Editing Alpha Flight (Hybrid 70) (section)

==='''Jefferson Pierce/Magni'''===

In a far-off region of space lies Asgard, home to a people of great might whose mastery of both technology and magic so advanced as to be indistinguishable led the humans they first made contact with to take them as gods. One such Asgardian was Thor, who wielded the mighty hammer Mjolnir. His might was matched only by his pride, and for his foolish behaviour his father cast him out of Asgard to Earth, sealing his powers into Mjolnir such that only the worthy could lift the hammer. Over the course of his life on Earth, Thor learned humility and developed a true noble spirit, but he never found the hammer that would allow him to return to his homeland.

Centuries later, Thor’s father still ruled over Asgard in his great age, the last of the royal family. Yet on Earth, the blood of Thor lived on in his descendants. Eventually, the fateful day came when one such descendant discovered his birthright Mjolnir, and with it the vast powers of Thor. According to official records, he is named Jefferson Pierce, but in truth he is Magni, rightful king of Asgard, and the day of his return approaches.
