will garner a disproportionate response. He ends with "Take me to your leader".And in the desert Milo and Becky are stalked by strange wolves.

4: Magdalena --or-- Nine doves
This issue's interview flashback is with Magdalena Marie Neuntauben, although she abandoned the surname early in her career. Pepper Potts did the interview again. Maggie did a report on Korea in Elementary School and gained a lifelong interest in martial arts and orphans. Later her looks took her from tae kwon do championships to modelling and acting, and then to action movies where she could do her own stunts. She funnels the big bucks she makes into a charity that creates orphanages, and teaches the kids martial arts. The continuation of the interview at the end of the issue reveals that Maggie can't have children of her own because of a childhood illness.Now in Century City she and Heavy are fighting zobos. Armoured Heavy just hits them, while Veda sends her army of golems against them. Heavy thinks there are a lot more than there were last issue in Rodeo Drive. Supernaut in Culver City says there are exactly twice as many there as in last issue's incident. Anthem confirms that's what he and Aralune are seeing outside their Bradbury Building HQ. Veda sees through all her golems' eyes to get the same count of 150 bodies.The teams are struggling to 'kill' that many of the cyborged dead. But SHIELD arrive to help. And then it's all over bar the cleanup. Henry Hellrung lets the visiting LA councilors out of the secure basement. But the surrounding mess makes them even more adamant that the team must vacate the historic Bradbury Building by the end of the week (despite the fact that Tony Stark owns it).Meanwhile in the morgue Mullholland Black has been investigating the body of ex team member Avona (fired in #1). She uses the removed heart as a psychic link and talk's to Avona's 'ghost'.Pepper Potts holds a senior staff meeting with field leader Hellrung (Anthem), tactician Dennis Murray (Heavy) and PR person Kate Kildare. Dennis thinks the zobo attacks are probes designed to test the Order's capabilities. Pepper is worried about Calamity (James Wa) going off-grid on the 'day off' Henry gave him last issue - Dennis says Milo Fields (Supernaut) has an idea about that. Hellrung reports the eviction threat. Kate says she's managed to suppress Becky Ryan (Aralune)'s teenage sex tape for now - but it's bound to surface some time. Holly pops in to inform them that Avona says she was killed by 1 of the other team members who were fired in #1.The Man From SHADOW (see #1) locates 1 of those ex-members Jamal Peoples (Maul) in a bar and hires him - offering him revenge against the Order.Tony Stark contacts Hellrung to check up on what's happening. Henry asks him how he runs the Avengers. Stark says he just points them in the right direction and prays.A SHIELD examination of the zobos, mostly inanimate but at least 1 still 'alive', confirms that they were actually dead but their cybernetic enhancements were running them, with orders received by cellular radio. Identification of some of the bodies has also confirmed that they were homeless. The source of transmissions has been traced to an area which includes the Mercy Mission on Skid Row.The outbreaks this issue and last occurred at the same time of day, so they expect some hours before the next 1. Anthem takes time out to track down Calamity to the trailer park where Carl Crenshaw lives. (Presumably talking with Milo and examining computer records revealed that James had searched the Stark database for the whereabouts of the man who had crippled him.) Henry expects the worst, but finds the 2 men playing computer games. He asks Wa to return to the team because they need him.Later Anthem and Veda approach the Mission. They find it deserted but full of operating tables. Speedster Calamity confirms there's no-one about. Hellrung calls in SHIELD again. But he also finds evidence of the involvement of the Man from SHADOW (which only appears to be his shades!). Magdalena buys the Mission so she can return it to being a proper homeless shelter.

1: Henry --or-- the next right thing
Henry Hellrung gives an interview. He talks about his long-running role as Tony Stark/Iron Man on TV. How he and the real Tony were drinking/womanising buddies until alcohol dependence ended his acting career. After rehab he became a spokesman for Alcoholics Anonymous. We also see he was there when Tony joined AA.Now The Order are in Los Angeles tackling an unknown fiery villain they dub Infernal Man. Henry is Anthem, and like the others he can fly. Pepper Potts coordinates them with telepresence enhancements via satellite link under the codename Hera. Calamity is superfast. Strongman Heavy is also trainer and tactician. Bannerman Brown and Green are androids provided by Tony Stark. Pierce is an archer and Avona is a swordswoman. Maul has an energy mallet and is an engineer. Corona channels solar power. They also use the names of Greek gods to indicate the their roles.The fire-villain melts Bannerman Brown and then Bannerman Green, and no-one can stop him until Corona risks death in a combined 'nova'. Afterwards the others have to restrain Avona's anger, until Calamity removes her sword. It turns out Corona is OK but his equipment is trashed.Suddenly armoured government troops take charge, led by a man in black who refers to the villain as Project 717. They cart Infernal Man away. Tony Stark smooths this over in a later press conference with Pepper and Henry by claiming that the team willingly handed the villain over to the military.Someone asks if Ares minds the names of his family/pantheon being used. We see him being content with the royalties. They also question the use of celebrities as California's Initiative team, but Pepper says they've been training for a year. They also wonder if Hellrung is the right man for the job, but Stark vouches for him.Maul wants to go celebrate their victory but Calamity reminds them that they're not supposed to get drunk in public. Avona, Corona, Maul and Pierce go partying while Calamity and Heavy stay home. Now-teetotal leader Anthem isn't asked.Henry, Pepper and Tony wake the next morning to a slew of news reports on the gang out clubbing. Pepper and Tony agree they have to be fired because they violated their signed contracts. They are exactly the kind of irresponsible superheroes that the Civil War and the 50-State Initiative were/are against.Henry does the firing, backed by Pepper. Avona, Corona, Maul and Pierce are sent to the Stark Center for decommissioning. 4 others are picked out of a pool of recruits in training:- Mulholland Black, Milo Fields, Rebecca Ryan and Magdalena Marie. They are sent to the Center to get evolved.The superpowers The Order have are artificially induced by a genetic upgrade that will only last a year (and presumably can be cancelled anytime).

