What happens to Thor when Jane becomes Thor?
However, Jane is dying of breast cancer and being the goddess of Thunder only exacerbates her condition. (The transformation actually purges all “toxins” — including the chemo — from her body every time she becomes Thor.) She continues as Thor, eventually becoming an Avenger. Her cancer also continues to spread.
