"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.

The "Party Prince Thor" Universe is an alternate reality where Thor, being an only child, grew up to be a careless prince, worrying only over organizing parties across different planets.

History[]

Asgardian-Jotun Friendship[]

When Odin found Jotun Prince Loki abonded, he returned him to his father, King Laufey, much to his delight. This act of goodwill led to peace between the previously warring nations. As they grew up, Loki would eventually become friends with Odin's son, Thor.^[1]

S.H.I.E.L.D.'s Alien Encounter[]

During an alien encounter S.H.I.E.L.D. befriended Captain Marvel, who gave them a modified pager to contact her in cases of emergency before leaving Earth.^[1]

Party Prince Thor[]

Living up in a time of great prosperity and peace for Asgard, Thor would grow up to be quite immature and childish. Alongside his friends the Warriors Three and Sif, Thor would throw outrageous parties from planet to planet all across the universe, dubbing himself the "party prince." In 2008, Thor would end up throwing a party so huge that it would destroy the planet it was hosted on, Alpha Star Icarus.^[1]

Party on Midgard[]

Party in Las Vegas[]

In 2010, Odin falls into the Odinsleep leaving Thor as king of Asgard until he awakes. Frigga leaves Asgard to visit her sister, Gullveig, forbidding Thor from throwing any parties. With Heimdall being instructed to watch him with his all seeing eyes, Thor decides to throw a party on a planet that he never expects Heimdall to look at, Midgard. Thor alerted beings from universe to his plans before he, alongside the Warriors Three and Sif, used the Bifrost Bridge to travel to the planet.

Meanwhile on Midgard, astrophysicist Jane Foster and her intern Darcy Lewis where camping out in the New Mexico desert hoping to detect an Einstein–Rosen Bridge. Foster was began searching for one due to one preceding the destruction of Alpha Star Icarus two years prior. When her scanners finally detected on in the vicinity, Foster attempted to warn S.H.I.E.L.D. about what she believed to be an incoming alien invasion, but they ignored her. Foster and Lewis then saw Thor and company fly by on the Bifrost Bridge before they landed in Las Vegas and greeted the people of Earth.

Foster, alongside Lewis, then travelled to Vegas in hopes of finding the source of these anomalies. There she met Thor, who confirmed her suspicions before hitting on her. Smitten, Foster joined Thor for the party while Lewis hung out with Howard the Duck. Attempting to break up the party, director of S.H.I.E.L.D., Nick Fury, traveled to Vegas. There he tried to speak with Thor, but he blocked by two Einherjar guards before being tackled by Korg, rendering him unconscious and making Maria Hill Acting Director of S.H.I.E.L.D.^[1]

Attack on Thor[]

The next day, Jane Foster woke up in Thor's hotel room with Maria Hill and a group of S.H.I.E.L.D.'s outside her door. They took Foster and Darcy Lewis to Helicarrier, hoping that they knew of someway of getting rid of Thor. Now that she was in love with the prince of Asgard, Foster attempted to talk down Maria Hill but she didn't listen. With Thor's party spreading worldwide, Hill decided to call in Captain Marvel and have her force Thor to stop the party.

In France, Thor greets his best friend Loki before he's confronted by Captain Marvel. She initially tries to resolve things peacefully with Thor but when he refuses to end the party, Captain Marvel uppercuts Thor. The two trade blows back and forth until Thor uses Mjølnir to launch Captain Marvel to Stonehenge. There, Thor destroys most of the structure despite the captain telling him not to. This deeply angers her, leading Captain Marvel to punch Thor so hard he is launched to the United States of America.

Captain Marvel follows him there and the two begin to duel in the desert before Captain Marvel launches Thor up into the sky. They continue their fight up in the clouds, eventually making their way to a giant storm cloud. Due to Thor being the God of Thunder, he uses the storm cloud to his advantage and is able to gain the upper hand over the captain, putting an end to their battle for now.^[1]

Party's Over[]

Due to Captain Marvel's inability to stop Thor, Maria Hill became deeply frustrated with her. Captain Marvel explained to Hill that if she unleashed her full power it could cause massive civilian casualties. This was until they realized that they could lure Thor into a desert, allowing Captain Marvel to neutralize him while harming no innocence lives. Jane Foster attempted to talk them down from killing Thor, but Hill was not receptive to her input and kicked her and Darcy Lewis off the Helicarrier.

Back in Las Vegas, Foster attempted to contact Thor to no but to no avail. Foster then realizes that if Thor and Loki exists, then other beings from Norse mythology must as well. Meanwhile, Captain Marvel captured Thor in Sydney, Australia. Taking Thor to northern Siberia, Captain Marvel continued her attack on Thor while Maria Hill waited in the Helicarrier prepared to drop nukes on Thor if need be.

In Vegas, Foster successfully modified her monitoring equipment so that she could call out to Heimdall. Hearing Foster calling for him, Heimdall brought her to Asgard before sending her to Frigga's location. Upon arriving their, Foster informed Frigga of son's party on Earth. Frigga then used Magic to contact Thor and confront him about his party, interrupting the fight between him and Captain Marvel. Upon being confronted, Thor lied and said he was on Earth for a cultural exchange. Lewis]] off the Helicarrier.

Hoping to catch her son in his lie, Frigga decided to cut her visit to her sister short. With his mother incoming, Thor forced his party guests to help him clean up the planet before she arrived. Luckily for Thor, he was able to clean the planet up and organized a faux study group before his mother arrived. Following Frigga's arrival, Captain Marvel gifted Thor a tablet full of knowledge on Human civilizations. Before he and Frigga departed for Asgard, Thor summoned Mjølnir only to find it covered in various party leftovers, embarrassing himself in front of Frigga.^[1]

Ultron Offensive[]

Attack on Las Vegas[]

Sometime later, Thor would visit Jane Foster and bring her flowers. While Thor initially only asked if he could call Foster, she insisted that they go on a date. Upon deciding on a time, Thor began to leave Foster when a portal opened up and revealed another universe's Ultron and his army of Ultron Sentries.^[1] Ultron had come to this universe to destroy all organic life, much like he did to his home universe.^[2]

In Las Vegas, Thor fought off the Ultron Sentries before being taken by Watcher to join the Guardians of the Multiverse. Upon the Guardians defeat of Ultron, The Watcher returned Thor to this universe. Now back in Vegas, Thor embraced Foster as the destroyed remains of Ultron Sentries lay scattered around them.^[3]

Behind the Scenes[]

• According to The Appendix to the Handbook of the Marvel Universe, a fan run site whose universe designations are approved by Marvel editorial, this universe is designated as Earth-72124.
• According to A.C. Bradley, the Party Prince Thor universe was created to be "be silly and have some fun, and kind of take a breath myself" following the depressing nature of the episodes which appeared in the episodes leading up to What If... Thor Were an Only Child?, where the universe first appeared. Bradley added that she was surprised and felt supported when Kevin Feige and Brad Winderbaum approved the episode.^[4]
• Aspects of the Party Prince Thor universe were inspired by party movies and romantic movies from the 1980s and 1990s, as well as The Hangover.^[4]
• The creators of the first season of What If...? attempted to find a way to include a version of Hela from the Party Prince Thor universe in What If... Thor Were an Only Child? However, they were unable to, and Matthew Chauncey suggested that if Cate Blanchett would return, she deserved her own episode. This led to the creation of the Merciful Hela universe in the second season's episode What If... Hela Found the Ten Rings?^[5]
