Description
Odin has called the start of the Tournament of Titans to determine who will be the Champion of Asgard. Lighting three torches, he sends three of Asgard's greatest athletes to the Mount of Eternity to light the Beacon of the Brave. The lighting of the flame is seen all over the realm and beyond, it is especially seen by the Absorbing Man and Loki who are still frozen solid and trapped in orbit around Asgard following their last defeat at the hands of Thor. Bitter at this defeat, Loki vows to get revenge against Thor and Odin and ruin the games. Odin meanwhile, being stuck in the role of judge of the games, reminisces to Thor about the old days when he used to compete in the Tournament. Thor is met by the Warriors Three who have come to try and get Thor to come out and enjoy the festivities. Odin realizing he has been keeping his son from enjoying himself allows the Thunder God to leave with his friends. Along the way the quartet of heroes are stopped when they happen upon a bar brawl involving Tyr, Brok, Galp and Drom the Spirit-Weaver, three near-do-wells. They break up the fight and the two groups then end up challenging each other to see who is superior. Tyr choosing Fandral, Galp against Hogun, Brok against Thor, and Drom against Volstagg. As this is going on, Loki sends his spirit to Earth where he finds the ruins of temple where the Destroyer armor was stored. There, Loki possesses the body of the Destroyer in the hopes of using the enchanted armor against Thor and Odin and ruin the Tournament. Back on Asgard, the tournament gets underway starting with a battle royal to see who is the bravest warrior of them all. Participating in the event are Thor, the Warriors Three, Tyr, Brok, Galp and Drom. As planned these eight warriors pair off fighting their supposed equal opponent to see which one is the better of the other. As this contest goes on, the Destroyer armor arrives on the Bifrost Bridge, and Heimdall proves to be little match to stop it from crossing into Asgard. The Destroyer enters the arena where at that time the Warriors Three, Thor and Tyr and his goons are all fighting each other. The Destroyer soon breaks up the fight, easily dispelling all the contenders and making it's way toward Odin himself. Dropping their battle with Tyr and his crones, Thor goes after the Destroyer, attacking the enchanted armor all by himself. Like in his previous encounter with the Destroyer armor, Thor finds that he does not have sufficient power to be able to stop it. When the armor gets to Odin, Loki reveals that he is the one that is piloting the suit and prepares to destroy Odin with a blast from the armor's disintegration ray. Before he can do so, Balder -- whom Odin sent off to locate Loki's physical body -- returns with the location of the body. Odin then casts a spell of forgetfulness on Loki's inert form blocking out all of his thoughts. With no mind or memory to remember how to pilot the armor, Loki's soul returns to his body rendering the Destroyer armor inert once more. With Loki's plot foiled, Odin addresses his subjects and declares them all heroes.
