Thor: Love And Thunder - 9 Things From The Comic You Need To Know

9. The Odinson Becomes Unworthy

Jane Foster's ascendency to the mantle of Thor was only made possible by the Odinson losing the title. Two Thors cannot exist at once, after all, and so in the build up to the then latest chapter in Aaron's stint on the character, the God of Thunder was made unworthy. This came in the pages of Original Sin, where Nick Fury - now a cosmic being known as 'the Unseen' - whispered an uncomfortable truth in Thor's ear, one that would remain a closely guarded sequel for over three years.

The aftermath saw the God of Thunder unable to lift Mjolnir, as the enchantment on the hammer ensured that anyone deemed unworthy wouldn't be able to use its power. Thor had grappled with his destiny to lift his hammer for thousands of years, and it was effectively wrenched from him with but a couple of words. (It's also important to note that, while it's pretty much impossible for the MCU to replicate this moment exactly, Chris Hemsworth's Thor is already on his way to being considered unworthy.)

Aaron and Dauterman's comic then begins with the God of Thunder despondent on the moon, dejected at the fact he's no longer fit for his own title. The Odinson remains in this depressive state for months to come, but eventually comes to understand his new place as an 'Unworthy Thor', before eventually reclaiming the hammer years later.

It doesn't go smoothly at first though. When he first sees this new Thor, he deems her an imposter and a thief, and vows to uncover her identity to reclaim his birthright.
