That Gwen picture is also pretty big, but I don't notice any other typographical mishaps with your brain.
OUTSIDE OF FUCKING OVER FELICIA HARDY BY GIVING HER LEGACY TO FUCKING SELINA KYLE. IM SO FUCKING OFFENDED BY THIS. SHE DIDNT EVEN TAKE UP HER THIEF-ESQUE MANTLE TIL THE END OF SEASON 1 MAYBE EITHER. WHAT IN THE SEVEN HELLS. REEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE.
// PEAK PHYSICAL CONDITION|Having undergone several kinds of rigorous training across his lifetime, Matthew has achieved a human body at peak physical performance, with his strength, speed, stamina, endurance, agility, and reflexes all at the absolute upper limits of human capability.
// PEAK MENTAL ABILITY |Matthew is incredibly gifted, having studied hard and achieved great academic success in his civilian life, and honed that intellect into some more practical talents for his vigilantism. Skilled in detection and problem-solving, Matthew also has a fantastic working knowledge of criminology and psychology. Furthermore, Matthew is able to detach himself from emotional response when necessary, able to turn to logic and rationality and focus entirely on his goals, suppressing emotion completely.
// SUPERHUMAN SENSORY SYSTEM After the accident that caused Matthew's blindness, his other senses began to compensate far past what was expected of them, and with Stick's later training, Matthew has honed these remaining senses into the superhuman, unlocking extraordinary abilities.
◼ SUPERHUMAN TOUCH |Matthew's sense of touch is so acute that his finger can feel the faint impressions of ink on a printed page, allowing him to read by touch. The rest of his skin is equally sensitive, enabling him to feel minute temperature and pressure changes in the atmosphere around him. Even with his senses of smell and hearing blocked, he can feel the presence of a person standing five feet away from him simply by his or her body heat and disturbance of air, which he can use to predict the movement of people nearby.
◼ SUPERHUMAN HEARING | Murdock's sense of hearing enables him to detect an acoustic pressure change of one decibel at a pressure level of seven decibels. He can hear a person's heartbeat at a distance of over twenty feet, or people whispering on the other side of a standard soundproofed wall. He is also able to focus on a particular sound, however quiet, and block all others out. Matthew's hearing also allows him to use incoming acoustic information to map out his environment in 360 degrees.
◼ SUPERHUMAN SMELL |Matthew's sense of smell is so acute that he can distinguish between identical twins at twenty feet by minute differences in smell. He can detect odors from even the smallest concentrations in the atmosphere. Furthermore, his ability to remember smells enables him to identify nearly any person by their natural odor alone, and he can use this to track a mark across a large distance, even through a crowd.
◼ SUPERHUMAN TASTE |Matthew's ability to identify and remember tastes in incredibly tiny quantities enables him to determine every ingredient of a food or drink he tastes, and even taste particular vapors in the air.
▼ ORIGIN & BACKSTORY:
Born to a nameless mother, Matthew grew up with his father, Jack Murdoch, a semi-pro underground boxer for Hell's Kitchen and its underbelly. Jack had a penchant for getting back up off the mat despite however many broken bones he'd picked up, and this trait seemed to pass to Matthew, who would treasure it in later years; for most of his childhood, however, Jack tried to keep his only family hidden from the violence that plagued the downtrodden Manhattan neighborhood and instead directed Matthew's attentions to his studies, making sure he kept up in school until Matthew started to excel by himself. Jack was proud that such a bright child could be called his, and he foresaw an escape from Hell's Kitchen for his son - an escape that would not find Matthew; at nine years old, Hell's Kitchen put in its claim to the child. A traffic accident and a courageous, reckless act, caused a truck hauling chemical waste and toxic run-off to crash and overturn, spilling its cargo across the road and onto several bystanders - including Matthew. Caught in the spill, the chemicals burnt his eyes irrevocably. Jack and Matthew's lives changed forever - Matthew bound to the abilities that would reveal themselves over the next few months and years, and Jack bound to dealing with a disabled son who displayed abnormal reflexes and sensory overload.
Matthew spent his formative years learning his new place in the world, refining the senses he had left and continuing his studies. Jack continued boxing, losing and winning when the local mob told him to, until eventually - as he realized Matthew's abilities and intelligence were beginning to pull him to greater things - he took a final stand, winning an against-all-odds boxing match in Round 9 against 'Crusher' Creel, despite being instructed to stay down in the fourth. Jack Murdock never made it home. Matthew fled Hell's Kitchen the same night, cursing the criminals that had shaped his life and ended his father's. He found refuge in an nun's orphanage for a time, until his abilities took the notice of a blind man who called himself 'Stick'; Matthew left with Stick to train his mind, senses, and body, and he never (figuratively) looked back.
