Thor is Bringing Odin Back For One Final Battle

Warning! Spoilers ahead for Thor #12 from Donny Cates and Nic Klein

Odin is back. In the latest issue of Marvel Comics’ Thor, the God of Thunder and newly crowned King of Asgard has been trapped in a realm underneath Asgard’s World Tree, a dimension meant for his alter-ego Donald Blake. However, Blake is now free, which is not a good thing. Having grown insane and homicidal, Blake has been hunting down anyone who’s ever wielded the power of Thor and Odin, stealing their power in the Odin-Force for himself. Now, Thor #12 sees the Valkyrie Jane Foster searching for the one being who might be able to set things right, as he was the one responsible for Blake’s creation and bond to Thor in the first place: Odin, the original All-Father himself.

Donald Blake has already claimed the power of a few Thors already, wounding Beta Ray Bill and brutally killing Roger “Red” Norvell. However, he decided to pass on killing Jane Foster (once the Mighty Thor) given their history and her kindness to him. He then went in search of others, but Blake soon met his match with the combined might of the Frog Thor Throg and the teleporting dog known as Lockjaw. While the two “Pet Avengers” knocked him out and tried to bring him to Doctor Strange, Blake awoke and proved himself to have become too powerful for the Sorcerer Supreme, while also learning about the source of the Odin-Force itself: The World Tree.

Now, Blake is trying to cut down the World Tree in Thor #12 from writer Donny Cates with art by Nic Klein. Combined with Donald Blake’s banishment of all of the gods from Asgard, his sinister and drastic actions demand an equally epic response. As such, Valkyrie ventures out into the stars, searching for Odin, the original All-Father, Thor’s father, and previous King of Asgard. Not only that, but Donald Blake’s entire existence is the result of Odin himself, making him directly responsible in Jane Foster’s mind.

When Odin was last seen in the present of the Marvel Universe, he and his wife were leaving Thor’s coronation. However, it seems as though Odin may be having a challenging retirement in the days since, seeing as how Jane finds him alone in an alien bar, very drunk. Jane Foster demands that Odin sober up so he can fix things with Donald Blake, blaming the entire scenario squarely on his shoulders, and she’s not wrong either. Odin created Blake from the Odin-Force itself, letting him believe that he was a real human mortal. When Thor didn’t have need of him, Odin created the previously mentioned realm beneath the World Tree for Blake to reside, which was meant to be a paradise. However, as soon as Blake discovered his true nature it became a gilded cage, leading to his insanity and desire for revenge.

It seems as though the less and less Thor needed his alter-ego in Marvel Comics, Odin should have created some sort of plan for Blake to be freed and given the opportunity to live out his own life. However, Odin forgot about the mortal life he had created for his son, leading to the horrors that have now been unleashed in the current Thor run from Donny Cates and Nic Klein. Now, Odin can make up for his mistakes by coming out of retirement for one final battle (whether he wants to or not). It’s doesn’t seem like he’s particularly busy at the moment.
