    Thanks for this. Eric's Thor was my first introduction to the Marvel Universe. It started with the Zarrko/Thor Corps arc. I really enjoyed Eric's struggle of an average man having the powers of a God thrust upon him. I enjoyed his Thunderstrike run, and he continues to hold a special place in me.

    It is hard to believe that a character who dominated the Thor comic for most of a decade has been allowed to stay dead for so long. I remember loving how it was written that Eric would look for ways out of a situation that didn't in love bashing in the bad guy's head.
    This just makes me want a RED NORVELL (the red headed Thor stand in ) video. We have seen Jane Foster and Eric Masterson, we need Red Norvell to complete the humans who had the power or Thor trilogy.
    There is still time to vote for Red Norvell n this month's Patreon poll. So get over to Patreon, pledge as little as $1 a month, and help Red Norvell get his own video.

    This is slightly off topic, but as a child who has gone through several difficult divorces and the custody battles therein.
    There should be a rule that if you give up or are declared unfit for parental rights, for any reason, for any amount of time, then you no longer hold any automatic claim what so ever to getting them back. There should be ways that you should be GRANTED those rights back, if the current guardian gives blessing, but coming out of the woodwork after vanishing for most of your kid's life should be met with an automatic "no. screw off." in a court of law.

    I totaly hated it when they replaced Thor with Eric Masterson in the 90s. But by the end of that run, I was sad to see him go. The character really grew on me. So much humanity mixed in with the cosmic god stuff. Sif sleeping with Mephisto to help find Thor was gross, but I suppose that's why Sif never brings up Jane or Amora.

      @@johnlawful2272 I thought that was a nice little callback to the character actually. For me personally though, I thought a better idea for the Thunderbolts movie would be to have each member be like a more violent version of an original Avenger. So, Thunderstrike could be a government made stand in for Thor. Because I don't know why but I'm just not really a big fan of the team they're using for the movie.

      I didn't see him so much as a screw-up per se, I saw him as a normal nearly-middle aged man who's civilian problems as a divorced dad where a lot to deal with. Add to that being given phenomenal physical & otherworldly powers most of us would not do very well. AND before he was Thunderstrike he had to try to keep up the charade of him being the actual Thor. In that way, he reminded me of an old show called "Greatest American Hero". He did the best he could having no history of training. I live how "human" his struggle was in a way that wasn't overly on-the-nose. That's why he's my favorite hero.
