Marvel Origins #54

In "Rigel: Wohin kein Gott sich wagen soll!", Thor finds himself on the distant planet Rigel, the homeworld of Tana Nile, after being brought there by a captured alien vessel. With Earth in peril and the "Space Grasp" threatening to tear it from the solar system, Thor must push through relentless resistance—including a seemingly unstoppable "Unzerstörbaren" sent by the colonists—only to be confronted by the planet's High Commissioner, who reveals a greater threat: the encroaching Black Galaxy, a menace that endangers both Rigel and Earth.

In "Das schwarze Ross des Todes!", Thor and his companions rest after defeating Harokin’s hordes, but the battle is far from over—Harokin, mortally wounded, awaits the arrival of the Black Horse of Death, a spectral steed that will carry him to Hela’s realm. The story unfolds in quiet dread, where the weight of fate rides on a single, ominous figure emerging from the mist.

In the depths of the black galaxy, where no traveler has returned alive, Thor confronts Ego—the living planet—whose consciousness has long awaited him. Drawn into a clash of cosmic wills, Thor must face not just a planet-sized entity, but an intelligence that sees him as a greater threat than the colonizers who sent him. Written by an unnamed author and illustrated by an unnamed interior artist, this 16-page tale from *Marvel Origins #54* (2025) pits god against planet in a battle of scale and spirit, recorded by an unseen observer.

In "Die Menschenzüchter!", Thor returns to a restored Earth after the Kolonisatoren fulfill their promise, only to discover Jane Forster has vanished—sent on a journey she didn’t choose. With a mysterious tracker left behind by Tana Nile, Thor follows her trail to Wundagore, where she’s now in the grasp of the High Evolutionary, unaware of the forces already moving through the cosmos.

In "Die Worte des Drachen!" from Marvel Origins #54, Thor and his companions search the frozen ruins of Nastrond on Odin’s command. During a quiet watch, Volstagg is awakened by an ancient stranger who promises him forbidden knowledge—only to realize too late that the man is the dragon Fafnir, the former ruler of the land, now risen from the ice.

When Thor's distraction allows the High Evolutionary to misstep, a monstrous entity known as the Man-Beast erupts from a failed experiment—evolved millions of years beyond nature, driven by a hatred for all life. Now, with the New Men, Thor, and Jane Forster in his path, this ancient predator is set on destruction.
