Synopsis for "The Power and the Pride!"

While out running errands, Hercules and Jarvis come across Matt and Tony and Hercules tells them a tale of his last big fight with Thor. What Hercules doesn't realize is that Matt is a huge Thor fan, and his story doesn't paint Thor in the best light, inadvertently hurting Matt.

Notes

• To make Matt feel better about his hero, Thor, Hercules tells him that Thor got in one punch that was so strong, it knocked Hercules from Manhattan into New Jersey, a place the gods had long forgotten.
