Marvel Comics announces that one of their most established male characters is changing sex. It was announced that Thor will no longer be worthy enough to wield his magic hammer Mjolnir, so a new female Thor will be taking his place. The announcement came on US TV show The View when host Whoopi Goldberg said, "It's a huge day in the Marvel Universe. Thor, the God of Thunder, he messed up, and he's no longer worthy to hold that damn hammer of his. For the first time in history, that hammer is being held by a woman. That's right. Thor is a woman!"
