Part 2:"Flight to the Future"

Thor travels to the year 2262 in this story.

Synopsis:
300 years in the future, peace has replaced war. Zarrko, a scientist, seeks to gain power by bringing weapons of the past to his own time. The scientist uses a time machine to travel back to 1962 where he steals a cobalt bomb from under the combined noses of Thor and the U.S. military. He then escapes back to his own time period.

Thor seeks help from Odin, who grants him the power to travel into the future. Thor arrives in 1962 and gathers information on Zarrko. He then infiltrates the scientists lair with the help of a decoy. Zarrko tries several times to defeat Thor, but he fails. Zarrko is injured in a crash and loses his memory. Thor retrieves the bomb and returns with it back to his own time.
