A pricing discrepancy between an auction listing and the prevailing cleared consensus value across organized exchanges, allowing rapid liquidity capture before market equilibrium reconverges.
In a world where Thor refused to abide by Odin's ploy to remove Jane Foster from his life by offering her godhood but setting her up to fail her test for worthiness, Odin reacts by banishing both Thor and Jane back to Earth, though they retain their immortal forms. Believing Odin to be possessed by madness, Thor enlists the Avengers, Vizier, the Warriors Three, and many other sympathetic Asgardians to fight against him. Odin, knowing the conflict to be a distateful one, brings in Loki, Enchantress, and Executioner to fight it for him. Balder, though conflicted, is compelled to side with Odin by his unwavering loyalty. In the ensuing civil war, Iron Man is the first to break off as it reminds him too much of the ugliness of the Viet Nam war. He goes to Odin to ask for a truce and Odin agrees, but Loki kills Iron Man before he can deliever the message, which only furthers Thor's rage. Loki then has his minion, Igron, use the Lamia Glove to siphon off Odin's power to transfer to himself so that he can finally kill Thor. Wasp flies in to rescue Thor, hoping to distract Loki with a fully-powered sting blast, but she forgets that Vizier powered-up the Avengers in order to combat the gods and the sting accidentally kills Loki, with the stolen Odinforce dying with him. As things become desparate, a vengeful Thor reaches Odin's chamber as he's drawing the Oversword that will condemn the Asgardians to Ragnarok. Just then, Jane intervenes and reminds Thor what he's supposed to be fighting for. Ashamed, the father and son finally talk. The war ends, but Thor still holds a grudge for the lives of Iron Man and Loki, and so leaves Asgard with his followers to build and rule over his own city. The house of Odin continues as a house divided.

Sometimes, the Watcher tells stories from Earth's past, and not only imaginary stories. This time, he tells the story of the Eternals, a race of humans that were genetically modified by aliens to become almost godlike. When their city Titanos is destroyed, brothers Zuras and Alars learn that their father Chronos' experiments have made all Eternals immortal. The experiment has also granted the Eternals the ability to form a single collective mind, the Uni-Brain. Joined together, the Eternals decide that Zuras should be their new ruler, and Alars departs to seek his own destiny.

Odin forbids Thor to marry the mortal Jane Foster. Thor becomes convinced that Odin is under the influence of an evil power and recruits the Avengers in order to invade Asgard. Odin pardons the evil Loki and asks him to command the armies of Asgard. The battle rages on seemingly without end until first Iron Man and then Loki dies. Jane Foster sues for peace between Thor and Odin, but Thor no longer recognizes Odin as his king and builds a city of the gods for himself. Both Odin and Thor live out their lives miserable and separate.
