Symbiote Thor Unleashed: Marvel's What If...? Takes God of Thunder to Dark Side
Thor with a symbiote suit? Believe it. Marvel's latest What If...? issue, What If…? Thor #1, recently hit stores, offering a wild twist on the God of Thunder. This isn't just a simple costume swap; it's a delve into how a powerful entity like Thor handles a corrupting influence.
Marvel's classic What If...? series is famous for exploring alternate realities, pushing iconic heroes into unexpected scenarios. This issue takes a bold leap, imagining Thor, already one of Marvel's mightiest heroes, bonding with the infamous alien symbiote. Fans know the symbiote from its origins with Spider-Man and its more villainous turn as Venom.
Now, it latches onto Asgard's prince. The comic asks a compelling question: how does this cosmic power affect an already divine being? And what cosmic entities from the Ten Realms would notice such a potent new pairing?
