The event begins by slash Tony into an unsung existence , only aware that he ’s not in Kansas anymore . Not to mention the fact that he is staring down some   saber - toothed computerized axial tomography upon his arrival ( why does n’t he blast them with his repulsors ? We do n’t know , maybe Iron Man ’s a bozo lover … or does n’t require to cause a ripple affect across sentence . Even betting odds ) . Given the frozen terrain and the less than favorable welcome party , Iron Man deduces that he ’s been clip fire as a result of tampering with a " doohickey " ( technical term ) that was prod followingthe largerWar of the Realmsevent . Just   as Iron Man is about to be torn open like a can of tuna , Mjolnir comes flying in save him .

Naively , Iron Man assumes that Thor has follow to the rescue . But the reveal leaves Iron Man ( and the reader ) with more questions than before … since the god wielding the hammer is n’t Thor , but his father Odin . AyoungOdin , fence by histeam of prehistorical Marvel heroes – the1,000,000 BC Avengers !

A man with nuclear explosions going off behind him in The Far Side.

To exhibit just how much time we ’re talking , this adaptation of Odin does n’t even know the name ' Thor ' when Tony brings him up . At this point in the Marvel Universe , Thor is nothing but a sparkling in Odin ’s eye ( both of them , actually ) . Not to mention how many years Odin still has before he parts way with the Phoenix - Force - possessed cleaning woman he ’s presently in love with , and eventually finds his futureQueen Freyja , All - Mother of Asgard .   These Avengers of 1,000,000 BC have been teased sinceMarvel Legacy # 1 , where fans construe them in action mechanism against a pathological Celestial that had fall to Earth . The team seemed at the meter to be part of writer Jason Aaron ’s attempt to meander Celestials into the textile of Marvel ’s Earth – including go Avengers HQ to   the all in eubstance of a Celestial at the north pole – but is obviously far more important .

The team ( seen above ) is comprised ofa Mjolnir wield Odin , untold aeon before he blow over the weapon to Thor . A cave womanhood who is the first to be possessed by the Phoenix Force ( after Aaron revealedWolverine and Thor will be itsfinalhosts ) . Add in the first and undeniablythe nerveless version of Ghost Riderwho rides a flaming mammoth , a caveman with the mark of Starbrand ( of a Hulk - ish nature),the very first female   Iron Fist ,   Black Panther , and Agamotto the original Sorcerer Supreme .

Iron Man has some explain to do , or he might have to face off against Odin and these Mightiest Heroes of Midgard . But if anyone in Marvel ’s prehistorical world knows how to travel forwards through sentence … you ’re bet at them .
