10 Things You Didn't Know About The Mighty Thor

10. Not The First Female Thor

Jane Foster was not the first woman to wield Mjolnir. Ororo Monroe, the X-Man known as Storm, normally had natural weather-controlling powers that rival and even surpassed those of Thor. However, there was a period that those powers had been briefly stolen by one of Forge’s devices. In Uncanny X-Men Annual #9, the team found themselves in Asgard, and Loki created the hammer Stormcaster that returned Storm’s powers. Years later, Storm picked up Mjolnir to destroy Stormcaster and break its evil influence.

In Captain Marvel #16’s “Last Avenger” storyline, Carol Danvers was forced by Kree villain Vox Supreme to bring him the bodies of the deceased Avengers. If she refused, he would detonate bombs hidden in the Kree refugee camps, killing thousands. Captain Marvel tricked the Vox Supreme by giving him clone bodies but he planned to use even these bodies to make an army. Carol accidentally spilled a chemical on herself that infused the personalities of her former teammates to her, allowing her to pick up Mjolnir and fight her enemy.

On Earth 21923, Danielle Cage, the daughter of Luke Cage and Jessica Jones, had grown up and become Captain America. Currently, she was helping Old Man Logan save Bruce Banner Jr. from the evil Weapon X Program. In Dead Man Logan # 11, Danielle was shot and lands on a long-dormant Mjolnir. The hammer stirred and Dani took up the hammer to become that world’s new Thor.
