Captain Ultra, amateur superhero, has moved to Chicago as
New York was too crowded with good guys for him to contribute. But here he is,
swooping down and stopping signs from dropping on people….
Thor and Sif drop off Keith Kincaid and Jane Foster in New
York and return to Chicago. Later that day, there is a boiler explosion at the aquarium,
flooding the building. The emergency siren distracts Thor just as Sif is about
to tell him she is going back to Asgard, with or without him. Captain Ultra
arrives on the scene to handle what is essentially a plumbing problem (Ultra is
plumber Griffin Gogol in real life) and he gets angry when Thor shows up,
trying to steal his limelight. Ultra picks a fight which Thor easily wins and
the Thunder God cleans up the mess while Ultra is taken away by the police. Thor
and Sif return to Don’s apartment and again, just as she is about to reveal her
news, Donald Blake is called away by an emergency….

Synopsis: After a boar hunt in Asgard, Sif seeks out Queen
Frigga for some advice and sympathy. Sif relates how she finally told Donald
Blake that she was returning to Asgard, with or without Thor but he said he
couldn’t go. She stayed long enough for them to attend the wedding of Jane
Foster and Keith Kincaid but as soon as it was over she announced she was leaving.
She used her magic sword to step through onto the Rainbow Bridge, greeting her
brother Heimdall. And now Frigga comforts her and tells her that Odin is also impatient
for Thor to return to Asgard but counsels patience. Fandral then rides up and
invites Sif to join him in fighting storm giants while Frigga wonders when Sif
will be marrying Thor….
