I haven't been keeping up with Guardians of the Galaxy or Thor at all, but wasn't Angela (from Spawn) recently proclaimed a long-lost relative of Thor and Loki? They wouldn't be going that direction to give Angela a boost, would they? I liked Angela a lot in Spawn, haven't read her at all since she came over to Marvel, but hopefully that isn't what they intend. Grimmlokk is probably closest to being correct, but I figured I'd ask since you never know what stupid ideas they'll come up with. Like making Thor a chick.

what must thor do in order to not be worthy of mjolnir? a few years ago beta ray bill (who wields stormbreaker, the same as mjolnir) had his planet eaten by galactus, so he took revenge by destroying the intended feeding targets of galacus to starve him. he would evacuate the homeworlds, the last straw was when he forced a world off planet by infecting them and giving them the cure when they left, stormbreaker deemed him unworthy then. (eventually stormbreaker deems him worthy again)
oh and the pic i linked in the new thor.

Because Todd McFarlane was kind of a douche to Neil Gaiman so when he got his characters back he sold them to Marvel.

its.... not clear...
Thor in general is a bit murky on some levels.
Like, who IS Thor?
theres a link around talking about it..
But, the original had a doctor, Donald Blake find the hammer, and inherent the powers of Thor. calling himself Thor. And in some alt versions, a women does the same thing, making a female Thor.
That eventually got retconned, so that Donald Blake was just a pocket personality of the actual Thor, who lost his memories of being Thor, etc, when he was banished. Wandered the Earth, and took the name Donald Blake on.
This is alot like Captain Marvel/Shazam, really. Where, for the longest time, Marvel was totally someone else entirely. Like Billy and Captain marvel switched places, at best, or worse Billy physically and mentally changed into Marvel. Eventually this was changed more, into Marvel is just an adult Billy, but still mentally Billy, with just wisdom, and knowledge of the ages added in.
So, back to Thor.. Many people have clearly gotten Thor's powers when picking it up, becoming "Thor", as if "Thor" is more of a title, then an actual person. Others, pick it up and get a costume, and powers, but are still themselves.

The only thing that bothers me about the new Thor is that Thor isn't a title. It's his name. All the press releases seem to think that it's a title of some sort because their like "It's no she-Thor, or Thorina". Well duh.
It's like somebody new taking over the Captain America mantle and having to change their name to Steve. It wouldn't make sense.
Edit: Just read Caliane's post.
Guess that makes sense too, seems like a stretch with current continuity though.
