"First off, the name is Mighty Thor. And secondly, if you can't say Mighty Thor, I'll accept Dr. Jane Foster. Thirdly, eat my hammer!"
―Jane Foster

Jane Foster is a Marvel Super Heroes minifigure that appears in LEGO Marvel Super Heroes. She made her debut in physical Minifigure form as Mighty Thor in 2022.

Background[]

Marvel Cinematic Universe[]

Jane Foster, along with her colleague Erik Selvig and intern Darcy Lewis, were studying Norse mythology when a mysterious thunderstorm rampaged near their lab. When it ended, they accidentally rode over a man (who was actually Thor who was sent to Earth by Odin) who survived and was taken in. When S.H.I.E.L.D. found Mjolnir, they came and took all of Jane's technology. When Thor regained his ability to wield Mjolnir, he revealed his true identity to Jane and told S.H.I.E.L.D. to give back everything they took from her, an offer that was accepted. On the battle on the Bifrost, Loki, knowing that Thor had fallen in love with Jane, said that if the Bifrost was destroyed, Thor would never see Jane again. Later, Heimdall said that Jane was waiting for Thor's return.

Two years later, Jane was in London where she, Darcy and her intern found some kids who showed them some strange events happening: a cement mixer was floating in mid-air and when things were thrown down a certain staircase, they disappeared. Many of the stuff returned at the top of the staircase, but some didn't come back. Jane went to investigate these oddities and accidentally unearthed the Aether (pronounced ee-ther) a relic of the Dark Elves that infested her body. Thor arrived and took Jane to Asgard, where she found out about the Aether. She was later taken to the Dark world where Malekith the Accursed stripped the Aether from her body. She later found where the stuff from earlier disappeared to and found a portal to Earth. On their return to Earth, they learned of Malekith's plan: to use the Aether to plunge the universe into Darkness. Jane built machines that controlled the portals to send the Dark Elves back where they came from. After the battle, Jane had to wait for Thor's return again.

Several years later, she was diagnosed with stage four cancer, and went through chemotherapy. However, the treatments weren’t working too well, and sought out a supernatural form of treatment, which came in the form of the shattered fragments of Mjölnir, which reassembled itself due to a promise made by Thor years earlier. She would fight Gorr the God Butcher alongside her allies Valkyrie, Korg, and Thor, the latter of which with whom she would rekindle their relationship. However, using Mjölnir would actually undo the effects of the chemotherapy, and she passed away in Thor’s arms after convincing Gorr to save his daughter instead of kill all gods, where she would end up in Valhalla, and be met by Heimdall.

Comics[]

In the comics canon, Jane was a long-time love interest of Thor, though her life with him took a tragic turn when she was diagnosed with cancer. After an encounter with The Watcher left Thor unworthy of his sacred hammer, Mjolnir, Jane temporarily became its wielder, taking on the mantle of Thor for a time. Unfortunately, every time she would transform, the affects of her chemotherapy were undone, rapidly progressing her cancer. After fighting to save the Norse gods from a deadly foe, she finally succumbed to her illness. However, she was later revived in Asgard, becoming a Valkyrie.
