The Villains really worked in an incredibly clever fashion!

  • Cobra is able to blind Thor with a special poison that's strong and can affect even Asgardian strength. It seems that it was able to weaken the God of Thunder and then a new threat took the lead, making the situation much worse for Thor.
  • It also brought out Gray Gargoyle, who was able to turn Thor to stone from this sneaky tactic that worked to stop the God of Thunder in its tracks. It's no surprise, everyone's got something unique.
  • In a shocking and decisive blow! Mr. Hyde comes to an end of a Thor's story, by completely crushing Thor's body into pieces.