9: Dennis --or-- Bad moon rising
The last of the flashback interviews is between Henry Hellrung and Dennis Murray, his paralysed body in an iron lung. Murray was a career military man (which destroyed his marriage) in the Navy, preferring never to be promoted above Warrant Officer. He was severely injured in an explosion onshore which left him in the state he is in now. (Reading between the lines, as the Marvel Chronology Project does, the incident was the 1 which led to Tony Stark's capture and the creation of Iron Man.) Hellrung offered him a place in the Order, in an armour within which he would live in a special fluid that would keep him alive. He would get his mobility back, plus some superpowers. Dennis metaphorically jumped at the chance.Now Anthem/Henry and Hera/Pepper Potts assemble the team to go get Mullholland Black back from the villains who have been attacking them throughout this series. Heavy/Dennis is going to be in charge, and run it like a military mission.He wants to bench Milo Fields because his Supernaut armour was wrecked in #6. But Milo and shape-changer Becky Ryan want to go in their new join form which they call Hybrid. Anthem is worried that they aren't trained in that form, but Heavy has changed his mind. He knows what they achieved together last issue, and he figures the team'll need all the firepower they can muster.They fly to the suspected enemy base at the Salton Sea, a saline lake that was accidentally created in California. But the SHADOW enemy has its hands full at the moment with a re-powered Mullholland Black who has escaped from her cage.Holly confronts Wendy, the leader of the Black Dahlias and her old lover. But Wendy is grieving for her gang who all died last issue during Black's escape. She grabs the guns from the body of Lisa and starts shooting at Holly. And Maul wacks her with the giant mallet they each wielded in their Order personas. (But presumably depowered Maul can't imbue it with energy.)But super-energised Mulholland makes the mallet fly out of his hands, and loop round to hit Infernal Man in the back of the head. Then she grabs it and charges it up, and KO's Maul with it. Wendy/Cut's bullets can't hurt her. But the big boss Ezekiel Stane arrives and shoots her in the back with blasts (probably artificial) from his hands.Meanwhile the rest of the Order are fighting the Sam Softly robots. Anthem fries a lot with lightning bolts. Heavy, Hybrid and Veda's golems wade through them. And Calamity races around speed-punching them. Then the team enter the building. And back at the Bradbury Building HQ Pepper and Kate Kildare lose contact with them. They decide to call in Tony Stark and SHIELD.The Order are fighting yet more Softly's when Cut and the revived Infernal Man and Maul join in.Meanwhile Stane has Holly strapped down with a power conduit attached to her head. Zeke goes into the usual mad scientist rant. He explains that the Dahlias got their powers from drugs he gave them, but he was in the process of boosting their powers to higher levels last issue when Mulholland's restored power killed them. He's now going to use Holly's amplified power of connecting to the 'subconscious' of Los Angeles in order to drive the inhabitants mad.His reason for wanting to do this is to show how useless the Order is. And by extension what a failure Tony Stark is, the man who caused his father Obadiah Stane to commit suicide.Zeke throws a huge mad scientist switch, and Holly erupts with energy.The Order fight their way into a room that the enemy forces are defending, expecting it to lead them to Mulholland Black. But Ezekiel Stane has expected this. He waits until Cut, Infernal Man and Maul follow them in, and then seals the room. Which rapidly descends 500 feet into a vibranium bunker.Zeke apperars on a screen to tell them what's going on. He's going to set off an Electromagnetic Pulse which will wipe out their artificial powers. Even those of his minions. He igores Anthem's protest that removing Heavy's power will kill him.The bomb goes off. And Heavy falls to the ground. Without his power the fluid in his lungs will kill him. Anthem takes off his helmet, but there's nothing anyone can do. Dennis Murray dies.

The Sin Unpardonable
Once again, Thor Odinson escapes from
his cell aboard the Collector's ship, struggling to reach the
enchanted hammer of his ultimate counterpart. Once again, he broods
over his unworthiness, imagining Odin and Gorr the God Butcher
taunting him. Once again he is recaptured and chained in his cell....
In his cell, he makes the acquaintance
of his neighbor, Loki's Hel-hound Thori, also a possession of the
Collector. Thor bursts his bonds once more and tries to escape his
cell, when Beta Ray Bill, having escaped his own cell and recovered
his hammer Stormbreaker, takes down the guards. Bill frees Thor and
mentions the other hammer he spied and Thor's mind is overcome by
jealousy and he flies into a berserker rage, seeing Bill as a rival
and wanting the hammer all to himself....
A mystery ship docks with the
Collector's ship and the visitors kill the crewmen who come to
inspect it. They are Thanos' agents Black Swan and  Proxima Midnight
with the mysterious cloaked figure who requested a boon of the
conqueror. They follow the trail of the hammer and come upon the
Odinson and Beta Ray Bill fighting over Stormbreaker; Proxima tries
to seize the hammer but the cloaked figure stops her (while trying to
shield his identity from Thor) and leads them to their real quarry.
They confront the Collector who is brooding over the unreachable
prize. A fight breaks out, finished quickly by the hammer itself,
driving all back from it, awaiting the coming of Thor Odinson....
And in the prison area, Bill, the goat,
and the Hel-hound join Thor who is determined to claim the hammer, no
matter what....

The Whisper
The Unseen, formerly Nick Fury, regrets
having made Thor unworthy with a whisper but now it is time for
change....
Thor has laid his hand on the hammer of
Ultimate Thor and the power flows through him and he is reminded of
his power as the Mighty Thor...but he also realizes that this is not
his hammer so he takes his hand off it. He draws lightning power from
the hammer and blasts Black Swan and Proxima Midnight out into space
and away. The Collector also covets the hammer but Thor refuses to go
back into his cage. In fact, Hel-Hound Thori has release all of the
Collector's captives; Thor tells the Collector that he is taking back
his home and tosses the villain off the battlements. Thor and Beta
Ray Bill depart in Old Asgard. The frustrated Collector wants to kill
something “unique and beautiful;” the guard reveals that
everything is gone but himself. “Then you'll do.”
In the Black Quadrant, Black Swan and
Proxima Midnight report their failure to Thanos. The mysterious
hooded figure destroys them and stands revealed as Hela, Goddess of
Death. She asks Thanos for his help in retaking her kingdom from
Angela, and offers him in return what he most wants in the heavens:
death. They kiss....
With Old Asgard back in its place, Thor
relates to Bill how he could not lift the hammer as it wasn't his to
wield. Instead he reveals what Nick Fury whispered to him that
rendered him unworthy: “Gorr was right.” Gorr the God-Butcher was
right in his claim that all gods are unworthy of the worship their
followers paid them. Bill tells him he does not need a hammer to
fight as a hero....
Epilogue: A mysterious figure arrives
in Asgard and lifts the hammer, calling himself the War Thor....

