<span class="mu-s">THE COMING OF THE AVENGERS?!</span>
The realm known as Midgard, present day, New York City.
Rain falls from above, among the citizens walking around is the unassuming Donald Blake, a man who needs a cane to walk... Of course, nobody would suspect he is actually a disguise for The Mighty Thor, God of Thunder, Prince of Asgard... Exiled from his home to Midgard (or Planet Earth as the locals call it) by his father Odin, All-Father, for his arrogance...
Though Midgard has proven to show him plenty resistance and evil-doers to battle, he is truly a fish out of water, suffering from a bit of a culture shock constantly as he protects the world from all matter of foes in an attempt to be allowed back into the Golden Realm of Gods by proving himself worthy of his royal lineage...
As he wanders the streets, he ponders heavily on this strange Godless world, these humans seem to live vapid lives, they struggle to survive, weak and vulnerable... They ride on automated chariots, boxes of metal that tend to cause accidents... And high above, on the sides of the tall rectangular buildings there are bright electronic tablets that promote spending their hard-earned gold into frivolous trinkets.
But little does he know Odin himself is in quite the trouble, following Thor's exile, his other son Loki was quick to attempt betrayal... For which he was imprisoned deep in the Isle of Silence.
And yet... Loki is a mighty magician, the trickster God of Evil is physically stuck, but his mind is active as always, brewing a terrible scheme to destroy his brother and eternal rival Thor... Eliminating all opposition to the throne of Asgard!
"I project my image... I cast my spell upon Midgard... Let them know THOR is their ENEMY!"
Taking the shape most convenient to trick the heroes, he seeks for the realm's protectors:
Marc Spector, once a disenfranchised mercenary, now the hero of the night, the Fist of Vengeance... Revived by the Egyptian Moon God Khonshu to be his immortal servant! His MOON KNIGHT! A man with a fractured mind... For Loki, however, it is trivial to trick him, masquerading himself as Khonshu, he gave him a new assignment:
"Attention, my knight! An evil God has invaded your city, and you know gods hate sharing... Vikings are dangerous people, so before it becomes too late... Hunt down the beast known... As THOR!!"
Kneeling, the protector of the night glides into action.
Janet Van Dyne, the heroine known as THE WASP, similarly tricked but with much less fanfare: All Loki had to do was show her the image her dear guy friend and the creator behind the particle that became the source of her powers, scientist adventurer Hank Pym... Imprisoned by an evil man with a hammer! "Jan! A madman pretending to be a norse god has kidnapped me! I do not have my equipment! Hurry!"
Played like a puppet, the wondrous Wasp flies into action, rage in her eyes. "Why do these super freaks always have some crazy gimmick?! Honestly!"
