Synopsis
Thor, still powerless since Odin stripped him of his godly might,
charges at the coming Destroyer — completely unaware that it houses
the soul of his lover, Sif, who agreed to pilot the armor to save Thor
from the Wrecker. Until this point Sif has managed to keep the
Destroyer’s natural inclination to destroy any God’s in it’s path in
check, begins to lose control of the mystic armors baser instincts as
Thor increases the fury of his attack, the Destroyer pitches into full
control just when Thor smashes a car over the armors head, sending it
into a full battle fury.
Watching from her castle is Karnilla and Loki, who have
orchestrated these events in the hopes that the Destroyer will kill Thor
once and for all. Karnilla calls for the recently captured Balder to be
brought before her to witness the destruction of Thor, and also tries
to win Balder’s affections. Her flirtations are interrupted when Ulik
storms the room and throws a sword at them to announce the fact that he
intends to kill them all.
Back on Earth, Thor continues his fight against the Destroyer,
while inside the armor, Sif tries desperately to regain control and stop
the fight, but finds that her will is not powerful enough to seize
control of of the rampaging armor. As the battle rages on in the
Destroyers favor, back in Asgard, Odin’s trusted wizard manages to
create a new mystic crystal for Odin to be able to view the Earth.
Witnessing Thor’s losing battle against the Destroyer and unaware of the
machinations of Loki and Karnilla, Odin restores Thor’s full strength
and godly might.
Thor realizes his full power has been restored when his hammer
suddenly pulls out of the Destroyer’s grasp and returns to him.
Rejoicing at having his full power back, Thor resumes his fight against
the Destroyer with his most powerful blows. At a distinct physical
disadvantage, the Destroyer then (much to Sif’s horror) activates it’s
disintegratior and fires a beam toward Thor.
Back in the land of the Norns, Ulik tells Karnilla that his
master Geirrodur has ordered her death, prompting Balder to come to her
protection, in exchange for his and Sif’s freedom. This is a request
that Karnilla complies with at least freeing Balder who begins a battle
with Ulik. While back on Earth, Thor manages to dodge the disintegrator
blast and duck into a dead end alleyway, with nowhere to go he is
cornered against a neigh unstoppable foe.

Synopsis
- (Black Knight
Comics#2/4) – When Arthur led his knights out to
celebrate the time of shearing during the harvest season, Mordred
contacted Sir Robert de Quincy and the Normans he had summoned,
telling them that they time was ripe to strike. Mordred
plotted that after the Normans conquered Camelot, Arthur would be
seized and Mordred would be named as the new king; at some point Mordred
intended to betray
de Quincy and take all of England for himself. In order to not appear to
be
collaborating with the Normans, Mordred organized the troops as the
enemy
approached, but then sent them out of the castle to face the Normans,
who
quickly surrounded them. Suspecting treachery, the Black Knight rushed to the
rescue before Mordred could announce surrender. Rallied by his presence, the
soldiers of Camelot (including Sir Gillis) fought back. The Black Knight protected
their backs as the soldiers returned to the safety of the castle, but
unfortunately none then saw when Mordred struck the Knight from behind. Wounded,
the Knight hid underwater in the moat until it was safe to scale the castle
walls. Mordred intended to open the drawbridge to the Normans, but the Black
Knight struck him down instead, and shortly thereafter Arthur and his men
returned, attacking the Normans from the rear and driving them off.
Nonetheless, Arthur once again failed to recognize Mordred’s motives, and he
thanked him for honorably defending the castle. Frustrated at his inability to
prove Mordred’s treachery, Percy continued to bide his time until the day of
judgment he knew would sure come.
Notes
- In this old story (Black Knight) Mordred is married to Morgan Le Fey. In the modern Marvel Universe Morgan is Mordred’s aunt.
