Item Biography
"Victory"
Loki's plan has all of the pieces in place, and he sets it into motion. He mystically retrieves the fragments of Odin's father Bor, scattered to the snows millennia ago, restoring him to life in Midtown Manhattan. Bor is expecting his son Odin to have revived him, and when Odin can't be found, he suspects he has fallen to the enemy. Loki's spell ensures the Bor sees Thor as that enemy. As the fierce battle rages, the Dark Avengers try to put a lid on it, treating both parties as enemy combatants. Thor dispatches them, but he must make a choice, Bor's life or the whole of Midgard's?
