History
The armor was later stored away in the Temple of Darkness that was discovered by Loki who used it against Thor. (Journey into Mystery v1 #118) However, the Destroyer began to indiscriminately attacked anything in its path leading to Loki fearing for his own safety and that of Asgard. Thus, Loki contacted Karnilla in order to get her to awaken Odin from the Odinsleep whereupon the Allfather collapsed the temple seemingly burying the Destroyer under the rubble. (Journey into Mystery v1 #119)
In the aftermath, Jane Foster acquired the power of Mjolnir becoming Thor secretly with none knowing her true identity. This caused Allfather Odin enraged at a usurper taking the hammer and he intended to reclaim it. Thus, he had his brother Cul Borson who had been appointed Asgard's Minister of Justice to recover Mjolnir. To do this, Cul animated the Destroyer armor with his mind and battled the female Thor until numerous heroes along with Asgardians came to support her. This caused Odin to order the Destroyer to retreat rather then continue the battle. (Thor v4 #7)
