The two come to blows, with a semi getting trashed in the process. Hercules punches a hole in the street so that the two tumble onto the roof of a subway car. After they reach a station, they find a demolition zone where they can finish their "discussion" without hurting anyone. |

While in Asgard, Odin is still furious over Thor's disobedience in first revealing his double identity to Jane and returning to Earth against Odin's wishes. The All-Father then begins thinking of a suitable punishment for his disobedient son. |

| − | Meanwhile, [[Odin Borson (Earth-616)|Odin]] has reached a decision: Thor must be punished for revealing his secret identity to a mortal (Jane) and lose half his strength. Unwilling to mete out justice himself, he transfers the Odin Power to Seidring the Merciless, his favorite councilor, who simply points out of a window to carry out the sentence. |

Their battle eventually leads them to a construction site. As the battle rages, on Asgard, Odin has called forth Seidring the Merciless to exact a punishment on Thor: to gradually drain his strength to half power. In spite of Seidring's reservations, he complies with Odin's wishes, striking Thor with a mystical bolt that will weaken the Thunder God just as Odin commanded. |

| − | Unfortunately for Thor, the loss of power comes at a crucial moment. Hercules topples an empty building onto him. His hammer, [[Mjolnir]], saves him, but only barely. A final blow from Hercules drops Thor. The God of Thunder is beaten! A crowd gathers, and the talent scout (seen in previous issue) offers again to put Hercules in pictures; this time he accepts. Jane goes to Thor. Distraught, he tells her that he must regain his honor and is unworthy of her. As he trudges away, Odin (magically) tells her to follow. |

However, Hercules realizes that Thor has been weakened and no longer desire to fight an inferior foe. Angered by this, Thor continues his fight even though his strength is at a low ebb. In trying to defeat Hercules, Thor lifts a heavy construction vehicle and finds that his strength is insufficient to keep the device aloft, prompting Hercules to kick it out of his hands, Thor then collapses to the ground. |

Feeling the rejection, Thor is confronted by Jane Foster who says that she only went to lunch with Hercules to make Thor jealous and that she is true to the Thunder God. Feeling that he has lost honour in the face of this defeat, Thor leaves Jane telling him he will not return to her until he has restored it in his eyes. |
