History:
(Thor I#460) - Glagg was part of a group of Rock Trolls who visited Asgard and patronized a tavern. Glagg got into an argument with one of the tavern's barmaids, who poured a drink over his head. Glagg went up to the tavern keeper to complain about her behavior, suggesting she should be beaten. The god Thor happeneed to be standing at the bar and warned Glagg he was in a foul mood. Glagg replied by threatening Thor, saying he was rude "for one with no place here." Glagg claimed the tavern catered to warriors, "not spectators." This enraged Thor, who punched Glagg across the room. Glagg's fellow Rock Trolls saw this and although they admitted they didn't like Glagg, they cared even less for Thor and continued fighting him. The clash ended when Odin teleported Thor away from the tavern to be disciplined.
