Message: [QUOTE="Octopus, post: 250287, member: 4"] It was in fact robo-Thor, who then went a little nuts as robots in the Marvel universe tend to inevitably do, especially when they're made by Hank Pym. I think it ended up being named Ragnarok, as there's only one 'big bad' Norse word and they couldn't possibly just call him [I]anything else[/I]. There was actually no in-story explanation for why the real Thor wasn't there at all in the entire event, but it was clearly the writer (Millar, who I honestly expect better of) working around the fact that there'd literally be no conflict and he'd wipe the floor with either side if he was there. Of course it was then revealed retroactively that Civil War Pym was a Skrull during the Secret Invasion arc later on, just so Pym didn't look like a psychopath for creating a purposefully murderous Thor robot. Comics are silly. I don't blame you at all for trying to forget about Civil War. They started out with some nuance and real stakes what with a mass casualty event at a high school, and the idea of the Registration Act was a really cool one to play around with, just like Stark and Cap breaking apart onto the two sides. Then they wrote themselves into a corner I think, as from there it just got so silly and heavy handed. In like 4 issues Stark and Reed became comedically evil to where they were employing literal mass murderers and the whole Negative Zone work camp thing, for no reason. 5/10 as a whole, but 10/10 for the actual idea.
