Synopsis for "A World Gone Mad"
Thor returns to Earth and decides to renounce his godly heritage, and tell Jane everything so he can marry her. Elsewhere, two museum curators are examining something discovered at the bottom of the Hudson. Only it's the Grey Gargoyle. He turns the men to stone, then flees. In Asgard, Odin has witnessed what Thor has done, and removes his powers entirely. When Blake tries to change, nothing happens. Just then, Grey Gargoyle breaks in, wanting to know where Thor is. Balder and the other Asgardians plan to help Thor, but with him now being in Odin's favor, Loki stops them, except for one. The Grey Gargoyle continues to chase Jane and Don throughout the city, until that Asgardian grants Blake the power of Thor for 30 seconds. Thor fuses Grey Gargoyle's mass together so he cannot, move, then transforms back. Honir then returns to Odin, where Odin decides that Thor shall keep his power.

Synopsis for "Tales of Asgard - The Boyhood of Loki"
A ten-year old Thor watches a tournament with Loki when Thor predicts the winner. This incenses Loki as Thor is always right. Loki purposely wagers on the poorer fighter and then casts a spell he learned from the Norn witch women to make the more skillful combatant's quarterstaff shatter when Loki's behind Thor's back. The fighters realize they've been hexed and accost young Loki. Thor demands why do they only address themselves to his brother and they answer that they know Thor would never stoop to such a deed. Nevertheless, Thor insists, I was at Loki's side during the tourney and any punishment meted out ought to be shared by the two of us. Impressed by Thor's nobility, the fighters let the youths go on their way, although with ill forebodings about the destiny of Loki. When they're alone, Thor reveals that he was aware of Loki's trickery and admonishes him that it was foolish of him to interfere in the tournament. But the matter is quickly forgotten by Thor as the two of them take up riding practice and Thor offers to race Loki to the bridge. "Why should I?" Loki responds, "You've got the faster horse." To which Thor replies "The speed of the horse is not the only factor, but also the skill of the rider." Thor stays close to his brother to give him an even chance, but Loki broods darkly over the day's events. He wants the power that will force others to bow and scrape before him as they do before his "beloved" brother, Thor, and he realizes that some day Thor will have to be destroyed.
