MARVEL BECOMES THOR IN WOMEN
The stocky, masculine, bearded god of lightning, hammer in hand, first appeared on a Marvel adventure at 1962.
He has also starred in two blockbuster movies, starring Chris Hemsworth. But his only special ability, until now, was to hold the Mjölnir hammer.
"The inscription on the hammer of says 'Whoever holds this hammer, if HE is worthy, will possess the power of Thor'; it's time to update that entry, "says editor Wil Moss, on the official Marvel site.
According to legend in Norse mythology, Anyone who holds the hammer can be Thor. With this premise Marvel approaches the world of comics and adventures to the female audience, women and girls.
The classic Thor is no longer able to hold the powerful Mjölnir hammer, so a new heroine emerges, worthy of the name of Thor.
This is the most shocking change that has produced Marvel, as it affects one of the three most followed and read icons of all times: Captain America, Iron Man and Thor.
Writer Jason Aaron emphasizes, “It's not Thora. It is not Lady Thor, it is not Thorita. It's THOR. She is the Thor of the Marvel Universe. But he doesn't look like any Thor we've ever seen before.
As announced by writer Jason Aaron, Thor will not be a female version of another dimension, it will simply be Thor, the Goddess of Thunder.
