It was a bit confusing at first since I never followed the whole thing, but I guess person that wields the hammer becomes "Thor." So... for a woman to become Thor, it has to reject the current one. Looks like Wonder Woman wielded the power for a short while... So did Jane Foster.

Wonder how they will transition the whole Captain America thing.

    Thor's hammer is not named thor. It is Mjolnir. Thor's power comes from the hammer. Thor is still Thor

    Ha...its funny I knew that without reading the article lol. But yeah basically you become Thor by power only...the hammer is a consciousness of its own and can choose who wields it.

    Thor was the Norse god of strength, thunder and war. The Son of Odin.

    Ah the PC world... Wonder Woman never wielded the hammer even in cross overs and in Cross overs the avengers usually beat the league... If they do this no one will see it... So who will be falcon? If the black guy becomes Cap (which bucky is the one who actually takes over until they revive Steve Rodgers and then they fight for who should wield the shield) someone would have to be falcon...

    I wonder if Marvel remembers New Coke.
    I'm Not sure this will help bring woman over to comics.

    If it comes to being "Thor a Disney Princess" then what family member do you think they would kill off?

    *facepalm*
     
    Next we'll see the Hulk is stricken with Cerebral Palsy and is a 9 year old black girl. This sort of thing isn't social commentary. It's pandering. Isn't the point that race and sex do not matter? This is the opposite of equality -- it's the reveling in differences.

    Thor is the son of Odin and Jord and that is the end of it.  Someone else doesn't become Thor because Mjölnir rejects Thor and chooses someone else.....that is ridiculous, and a stupidly far reaching cheap gimmick.
     
    As for Captain America......well at least that is plausible.

    I'm almost to the point of going up on super hero, Marvel, DC and Disney. Get off my butt, "after my upcoming back surgery " and write and produce better (Deleted/Abbreviated foul language) then this crap.....

    Stupidity, the next generation "D" dummies, at least Gen_X, we were taught to think for our selves and even upper management can be dumb and dumber.....

    Don't be stupid, dont blindly follow orders/rules!
