No, not The Simpsons character! One of Thor’s oldest foes, Radioactive Man, aka Chen Lu, is another Earthbound villain.

Later on in Marvel lore, Mangog was a minion of none other than Thanos! See how easy this would be? Mangog is one of Jack Kirby’s more nightmarish and striking designs and would make a fearsome image on screen. Mangog is Odin’s sins made flesh, and a chance for Sir Anthony Hopkins to return as Odin (via flashback). Mangog is a creature made up of the rage of the billions and billions of Vanir that Odin slew. Odin himself once committed genocide against the Vanir, a rival race of beings that warred with the Asgardians. While usually a benevolent race, the Asgardians and Odin’s past sins are many. But it’s probably best to keep Thunderstrike away from the Marvel Movie Universe…the world is not ready for our ’90s shame. The coolest twist surrounding Bloodaxe is that he is actually a she! A woman named Jackie Lucas, lover of mulleted hero Thunderstrike, was secretly cursed by the Axe to become Bloodaxe. But Bloodaxe is actually pretty cool with a connection to one of Thor’s greatest foes, Skurge (yes, that Skurge!). It would also make sense if Asgard is going to set itself up on Earth after the events of Thor: Ragnarok.Īh, Bloodaxe, the perennial Thor villain of the ’90s, that magical era when it was law that every new character had to have blood, wind, rage, or axe in his name. The Crusader might not be Thor’s biggest marquee baddie but there is a lot here to work with thematically. How would Crusader’s faith hold against Thor?Ī cinematic clash of modern day Crusaders and Asgard could be pretty intense if pulled off correctly.

Crusader’s power stems from his unwavering faith in his God, a power that diminishes if he ever questions his Lord. Imagine a film Crusader as part of a Westboro Baptist Church type organization sworn to destroy Thor (God hates gods?). He is sworn to protect the world from any and all pagan symbols. How would this change established world religious views?Ĭharles Blackwood is a modern day warrior of the Biblical God.

One of the most fascinating aspects regarding Thor is the perception that he’s a god (it’s just a perception, of course). What he has yet to face is a worthy human adversary. Between Loki, Malekith, the Destroyer, and Kurse, Thor has had his hands full with mythic threats from all over the Nine Realms.
