"He discovered that there were universes stacked on top of his own..."
The subject of this article comes from an alternate universe connecting to the main timeline of the Marvel Cinematic Universe. This universe is designated by the Marvel Cinematic Universe Wiki as "Australian Resident Thor".

Darryl Jacobson is Thor's former roommate and reluctant teammate, who was also the roommate of the Grandmaster following Thor's departure.

Biography[]

Meeting Thor[]

Thor decided to take some time off and went to Australia, where he and Jacobson began rooming together. While they had a mostly amicable relationship, Jacobson was often annoyed or inconvenienced by things such as Thor leaving his hammer in the middle of a room, making it impossible for Jacobson to sweep or Thor showing up at his place of work.

Jacobson also helped Thor send emails to Tony Stark and Steve Rogers, learning of secrets Thor was keeping for Rogers.[1]

When the time to pay rent came around, Thor attempted to pay with Asgardian currency, but Jacobson said that it was worthless, despite Thor insisting that each coin is worth "a bazillion human dollars." Jacobson suggested that Thor get a job, but Thor simply laughed the idea off, saying that saving the world was his job. Thor instead insisted on hiring a servant, so he hired Shane, much to Jacobson's disappointment.[3]

Meeting the Grandmaster[]

"My last housemate left, uh, all of a sudden, but, fortunately, through my work, a position came up in Los Angeles, so I needed to find a new housemate."
"Hello."
"The Grandmaster was the only one who answered my Craigslist ad."
―Darryl Jacobson and the Grandmaster[src]

Without warning, Thor left, leaving Darryl without a roommate. Darryl eventually took up a position in Los Angeles, and put out an ad looking for a new roommate. However, his call was answered only by the Grandmaster, who Darryl initially believed to simply be an eccentric, "Hollywood-type" person; Darryl soon realized that the Grandmaster was actually an alien. As roommates, Darryl introduced the Grandmaster to many mundane earthly things, including toast, which fascinated him. The Grandmaster also forced Darryl to wear the armor of his old servant, Topaz, as well as doing all their chores.

Initially, Darryl thought he was charming, though he was also nervous about the Grandmaster's temper. Darryl was forced to help the Grandmaster as, taking a liking to Earth, he began plans of world domination, including recording a video of the Grandmaster announcing this to post to YouTube. Constant fear of being melted had Darryl begin to miss having Thor as his roommate.[4]

The Snap[]

In 2018, Darryl survived the Snap while many of his co-workers disappeared, resulting in him working overtime in their place. He sent his former roommate a birthday video, in which he detailed the dysfunction that followed in his workplace.[2]

Personality[]

Jacobson was a person who was often stressed by the actions of his roommates, particularly Thor, as he was trying to simply live life with his office job. He kept his head down at work and did not like the attention being drawn to him by Thor's presence in the office. He got frustrated with Thor leaving MjĂžlnir and dragging him into his conflicts. He was further annoyed by Thor's refusal to pay rent and the hiring of Shane as a servant. He was also a compassionate individual who was able to convince Grandmaster to take responsibility for the death of David Richardson.
