Plot
Midtown High students have taken a field trip to the museum where Phil Coulson informs the class of a tablet that originated from Asgard. Peter, however, exclaims he hates field trips and recalls unenjoyable memories as Ava, Luke, Danny, and Sam start staring at the tablet. Danny translates the tablet and it grows brighter until releasing a Frost Giant. Coulson quickly clears the room of witnesses and the team transform into their alias. The team struggle to work as one as their different fighting styles contradict one another. Eventually, they are saved by the arrival of Thor, whose arrogance rebuffs the young ones help. Mjolnr knocks out the Frost Giant as Spider-Man and the team fight to tell Thor of their strong teamwork.
Thor leaves the conversation and notes an amulet around the Frost Giant. Howevr, Spider-Man tells him not to touch it as his Spider Sense rings. Thor's pride and arrogance proves his undoing as the mere touch of the amulet transforms him into a frog. Blaming his brother Loki, Thor decides to travel to Asgard but Spider-Man forces him to swallow his pride and let him and his team help. Thor reluctantly agrees and they arrive at one of the nine worlds. The six are appalled to see Asgard completely cover in ice and are ambushed by seven Frost Giants. One by one, they are each frozen and imprisoned.
Inside the palace, the five heroes are encased in ice while Loki has Mjolnr and Thor in seperate green bubbles. Iron Fist looks for the cage's weak spot as Loki boasts about allying with the Frost Giants to raise Thor's pride to utilize as his weakness and then kill Odin once he manages to break open the doors to his room. Iron Fist and Power Man break the weak spot and the heroes attack. However, Loki and the Frost Giants prove too powerful and Thor, reluctantly, flees with the team. They arrive in the outskirts where Thor chides himself that a god should not run, but Spider-Man tells him that they had or they'll have been killed.
The team then ask if there is anyone who could help them in Loki's defeat which Thor responds there is one. He takes them to a cave where Master Dwarf, forger of Mjolnr, resides. Thor pleads his assitance, but he declines by stating that Thor and the other only visited to get stuff and not say thank you. Spider-Man then tells Thor to challenge his pride and he reluctantly says sorry and that Master Dwarf was far better than he was credited. Obviously pleased, Master Dwarf agrees to aid the heroes. Loki gloats in his victory as the door starts to crack, but Mholnr spins in sight revealing Thor, but unfazed, Loki exclaims he cannot be beated until the heroes arrive and, except Spider-Man, with new weapons.
Each member of the team battles with their respective weapon while embracing and utilizing Master Dwarf's advice. Spider-Man finally takes command and leads his team and the Frost Giants are defeated. Loki opens the door, but Spider-Man blocks his path and tricks him into transforming Thor. Thor then grabs Loki, but the latter flees with swearing revenge on Spider-Man. Thor reassures the group that Odin is still alive and sleeping before taking them back to Earth. Thor claims them heroes and rewards them with a two-headed goat which bites Spider-Man's hand.
