Thor is brought
before Odin who explains that his having turned Thor into Don Blake to teach
him humility was a lie. It was a test of featly so now Thor is commanded to get
a haircut and go to Earthgard and take a job in tech to make money….
And so, under
the guise of Chad Hammer, Thor takes an executive job with Roxxon and carries a
Roxxon-branded Mjolnir. A gorgeous woman gushes over him and he points out to
her his Thor-Truck, listing its particulars which can be accessed with a
Roxxbook account. He returns to Roxxon headquarters to find young people protesting
the corporation’s misdeeds and calls down a storm to blow them away, mourning
the fact that he only wanted them to think he was cool….
The Minotaur explains
to Thor that the youth are misguided, unaware that a world without Roxxon would
be a horror, and quality of life is also the best, foreseeing the future of
wealthy people living in domes (as seen in IMMORTAL THOR #9). Thor deduces it
must be Loki behind the protests….
So while Loki
is indoctrinating the youth with environmental messages, Thor goes to the beach
to find his Broskis Three (Enchantress, Executioner, and Heimdall) who are
undergoing a bit of soap opera at the moment. See, Skurge loves Amora but she
has eyes only for Thor. Thor arrives and the Roxxon Eliza device tells him what
he wants to know about Loki so he and his Broskis invade Loki’s lair. Loki
casts a spell that would trap Thor in a false world….
***And at this
point, the real Thor is shocked and appalled at what he is reading. Dario “the
Minotaur” Agger explains that self-parody is the best way to capture the minds
of the masses, by making them think they are all in on the joke.***
The Broskis
depart and return with Roxxspexx, a virtual reality viewer that allows Thor to
see the truth and defeat Loki and his hippie minions….
Thor returns to
Asgard where Odin has Gaia and Minotaur explains to Thor how unrestricted capitalism
is the only way to live. And Odin hands over a cash bonus to “Chad Hammer.”