Many years later, Matthew returned to Manhattan to pick up where he had left off in his education; securing a place at Columbia, where he met Foggy Nelson, and going on to secure a Summa Cum Laude Law Degree from Harvard Law, with Foggy attaining a Cum Laude Law Degree alongside him. Taking a cue from Harvey Dent, an admired peer Murdock had met at university, Murdock moved back to Hell's Kitchen with Foggy to become New York's newest ADA, a high profile judiciary position that gave Murdock quick access to the information he needed to start cleaning up his home. However, Matthew soon found that courtroom law was far from the 'justice' he sought for the people of Hell's Kitchen. At first, it was those in his immediate vicinity; a blindfold and dark clothes for the domestic abuser in the next building over, the cop taking bribes from the local dealer to keep him operating on student corners. Beyond that, Matthew moved his scope to the broader picture, donning padded athletic wear and a more stylized 'mask' to take on gambling rings and amateur human trafficking. Soon enough, Matthew saw too much in court to stand by without action any longer. It was time for the suit, to combat the massive crime organisation that underpinned the criminal everyday of Hell's Kitchen.
It was time for Kingpin. It was time for Daredevil.
▼ SUPPORTING CHARACTERS :
// ALLIES
◼ FRANKLIN 'FOGGY' NELSON |Matthew's partner in law as Assistant District Attorney and lifetime best friend, the two met at Columbia Law and have been inseparable ever since. Foggy is Matthew's walking conscience and moral compass, always there to guide Murdock back towards the light when the Devil strays too far into the dark.
◼ KAREN PAGE |A beautiful blonde hired by Foggy to be his and Matthew's assistant, Karen is tenacious, intelligent, and a little too morally upstanding to be safe in Hell's Kitchen. She enjoys a fiery chemistry with Murdock, although he refuses to let anything come of it.
◼ STICK |A martial arts master with supersensory abilities even more advanced than Murdock's, he recognized Matthew's condition at the orphanage and took him away for training. He is mysterious, stoic, and guarded, but nonetheless a strong ally of Matthew.
◼ JACK MURDOCK |Matthew's father, a semi-pro boxer in Hell's Kitchen who raised Matthew as a single father. He did well, teaching Matthew to be a kinder and better person than Jack was, and after Matthew's accident, still encouraged him to pursue his studies. Tragically, he eventually crossed the mob of Hell's Kitchen while Matthew was still young, and Matthew has been trying to do his father proud ever since.
◼ ELEKTRA NATCHIOS |Matthew's girlfriend, a New York socialite with deep coffers of family money and an alluring enigmatic nature that Matt finds irresistible. The two challenge and electrify each other daily and though their relationship is difficult, they both find it fulfilling.
// FRIENDS
◼ HARVEY DENT|The zealous and enthusiastic ADA of Gotham City, Murdock met Dent at Columbia Law and the two immediately formed a strong respect for each other. They rarely talk anymore, but Murdock keeps tabs - Gotham is a difficult city, and allies there are hard to come by.
// ENEMIES
◼ THE KINGPIN |The unquestioned head of nearly all organised crime in New York, with an iron grip on Murdock's neighborhood of Hell's Kitchen, and an intellect to match his physicality. Ruthless, violent, intelligent - there is no criminal in New York who would cross the Kingpin. But there is a Devil waiting to face him.
▼ SEASON ONE RECAP:
Due to a late entry and slow posting (sorry!), we were only just getting to know Murdock in Season One; he's angry, frustrated with his double-life and the seemingly-lacking capabilities of New York's judicial system to deliver actual justice. He works as New York's Assistant District Attorney with DA Katherine Spencer, seeking guidance from his friend, Foggy Nelson, and his secretary, Karen Page. He's involved in a rocky (at best) relationship with Elektra Natchios. He's following a mysterious lead from a mysterious man that has left two men (not necessarily innocent men) dead. And when we last saw him, he had just discovered that Kingpin, his arch-nemesis and undisputed lord of New York's criminal underworld...knew his secret identity. Oh boy.
