Jane Foster had always been a lowly character reference in theThorcomics , best - known as a love interest to keep Thor ground . But over the last few years , writer Jason Aaron has reinvented Jane and transform her into one of Marvel ’s most complex character . Aaron made Jane the unlikely inheritor of Mjolnir , the whizz of hisMighty Thorrun . At the heart of Jane ’s worthiness was the fact that she believe the Realms would always postulate a Thor , even to the point of self - forfeit .

In the end , Jane sacrificed Mjolnir itselfin order to defeat the Mangog , and her cancer went into subsidence when she discontinue using the enchanted hammer . Aaron’sWar of the Realms#6 neatly wraps up Jane ’s time as Thor , and lay her up as the MCU ’s new Valkyrie . She retrieves the hammer of the War Thor – which originated from Marvel ’s Ultimate Universe – and transformed into Thor one last time , in parliamentary procedure to aid in the final engagement against Malekith .
But this later transformation is unstable , simply because the Mangog had damage the hammer of the War Thor and almost destroyed it . In the end , Jane tossed it one last time in a devastating blow against Laufey . But instead of being destroyed , the shards of the War Thor ’s hammer transform into something else , some sort of gauntlet , turn Jane Foster into something new .
Marvel ’s already teased that Jane will be the first of the new Valkyrior . In the comics , the Valkyrior were create by Odin to take the soul of warrior who perished in battle to Valhalla . Their powers were shaped by this role , and they rode winged steed that could move between the Realms without need of the Bifrost . Odin go them to battle inWar of the Realms#2 , and they were slain by Malekith and his force play . If Jane Foster is the first of the fresh Valkyrior , though , they ’re presumptively servants of the new All - Father Thor , and their major power and indeed their role in Marvel ’s cosmic mythology may be subtly different .
The samara may well lie in the fact that Jane Foster ’s Valkyrie was accord her mightiness by the hammering of the War Thor . This involve that her new abilities will be relate to Thor ’s , perhaps with a degree of mastery of lightning and storm . Further , though , it suggests that Jane may be driven by a bloodlust great than the middling Asgardian’s . The hammer of the War Thor drove Volstagginto constant berserk rages , boost his Adrenalin and testosterone .
It will be fascinating to see how Jane is affected by being draw together by such an target . It could well be that these new Valkyrior are n’t the Choosers of the Slain , focused on ferrying the dead to safety ; instead , they could be All - Father Thor ’s greatest and most unnerving warriors .
