Both replacements are needless stunts IMO. It was just a few years ago that they did the whole "Death of Captain America" thing and made Bucky Barnes aka the Winter Soldier, the new Captain America (never mind the whole replacing Steve Rogers as Captain America back in the 80's by the guy now known as US Agent) before Rogers eventually came back and reclaimed the mantle. If they wanted to give Sam Wilson some much needed spotlight then they could have just given him his own series as the Falcon and went from there. Same with this new female replacement. They are moving the original male Thor in a new direction, so he's not actually going away. He's just no longer "God of Thunder" in the Marvel Universe & carrying his own book.

I had read the Death Of Captain America and was left with a rather odd feeling. Like The Death Of Superman(I cried when I read that book), I felt like Captain America didn't have to die. Steve Rogers had his own issues(like his daughter being a member of Hydra)and troubles with Nick Fury. U.S.Agent turned out to be a right-winger and that didn't sit well with Steve Rogers, so Steve returned to the fight. I knew that it wasn't long before Steve would return like Superman. But it was an interesting book.

Odin removed the Mjonir hammer belonging to Thor from Donald Blake. Thor was no longer connected to Blake. Because Thor killed Loki. But Thor sent Blake a staff and stated that the world still needs a hero. Donald Blake became Thunderstrike. I don't think that there was a series for Thunderstrike after his introduction.

Actor Robbie Amell, former star of the recently canceled CW series The Tomorrow People and cousin of Arrow lead Stephen Amell, has already landed a new acting gig by joining the cast of the new CW The Flash series in the recurring role of Ronnie Raymond, better known as one half of the fusion hero Firestorm. He is currently set to debut in the third episode of the upcoming season.

Raymond is said to be a S.T.A.R. Labs maintenance worker and Dr. Caitlin Snow’s fiancé, who played an integral part in the particle accelerator accident that transformed Barry Allen into The Flash in this series & is a slight deviation from his comic book counterpart. Is Jason Rusch, the other half of the current Firestorm fusion far behind?

Don Blake was never Thunderstrike. In fact the whole Don Blake identity that Thor had was constructed by Odin in order to teach Thor about being humble since he was insolent and arrogant prior to his becoming a "super hero". Odin arranged for Blake to find the walking stick that was actually Mjolnir in order to see if Thor, who had no memory of his true identity, was finally learning humility. Once Thor had finally proved to Odin's satisfaction that he had indeed learned to humble & contrite about his past insolence Odin revealed the full truth of the Blake identity & did away with it.

Thunderstrike was in fact a human later associated with Thor named Eric Masterson. Odin picked Masterson to be the new "Thor" after he seemingly banished the real Thor for killing Loki, but in fact hid Thor's essence inside Masterson in order to make Loki reveal that he wasn't actually dead since his "death" was all part of an elaborate plot to get rid of both Thor & Odin and finally take control of Asgard. After the real Thor was "resurrected" by Odin, Masterson was awarded his own uru hammer called Thunderstrike for doing a capable job as a substitute God of Thunder and used the name Thunderstrike as his superhero name. He had his own title for about a two year time period in the 90's that ended when he was killed off. Last I heard Masterson's teenaged son Kevin was the new Thunderstrike.

Here is your new Wonder Woman. She looks ok in the costume, but the browned out color palette is terrible looking IMHO

Not too bad. She does indeed seem to have more bulk to her frame than she did pre Wonder Woman casting. And agree, it needs to be in proper color tone to get a better feel for it.

I thought that Wonder Woman would be wearing pants. The color of the outfit is appropriate since she is a warrior. It worked well for Xena(Lucy Lawless would still be perfect for the role of Wonder Woman, even if she is a little older).