▼ WHERE DO YOU PLAN TO TAKE THE CHARACTER THIS SEASON?:
Well first of all I'm going to finish Matthew's initial arc, dealing with Kingpin's discovery of DareDevil's civilian identity and what that means for Matt, for Matt's friends, and for the city at large. He'll work on protecting himself and those he cares about, and then dealing with the fallout of such a monumental and dangerous revelation. After that, Matt will have to question whether the civilian life is even worth retaining, and come to terms with the relationships lost, changed, or struck up anew. He may find that his actions have inspired others in ways he'd rather they hadn't; or have vilified him from surprising circles.

All the big stuff gets moved today. No Internet until late next week, but I'll Bluetooth and mobile data my app up since something tells me I'll be looking for something to do with no pay tv hookup either for quite some time.
By the way. If you don't want anyone to post on the season one thread, you could ask a staff member to lock it. I am sure that they wouldn't mind doing it. @Master Bruce

Ultimate One Universe: Season Two Application
CHOW YUN FAT IS
Origin And Backstory:
Fang Chu was born in Gotham City to a pair of Chinese immigrants on February 16th, 1990. He lived in a rather destitute area during his childhood, where he frequently got into fights with delinquents around the neighborhood and was lucky to survive with his head still on his shoulders. He had hated the poverty and crime he was surrounded by, but nothing disgusted him moreso than his father, an abusive drunk who eventually drove Fang's mother to suicide.
When Fang became an adult, he moved to New York and joined the police force there. The first thing he did was save up enough cash to change his name to Frank Castle, in order to distance himself from his father. At the age of twenty-four he met Maria Conway, the woman who he'd eventually marry and have a pair of twins with. Up until two months ago, life was good, with Frank quickly rising through the ranks of the department and the family looking for a nice suburban home on the Jersey side of the city.
But one day, when the family had a picnic in a park, they witnessed a mob killing happening not too far away. Before Frank could react, gunfire was erupting, and his family was gunned down in front of him by the gangsters. Frank survived, and the assailants were caught not long after the shooting only to be let off due to the weight their boss held.
Frank, disgusted by the ineptitude of the judicial system, has decided to take matters into his own hands. Enlisting the help of a friend in the cyber crimes division, David Lieberman, Frank has taken it upon himself to track down the men who murdered his family and bring down their boss in addition to the two of them. Not to achieve some twisted sense of joy in taking his revenge. He was going to make sure they got punished.
Season One Recap:
Frank's path to damnation began with a shootout at a night club called the Stardust, where he eliminated one of the men who murdered his family. He followed that up with a raid on The Royal Palace hotel, owned by Silvio Manfredi, where he killed the other man responsible for his family's deaths along with dozens of mobsters who were staying and working there. This might've satisfied most, but Frank wasn't through: he was going to topple Silvio Manfredi's organization or die trying.
But things didn't go too smoothly. The police uncovered Frank's identity and raided his apartment. He managed to escape, but only after accidentally killing two cops. From there, he was attacked by Spider-Woman, and the two got into a fight that resulted in an abandoned apartment building coming down. From then on, Frank operated quietly and stealthily, taking out Manfredi members one at a time, until he finally hit Manfredi himself at his manor. There, Frank learned that his family's death wasn't an accident, but rather done in order to prevent Frank's wife from spilling secrets she had learned while working at the DA's office. Frank executed Manfredi, and decided it was time to move on with his life.
But he was in for a rude awakening a month later when he was trying to do laundry. A group of thugs began causing a ruckus outside of the laundromat he was at, and when he killed them he realized that he had the chance to do something more than just wait to die. He took on his alias of the Punisher once more, and began to travel the country, where he met the likes of Vigilante and (unknowingly) John Constantine. From there, he made his way back across the country and began to form a network of vigilantes in the cities that didn't have them, all going by his alias of the Punisher. His group began with Rachel Cole-Alves in Bludhaven, and he's returned to New York while he has Micro look over reports of similarly ruthless vigilantes in nearby cities to recruit.
Powers And Abilities: ('Powers', he says)
Living Weapon - Frank has trained himself in the use of firearms and has also developed a hand-to-hand combat style mixing elements of boxing with down and dirty street fighting. From a semi-automatic pistol to a pencil, he's able to kill with anything. Needless to say, he's a dangerous man that's fully capable of taking on most (non-powered) people who get in his way.
