**Mighty Thor** also known as **Dr. Jane Foster** is a playable character in *Marvel's Avengers*. She is from an alternate universe, in which she became known as Thor.

## Website Bio

Jane Foster is the Mighty Thor: wielder of the legendary Mjolnir, guided by her strong conscience and determination to use her power for good. In her world, Asgard has fallen, and she had to turn to an untrustworthy ally to save what remained. Though used to clashing with gods, she fights a much tougher battle against her deteriorating health.

## Biography

Dr. Jane Foster became the Goddess of Thunder when she took up the mantle from Thor, who in his grief gave up Mjolnir after the A-Day tragedy and Jane's cancer diagnosis. Unlike the Prime Mjolnir, the Asgard Timeline’s Mjolnir seemingly has a mental connection with Jane, as if Mjolnir was talking to her. She jokingly refers to her Mjolnir as “The Chattier Mjolnir”.

Jane served as a member of the Avengers in her timeline, fighting along side them and their crusade against A.I.M. and Monica Rappaccini. Known for her bookish speech pattern, she had concealed her identity from the rest of the Avengers for a long time, before she eventually revealed her true name, which felt “freeing” to her. As a result of this, she has difficulty speaking in the same way she did before becoming Thor. She had often faced ridicule from the other gods in Asgard—and on occasion, the general public on Earth—due to her gender. This angered her to such a point where, in a display of anger, she beheaded who she believed to be Loki, only to find that it was merely one of his duplicates. Regardless of this, the rest of the gods began to take her more seriously since then. Odin Borson, ruler of Asgard, disapproved of Jane’s relationship with Thor, believing she “was not good enough for his son”. However, things in her universe would reach a screeching halt once Odin, the All-Father and King of Asgard, went mad due to outside forces beyond anyone's control. Throwing the Ten Realms into madness, Thor stood tall against the all father, but he proved to be too powerful to fight alone.

Seeing no other option, Thor enlisted the help of the god of mischief Loki for aid against Odin. Once their deal was made, Thor had her finale confrontation with Odin, with Loki stabbing the All Father in his back, killing him. Thor did not feel any remorse for Odin’s death due to his disapproval of her relationship with his son. With the Ten Realms freed from Odin's wrath, Loki sought Thor to ensure that she upheld her end of the deal.

Before Mighty Thor could however, she is thrown through time and space into a different universe via tachyon anomalies, meeting a similar group of Avengers, where Odinson of that world remains a Thor, including her counterpart, who remains healthy because she was not present in her world's A-Day. The Prime universe Kamala gifted Thor with a friendship bracelet shortly after her arrival. Jane also developed a close bond with the Prime universe Thor.

## Abilities

Mighty Thor is an echo playable of Thor Odinson. The only differences are her normal weapon string combos are mid-ranged for being throw-based only, her charged melee normal is similar to Captain America's running strong attack, her projectile throw properties is much farther and faster, and can bounce back to her on hit and can target enemies when fully charged and release, and different Ultimate Heroic, which is similar to Hawkeye's.

## Trivia

* In Marvel Comics, Jane Foster first appeared in *Journey into Mystery* #84 (September, 1962). Initially a supporting character to Thor Odinson, she has as one of his main romantic interests until the mid-1970s. Though more heavily associated with Thor, Foster has also become associated with the Avengers, even helping Captain America's anti-accords team during the *Civil War* event. Her debut as a Mighty Thor first appeared in *What If?* #10 (September, 1978) while under **Thordis**, before being canonized in 616 as of *Thor* #1 (October, 2014), after Thor Odinson lost his ability to wield Mjolnir during *Original Sin* storyline.
* Unlike Old Man Hawkeye and Maestro, who are cosmetic costume-based characters, Mighty Thor is an actual playable character because of her different playstyle and traits than Thor's, and her prime counterpart is a non-playable.
