Thor's already back!

[Johnny Blaze]

Did Wanda punch a wall to bring him back?

He's not back yet. The first brick in the (possible) path to his return just got put into place is all.

 

[The Punisher]

Cool news about Thor. I'll pick up the FF issue tomorrow.

So Wanda built some sort of tower to bring him back?

nope the reverberations from superboy prime's pounding reach the marvel universe.

weak cop out that doom couldn't lift the hammer and then just hightails it out of there. biggest let down. i was ready for him to go mighty on the f4, i figured thats how we get to the whole death in the family special. but nice touch with the mysterious blonde stranger at the end.

o and it was explained how the hammer comes back. when doom escaped hell, he was opening up dimensional barriers that cut through beyond time and space, where, conveniently enough, mjolnir was sitting.

 

[Unleashed]

Doom escaped hell BECAUSE Mjolnir opened up dimensional barriers, not the other way around

 

[Spectre722]

Doom escaped hell BECAUSE Mjolnir opened up dimensional barriers, not the other way around

oops my bad.

 

[Unleashed]

I wanted to see what Doom would look like if he picked up the hammer

 

[deathshead2]

Why doesn't Beta ray go to where thors hammer is. He can pick it up?

 

[Unleashed]

Where is Beta Ray?

 

[deathshead2]

New York has a homeless black man. Im surpried Spider-man didn't ask him to join the New avengers yet. I also thought he would go looking for Thor but he hasn't. You would think he would have heard of all the weird stuff happing. Hopefully the guy who wrote his mini will write the Thor comic.

 

[Unleashed]

Why would Spider-Man ask a homeless black guy to join the Avengers?

 

[deathshead2]

Because its beat ray bill. Why would iron man ask wolverine a killer to join the avengers or Cap ask the sentry who is really the void?Its not any different then those.

 

[Unleashed]

cause those were necesary

 

[Spectre722]

because spidey knows the homeless black guy is beta ray bill. who happens to be one of the coolest characters ever. never actually read anything with him except one issue of the ragnarok story where thor and sif are helpless and surrounded by loki's minions, when from out of nowhere bill races in and unleashes the greatest beat down of all time

 

[Vartha]

I'm guessing that the Combination of the ending of the ragnarok cycle and Doom screwing with things, it has released more than Doom, and Maybe Don Blake, if that was him.

 

[BrianWilly]

I'm glad Doom couldn't pick up the hammer.

 

[Xofenroht]

I'm glad Don Blake saw the signal.

 

[Cyclops]

I thought Don Blake was just Thor trapped in the guise of a mortal man so his dad could teach him some humility.

 

[stillanerd]

I'm glad Doom couldn't pick up the hammer.

As am I. I knew there was no way Doom, seeing how, despite how noble his is, is still one of the most evil men on the planet and therefore not worthy enough to lift Mjlonir. At least JMS got SOMETHING right.

And it does sound like that we are seeing Neil Gaiman's "American Gods" concept of Thor happening to some degree.

 

[Ahura Mazda]

Just glad Doom could not pick it up because that would have made no sense

Don Blake's a real person. Odin stuck Thor in his body until the moment Blake smacked the cane against a rock in that cave way back in Journey Into Mystery #83. Then Odin took Blake's body while Thor's essence recreated his own body. Ever since that point, a new Blake shell was magically created for Thor every time he transformed back. The real Blake was in suspended animation the whole time in a cave near Mount Wundagore, where Odin had left him. Because Odin, when you get right down to it, really is a jerk.

The whole thing was revealed in Thor #479, which, as far as I know, is the most current explanation of the whole Blake/Thor thing. It was explained before that that Odin had created Blake based on Keith Kincaid, but he reveals in #479 that that was a lie, and that Kincaid was just his second choice if, for some reason, Blake didn't work out. Also, trapping Thor in Blake's body wasn't just for a humility lesson, it was because Volla the prophetess had a vision that Thor would die if he remained in Asgard.

Personally, I always preferred the explanation that Blake was really just a body Odin had created for Thor, but it's in canon that Blake is a real guy. I doubt that the Blake we saw in this last issue of FF was really Don Blake, though. He seemed pretty big, and I couldn't find a cane in any of the panels. The magical bodies created for Thor after the real Blake was taken away supposedly grew in stature because Thor was subconsciously making them more like his real body, which would explain his size in FF.

But, in reality, I'm probably just giving JMS way, way too much credit, believing he might actually know all this.

It must be Thor.

 

[TheCorpulent1]

Why?

 

[Red]

Just makes sense since Doom escaped hell with Mjolnr.

 

[The_Mystery]

Beta Ray Bill is...a black guy?! Anyone got any scans on what he looks like? Can you post them.