Unbreakable Will - He will stop at nothing (short of killing innocents) to complete his goal and punish those who make a living off of other people's pain. It doesn't matter if he's stabbed, poisoned, shot, he will keep going until he's dead as disco. Couple this with the fact that he has nothing to lose anyway and the skills he already possesses, and it just manages to multiply his potential for violence.
What Makes This Character 'Ultimate'?: Aside from the race lift and change in background from Castle being a soldier to a police officer, this version of Frank Castle will be played in a style that's heavily influenced by the works of John Woo. A Better Tomorrow and Hard Boiled are the two biggest influences. Expect lots of flashy gunplay and body counts in the hundreds by the time he punishes those responsible for his family's death.
Where Do You Plan To Take The Character This Season?: It should be noted that I'm only planning on playing Frank for one crossover with DocTachyon. From there on, I'll retire him. However, it should also be noted that he's set up a few other Punishers in nearby cities, and plans on expanding his vigilante network. Potential storylines for people if they want them.
Supporting Characters: David Lieberman/Microchip - A friend of Frank's since his days in the academy, Lieberman is a rather portly white man a year older than Frank who was assigned to the cyber crimes division due to his proficiency in technology. He helped Frank uncover the names of the men who killed his family, as well as the man they work for. He has stuck around as Frank's source for whenever he needs information.
Rachel Cole-Alves/The Punisher - The Punisher of Bludhaven and an ally of Frank's. An ex-marine whose husband was murdered in a botched robbery, Rachel fell into depression and didn't know what to do with herself... That was when Frank came along and gave her a reason to keep on living by punishing the type of people that killed her husband.
Notable People Anthony 'Tony' Gognitti - A low-level gangster who worked for Vincent 'Vinnie' De Luca, a minor crime lord. James 'Jimmy' Rossi - One of the two men who killed Frank's family who worked for Silvio Manfredi. Nicolas 'Nicky' Francesco - One of the two men who killed Frank's family who worked for Silvio Manfredi. Lawrence 'Squid' Loman - A mid-ranking member of the Manfredi family. Frankie 'The Bat' Niagara - A high-ranking member of the Manfredi family. Silvio Manfredi - The head of the Manfredi crime family. Martin Hidalgo - Los Angeles' own kingpin. Nine other members of the Manfredi crime family. An unnamed assassin who provided Frank with a real challenge at Roscoe Street station (injured).

Due to his height and build, Thor is a very intimidating figure. Broad chested with biceps to match, Thor's stature hides a natural gentleness that can be found in the compassion hidden behind his ice blue eyes. His face is adorned with a tidy beard that matches his fiery auburn hair. While originally Blake had kept his hair rather short and trimmed, since resuming his life as Thor, he has allowed it to grow and become slightly more untamed than previously. Thor has a very disarming smile, considered by almost all who encounter the God of Thunder to be quite charming though it is almost never as wide as when the God of Thunder is engaged in battle.
S K I L L S : ▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔
COMBATANT:Thor is one of the most trained and experienced warriors in all the Realms. Thor often prefers to use brawling-type techniques when fighting beings of similar levels of strength. Despite being a skilled hand-to-hand combatant, Thor's greatest feats of skill come from his weapon expertise. He is easily one of the greatest and most versatile weapon experts in all the Realms, while Thor in his past life favoured his hammer, Mjölnir, he is skilled in the use of weapons such as an axe, sword, bow and arrow, shields and clubs.
TACTICIAN:Due to the fact that Thor is a Warrior God, he has had several millennia worth of experience with devising plans of war. Thor derives his great knowledge of war from Midgard as well as the other Realms, all of which the God of Thunder has done battle in.
P A R A P H E N A L I A : ▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔
JÁRNBJÖRN:The first weapon Thor ever called his own, the dual-headed axe was used in numerous battles until ultimately the weapon became cursed from spilling innocent blade. Cursed with an insatiable lust for blood, the weapon was banished by Odin until it was found during the first World War. The weapon became a scientific asset for the future S.H.I.E.L.D. and eventually found a home under the Triskelion where it was returned to Thor. However as the weapon was still cursed, he ordered it destroyed. Ultimately though S.H.I.E.L.D. upper brass deemed it too valuable to simply destroy and it was returned to storage. Where it remained until it was recently stolen.
MJÖLNIR:The weapon of Thor, forged from the heart of a dying star. Mjölnir was a nigh-indestructible hammer gifted to Thor from his father, Odin. Capable of focussing and channeling Thor's already impressive array of abilities, Thor ultimately came to rely on the weapon and considered it an extension of himself. It was lost to the Universe and the Nine Realms after his death.
