Synopsis:
Loki schemes to destroy his hated stepbrother by using a magical potion to grant incredible, matter-duplicating powers to an incarcerated mortal criminal named Crusher Creel. Transformed into the unstoppable Absorbing Man, Creel escapes custody and locks into a brutal, earth-shaking battle with the God of Thunder, matching the physical strength of Thor's mystical hammer blow for blow.
