Description
Thor takes Jane Foster to his father Odin. Thor wants to make Jane Foster an immortal and marry her. However, Odin puts Jane through some grueling tasks, befitting an immortal, including having her encounter the monster "The Unknown". Jane fails poorly in these tests and declares that she does not want to be an immortal. Hearing her request, Odin transports her to the West Coast where she will reside and work as a nurse for Keith Kincaid. Thor is upset that his father had set a test for Jane Foster that she was sure to fail. Odin briefly explains his actions to his son, and then orders the Thunder god to Gundershelm to re-capture "The Unknown" who had escaped during Jane's ordeal. A depressed Thor wearily goes on the mission. When Thor encounters "The Unknown" the monster bests him and the Odinson contemplates his defeat and end. However, the Lady Sif appears brings her sword to Thor's aid. She also encourages Thor to fight on. Thor rallies and defeats "The Unknown". After the battle Thor compliments Sif on her beauty and her adventurous spirit.