P O W E R S & A B I L I T I E S ▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔
POWERS:
ASGARDIAN PHYSIOLOGY:Thor’s unique physiology of half-Asgardian and Half Elder God grants him the typical powers of an Asgardian God but he is much stronger than the typical members of his race. Thor is currently the second most powerful Asgardian within the Nine Realms and the cosmos surpassed only by his father. As Asgard's warrior prince, Thor trained in the arts of battle, which he has practiced for thousands of years. He is recognized to rely solely on his superior fighting ability, strength, and nigh invulnerability. Odin believes that Thor will eventually become even more powerful than him.
Physically the strongest of all Asgardians, Thor is recognized as the God of Strength. His incredible superhuman strength enables him to easily overpower hoards of enemies of lesser strength. Thor has even stalemated the hero Herakles in several contests, a hero of lore whose strength accomplished nine legendary labours that no other being had ever accomplished. None of these so-called labours, however, came close to Thor's greatest feat, when he lifted the Midgard Serpent, Jörmungandr. A serpent so large, its coils had wrapped around the Earth several times. For this reason, Thor often holds back his vast strength to ensure he does not greatly harm his opponents or the area in which they are in.
Thor can move at great superhuman speeds. Capable of sprinting distances fast enough to visibly appear as nothing more than a blur. Likewise, his reflexes react on the same level, allowing Thor to dodge and respond to attacks almost instantly. Thor's agility, dexterity, balance, and bodily coordination make him a great warrior for battle. He moves with incredible grace and speed despite his considerable size and body density.
His skin, muscle, and bone tissue have many times the density of the same tissue in the body of a human being and even more so than regular Asgardians. Thor is immune to all human diseases as well as its poisons and toxins and is additionally immune to electrocution or poison from radiation. Thor's metabolism is so great that it is nearly impossible for Thor to become drunk except for when he imbibes alcoholic beverages of Asgardian or equal origin. Thor is not immune to all forms of harm, however, and can be defeated by a being whose power matches or exceeds his own, or by high order magic manipulation.
Despite his astounding resistance to injury, it is still possible to injure Thor. However, due to his Asgardian physiology, Thor is able to heal at a rate significantly faster than a normal human and even much faster than most Asgardians. Like all other Asgardians, is not truly immortal. It is possible to kill an Asgardian and other beings in the Nine Realms. More accurately, Asgardians are extremely long-lived beings. Thor ages at a pace far, far slower than a human, and this longevity if further boosted by the consumption of Idunn's Golden Apples. Even in Death, Asgardians do not truly die as many return in reincarnated forms such as both Thor and his brother Loki.
Thor's endurance is much higher than that of humans and most superhumans. Thor has the ability to perform at his physical peak without tiring for very long periods of time. Thor’s body, unlike that of humans, produces almost no fatigue toxins. However, Thor does indeed require rest to rejuvenate himself, but sleep is luxury, rather than something he requires daily.
ABILITIES:
GOD OF THUNDER:Thor is the God of thunder born with the natural ability to control weather since birth. Thor normally relies on Mjölnir to control the weather with and release blasts of lightning. Mjölnir allows him to channel his natural abilities more easily, focusing on the hammer as an output. Using his powers without Mjölnir require more effort to summon and are more raw and uncontrolled. Thor is able to summon all elements of the storm, and can even create unnatural weather. He can even discharge lightning bolts from his hands that are lethal and raw in power, able to engulf his hands in lightning to amplify his punches. It is only without Mjölnir that Thor unlocked the full potential of his electrokinetic powers. His power over lightning allow him to generate electrical energy from his own body and summon thunder and lightning from the sky, all without the aid of his former hammer.
SON OF JÖRð:As the son of Jörð, the Pre-Mordial Titan, Gaea, Thor possess an innate, but limited ability to manipulate the Earth. He can create tremors and earthquakes, sink enemies into the ground or raise the ground in his defense. Though this requires great effort on Thor's part as the gifts of his mother do not come with the ease that his other powers do. Lastly, Thor can communicate with the Earth, sensing disturbances to the world through vibrations far too insignificant for most others to experience.