The Thief of Asgard
Odinson (the unworthy Thor) and Beta
Ray Bill have met at the site of the missing Asgard. Bill offers Thor
his hammer to replace Mjolnir but Thor declines. They are then
attacked by drone planes dispatched by the mysterious being who stole
Asgard. When it seems as though they are winning the battle, the
villain detonates a nine million-year-old bomb from his collection
and Thor is clobbered....
Thor dreams that he is being crushed
under the weight of Mjolnir; a multitude of hammers fall from the
sky, pounding Odinson into a massive crater. The face of  Gorr, the
God Butcher, appears, taunting him with the thought that the gods are
useless....
Thor awakens to find himself a captor
of the Collector who takes him to the stolen Asgard. However, it is
not Asgard that the Collector covets but the hammer of the Ultimate
Thor which is there. The problem is, none of the Collector's minions
can lift the hammer without being destroyed by lightning from the
hammer. The Collector therefore wants the Odinson to reveal the
secret to lifting the hammer. But this Thor doesn't know. The
Collector brings out the last surviving Dauterian and threaten to
have him killed if Thor does not come through. Suddenly the power of
the hammer fills the room and as Thor is about to take the hammer,
Collector shoots him and orders his men to chain him up with the body
of the dead Dauterian....
Epilogue: A cloaked figure enters the
Triskelion and approaches an imprisoned villain. The mystery man
needs the prisoner's help but can only offer him a tribute. The
prisoner is revealed to be Thanos, who has a tribute in mind....

The Hammer from Heaven
Every day, Odinson (the original Thor)
escapes the bonds of his alien captors and fights for freedom, trying
to reach Ultimate Thor's hammer; every day he is overwhelmed by
greater numbers and returned to captivity....
Three months earlier: Thor is informed
by Alpha Flight of vandalism to satellites orbiting Earth. A picture
was taken of a battle axe on the moon. Unable to fly he rides the
goat Toothgnasher there where he confront trolls led by Ulik. Beaten
by his longtime foe, Thor watches as his goat rams the villain while
he wields the axe Jarnbjorn to fight the trolls. They bury Odinson
alive and depart for Nornkeep in their flying ship; the hero digs
himself out and broods over the loss of Mjolnir. The Unseen
(successor to the Watcher) appears to him, telling him there is
another hammer, directing him to Old Asgard. Odinson dashes there by
goat to find the entire realm gone. He meets Beta Ray Bill who tells
him he knows where Asgard has been taken. But first, in place of
Odinson's missing hammer, Bill offers him his own....

War of the Unworthy
A young Thor was seen to be obsessed
with being worthy to pick up Mjolnir, with his mother Freyja
counseling him to look within rather than without for true godhood.
Now Thor, and his allies Beta Ray Bill,
hel-hound Thori, and the goat Toothgnasher are aboard the Collector's
ship fighting Thanos'  agents Black Swan and  Proxima Midnight (and
the Collector himself) for possession of Ultimate Thor's hammer.
While this goes on, Thor recalls past experiences with the hammer and
worthiness....
Many years ago he confided in Jane
Foster that each time he must pick up the hammer he fears that this
time he may not be worthy....
More recently, having lost Mjolnir, he
refused to listen when the seriously ill Jane tried to convince him
he didn't need a hammer to be  a man....
Finally, he mounts Toothgnasher, sends
Thori ahead of him and, his mind full of the whispered words that
rendered him unworthy, he redeems himself in his own mind by finally
laying a hand on the desired hammer....
The Unseen approves....

Day of Judgment
International news reports that Magneto
is believed to be in Singapore. The Avengers arrive to talk to Mr
Ronalds, head of an international law enforcement unit, to learn that
the Soviet Super-Soldiers have returned to their homeland and the
X-Men have been taken into protective custody. Informed that Magneto
has been sighted, Ronalds refuses to share the info with the Avengers
whom he considers to have failed in their mission....
The feds are getting into position to
arrest Mags in the marketplace but a tourist recognizes him and
panics. The agents open fire on Mags who gathers all of their bullets
into a big ball and throws it at them. Mags is then approached by a
trio of mutants (Slider who can control friction, Crawler who can
climb walls, and Leiko who can recognize other mutants) and helped to
escape the agents. He is brought to the Galleria, a haven for mutants
and hailed as their hero. The leader, Light, wants to support Magneto
in his battle against mankind, a battle which he had rejected. The
place is raided by soldiers and Mags uses a wave of magnetic force to
stun them. The mutants head for another secret base....
The X-Men, held in an armored car,
become impatient with waiting for the authorities to formally arrest
them, so Rogue breaks out and carries the car away....
The mutants have decamped to another
base, this one in a docked ship; there, Magneto modifies his familiar
helmet with circuitry recovered from his asteroid, giving him
enhanced mental powers. When the Avengers confront the X-Men, Magneto
uses his new powers to paralyze the heroes and spirit away the X-Men
and Captain America. At the ship, Mags explains that he can use his
new powers to remove all traces of anti-mutant prejudice from
people's brains and asks Cap his opinion; Cap believes everyone
should be free to make up their own minds and advises him to destroy
the helmet. Mags uses it to wipe all anti-mutant bigotry from Cap's
mind—and to his astonishment, discovers that Cap had no such
prejudice, that Mags was unfairly characterizing all of mankind as
hostile. So Mags destroys the helmet and surrenders to Captain
America....
A special tribunal of the International
Court of Justice convenes in Paris with a trio of judges to hear
Magneto's case: Du Motier, Southerland, and Uderzo. The X-Men are in
attendance with Psylocke and Longshot held in reserve watching from
home. Magneto's lawyer Gabrielle Haller makes a motion that the court
has no jurisdiction over Magneto but it is denied by Judge Du Motier.
Many witnesses are called, including Captain America, and Du Motier
continues to rule against Magneto; Mags suspects that Du Motier is
secretly a mutant wanting to provoke war between mutants and
humankind by making Mags a martyr. Mags contacts Captain Marvel and
asks her to go to Singapore and return with Leiko who can detect
other mutants. She does—and finds that the mutants there have been
attacked and many—including Leiko—are dead. CapM returns to Paris
and listens in on the judges in private and learns that Du Motier is
human—but still wishes to provoke a war against mutants while
humanity could win. When Magneto learns of this he summons his helmet
and uses it to wipe all prejudice from Du Motier's mind; at the
trial, Du Motier declares that the court has no jurisdiction over
Magneto and, to everyone's astonishment, sets him free. As he leaves
the courthouse to face hostile mobs, Magneto realizes that he was so
concerned about the reaction to his death that he never considered
the consequences of his freedom and wonders if the outcome was
worse....

Uneasy Allies
In Kampuchea, the Avengers have just
placed Magneto under arrest but the X-Men and the
Soviet Super-Soldiers have arrived and are laying claim to him. The three
groups fight but the X-Men think to carry Mags off while the other
two teams are distracted, with Dazzler blinding those who would
pursue. But Captain Marvel (Monica Rambeau) is able to keep up with
the departing Rogue to tell her that they will soon be by to reclaim
Magneto for the World Court....

