* AxCrazy: Learning the truth of his existence drove him completely insane.



* DeadlyDoctor: Turns out that he can use scalpels as weapons, and he can diagnose at a glance - and use that as a weapon, too.



* EvilWearsBlack: After he goes nuts, in [[spoiler: armour made from the skin of Jormungand]].



* MadDoctor: [[spoiler: In the 2020 run, having gone completely insane and devouring as much power as he could get his hands on, even willing to topple Yggdrasil itself]].



* PhysicalGod: In ''ComicBook/Thor2020'', it turns out that this part stuck, possibly because of how he emerged this time, pointing out that he's as strong and fast as Thor. And that was ''before'' [[spoiler: he gutted the Midgard Serpent for power and a natty suit of black armour, and became a full fledged PowerParasite]].



* RedBaron: He's dubbed [[spoiler: the Dragon by Jormungand, and the Serpent. Loki, meanwhile, christens him the new God of Lies]].



* SherlockScan: He can diagnose at a glance, and when insane, uses that as a verbal weapon and a means of targeting physical vulnerabilities.



* WoobieDestroyerOfWorlds: He's had a rough go of it since he and Thor were separated, as it left him rather deprived - being elevated to godhood, then ''decapitated'' while Amora used his body as a sort of golem/sex toy, was bad enough. Then, when he and Thor were apparently joined again, [[spoiler: he discovered the truth of his existence in a pocket dimension when Thor doesn't call on him, after the God of Hammers - the Mother Storm corrupted by Mangog - smashes down the barriers and lets in Jormungand, who tells him the truth, driving him completely insane. As Thor notes, he did not ask to be born into their family, or to be what he was.]]



* CommutingOnABus: This has been her status ever since she and Thor broke up way back in ''Thor'' #136. Jane, while a major part of Thor's mythology, actually hasn't been featured in many of his books since then, compared to someone like Lois Lane or Mary Jane Watson.

Jane, while a major part of Thor's mythology, actually hasn't been featured in many of his books since then, compared to someone like Lois Lane or Mary Jane Watson. Jason Aaron's ''God of Thunder'' run rectified this, bringing her back to front and centre, even if they were AmicableExes, and she's had several books of her own as well as being a regular guest star in Thor's.



* MorphWeapon: As Valkyrie, she has Undjarn the All-Weapon, previously a Doctor Doom-made copy of Ultimate Thor's Mjolnir which had wound up in Earth-616. It's bonded to her.

Since she's a Valkyrie now, and the mortician isn't so bad, it actually works out for the best.



* SitcomArchnemesis: Her relationship with Odin, never the warmest, has settled into this in recent years, with Odin annoyed at her lack of deference and Jane annoyed at Odin's... general personality. However, she respects and acknowledges the lengths he will go to for his family and people, and he respects both her courage and her loyalty to his loved ones. Mostly, they just bicker these days.

* DyingMomentOfAwesome: He discovered a plot by Loki and Dr. Doom to [[CruelAndUnusualDeath vivisect Asgardians]]. When confronted by Loki's goons, he put up a valiant, but useless fight against the [[PhysicalGod stronger]], better-trained Asgardian warriors. His last words to Balder reveal Loki's betrayal. To sum it up: a fry cook from Oklahoma saved countless Asgardian lives and [[DiedInYourArmsTonight died in the arms of the god of light.]] And tops it up by killing one of his attackers who tried to attack Balder from behind, saving his life.

* AntiHeroSubstitute: An inversion. Thor was replaced by Thunderstrike in Main/TheNineties, but he was less likely to kill a dangerous opponent and he came across as a dork when he tried to sound like an anti-hero. Thunder strike did, however, look the part. Complicating the whole thing was that Thunderstrike had previously been Thor himself.

Introduced as [[ComicBook/TheMightyThor Thor]]'s coworker —a mortal nurse to his alter ego, Dr. Donald Blake— Jane soon became his primary love interest, appearing in nearly every issue of his initial solo adventures. Though her appearances started growing fewer and farther between in later years, Jane eventually received more attention throughout the wider Franchise/MarvelUniverse separate from Thor, showing up in storylines like ''ComicBook/CivilWar'', now a doctor of oncology instead of the nurse she originally was.

Verity is a mortal with a special gift - she can see through any intentional lie, whether it is words, hallucinations, fake feelings, holograms, special effects, fiction, magic illusions, etc. Thanks to this power, her life has been difficult, since everybody lies and lies make her uncomfortable. She found Loki (the 3rd one) while trying (and failing) to speed date; since then they have become friends, as Loki is the only person who so far has been able to cheat her powers (to some extent) with their mastery at lying and manipulating.

Since lying makes her uncomfortable and angry, she can't help but always do this.this.
** Her powers basically subject her to this at all times, as no matter how well-intentioned someone is, she will always know when they're lying to her. As a kid, Verity was forced to reckon with the fact that her parents were splitting up ''because of her'' when her dad tried to explain it wasn't her fault, not even knowing the truth himself.

However, if the liar simply leaves out information in an otherwise true statement, her powers have nothing to pick up on, which is how Loki becomes the first person to ever successfully lie to her.
