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.