Back
at the clearing, Captain America fights Crimson Dynamo, Thor battles
Titanium Man (and both are aided by Cap Marvel interfering with the
Soviets' armor). She-Hulk punches out Vanguard and Dr Druid
hypnotizes Darkstar into using her Darkforce to take her own
teammates prisoner by convincing her they are the Avengers.....

Magneto
insists on locating the debris from Asteroid M, ostensibly to keep
the dangerous technology out of the wrong hands and he zooms off
without the others. He soon discovers it beneath the surface of a
lake and raises it into the air. Entering he plants explosive charges
to destroy the craft while reclaiming his familiar helmet—but as he
gets ready to submerge the asteroid into the lake, the Avengers show
up to recapture him. He seals himself inside a magnetic field but Cap
Marvel is able to enter it and knock him out. The X-Men appear and
fight the Avengers—and Magneto awakens and warns them all of the
imminent explosion. Cap Marvel flies through the ship and locates the
bombs but too late. Magneto is able to throw up a protective shield
around the others but they all end up stunned by the shockwave. Mags
gathers up the X-Men and takes them away in the Blackbird. When the
Avengers recover they find their foes, and their quarry, gone. But as
the various X-Men bicker over their course of action—and whether
Mags has turned evil again, they are unaware that Dr Druid is sitting
among them, invisible....

The Soviets Strike Back!
As the X-Men fly overhead with Magneto
safely aboard, the Soviet Super-Soldiers are still captives of the
Darkforce; they manage to snap Darkstar out of the hypnotic trance
Dr Druid put her under so that she trapped her allies while thinking she
held her enemies. Crimson Dynamo rallies the team to go after them,
accidentally letting slip that he hates mutants, which the team
members are....
Back in Kampuchea, the Avengers are
trying to determine where the X-Men have gone, when they are
mystically contacted by Dr Druid who is hiding invisibly aboard the
X-Men's Blackbird—but Druid is detected and his memories are stolen
by Rogue. The Blackbird is damaged and they have to make an emergency
landing in Singapore....
When Dr Druid recovers his memories he
calls the Avengers to let them know where to come, along with the
Soviet heroes who are following stealthily. As the Avengers search
the city for the X-Men, the disguised Vanguard has a dangerous
encounter with Wolverine and Rogue. Discovered, the X-Men take off
aboard a Dutch freighter. Magneto is pondering whether he can use the
circuitry recovered from his fallen asteroid base to wipe out
prejudice from the human race. But the Super-Soldiers arrive and
demand Magneto be turned over to them. A battle between the opposing
mutant teams breaks out and a distress call is sent by the ship's
captain, bringing the Avengers. Crimson Dynamo goes extreme and blast
a hole in the side of the ship which Captain Marvel (Monica Rambeau)
tries to repair but can't. The Avengers, the X-Men, and the Soviet
Super-Soldiers join forces to rescue the crew of the sinking ship.
When Crimson Dynamo appears, Darkstar takes him captive, accusing him
of sabotaging the ship—ironically repeating a crime he wanted
Magneto executed for. The Soviets take CM to turn him over to the
maritime authorities, trusting the others to deal with Magneto....
Miles away, Magneto is on another ship
headed back to Singapore, though the captain doesn't recognize him
from the cruise....

Justice for All
Two large asteroid fragments are
falling to Earth, one in a populated area in Ohio. The Avengers are
on the scene: Captain America and Dr Druid are evacuating the
projected impact area, the latter by using mass hypnosis to steer
shoppers out of a nearby mall. Captain Marvel (Monica Rambeau) and
Thor are in space breaking up the larger chunks so they will burn up
in Earth's atmosphere as are She-Hulk and Black Knight piloting the
Quinjet. The jet is disabled by a crash and Thor has to catch it
before it hits the ground, steering it to safety. National Security
Council agents arrive and lay claim to the asteroid fragments, which
are unusually magnetic and appear in places to be man-made....
In the Soviet Union, a railroad
automatic switching system malfunctions and a train derails with
another hurtling toward it. The Soviet Super-Soldiers are on the
scene: Vanguard stops the speeding train, Darkstar contains a fuel
explosion, Titanium Man extinguishes the fire while Ursa Major rights
 the damaged cars. Crimson Dynamo arrives to help but the others
distrust him as a KGB spy. CD explains that the railway disaster was
caused by an EMP emitted by an asteroid fragment falling to Earth and
appeals to them to join him on a mission to avenge the Soviet
people....
Several X-Men are enjoying a holiday at
the seashore: Rogue goes swimming, Dazzler dances, Wolverine soaks up
the sun but Havok broods over Magneto's presence, Storm misses her
powers, and Magneto hears about the asteroid fall on the radio.
Wondering if the fragment that came down in Kampuchea could be part
of his demolished Asteroid M base, Mags secretly heads off to the
site, unaware that Logan saw him go. Logan checks the ship's computer
to learn what Mags was looking for and summons the others; they are
concerned about what Magneto might do if something from his criminal
past has survived....
The Avengers learn from the NSC that
the asteroid fragments contain the remains of Magneto's base and that
the CIA leaked the info to the KGB and the latter agency is plotting
to assassinate Magneto. After filling in Dr Druid (and the readers)
on Magneto's supervillain history, they decide that the right thing
to do would be to arrest Magneto and put him on trial....
Magneto arrives in Kampuchea, searching
for the asteroid; the Avengers show up and try to place him under
arrest; the X-Men appear and challenge the Avengers for Magneto;
enter the Soviet Super-Soldiers demanding they turn over Magneto or
they will arrest everyone....

