Jane remained a steadfast ally of both Thor and other Marvel superheroes through it all. In Thor: God of Thunder #12, Jane was diagnosed with breast cancer, and started treatment.

In a 2002 documentary with Kevin Smith, Lee says his brother and co-creator Larry Lieber originally referred to Mjolnir as the "Uru Hammer".

[3] Film design [ edit ]Visual Development Supervisor Charlie Wen was tasked with designing Thor's appearance for the films, and focused on mixing elements from the comic books with Norse mythology, "trying to maintain the Norse side of things" as much as possible. [4] The first design element that Wen attempted was Mjolnir, for which Wen created a number of possible alternatives, incorporating designs including "the traditional Thor hammer with the short handle as well as the Ultimates versions", from which the one director Kenneth Branagh chose "was the most traditional one".

Thor: Love and Thunder review – Taika Waititi hammers home

Not all of Mighty Thor's abilities were positive. Before Thor becomes unworthy, Jane is diagnosed with breast cancer. She refused to participate in any kind of magical treatment and instead took a chance with chemotherapy. Unfortunately for Jane, each time she transformed into Mighty Thor, there were adverse effects on her health. The hammer purged all toxins from her body during the transformation process, including the radiation treatment for her cancer. The helpful drugs were subsequently emitted, so Jane's condition worsened as cancer spread throughout her body. She eventually sought help from Doctor Strange, one of the few people who knew her true identity. He advised her to stop transforming into Mighty Thor as the next time could kill her.

Mjölnir (commonly written without diacritics as Mjolnir) and Stormbreaker, in the Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU), are sentient enchanted weapons of choice used by Thor, the Norse god of Thunder. Both are melee weapons and were created out of Uru metal forged with the heat of a dying star in the Dwarven kingdom of Nidavellir, with the assistance of the dwarf king and master weapon-maker Eitri. Mjolnir is a hammer, and was enchanted by Thor's father, Odin, so that only those the hammer deemed "worthy" are capable of wielding or even lifting it. Stormbreaker is an axe, and although it does not have such a worthiness enchantment, its power is such that a mere mortal attempting to wield it would be driven mad. a b c Lovett, Jamie (November 19, 2018). " 'Avengers: Infinity War': Why Stormbreaker Looks More Like Ultimate Mjolnir and Not Beta Ray Bill's Hammer". ComicBook.com. Mjolnir first appeared in the post-credits scene in Iron Man 2 (2010), and has appeared thereafter in every film featuring Thor except for one, those being Thor (2011), The Avengers (2012), Thor: The Dark World (2013), Avengers: Age of Ultron (2015), Doctor Strange (2016), Thor: Ragnarok (2017), Avengers: Infinity War (2018), Avengers: Endgame (2019), and Thor: Love and Thunder (2022). Stormbreaker first appears in Avengers: Infinity War (2018)—also the only MCU film in which Thor does not wield Mjolnir at all—and appears again in Avengers: Endgame, and Thor: Love and Thunder. Conversely, the post-credit scene in Iron Man 2 and a scene from the second episode of the Disney+ TV series What If...? are the only MCU media in which Mjolnir appears while Thor does not.DISPLAY STAND INCLUDED: Included display stand is ideal for displaying Mjolnir in your Marvel Legends collection

Thor: Love and Thunder’ Getting hammered by cancer: ‘Thor: Love and Thunder’

We're finally getting Thor: Love and Thunder this week, featuring Natalie Portman's Jane Foster wielding Mjolnir as the Mighty Thor. But how can Jane be the new Thor, you mask ask? The answer lies in the film's Marvel Comics inspirations. HAMMER OF THE GODS: Premium Electronic Hammer features movie-accurate sculpting, detailing, and movie-inspired lights and sound FX! MOVIE-INSPIRED LIGHTS AND SOUND FX: Press the button on the handle to light up the hammerhead and trigger movie-inspired thunder sound FX! Chris Hemsworth in role as Thor Odinson does not have to consider the same complicated ethical decisions as his girlfriend, Jane Foster. (AP Photo/Mark Baker)Sarkisian, Jacob (July 7, 2021). "All the Loki variants explained, from Kid Loki to Alligator Loki to Tour de France Loki". Insider. Mjolnir's origin in the Marvel Comics continuity mirrors the original Norse legend. The hammer is created when Odin's adopted son Loki cuts off the hair of the goddess Sif as part of a cruel jest, and, when threatened with violence by Thor, promises to fetch replacement hair from the dwarf smiths. Loki commissions the hair from the Sons of Ivaldi, and the obliging dwarves create the hair and other gifts for the gods. Loki is convinced that no one can match their workmanship, and challenges a dwarf named Eitri to make finer treasures. After creating some other magical items, Eitri begins work on a hammer. Loki panics, fearing that he will lose the wager, and transforms himself into a moth to bother Eitri (in the original myth, Loki becomes a gadfly and stings Eitri's assistant). As a result, the hammer's handle is shorter in length than Eitri intended, meaning that it could only be wielded one-handed. Despite the error, the Norse gods consider Eitri to have forged the greater treasures, and Loki loses the bet. [1] The movie runs up against idealizing narratives of cancer. Cultural critic Barbara Ehrenreich has criticized depictions of cancer as “ the source of [one’s] happiness.”
