It's Jane Thor and Quentin Quire versus
the Phoenix Force; the mutant boy tries to enter the force and
commune with it (he's the Force's destiny) but is blocked. Then the
Force communicates directly with Jane Foster in the shape of a
flaming woman, offering to remove the burden of being Thor from her
in exchange for Mjolnir. Instead, Jane materializes the hammer in her
hand and clobbers Phoenix. Thor is back to full power, defying the
Phoenix as Thor Odinson arrives to join his power to hers and drive
her off...minus a bit of her that has attached itself to Quentin
Quire....
In Omnipotence City, Thor delivers the
Shi'ar gods, Sharra and K'ythri who are to be judged for their crimes
against divine law. And the new Shi'ar god is appointed: Quentin
Quire....
In Asgardia, the Asgardians and the
Shi'ar Imperial Guard celebrate their victory. In the Congress of
Worlds, however, Jane Foster, the Senator from Midgard, is forced to
resign in view of her declining health. Cul Borson eagerly names her
replacement (Sinthea Schmidt, daughter of the Red Skull) but Jane has
already found her replacement: SHIELD Agent Roz Solomon.
Pleased that his distraction with the
Shi'ar has served him well, Malekith takes Loki to Muspelheim (the
realm of fire) to meet the Queen....
The Shi'ar all hail their new god,
Quentin/Phoenix....
Thor Odinson demands to see his injured
mother but he is denied entrance by Odin. Jane arrives to take Thor
aside to tell her a story of her own i.e. the fact that she is the
new Thor....
The Phoenix Force heads off on its own
business, minus the bit that Quentin had absorbed. Still smarting
from its defeat by Thor, the Force takes consolation in the fact that
the ultimate judgment of all the gods has been released: the
Mangog....
