Frog Thor Cosplay Proves Marvel's Wildest Hero Could Work in the MCU
While Marvel Comics' Frog Thor is a weird character, one cosplay shows that he could work in the MCU. The Frog of Thunder could show up either as a froggy-ified Odinson or as Simon Walterson, the man-turned-frog-turned-Throg.

He was once a man named Simon Walterson who was cursed into frog-hood and just rolled with it.

One iteration of the amphibian Avenger has shown up in the Marvel Cinematic Universe before in a brief Loki cameo. Granted, that version of The Frog of Thunder was
