In most cases within the Marvel Cinematic Universe, heroes maintain a consistent purpose or guiding principle. However, there are instances where a hero’s purpose evolves, and this transformation was notably seen with a specific character. Typically, these heroes stick to their mottos or mission statements, but compelling stories can cause significant shifts in their lives. This shift is apparent in one Marvel series and appears in one of the publisher’s popular titles.
WARNING: Spoilers for Storm #11 below.
In the chapter titled Storm #11, penned by Murewa Ayodele, Mario Santoro, C.F. Villa, Fer Sifuentes-Sujo, Alex Guimaraes, and VC’s Travis Lanham, we delve into the second installment of the “Thunder War” series. In this installment, Storm is engaged in battle against Hadad, the primordial god of storms. If you’re new to the storyline of Storm, it’s important to know that she received a significant power upgrade when Eternity bestowed her with the title of the Eternal Storm, making her the host of this cosmic entity. Utilizing these powers, she has been safeguarding Earth, but now finds herself facing the wrath of Hadad.
While we can’t help but think of Thor, a character from Marvel comics who is also associated with thunder, it appears he won’t be directly involved in this conflict. Nevertheless, through Storm’s journey, we discover the true role and purpose of not only Thor, but all the other thunder deities within the Marvel universe.
Marvel Reveals Thor’s True Purpose
At Hjem Spiti, a neutral ground for all divine beings, the thunder gods convene during Storm’s struggle against Infinity, who is also known as Eternity’s twin sister. This gathering is held to decide whether to support Storm or Hadad. Among those present are familiar figures such as Beta Ray Bill and Zeus, who has recently been brought back to life. Since Thor is occupied with other significant events like his death at Loki’s hands and the surprising resurrection depicted in “Mortal Thor,” Beta Ray Bill stands in for him.
I, in awe, find Beta Ray Bill the exceptional storm deity who champions Storm’s cause to halt Hadad from obliterating the cosmos. The rest align with Hadad. Beta Ray Bill then recounts tales of ancient storm gods vanquishing Leviathans, their sworn adversaries. It appears that the role of thunder gods is to “liberate the universe from the colossal cosmic leviathan, Oblivion,” as Beta Ray Bill puts it. Oblivion, like many cosmic entities, is also called “The Great Cosmic Leviathan” and “The End of Creation.” This sheds light on why we see so many different thunder gods across various pantheons.
Instead of merely governing Asgard, it appears that Thor’s destiny involves battling a colossal sea serpent known as Jormungand, the Midgard Serpent. This significant shift in the Thor mythology unfolds an intriguing scenario. With Thor out of the picture, Beta Ray Bill steps up to claim the mantle of the thunder gods. He eagerly accepts the challenge and responsibility that come with it, setting him apart as the only god willing to protect this universe. The others seem to favor Hadad’s rise and the creation of a new universe, which could potentially lead to Storm’s demise.
As a movie reviewer, I’d say:
In this action-packed saga, it appears the mighty Thor finds himself in a pickle. The celestial powers, akin to jealous deities, seem displeased that Eternity has bestowed its mantle upon a mortal like Storm. This discontent is manifesting itself in ways that could potentially put our favorite Asgardian hero at a disadvantage.
If Thor doesn’t sort out his life soon, he might not be battle-ready to face off against the monstrous leviathan. In such a scenario, it seems Beta Ray Bill will have to step up and take on the mantle. But if Ragnarok isn’t averted in time, even the combined forces of Thor and Beta Ray Bill might not be enough to withstand the impending clash between Hadad and Storm. Buckle up for a thrilling ride!
