In the chapter of my Marvel story Doom am I Become I’m writing today:

I’m starting one of the other arcs that will be going on through the trilogy. I don’t know how Thor: Love and Thunder will handle Jane’s arc and her apotheosis but in Doom am I Become she gets cancer from having an Infinity Stone inside of her and the Reality Stone does horrible things to her inside. As in ‘literally falling apart and holding herself together through sheer willpower’ bad.

She doesn’t *exactly* have cancer, she has 'reality-warping hoodoo unraveling by inches from the sub-atomic level on up with resemblances to tumors’.

So she gets an AU version of Mjolnir and a cure that gives her elements of the mythological Thor that the comics version doesn’t really have or deal with, the healing power, the fertility aspects…..and in-universe she donates a blood sample that produces a literal cure for cancer, revolutionizing the medical industry altogether.

As per my usual set of Miracleman references Jane!Thor is one of those cases where the reference is not to Johnny Bates (as with both of my Sailor Moon AUs) but to Michael Moran. She’s not the first person in the MCU to go from ordinary human to superhuman, but she is the one who becomes a blazing figure of perfect power and perfect beauty striding out of the darkness, clad in blue and red.

As with Michael Moran her arc is exploring the nature of humanity and superhumanity and the idea of apotheosis….right in time for ol’ Gorr the God-Butcher to start doing his thing and with Mistress Death in the MCU where she’s far, far more powerful than her comics counterpart arranging for Earth run a terrible gauntlet.

Her arc is a foil to Rogue’s, and to Wanda Maximoff’s in their own ways. And it is her that starts the dominoes falling to MCU Thor ascending to Allfather status and commanding the Odinforce and gaining vast power beyond the usual.
