Loki, in his eternal quest of jealous vengeance toward his brother Thor, came up with one grand scheme to replace the God of Thunder with a notably less suitable "hero". Claiming to be Wade Wilson's father, the trickster awarded the mercenary Deadpool with a rather remarkable Mjolnir facsimile, granting him the powers and abilities of Thor! Later breaking free of Loki's thrall and cursed to look like "Thom Cruz", he battled Thor himself to protect the entity Death. About to be soundly defeated, he and his false hammer were whisked away to Valhalla for a Traitor Game!