The Long Night
In a secret Roxxon
lab far beneath the streets of New York, Dr. Jonas Harrow is experimenting on
the sedated form of Dragon Man, seeking to discover its secrets and create an
army of synthezoids….
Ben Grimm, the
Thing, is sitting on a subway platform in disguise when two TV news anchors,
Brent Scarsdale and Beth Duncan walk by and he hopes they don’t recognize him.
Scarsdale hits on Beth and leaves and a gang of punks come by and start harassing
Ben, who tries to ignore them; Beth comes to his rescue and they turn their
nasty attentions on her. So, Ben comes to her rescue, leaving the punks piled
in a heap. After this, he can’t refuse her request for an interview on the
train….
On a different
platform, Jen “She-Hulk” Walters rushes for a train and drops the pile of legal
briefs she is carrying. A trio of boorish construction workers start making
lewd remarks about her looks (and color) while a little girl named Danika
recognizes her and expresses her admiration. Jen shuts up the guys by stealing
their clothes and tying them up and going back to her young fan….
Farther below the
surface, a band of Arthopyr, semi-insectoid vampires, led by Lord Bonham,
awaken from their long sleep and plot to prey on the human world. They plant
explosives in the subway tunnels to trap their prey and detonate them, wrecking
the trains Thing and She-Hulk are on and damaging the underground Roxxon lab.
Roxxon’s Chief Compton orders her team to evaluate the damages when Dragon Man
breaks loose and escapes. Meanwhile, Ben and Jen are holding up the roof while
the people evacuate the separate damaged trains. The three construction workers
don’t trust Jen and run off on the own, only to be crushed by a collapsing ceiling.
Leading their groups to safety, Jen and Ben encounter each other and team up to
escape. And then the Dragon Man arrives, sending the people into a panic. But
Jen gets the monster to settle down, at least until Roxxon soldiers arrive and
shoot it. When Jen and Ben are hit by gunfire, Dragon Man goes into a rage and
tears into the Roxxon agents. Elsewhere, other Roxxon soldiers fall prey to the
vampires. Deciding that dealing with Dragon Man is the first priority, Ben and
Jen bring the ceiling down upon it and Ben suggests that Jen try to charm it
into docility, which idea she doesn’t like. Dragon Man recovers and breathes
fire on Ben. Jen moves on and is caught by Lord Bonham; he fastens onto her
neck while she thrashes him around. Ben sics the monster on the vampire and it smashes
Bonham around. And now the tunnels are filling with poison gas from the lab and
Jen, fed up with how things are going, has Ben launch her through the ceiling,
tearing a hole to the surface. While the heroes help the passengers climb to
safety, the Arthopyr come to the aid of their master and swarm over the Dragon
Man. Reaching the surface, Thing and She-Hulk are swarmed by the media,
interrupted by Dragon Man, flying through the hole, dragging the vampires with
it, and the rising sun burns them all to ash. The media chases after Dragon
Man, the police arrest Harrow and Compton, and Ben and Jen go out for coffee.

Whom the Gods Would Destroy!
The jealous misunderstanding between Thor and Hercules turns shatteringly violent in seconds, crashing though the soda shop window and onto the streets of New York. Herc is startled that Thor is his equal but the Thunder God, frustrated at being separated from his beloved Jane Foster for so many months is fired up with rage….
In Asgard, the Aesir debate what punishment would be fitting for Thor as he has violated his sacred trust and revealed his secret identity to a mortal (i.e. to Jane Foster in issue #124). The wrath of Odin burns hot….
In the streets of the city, the two divine combatants tear (lengthwise) through a tractor-trailer to get at one another and their struggles takes them atop a speeding train and onto a construction site. They rip apart pieces of huge machinery to hurl at one another—but then Odin decides upon a punishment fit for his son—at the prompting of his counselor Seidring the Merciless, he will strip Thor of half his power in the midst of this battle of gods. Unable to bring himself to dole out so harsh a penalty, the All-Father endows Seidring with the Odin Power and has him do the distasteful deed. The sentence is carried out and Thor is nearly crushed when Hercules topples an abandoned building on him, saved only by the leverage of his hammer Mjolnir. As the battle continues Herc senses that something is wrong with Thor and when the Thunder God is suddenly unable to life a tractor, Herc easily knocks him out. A jubilant crowd swarms around the Greek hero and he is again approached by the Hollywood agent but this time Hercules accepts the offer of a movie contract and prepares to depart for the West Coast. A stunned Thor is left to deal with a handful of mockers—and Jane Foster. His beloved assures him that he is the only one she loves and confesses she only wanted to make him jealous. The disgraced Thor rebuffs her, declaring he is no longer fit to wear the mantle of the Thunder God and walks off. Suddenly Jane hears the voice of Odin, revealing that Thor’s victory was stolen from him and compelling her to go to him as his penance has ended. The story ends with Jane following the dejected Thor into the distance….

(No title given)
Since the events of Ragnarok, Thor has been dreaming: recalling his victories and losses as both the Norse God of Thunder and as the human physician Dr. Donald Blake. Now, Thor’s hammer Mjonir falls to Earth creating a huge crater in a rural area; a curious bystander touches it and a bolt of lightning summons Thor back into existence. In a shadowy void, Thor discovers who has summoned him back: Don Blake, his human host while on Earth, who had been erased from existence by the Odinpower. But now Don is real again, as the Odinpower has lost its force with the death of Odin. Don tells Thor that he is needed once more. Thor balks at the idea of returning to the cycle of death and rebirth, but Don explains how the choice is up to him, the cycle has been broken and now the Thunder God can create his own destiny, rebuild Asgard and reawaken the gods and return them to existence. Thor is then attacked by the monsters that inhabit the void, and he must fight his way through to life—and when he grasps Mjolnir by the handle, he is transfigured into the Thunder God of old, defeats his enemies and chooses to return to life….
Dr. Donald Blake arrives in a small town in Oklahoma and rents a room in a hotel run by the sweet Beth Sooner. Don goes up to his room, sits on his bed and strikes his walking stick on the ground—and lighting illuminates the sky with a crash of thunder….

(No title given)
Loki informs Balder of the truth of his parentage, relating how Odin visited the hero’s mother after a victory feast and when the boy was born he was troubled by portents. For thirteen days and nights Odin rode into the wilderness to the grave of a deceased prophetess. There he gave her of his blood to drink (thus making her the ancestress of all vampires) and she spoke a prophecy of Balder’s destiny. His death at the beginning of Ragnarok would herald the death of all gods but Balder would be reborn to carry on Odin’s line; if he were to die before that apocalypse, he would not return and Odin’s lineage would be broken for all time. So to prevent a premature death for Balder, the All-Father concealed the truth of his parentage so as not to attract the notice of Odin’s enemies. Loki then goads Balder into confronting Thor as to the reason he was not told after Ragnarok….
In Broxton, Bill Junior is lost in his memories of his romantic encounter with the Lady Kelda. His pal Kyle warns him that no happiness can come from mixing with gods but his father advises him to follow his heart….
Thor confirms Loki’s tale for Balder and explains again that it was to keep him safe from harm. But why did not Thor tell him after the threat of Ragnarok had passed and the Thunder God can only say that the longer it took to tell him the harder it became. Loki then offers the slyly reasonable suggestion that Balder be publicly acknowledged and celebrated. Broxton is soon shaken by the sound of a horn summoning all the Aesir to the throne room for the coronation. Behind a curtain, a suspicious Balder tells Loki he is giving him the benefit of the doubt—and not to abuse that privilege. Loki mock-humbly offers his services as the new prince’s advisor. Miles away a child is looking into Asgard though a telescope and sees the grinning Loki looking back at him—and he is terrified….

