Jane Foster becomes Thor we explained
how we are kicking off Women's History
Month so I want to make sure we hit this
awesome question from at Mad ox how does
Jane Foster become Thor well thanks for
asking
indeed Jane Foster became Thor in the
comics and we're gonna break down how
the heck that could even happen but be
warned mortals there are stories
spoilers yes so the simple answer is
Thor becomes unworthy of wielding melee
now how does that happen well during the
comic book event original sin Nick Fury
gains be Watchers eyes so he knows all
the Marvel used secrets and he loves
secrets Nick very big fan of Secrets
he eventually whispers something to
Thor's ear and boom Thor drops his
hammer can't lift anymore now it turns
out Ryan's gonna dig this he whispered
into Thor's ear Gore was right that's of
course referring to go or the dog butch
oh gosh yes exactly because he believes
God's ruined the universe they're
unworthy of the love of mortals they're
unworthy of good because they just keep
causing upheaval in the universe so it
turns out he was right and gods are not
worthy we know that inscription on the
hammer whosoever holds this hammer if
they be worthy shall have the power of
Thor so if you're not worthy no lifting
no hammy
goodbye egg Thor spine he gets his last
name Odin son back he gets his old axe
yarn yarn which is fun to say that's how
you say it young Thor is fine don't
worry about that Thor because there's no
Thor in town okay
but how does it happen right so what
happens to me older in all of this if
he's off using yarn barn well the hammer
summoned the next worthy person who was
that person
Jane flip
and foster that's who we all know Jane
Foster from her long history especially
in Thor storylines she was an
on-and-off-again sort of love interest
she's helped out the Asgardian people
helping them relocate when Asgard was
destroyed and she's been a doctor in the
Marvel Universe so now she has the
hammer right so she's like I gotta take
up all of the duties of Thor because
that's what a good Thor would do but sad
moment get tense
she's also battling cancer so here's the
thing she continues to answer the call
of Thor but doing that pushes the chemo
drugs out of her body and so literally
being Thor is killing her yeah it's
rough but listen to this she's an
incredible Thor she fights hard and she
doesn't at her expense of her own life
and think about who she has to put her
life on the line against she teams up
with the all mother Freya and they go
against the two top jerks in all of
Asgard Odin and his brother Cole Boursin
there's two jerks forward she also goes
up against Loki Malekith frost giants
Dark Elves
Hydra the freakin nigh unstoppable man
GOG who is one of my faves he's great
all of them guess what for throughout
all this she has to put down a hammer
right and so she does to stop being Thor
oh she's gonna die she knows this one
last time she picks up the hammer
knowing that it will kill her and she
does it to save everybody because she's
awesome thankfully she is rewarded by
becoming Valkyrie so not only does she
for everything she Bal curries
everything as well and honestly being a
Valkyrie is so freaking awesome because
they are some of the most badass warrior
women that exist they get to write of
Pegasus you ride them with swords
hitting the high notes just their homes
honestly they're the cooler it's so
