Horrors Here's Your Halloween Costume: Thor Girl

Posted by Wm.™ Steven Humphrey on Fri, Sep 30, 2011 at 1:29 PM

I know you're already looking for a Halloween costume. So I found this one for you: THOR GIRL.

I have some questions about Thor Girl:

1) I was going to ask "Is there any Marvel Universe where Thor Girl actually exists?" As it turns out, THERE ACTUALLY IS! So here's my backup question: Why does Thor Girl exist?

2) Is there any superhero name in the world worse than "Thor Girl"? For example, is anyone named "Spider-Man Girl"? (By the way, Wm. Steven Humphrey is actually the secret identity of "Wm. Steven Humphrey Girl.")

3) Is a hammer really the best choice for Thor Girl? After all, Thor Man already carries one. How about a nail gun or a leaf blower?

4) Here's a riddle: What did Thor Girl (who has a speech impediment for the purposes of this joke) say after having sex with Thor Man? "Dude, I'm tho Thor, I can't even take a pith!"

That concludes my questions.

The model looks like January Jones.

I was trying to think up something clever until I read #4. Now all I'll say is: "Bravo, Mr. Humphrey."

Why not just go as Sif, who is a badass in her own right?

I'd Mjölnir like she's never been Mjölned before.

That lisping crack sounds suspiciously like a line from The Sandman. Hat tip to Neil Gaiman?

To me it kinda like a crack from Marvel's "Not Brand Echh" comic from the late 60's featuring "The Mighty Sore", but with fewer obscure pith-helmet references. Hat tip to Kirby?

I ordered that costume for the store I no longer work in. It was a super-special goodbye present.

You shoulda opened the package. Chances (99%) are that the costume looks NOTHING like it is depicted. Eg Hammer not included. Sigh.