In Las Vegas, an elegant and mysterious woman walks through the streets, A dude who tries to proposition her finds his hand turned to glass. The woman reaches her home and we discover she is Hela, Goddess of Death. Loki (in a woman’s body, remember?) tells her s/he has the perfect plan of vengeance against Thor but needs to be restored to his original body to travel back in time to pursue it. Hela draws him out of the female host body and endows him with time travel powers. The male Loki heads back to the battle between the Asgardians and the Frost Giants and meets his father Laufey. He arranges to have Bor, father of Odin, led into a trap and then casts a spell turning him into living snow (seen in flashback in issue #7). He then moves ahead in time to find himself as a boy. Revealing his identity, Loki coaches his younger self on how to react when Odin slays his father Laufey. The boy follows the scheme and is adopted by Odin (as seen in flashback in issue #8). After the All-Father and his new son leave, the grown Loki seizes a sword and hacks apart the mortally wounded Laufey, exacting his long-delayed vengeance. Loki then returns to the present, where Hela has recognized his stolen body as that of Thor’s beloved Sif. The Trickster resumes his female form, thanks Hela for her assistance and takes his leave….

(No title given)
As the gods of Asgard are bored and restless now that their home is on Earth, King Balder must organize pointless war games to keep them entertained. Meanwhile, Loki suggests that a purpose may be found for them. As they talk again later, they are interrupted by a duel between two warriors over an insult. One spears the other and is shocked to learn that his opponent has died, since the Asgardians are more vulnerable now that they are in Midgard. Loki suggests that the lack of any opportunity for valor is making them weak and careless, and hints darkly that Thor has some sinister motive in keeping them this way….
Don Blake meets Jane Foster at a restaurant to make up for the tension of their previous meeting (issue #8). She tells him of the tenacious cancer patient Mrs. Chambers, unaware that the Lady Sif is trapped within her decaying body. Later, Don and Jane hear on a news broadcast that Captain America died one year ago that day. Excusing himself, Don heads to Cap’s tomb and expresses his admiration for the fallen hero before allowing Thor to address his friend. The Thunder God is able to call up Cap’s spirit and asks if he wants Cap to take vengeance against those responsible for his death. Cap thanks him and says no, that enough blood has been spilled but Cap’s main concern is that as a symbol he is being claimed and distorted to the needs of conflicting political agendas. It was never political, he says, but always for the good of the country. Thor speaks his heart, telling Cap that the greatest honor he had was fighting alongside Captain America. He flies into the heavens and causes a lighting storm that jams all broadcast signals around the world for sixty second, thus providing a moment of silence from the political chatter in honor of this comrade and friend….

Wandering Gods
The townsfolk of Broxton are having a little trouble getting used to their new neighbors in Asgard: the discovery at the town meeting that the Aesir have been flinging their toilet waste over the walls and Hogun walking to Texas to hunt boars, for example. Bill Junior, the diner owner, tells of a late night walk when he encountered the lovely Lady Kelda of Asgard, and was instantly smitten. He realizes though that nothing can come of a romance: "A bird can love a fish, but where would they build a house together?" Don Blake replies "On the edge of the river." Meanwhile, Don is debating with Thor over whether to restore Odin to life, the chief concern being whether the All-Father represents wisdom and guidance or stagnation….
Out in a field, Don transforms into Thor and flies up into the stratosphere creating a world-wide storm which restores all of the lost Aesir to Earth in their own bodies. Thor, his power spent, plummets to Earth and crashes in the desert.

Father Issues
Thor is brought back to Asgard after his fall from the stratosphere (last issue) and he summons the metalworker Falki. Thor must enter into Odinsleep to recover his strength and the smith had created for the All-Father a coffin-like chamber which places a god in a state that is between life and death to hasten recovery. Thor leaves Balder in charge while he is in stasis and the chamber is closed—and suddenly Don Blake is in the room. With Thor neither alive nor dead, Don is no longer in the void and he makes his apologies and tries to leave the city. Soon he is on a plane bound for New York, to track down Jane Foster….
In the state between life and death, Thor finds himself in a desolate wasteland. He is confronted by his father’s ravens Hugin and Munin, who scold him for not restoring Odin to life. When the Thunder God objects that he can raise only those who fell during Ragnarok, the ravens point out that he did not even try, and impugn his motives. Thor is directed to follow the sounds of battle and he comes upon Odin locked in combat with Surtur the Fire Demon. The son races to the father’s aid and together they slay Surtur, with Odin dying from the wounds as he does each night in this land, rising healed to continue battle each morning. Odin recognizes that Thor has not raised him back to life and did not expect him to. He then tells the tale of his own father Bor: Odin’s father taught him everything but disapproved of his son’s having independent plans for Midgard. Odin created life on Earth; Bor threatened it with monsters. One day, in war with the Frost Giants, Bor was ambushed by a sorcerer who turned him to living snow. When Odin came upon his father pleading for help as the winds slowly took him away, he chose to do nothing and returned to the Aesir to report his father dead. Odin took the throne that day, and with time, his father’s voice faded away—until his own son Thor was born and he realized that one day the wheel would turn again….

Forced Perspective
In Asgard, Loki (a woman since issue #4) is sowing seeds of dissatisfaction by suggesting to Balder, and then to the Warriors Three that they are not availing themselves of the freedom which Thor won for them (and questioning their manhood if they do not seek heroic glory in this new world). Later, Balder approaches Loki about a means of fighting the Frost Giants sighted in the Rocky Mountains (another goad from Loki). The Trickster God opens a magic portal and the hero finds himself in the icy mountains….
Meanwhile, Volstagg is considering joining the Avengers while Heimdall mocks his foolishness in listening to Loki’s advice. They are interrupted by a voice calling from below: it is Bill Junior from Broxton come to visit the Lady Kelda, who he has had a crush on since she visited the town (issue #6). After several vain attempts to toss a bouquet of flowers up to her, she invites him in and gives him a tour of Asgard….
In the Rocky Mountains, the pensive Balder runs into the Frost Giants (unaware that Loki has dispatched them) as they are menacing a stranded motorist and his young son. The brave hero leaps into action and vanquishes his foes—with the aid of Loki, who "fortunately" appears on the scene. Result: the two Asgardians are arrested by the police. Thor soon bails them out and they returns to Asgard (where Bill is trying in vain to teach the Aesir how to play basketball). Later, Loki persuades Balder that Thor does not have his best interests at heart and reveals the shocking news that Balder is in reality the son of Odin and half-brother to Thor.

