There it is!
Finally.
Perhaps you miss heard me
I said Stark Tower is under attack
right now.
Is Iron Man there?
Yes, as are Thor and the Black Panther.
- Who are they fighting? - The Radioactive man.
Agh, can't they fight here? By the pool?
What's the threat level?
- Threat level 2. - I'm sure they got it covered, JARVIS.
Tell Stark that Jan and I will cover the mansion.
In case it's a trick.
And mention that he is out of ice.
What?
Remind me to hurt Hawkeye when we're done here. You ok?
I will be better once we smite this villain.
Who is he?
Radioactive man?
He was a Chinese scientist named Chen Lu.
Apparently he dosed himself with insane levels of radiation.
Trying to get super powers.
He was in the Cube when the breakout happened.
Shield took him down last time.
Yet again you're mortal science creates monsters.
Truly, mans technology cause nothing but harm.
Wow, that's kind of harsh.
I'm starting to think Wasp and Hawkeye are the smart ones.
I did not realize there was any question.
You ok? This guy is putting out a ton of juice.
My suit is designed to with stand radiation.
Of course it is, what was I thinking?
I have had enough villain.
I do not know why you have come here.
And I do not care.
For now you will feel the power of Thor!
Odin's beard! how?
Yeah, focused radiation can
Rip the inertia from an object in motion.
You should try more physics, less fantasy.
That's why he came here.
To the ARC reactor he is absorbing the output.
With that much energy he could well be unstoppable.
Ok, time to send Dr. Chen Lu here back to China.
What is Iron Man doing?
He is creating a localized meltdown.
It will sink the reactor and Radioactive man deep into the earth.
No.
Thor, wait!
Call off your hounds, Elf.
Were you sent to check on me, Enchantress?
I am hurt...
It is if Loki does not trust me...
Loki is no fool, Malekith.
You're own people do not trust you.
Or did not before their untimely demise.
But you would be wise to trust in his power
and to fear it.
For just as Loki released you from the Realm of the dead.
He can send you back.
Show it to me.
Of course, my lady.
As requested
The casket of ancient winters.
But what am I thinking?
Loki would be disappointed in me if I did not make sure this was the true casket.
No! Skurge!
You were right not to trust me, of course.
Now it begins.
I had it under control.
And now there is a million gallons of contaminated water in my basement.
And you would have poisoned Midguard itself by sending Radioactive Man into the ground.
- What are you... - You're love of science makes
you forget the very realm you are trying to protect.
You pay more head to your machines then you heart, Tony Stark.
I...
Thor, you ok?
Nay.
I felt...
I felt magic.
Ancient magic.
Something has happened.
Cold!
Am I crazy?
Or was it a hundred degrees a minute ago?
- Look on the bright side. - Like?
I got nothing.
I hate the cold.
We need to move the team to the West Coast.
- We should probably get dressed. - Good thinking.
In all the nine realms.
Only one thing I know of could cause this.
The casket of ancient winters.
Well, thanks for clearing that up.
The casket is an ancient Asgardian artefact
that contains the infinite cold of Nifelheim.
The realm of the dishonoured dead.
My father Odin hid it long ago.
But only he knew where.
Earth seems a likely location.
You speak wisely, T'Challa.
Midgard is beneath notice to most Asgardians.
This storm will rage for all eternity unless we can find the casket
and close it.
Ok, so I may not know what the heck "magic" is
But I learned to trace its signature.
Except for instance when the entire planet is covered in it.
So, this is your thing.
- How do we find it? - I...
do not know.
Legend tells that only the dead could find it.
Oh, that's just great.
JARVIS, display all weather satellite data for the last hour.
I already looked, T'Challa, there's no pattern. And you, Thor...
You always complain about technology and science creating monsters,
and now some magic box from imagination land has frozen the planet.
Do you really wish to take this path?
How many times have we faced danger created in a lab?
I don't know. But I remember your little blond, Enchantress,
taking down the whole team, twice.
And who was the guy with the axe? another Asgardian?
Oh, right! I remember now.
He was going to chop of my head!
Amora and Skurge will be dealt with.
Oh, so you are on a first name basis with them.
Nice. You should form your own team.
"The crazy magic people"
The casket is in Norway.
- Come again? - You should try more chaos theory,
less failure.
Excuse me, gentleman.
There appears to be trouble inside the city.
What kind of trouble?
It's clobbering time!
Now!
They're everywhere!
Hawkeye, we need to find the others. We need...
Hey, big guy just a...
You left Hulk in the pool!
It froze!
Oh, yeah...
I forgot you were in there.
Iron Man to all Avengers. We got a bead on what's causing this.
Thor, Panther and I are going to deal with it.
I'm just saying it's ironic.
All the complaining about technology,
and now an eternal Asgardian super winter is threatening
to destroy all life on earth.
You have irony, right? In Asgard?
External temperatures are dropping exponentially.
- The engines are seizing. - Indeed, we do have irony.
Just as you are having some right now.
I hate magic!
All I am saying is if your jet cannot handle a little cold weather...
- It can handle it. - Avengers.
Amora!
Greetings, Thunderer.
Fancy meeting you here.
Malekith!
Ok, I'll bite... What's a Malekith?
Malekith the accursed, the master of the hounds.
A dark Elf from the realm of Svartalfheim.
Yeah, that didn't real clear it up.
You and your people were destroyed by the Frost Giants.
How did you come here?
I walk in both worlds now, Odin-son.
The living...
and the dead.
Then I shall send you back where you belong, Elf.
Thor!
What do you want, Malekith?
Why have you released this winter upon the Earth?
I had heard that Thor had turned his back on his father,
choosing this mortal realm over Asgard.
I too wish to make my home here.
I will bring my people back to the land of the living.
In Midgard.
In fact, it has already begun.
The casket's power will destroy you pathetic mortals.
And I will cut off Midgard from the nine realms.
This land will become a new paradise for the dark Elves.
Ruled by me.
But sadly,
you will not be here to see it.
Chilly, is that all you got?
My hounds,
tear them apart!
Panther, watch out!
Jan! Hulk!
Hawkeye!
Panther!
Thor! Thor! Get up!
Metal is bane to the dark Elves.
Iron is his weakness.
Vibranium, seems to work as well.
You dare?
A mortal thinks he can hurt Malekith the accursed?
A mere man?
How about an iron man?
Your armour, has very little iron in it.
You forget your place, dark Elf.
Let me remind you with whom you are dealing.
Your hammer may wield magic.
but I am magic.
I am beyond life and death now.
And with the power of the casket. Nothing can stop me!
Come on, Thor...
Iron Man...
Any time now...
This isn't working.
- How do we stop this guy? - I...
do not know.
In, Wakanda
Science and Mysticism work together,
to accomplish things neither could do alone.
Your lightning!
It is no use, he is too strong now.
My armour, it weakens him.
We can do this!
On my mark, hit me with everything you got.
For Midgard!
What, what happened?
I beat everybody and you guys totally missed it.
Welcome back, Sun!
I...
Thank you, Tony Stark.
Would not have defeated Malekith without you.
Hey, no problem.
My tech was nothing against him.
- I needed... - Together, we...
Whoops, guess we forgot about her...
Amora.
What are you doing here?
Tell me you are not in league with, Malekith!
It will all be over soon...
- What are you doing? - I am opening a portal to Asgard.
The Enchantress must pay for this affront.
- Are you all right? - What happened?
I have been
locked out of Asgard by a power far greater than my own.
I, I cannot go home.
