Strongest Hero Marvel: Prince of Power against Thor
The God of Thunder, Thor, is confronting Marvel's newest and most definitely strongest hero, the Prince Of Power. With the fate of planets hanging in the balance, this collision of titans promises to be an amazing struggle for dominance. Still, the Prince of Power is getting a makeover, a fresh costume, and a new codename among the cosmic anarchy.
Seeking the Power Stone: Thor
Seeking a cosmic weapon to fight the resurgent Utgard-Gods, Thor has his eye on the Power Stone. Currently housed with the Prince Of Power, a hero trying to control his amazing strength, this relic is an endless source of physical force.
Prince of Power: Tragic Hero
Originally known as Otherone, the Prince of Power first appeared on pages of Al Ewing and Juan Cabal's Guardians of the Galaxy. Based on a planet with sword-and-sorcery, Otherone parodies He-Man and battles alongside his older brother, Majestar. Driven by envy and a need to match his brother's heroic quality, Otherone's yearning drew the Power Stone, which connected with him and endowed superhuman strength. But his unchecked might destroyed his planet, and he carried great guilt.
Origin and Future of Otherone
Otherone and Majestar were manmade, designed with Otherone meant as a backup should Majestar fall. Said literally as "the other one," his name captures his relationship to his legendary brother. Otherone lacks genius even with his great power. Having trained with Blackjack O'Haire, a mercenary friend of Rocket Raccoon, to regulate his skills, he aims to make good in the world. But the arrival of Thor and the Champion Of The Universe, both vying for the Power Stone, throws off his road to atonement.
A Contest of Authority
Former Power Stone user and Champion Of The Universe is renowned for his unmatched might. In one day he once routed the Thing, the Hulk, and Juggernaut. Otherone still has great power now, but he is still learning to control it. Otherone finds himself in terrible danger as Thor and the Champion try to take the Power Stone. This great struggle entwines the fate of the Power Stone with the Prince of Power's atonement.
Otherone's codename and New Look
The Prince of Power's new design for the forthcoming Immortal Thor Annual 2024 #1 strikingly resembles the classic cover of Frank Miller and Lynn Varley's Batman: The Dark Knight Returns. The cover also shows a fresh codename for the character, "Apex," implying a change in his identity and a fresh chapter in his heroic path.
An Other Age for the Prince of Power
Readers will relate to the multifarious character of the tragic hero with a dark past, The Prince of Power. Like Deadpool before him, he is a source of comedy but also carries a great sense of guilt and atonement yearning. His narrative reminds us that everyone—even the most strong people—can battle with their past and aim at atonement. His new codename and outfit mark a change, a stride toward heroism. The Prince of Power's future is yet unknown as he confronts Thor and the Champions. Will he triumph or will his power be denied, leaving him with a residual sense of failure? Time will tell just what.
