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.