Everything Old is New Again
Not knowing why he is drawn there, Thor visits New Orleans to begin his quest to restore the gods to Asgard. Viewing the devastation of Hurricane Katrina, he is accosted by a hostile survivor named Ezra who expresses his anger toward the superheroes who did nothing to stop the disaster. As he stands alone, Thor sees Iron Man; the Armored Avenger tells Thor about the Superhero Registration Act and demands that the Thunder God join the government forces and move Asgard—or the military will do it for him. Thor’s response is to denounce Tony for betraying his former comrades and hunting them down in the name of the Act—and worse, for creating the Thor clone, violating his person and abusing their friendship. Tony tries to explain but Thor cuts him off with a hammer blow to the helmet. Angered, Iron Man unleashes a repulsor ray blast at the God of Thunder, who is unfazed by it. Iron Man jets toward his opponent but the Mighty Thor knocks him out of the park for a home run. He then calls down lightning to short out Tony’s armor then rips open his helmet to give him a stern lecture. He demands to be left alone, with apocalyptic warnings of the consequences of government interference with Asgard. Thor finishes with a demand to be left alone coupled with another veiled threat then releases Tony. A defeated Tony Stark suggests a compromise: that Asgard be treated as a foreign embassy with diplomatic immunity. Thor agrees and allows Tony to walk home, postponing a discussion of the clone issue until a later date….
Thor then encounters Ezra; the man’s niece explains that he has been bitter since his wife’s death in the hurricane and realized he was powerless to protect the ones he loved. Thor sees the depth of grief in the man’s eyes and recognizes him as the human host of Heimdall, who similarly stood by helpless in the face of the destruction of all he held dear. Thor transforms him into his real persona.
At SHIELD HQ, Tony Stark is informed there is now another inhabitant of Asgard and he decides to let it go. For now….

Dr. Don Blake spends his first days in Broxton, Oklahoma, getting acquainted with his new neighbors, then he drives out to a large spacious area a few miles from town. There, he strikes his stick on the ground and is transformed into the Mighty Thor, Norse God of Thunder. He calls down a massive thunderstorm from the heavens that attracts the attention of citizens and meteorologists for miles around with its severity, and when the sun reappears, it is shining on the newly raised city of Asgard! As he surveys his restored home, the sheriff arrives to tell him he does not own that land and cannot build on it. So he summons the lightning once more and raises the city to float several feet above the ground, circumventing the law. The nonplussed sheriff and his deputy drive away. Thor is brooding about the absence of his people when he is interrupted by Sam Miller, the owner of the property Asgard is floating above. Miller is willing to sell so Thor takes him to the treasury—an enormous room filled with gold—and tells him to take what he wants and never come back. Miller backs up the truck and takes Thor at his word….
Later, word gets around town about their new neighbor, and Beth Sooner wonders if he is lonely out there on the plain. He is, and he makes a vow to his old friends and comrades to bring them back if that is in any way possible….

No Borders
Dr. Ernest Lebreaux of Medecins Sans Frontieres (Doctors Without Borders) recruits Don Blake for a humanitarian mission to Africa. In a refugee camp in an area torn by civil war, Don and other team members minister to the suffering with an act of God the only hope for a peaceful solution. Don is introduced to the team’s three guards, German Rolf Mueller, American Leo Kincaid, and British Trevor Newly just as the enemy Ngare stage an attack on the camp. A wounded Don finds his stick and strikes it on the ground, transforming into Thor. The Thunder God quickly ends the conflict, scaring the Ngare attackers away. Impressed with the performance of the three soldiers who were seemingly brought together by chance in a place called Umeme Mungu (Lightning God), Thor recognizes them as the hosts of the Warriors Three—Volstagg, Hogun, and Fandral. The head of the refugee camp persuades them not to pursue the retreating enemy—that it would not end the conflict, and that Africa must solve its own problems. Thor does make one contribution: he blasts a chasm between the two tribes’ territories creating a zone of protection while they work out a solution.
Back in Asgard, Thor welcomes his friends home and asks Heimdall for his aid in locating the rest of their fallen friends….

Special Delivery
The postman from Broxton heads out to Asgard with a delivery; first he erects a mailbox and paints the address on it (1 Asgard Rd.) then deposits the message and raises the little flag. A curious Thor comes out to find an invitation to the Broxton town meeting. Heimdall has some disturbing news for Thor: not only is he unable to locate the Lady Sif in the Nine Worlds but other human hosts of Asgardians are disappearing. Thor travels in the direction of the growing darkness until he discovers an underground bunker in the desert. Entering, he finds the missing people locked in cells, a raven-haired woman among them who recognizes him. Thor is then attacked by the Destroyer. After a brutal battle which carries them outside, Thor unleashes a lightning storm which reveals the one whose spirit animated the armored monster—Balder. The brave hero does not know how he came to inhabit the Destroyer or why he brought the people to his desert. Thor heads back to the bunker to discover the Asgardians, freed from their hosts, have departed—all save one. Thor approaches the dark-haired woman and discovers she is not his beloved Sif but Loki! The God(dess) of Mischief assures his brother that he has forsaken his devilish ways and asks only to be trusted. Later, alone, he explains that this is part of his plan to his new ally—Doctor Doom….

Father Issues Part Two
The dead Odin continues to relate his own history: the birth of his son Thor served as a constant reminder to Odin of his own treachery in abandoning his father Bor. One day, the spirit of Bor appeared to Odin and told him that adopting the son of an enemy he will slay would silence the nagging voice forever—but later he would be betrayed by his son. Soon after, Odin kills the Frost Giant Laufey in battle and the All-Father raised Laufey’s son Loki as his own, unaware that this was not his father’s forgiveness but his means of revenge. And so Odin understands why Thor has left him in the place of the dead, though he may still serve a purpose here….
Don Blake arrives at the New York City hospital where Dr. Jane Foster works in the oncology department among the terminally ill. Over coffee in the cafeteria, Don learns that Jane’s life has spun out of control since it became known that Thor—and possibly Don—was back. Don then comes to the purpose of his visit: to discover whether Jane, having once possessed Sif’s life force, could be the human host of Sif; Jane slaps his face for his lack of concern for her as a person. Don apologizes and leaves….
In the land of the dead, Thor offers to return Odin to the land of the living but the All-Father refuses: if he were not here to slay Surtur and die himself in an eternal cycle, Surtur would escape to threaten Asgard again. By the offer, Bor’s curse is lifted: Odin is no longer trapped but chooses freely to remain and die daily for his people. When the Fire Demon attacks again, Thor stands by Odin’s side to prevent his father’s death for once….
Back in the oncology department, Jane apologizes to Don for her outburst. Don explains how Jane was the last hope that Thor’s beloved Sif would be found alive and Jane’s assurance that she is not the warrior woman’s host leads to Don’s resignation to her loss. As he leaves, a dying old woman named Mrs. Chambers calls out to him but a nurse quiets her. Surprise reveal: Mrs. Chambers is Sif’s host, trapped in a decaying body by the sadistic Loki in the form of the nurse….
Having driven off the mortally wounded Surtur, Odin assures Thor he will be well and sends the Thunder God back out of his Odinsleep. As he progresses through the wasteland, the ravens suggest that now Thor may be able to forgive himself….
Thor awakens in his chamber (and Don Blake suddenly vanishes from a New York City street) and announces to his people that all who can be resurrected have been brought back and Asgard can move forward in hope…as we get a final glimpse of Sif in Mrs. Chambers’ body….

