Synopsis

After completing a surgery successfully, Dr. Donald Blake returns
to his apartment where he begins to ponder about the secrets of his
double identity. Namely, is he really Thor or Donald Blake? And if he is
the latter, what happened to the original Thor? Drifting to sleep, he
dreams about going to Asgard in his godly form and asking Odin for the
answers that have been plaguing him. Hearing this request from Asgard,
Odin decrees that Blake shall be told the truth, and when Blake awakens,
Odin appears before him and tells him the fate of what happened to Thor
many years ago:

Odin tells of a time when Thor was brash, arrogant, and reckless.
One day while chasing a birdbeast, the Thunder God trespassed into
Niffelheim, violating a truce between Odin and the giants that lived
there. This led to a confrontation between Thor and an army of giants.
Balder would be called into to pull Thor from the fight, citing that the
Thunder God was at fault for the conflict.

Returning to Asgard, Thor would go to a local tavern with the
Warriors Three and engage in an arm wrestling competition with one of
the other patrons. This would end in Thor winning, and the other patron
accusing Thor of cheating. This leads to a huge bar brawl that is
eventually broken up by Odin who summons Thor to his side.

Meeting Odin on a mountain where Odin berates his son, telling
him that he lacks humility and is sorely needing a lesson on the
subject. He turns Thor’s attention to Earth, and decrees that he is
going to send Thor there to live the life of a frail mortal so that he
might learn his lesson and someday regain his godly identity. Odin would
banish Thor to Earth, and turn him into Donald Blake, with no memory of
his past as the Thunder God.

With the story done, Odin explains that he had placed Thor’s
mystic hammer where he might find it after he had learned humility, and
that changing him into a form with a handicap and giving him a
profession that made him heal the sick and frail was all part of this
lesson.

With the explanation done, Odin departs leaving Blake to consider
everything he learned. The doctor realizes that his romance with Jane
Foster was doomed to failure from the start, and he never would renounce
his godly heritage because he was indeed, truly Thor. As a final
acceptance of these revelations, Blake taps his cane on the ground
changing into Thor where he proudly embraces his true heritage.
