QuotePerhaps Thor's nickname should be revised to the Goddess of Thunder.

Marvel Comics announced Tuesday that one of its most popular superheroes will be re-envisioned as a woman.

"The inscription on Thor's hammer reads 'Whosoever holds this hammer, if HE be worthy, shall possess the power of Thor.' Well it's time to update that inscription," Marvel editor Wil Moss said in a statement. "The new Thor continues Marvel's proud tradition of strong female characters like Captain Marvel, Storm, Black Widow and more."

Moss wanted to make it clear to readers that the new incarnation of Thor will still be the same superhero and not a feminized off-shoot, like Batwoman.

"This new Thor isn't a temporary female substitute -- she's now the one and only Thor, and she is worthy," Moss explained.

Admit it. You're secretly green with envy.

10 bucks says he's back in time for the Avengers 3 movie.  Just free publicity for the comic book folks.  Batman and Superman were supposed to be dead 'forever' too at one time.

Thor is a male.  I'm not against a goddess with a hammer.  That would be fine, and she could smack the Hell out of mortal men.  All you have to do is invent another god.  But Thor is a male.  Always has been a male, so don't try to feed me bullshit.

I grew up with farm girls in Central Utah that came in 2 sizes:

1. Small, dainty and delightful

2. Thor the thunder god. I think I actually called one of them that. They all had last names like Rasmussen and Hansen.

Any girl that can stand flat footed and huck 80 pound hay bales all day long above head height onto a flat bed trailer definitely ain't dainty.

I'm all for strong female characters, but this is fucking stupid. Why don't we just make Odin a female as well and give Isis a dick?

Isis isn't a chick with a dick?

I expect the porn industry or the Japanese to do this but not marvel. WTF! Feminism poisons everything!
