eternity later thanks hank pym for saving the potential universe threat
Actually it still is a low showing. Why wouldn't Chthon, a mage, think of protecting himself from effects that would stop him from casting spells. Especially if it was something as simple as stopping/preventing/tampering his speech?
It's sad.
EDIT :
Wait I seem to remember Chthon being in a panic that they were gonna destroy his "source of power" or whatever Wundegore Mountain. If that's so, then Thor or some other world breaker type can pwn him by simply destroying Wundegore Mt.
