Marvel Origins #40
In "Titanenkampf!", Thor gains the upper hand in his battle against Absorbing Man, but the fight takes a surprising turn when Loki, fearing Creel’s defeat, brings him to Asgard. There, Thor rescues Jane Foster from a smoke-filled room, only for his transformation into Dr. Blake to be captured on camera by reporter Harris Hobbs—threatening to expose his secret unless he’s taken to Asgard. Meanwhile, Creel faces Odin, who unleashes cosmic energy that the villain absorbs, setting off a dangerous chain of events. Written by Stan Lee and Marc-Oliver Frisch, with dynamic art by Jack Kirby and inks by Vince Colletta, and a striking cover by Kirby and Sol Brodsky, this 2025 issue delivers high-stakes action and escalating tension in the heart of the Marvel mythos.
