| Many years ago, Maurglon attacked a young Thor, unaware of who he was, and was surprised when Thor fought back and defeated him. Thor's half-brother Loki then found the unconscious Maurglon and placed him under a spell, and led him back to his own cave where he imprisoned him with the cavern wall, to await some time when Loki could make use of him. |
| As Thor was being tried in Asgard for attacking Tyr, Loki decided to release Maurglon to serve as a diversion, so that Thor would be forced to abandon the trial. Maurglon held little love for Loki, having spent ages trapped within the cavern wall, but still desired another chance to defeat Thor. Loki set him free, and teleported him to earth where he began to run a mock in New York, hoping to draw out Thor. |
