Description
Synopsis for “The Thunder God and the Thug”
Returning to the office of Donald Blake, Thor notices some of his alter ego’s patients watching and in order to protect his secret identity enters the another office where mannequins are stored and makes a mock up of himself which he throws out into the ocean, securing his secret identity. Changing back into Donald Blake, he begins his daily routine as the renown doctor and surgeon. As he works, he laments over his apparent unrequited love for Jane Foster, unaware that she loves him to a degree — as she loves his alter ego Thor, and fantasizes about being married to the Thunder God.
As fate would have it, captured criminal Thug Thatcher is being taken from a court house by the police when the paddy waggon is attacked by Thatcher’s men. In his bold escape attempt Thatcher takes a bullet and needs instant medical attention. Spotting Blake’s office, Thatcher and his men burst in and take Jane and Donald prisoner, threatening to harm Jane if Donald doesn’t treat Thatcher.
Forced to treat the criminal, Donald attempts to contact his father Odin telepathically to get aid. Sympathetic of his sons plight, Odin causes a lightning strike to hit one of Thatcher’s men causing enough confusion for Blake to recover his walking stick and strike it on the ground changing himself into Thor. Thor makes short work of Thug Thatcher’s men, however Thug and his girlfriend Ruby (who is starting to reconsider her life of crime) make an escape and head straight to Donald Blake’s office where he hopes to use Jane Foster as a hostage to escape recapture.
Thor arrives and is ordered to drop his hammer, as Thug is threatening to kill Jane. Thor complies but then kicks the hammer at Thatcher causing him to drop his gun. Thor then takes Jane to safety allowing for Thug and Ruby to once more flee the scene. Ruby however wishes to give up, but Thug has no such compunctions and escapes up the elevator of a sky scraper construction site. Thor’s attempt to use lightning to stop Thatcher doesn’t work out so well as the metal girders of the building attract the bolts of lightning, however the heat from the lightning strikes compromises the girders integrity, and when Thatcher tries to dump a bucket of hot rivets on the crowd below they give way and he falls.
Thor however captures the crook and turns him over to the authorities, and is granted the request to eliminate all Ruby’s memories of her involvement with Thug Thatcher so that she might start a new life before returning to his civilian guise of Donald Blake.
