Magere Hein 1,400 Posted July 17, 2014 Thor reimagined as a woman Will she now be know as Hor? It was one of the more bizarre twists in the Marvel world, is he/she going to have a sex change or is it going to be a "someone broke his hammer" kind of thing? What puzzles me is the question: will a female Thor wield a handbag rather than a hammer? regards, Hein 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

It was one of the more bizarre twists in the Marvel world, is he/she going to have a sex change or is it going to be a "someone broke his hammer" kind of thing? Apparently the comic book fans are now getting upset that Captain America is going to be black. They can cope with an African American president but not a fav comic book character.

Apparently the comic book fans are now getting upset that Captain America is going to be black. They can cope with an African American president but not a fav comic book character. There are a good few people that have problems with the president being black. If the president isn't a white middle-aged man, they get worried that he's not going to be a good christian. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