The room is forbidden to humans and Solvang would leave but Volstagg insists he explain his theory to Thor. The scientist launches into a disordered account of parallel worlds and the vacuum created by the city’s destruction but his lack of people skills merely sends Thor into a rage and Solvang is sent away….

In a flash of lightning, Thor ascends into the skies and shouts "Loki! Come forth!"

Volstagg, having been tricked by Norman Osborn into destroying a crowded sports arena causing many casualties, makes his way back to Broxton where he surrenders to the local police. In Asgard, King Balder looks for a way toward a peaceful resolution and in the meantime bids his warriors join him in a feast. The blind soothsayer Knut enters with prophecies of doom for Asgard; the city will fall, Knut himself will die the next day. Tyr scoffs and Heimdall foresees nothing; Knut tells the latter his vision will fail and the former that the God of War will die on the morrow. Loki offers to help the distraught old man back to his room. Once there, Loki waits for the bell to toll midnight, and when it does he makes the first of Knut’s prophecies come true, the one spoken of his death….

Defining Moments
The exiled Thor sits in a wilderness contemplating the broken Mjolnir; from limbo Don Blake is worried that the loss of the magic hammer will leave him trapped. Thor strikes the hammer on the ground and the transformation succeeds, albeit painfully. Don gathers up the broken pieces of his stick and heads to town….Meanwhile, Balder and Loki attend a dinner at Doctor Doom’s castle, where the supervillain offers the Asgardians a place of refuge similar to their former home with guarantees of freedom and friendship. Balder is suspicious of Doom’s offer but silky-tongued Loki persuades him that the two monarchies have more in common that it might appear at first….After Volstagg spends quite a bit of time drunkenly (and comically) bemoaning Thor’s fate, Fandral and Hogun suggest that the Warriors Three follow their leader into exile….In Broxton, Bill Junior receives a visit at the diner from the Lady Kelda, who tells him of her imminent departure and she confesses her love for him but can’t ask him to sacrifice his home for her….As Don sits in his room, repairing the broken stick with masking tape, he receives a vision of Loki, come to inform him that the Aesir are now departing for their new home in Latveria but actually to drop a bombshell on him: Loki claims to have just discovered that the female body he inhabits is that of the missing Lady Sif and that her human host is on the point of death, so Thor had better hurry up and find her so he can say goodbye….Late that night, Bill comes to a decision, he drives out to Asgard, climbs into the levitating city, and joins Kelda in the transporter with a sincere, "I love you…"

Latverian Prometheus Part 1 of 3
Kelda Stormrider goes to Doctor Doom’s castle to confront Loki over the death of her beloved Bill Junior (seen in THOR GIANT-SIZE FINALE). As she faces Doom while standing on a thundercloud in a storm, he tells her Loki is gone and he taunts her about her foolish love for a mortal. She blasts him to pieces with lightning and discovers it was a Doombot. She follows the control wires down to Doom’s lab where she is seized by a huge armored figure. Doom casually explains his determination to learn the Asgardians’ secret of immortality—and has the machine rip her heart out….
In the Asgardian camp, Heimdall bows the Gjallarhorn summoning all the Aesir to battle; a head count reveals how many have disappeared into Doom’s laboratory. Balder names Tyr that leader of the army which will march against the tyrant. Thor has also not answered the call but Balder believes it may be because Don Blake occupies the mortal plane at this time. Nevertheless, they prepare to march on the castle….
In Broxton, Don Blake places a call to Reed Richards in New York whom he has contacted about the murderous robots which attacked him (again in THOR GIANT-SIZE FINALE). Pausing briefly to have Thing take care of some invading transdimensional aliens, Reed narrows the source down to a few possibilities; Don narrows it further—to Doctor Doom….
At Bill’s Viking funeral, Balder rouses the warriors to action. Loki appears among them, pleading ignorance of Doom’s intentions (and his own innocence). Balder slashes Loki’s face with a sword point and demands the truth. Loki humbly takes all blame on himself, while casually reminding them that any action taken against him could only be after a trial. Balder places Loki under guard and asks Heimdall if he can see Kelda; he can, in the castle, lying in a pool of blood. They march to the castle wall and confront Doom, demanding their missing citizens be returned to them. Doom complies—but the kidnapped Asgardians have been operated on, turning them into mindless cybernetic drones. They swarm over the walls and the warriors must bring themselves to fight their grotesquely transformed kinsmen or die. As Doom watches from the battlements, he hears a voice behind him pronouncing judgment on his evil. The tyrant turn to see Thor descending upon him, hammer ready to strike….

Uncertain Destinies
At a New York hospital, cancer patient Mrs. Chambers goes into cardiac arrest. With a flash of intuition, Dr. Jane Foster knows that the dying woman is the human host of the missing Lady Sif. She hastily calls Don Blake in Broxton with the urgent news; Don strikes his damaged stick on the ground and the power of broken Mjolnir summons Thor but also renders him unconscious. When the Thunder God awakens after much lost time, he visits Dr. Strange in the New Jersey Pine Barrens and asks the sorcerer to repair Mjolnir. Strange tells him it can be done but the magicks needed for the operation would drain the Odinforce from Thor and bind his life to his hammer’s much more closely, meaning that if the hammer was again broken, Thor might also die. Thor agrees and the spells are cast; he hurries to the hospital where he is able to draw Sif’s spirit out of Mrs. Chambers just as the old woman dies. From the void Don communicates with the spirit of Rose Chambers and she is grateful that she was able to do some good in the world as she died….
Bill Junior has joined Kelda in the Asgardians’ new home and hopes to fit in but he is shocked to discover that they are in Latveria, domain of Doctor Doom. (Loki tells Doom he is pleased with how the new situation is turning out.) Bill tries to warn Balder that Doom is a villain but Balder explains that, despite his own misgivings, a change of scenery was needed for the people of Asgard. If Bill is wrong, the Aesir will be happy; if not, they will have a common enemy. Outside a trio of ruffians picks a fight with Bill but Kelda intervenes, giving him a deadly spear of ice with which to defend himself. The toughs back down but continue to try to goad Bill into challenging them. He confides in her that he hopes to find a way to help Balder. The king of Asgard, meanwhile, seeks counsel of Heimdall, who can only foresee death….