Thor is the second son of Odin Borson, the King, and Allfather of the realm of Asgard. His mother, however, was a giantess called Jörð, who in actuality was a Pre-Mordial Titan known more commonly as Gaea. Through his father, Thor has two brother whom he was raised alongside, his young half-brother Baldur and his older adoptive brother Loki who due to being adopted a bitter rivalry with Thor throughout the pair's youth and into adulthood. Growing up, Thor was close friends with Heimdall who would go on to also become Thor's closest ally. His circle of friends also included the future Warriors Three; Volstagg, Hogun, and Fandral. Lastly, Thor maintained a fledgling on and off again romance with the young Sif.
Growing to be a powerful and headstrong warrior, Thor grew brash and his thirst for battle was almost unsettling to those around him. Burdened with the role of Protector of the Nine Realms, Thor would often be away from Asgard for great lengths of times, putting a severe strain on his relationship with the Lady Sif, especially since Thor made other consorts in the Realms he visited. His favourite of these was jötunn, Járnsaxa, with whom he laid and fostered a child in secret from all but Heimdall's all-seeing eyes. It was also on these many adventures that Thor first ventured to Midgard, encountering the Olympian hero, Herakles and forming their longstanding rivalry.
However, Thor had a destiny far greater than any of his allies, and would eventually go on to confront the monster known as the Midgard Serpent, Jörmungandr. In order to avert the destruction of Midgard, Thor had to defeat Jörmungandr, and the two did battle for numerous days before the serpent finally succumbed to its injuries, its body releasing Midgard and plunging far below the roots of Yggdrasil, the world's tree. However, Jörmungandr's venom eventually caught up to Thor and after taking nine paces from the battle, he dropped dead. The battle between Thor and Jörmungandr had unwittingly unleased Ragnarok upon Asgard, and with Thor's death, the realm fell apart, swallowed whole and its people were forced to flee or perish. Departing the realm, the Asgardians left the ruins of their home behind as they sought to find a new place in the universe while Thor's legendary weapon, Mjölnir was lost to the cosmos of the Nine Realms, foretold to be waiting for the return of its master or another to seek it out and prove themselves worthy of its power.
But time was not a concept that Mjölnir worried nor even considered and in the late summer of the Midgard year of 1990, Erik and Marcy Donaldson unexpectedly found an infant left on their doorstep on the night their own child had been stillborn. Growing up on a farm in the American South West, Thor, now named Blake Donaldson, lived a modest life. But on the dawn of his eighteenth birthday, Blake began to be plagued with vivid dreams of a life he had never lived, the memories of his past life as Thor. The dreams continued to plague Blake for another decade while he left his home in Marville, Oklahoma, to attend Texas State University before returning home to open his own veterinarian practice. Thor was soon awoken when a man from Blake's past by the name of Carl Creel began to make trouble in Marville. Creel had seemingly developed metahuman abilities that allowed him to stand defiantly against the local law enforcement. Blake was struck by a near-fatal blow and while laying in the street was approached by an elderly man who took a hold of Blake's hand. In that instant, Blake was reminded who he was and Thor returned for the first time in thousands of years. Now, Blake balances his life in Marville while adjusting to the responsibilities of both his worlds. Acting as a protector of Midgard, the new King of Asgard must once again restore peace to the other Realms while rebuilding Asgard to bring his people home.

For Season Two, I am planning on structuring my story a bit differently than in Season One. During Season One, I took a very 'Freak of the Week' approach to try and learn my character and get a feel for the world and the RP as a whole. Now having a fairly firm grasp on the character I'm playing and his lore, I'm looking to cover a wider arc story.
After fighting the Surfer, Thor has been left with several major threads to explore. Due to Odin's sacrifice, he has been crowned the new King of Asgard and will have to deal with the fallout and responsibilities that come with that title. Part of Season Two will indeed be a Game of Thrones as Thor is forced to contend with those who would take the crown for themselves. This, of course, leads to the next major thread that Thor has to deal with.
Loki is alive and active. While the Surfer wasn't entirely honest about who was the cause of Thor's loved ones' suffering, he was correct in telling him that Loki is behind the majority of mischief in Thor's life. As such, Thor will need to put an end to Loki.
Next, there's the theft of Járnbjörn and who could be behind that? Thor will be forced to come face to face with a foe he has not seen in a very long time. Additionally, a new face in Marville will challenge Thor in ways that he's never been challenged before.
Lastly, there's Barbara's pending answer to Blake's proposal, will she say yes? And if so, what stress and burdens come with planning a wedding to the King of Asgard.
