Marvels Super Hero Adventures: Frost Fight

Midgard rejects your frozen villainy, ymir,

ice giant of niffleheim.

The ice will silence you, Thor odinson.

Yeah. Less talk, more rock, goldilocks.

Speak not to me of battle tactics, hulk.

I have fought more...

Here's my question: Why is an ice giant on monuriki island?

I mean, it's not really an ice-friendly location, like, say, someplace cold.

By the way, ice is the perfect weapon

because it melts and leaves no evidence.

Saw that in a movie, i think.

What was that movie?

Cap, you know what I'm talking about.

Stay on task, iron man.

We need to find that casket before it's opened.

Eternal winter in a box? Nope, not seeing it.

Would long summer on a stick work?

Ymir and the casket of ancient winters

are as powerful as they are old, iron man.

Trifle with them at your peril.

I'm not trifling, hammer-time. I'm judging.

Glacier-to-go may be big, strong,

and handy when the fridge breaks,

but even popsicles know to stay in the shade.

So why is he here? And how did he get here?

I don't know. This doesn't add up. Something's off.

And you're off to join it.

Whoa! Iron man just became iron rocket!

Is he okay? Should I tag in? 'Cause I can tag in.

Negative, reptil.

You're here to observe as a trainee.

That's what you do on a ride-along.

Technically, it's more of a fly-along.

And I can just power dive into a--

do not engage, reptil.

Check on the boats out there. That's an order.

Boats. Yes, sir.

Don't go too far, kid. We're about to wrap this up.

Cap, I have a visual on the casket. It's in permafrosty's hand.

You make him drop it, captain marvel. I'll recover it.

Operation fumble is a go.

Time to make some ice scream.

Get it? It's a play on words.

Not bad, hulk. I mean, for you.

Snowball, corner pocket.

Who do you...

What did I do during the best ice monster beach brawl ever?

Boat check.

Wait. That looks like...

Loki.

Guys, it's reptil. I think I just spotted--

a little busy right now, son.

I know, but you've really gotta hear this.

About to lose ya.

Well, he did say, "check on the boats," so...

Tagging in!

Drop the scepter, loki.

"Drop the scepter, loki," or what?

Or I'll-- I, uh...

Just drop it.

It's a fair question, childasaurus.

Perhaps you should return when you can answer it.

It's over, loki, one way or the other.

Yes, even the best-laid plans of immortals go awry,

thanks to your friends.

At least we can agree on that!

Hole in the sky!

I'm trying to remember all the positives of a big hole in the sky.

Nope. There are none.

Okay, cap. Got a plan for this nightmare?

Cap? Cap?

Aah!

Where are you, pesky flea?

You can't hide.

Enough ice follies.

Need to secure the casket, and the kid.

Well, I'm afraid this is where you and I part ways, pre-hero.

I, to a new beginning,

and you, to oblivion.

Whoa! I'll tag out now. Anybody want in? No?

Wait. I can fly.

I can out-flap this skynado, no problem.

Is there any way to do this without hugging?

This hug is saving your life.

Then I'd rather perish. As would I.

Stop complaining and hug for your life!

There it is.

Okay, I've got the casket.

Now let's focus on...

A much bigger problem.

Whoa.

Incoming, me! Gotcha!

Oh, hey, cap. Mystical vortex troubles?

Funny, we were just discussing that very topic.

Hulk has an interesting theory.

No-o-o-o!

Had enough, skynado?

Reptil! He's out cold.

Don't worry. I got this. Kid!

Wake up! Yeah, no good.

Hey, hulk, how about a little help?

Wake u-u-up!

Was that hulk?

Whoa-oa-oa-oa!

Hey, check it out. I'm still alive.

Yeah! We did it!

And I just invented dino-boarding.

Uh-oh.

And dino-crashing.

And full-body dino-trauma.

Reptil, you alive?

For my encore, I will pass out.

The metal one spoke truth.

The island's warmth made me weak.

It was a poor plan.

It was you that failed, not my plan.

You were to open the casket of ancient winters

in a remote location so as to avoid detection.

Instead, it was a wasted trip.

The meddlers were fortunate.

That may be, but Thor delivers the casket

to asgard for safekeeping as we speak.

Our new path to conquest must crush all heroic obstacles.

I know a way.

You have an idea? How refreshing.

Apologies, lord of ice. Please continue.

I tell the tale of jolnir.

Oh, stop. I've heard this tale.

Jolnir is a silly legend.

His kind and generous winter antics are a fairy tale

to amuse asgardian children and gullible frost giants.

It's utter nonsense.

No. Jolnir is nearly as ancient as I am,

and just as real.

Part frost giant, part elf,

jolnir was born with immense power.

But instead of using that power to rule,

he squandered it on helping those

too young and weak to help themselves--

children.

Today, jolnir is better known

as Santa claus.

And each winter, he brings gifts

to all the children of the nine worlds ho ho ho ho ho ho!

In one night.

Such a monumental feat is impossible

to all but him.

Such power.

And if we could harness that power,

none on earth could resist.

Yes, I am well aware of Santa claus.

Santa claus is beloved, celebrated.

Songs are sung in his name.

Hmm? Using him to dominate

the very beings that adore him...

Well, that is just too devious to resist.

I guess there's more to you than snow and ice, after all, ymir.

But where will we find him?

If the stories are true, he makes his home in alfheim,

home of the light elves.

Ugh, elves. Of course. I should've known.

But if he's as powerful as you say,

how could we usurp that power?

We lost one casket.

But there is another--

the casket of ancient powers.

It can transfer even the greatest abilities

from one being to another.

And, like jolnir,

it too resides in alfheim.

A new path.

Misinformation and a reward

should flush jolnir into the open

while we seek the casket of ancient powers.

If no one else finds him, we will.

And then we will claim his power.

Yes. The hunt is on for Santa claus.

But first, a distraction for our heroic friends.

Huh?

Hm. You'll do.

Remember your footwork. Again.

Again.

Am I still in trouble for going after loki on my own?

You're not in trouble. You're in training to join this team someday.

And that won't happen if you don't learn teamwork.

I tried to tell you. I just...

I wanted you to believe in me.

I figured if I catch loki-- boom, I'm in the game.

But you don't act alone when you're part of a team.

So you're on the bench.

Going a little hard on him, aren't you?

He showed guts. Guts count too.

Only when they're paired with brains.

Aw, lighten up, cap. He stepped up to loki, and he's still here.

Gold star for that.

Did young cap take no for an answer?

Did young any of us? No.

And we all made mistakes.

Mistakes I'm trying to help him avoid.

He'll learn from the mistakes.
