Thor Miles Morales is Marvel's Best New Character In Years
Warning: contains spoilers for What If...? Miles Morales Became Thor? #4
Marvel combines Thor with Miles Morales to make one of the best new characters the company has created in years, and not a moment too soon. The hybrid hero is one of four variations of the Spider-Man of Brooklyn, as Marvel celebrates the character through various What If? issues. Miles Morales has turned into Captain America, the Incredible Hulk, and Wolverine — but in What If...? Miles Morales Became Thor? #4, the House that Stan Lee built perfects the formula.
In honor of Spider-Man's upcoming 60th anniversary, both Peter Parker and Miles Morales receive new issues celebrating the characters. Marvel has already made Miles Captain America, the Hulk and Wolverine, but these new characters are simply the combination of Miles' personality and the powers of another character (along with select backstory elements). Ganke, Uncle Aaron and others in Miles' supporting case are given new roles but are ultimately still the same people. This is not the case with Marvel's latest story surrounding the Gen-Z Spider-Man.

Loki is no longer Thor's brother, but his uncle, and as such has quite a different relationship with this variant.
