A young mutant named Davis records his manifesto, accusing
Thor of trying to usurp the place of Jesus Christ on Earth so he decides it is
up to him to do something about it….
In Cincinnati, Ohio, Thor enchants a magic jewel, creating a
more stable and cleaner source of energy for the city, replacing its several
nuclear plants. Thor then gives a fragment of the jewel to Thialfi to deliver
to Tony Stark so that he might replicate it for other cities. Crusher Creel
cheers as Thor flies off while the staff of the nuclear plant now complain that
they no longer have jobs….
In Asgard, Thor defends his choosing to allow humans to
employ Asgardian magic; while the gods may give guidance, humans must make the
decisions of how to use these things. Meanwhile, Davis the young mutant sneaks
onto the site of the new magic jewel and presses his hands against the
structure, causing it to age and crumble in minutes, collapsing to the ground.
But Crusher Creel, the Absorbing Man, has spotted the young man, and he turns
to steel to knock him out and take him prisoner. Creel carries Davis up to
Asgard and presents him to Thor. Davis is questioned as to why he did it and
his response is that Thor is a fraud, trying to supplant the One True God, by
forcing his way in where he wasn’t invited…
…and Davis records the outcome: Thor offered to let him go
free if he promised not to do anything like it again. Davis agreed but only so
he could be released to do it all again….
Davis then disguises himself as a delivery man to get past
Thor’s guards at the Cleveland Electric Plant. His ruse is uncovered so he uses
his mutant power to seize the guard and age him to death. Davis leans against
the magic jewel’s structure and causes it to explode. Thor decides to act
against the boy who has contacted the media and gained supporters. As he has
broken the laws of Asgard and those of his own God by killing the guard, Thor
calls in Heimdall to hunt down the boy…
…and Thor confronts Davis in a forest, intending to turn him
over to the law. The boy seizes Thor and uses his power to decay both of them
but Thor pushes him away and the boy ages and dies, commending his spirit to
God. Thor is confused, having done nothing to harm Davis. Heimdall shows him
Davis’ recorded farewell, warning the world that Thor is the Devil in disguise,
and notes that it has been uploaded to the internet. Thor realizes that Davis
turned his own power on himself and he notes that Davis many have started a
chain of events that will affect all that is to come….
