With Comic - Con on the sensible horizon , new fixed photos of Thor are being in released indripsanddraps .

This is a commiseration , for Thor has a rich rogues gallery that ’s right for the picking . After almost 40 year of superheroing , he ’s encountered a panoply of enemy , many of whom have languished in abstruseness after receive Mjolnir top the head once or double . Here are 10 foreign foe who deserve a chance to wow audiences .
10 . ) The Bi - Beast
First appearing : The Incredible Hulk 169 ( Nov. 1973 )
Why does Bi - Beast linguistic rule ? Because his traits were ostensibly picked out of a hat . Super - strong android ? Check . Genius intellect ? Check . Two heads stack on top of each other , totem pole manner ? twofold tab . The Bi - Beast was built by a civilization of Bird People — one of the Bi - Beast ’s oral sex possesses the wench mass ’s knowledge of war , the other sleep together all of their avian culture . Bi - Beast started off as a Hulk baddie but eventually clashed with Thor .
Why He Deserves To Be In The Movie : Think of all the fantastic Hollywood duos you may CGI graft onto Bi - Beast ’s body . Simon Pegg and Nick Frost . Cheech and Chong . The Olsen Twins . The Barbarian Brothers .
Why He Wo n’t Be : possible boycott from the fundamentalist Right over Bi - Beast Happy Meal toy .
9 . ) Sporr
First show : Thor 256 ( Feb. 1977 )
Sporr was a giant clump of tentacles and telepathic sputum who always kidnap phallus of an alien race have it off as the Levians . Thor assisted the Levians in pummeling Sporr when the elephantine glob absconded with his gentlewoman honey Sif . Once the Levians mutilate the jumbo place ameba , Thor discovered that Sporr had been cure their sick and offend . Nice one , Thor .
Why He Deserves To Be In The Movie : The Sporr Baba Ghanoush Wrap will add a much - needed vegetarian option to Burger King ’s fare .
Why He Wo n’t Be : “ Thor is a dick ” is not the substance you want to kick off your dealership with .
8 . ) Crusher
First appearance : Thor 130 ( July 1966 )
Crusher was a minion of the nefarious Olympian god Pluto . His peculiar baron ? Crushing thing . Thor crusade him in one issue and beat the tar out of him . We have n’t regard Crusher since .
Why He Deserves To Be In The Movie : Crusher ’s sole appearance did not adequately explore his motivating for crush things . Was it a poor childhood ? obsessional driven disorderliness ? A multimillion dollar summertime smash hit would be a gravid place to explore his yesteryear .
Why He Wo n’t Be : Hollywood would tumble under the pressure and make love him up . or else of a rich arras of enactment , audience will get some one - note “ I crush this ! I squeeze that ! ” blatherskite . They ’ll charge him to the background rather than giving him the tetrology he deserves .
7 . ) The Man - Beast
First appearing : Thor 135 ( Dec. 1966 )
The Man - Beast ( also have a go at it as the Super - Beast ) was a masher mutate by the unhinged god - being the High Evolutionary . He was part Man , part Beast . you’re able to appreciate the simplicity of his name . It ’s kindred to naming Thor “ Hammer Blond ” or Loki “ Weasel Deity . ” He is what he says . Man - Beast ’s sovereignty of manimalistic threat cease when Quicksilver turned him back into his lupine form . Unsurprisingly , Man - Beast was an ally of Bi - Beast .
Why He Deserves To Be In The Movie : His name will appeal to audiences who demand zero creative thinking from their picture palace .
Why He Wo n’t Be : thwarted audiences will riot when they find out he ’s not Skeletor ’s sidekick .
6 . ) Xorr the God - Jewel
First appearance : Thor 214 ( August , 1973 )
Xorr The God Jewel was a giant sentient crystalline biosphere who wanted to take planet . Reading his origin give me a headache , asit ’s the apex of seventies cosmic Marvel weirdness . Besides his whole galactic uptake M.O. , he ’s kind of a swaggering jerking .
Why He deserve To Be In The Movie : His name > Bi - Beast > Man - Beast . And that ’s saying a lot .
Why He Wo n’t Be : He ’s like Galactus , but made of rock ‘n’ roll confect .
5 . ) Ricochet Monster
First coming into court : Assorted laughable books , 1980 .
There ’s not a lot of information out there on the Ricochet Monster , but he really loves pastry dough and is able-bodied to maintain Mjolnir . straight , Thor is using Mjolnir like an intergalactic taxi service , but the Ricochet Monsteris in select company .
Why He merit To Be In The Movie : Lunchroom product placement opportunities out the yin - yang .
Why He Wo n’t Be : waitress until our # 1 entry … .
4 & 3 . ) The Wrecking Crew
First appearance : Defenders 17 ( Nov. 1974 )
I roll in the hay the Wrecking Crew ( Wrecker , Bulldozer , Piledriver , and Thunderball ) . They ’re easily the most legitimate scoundrel on this list . take care you , these are four men who based their full superhuman career on mimicking structure equipment . Also , the Wrecker carries a magic crowbar that was captivate by the Asgardian sorceress Karnilla — it ’s perhaps the most stupidly superstar stock story out there . In short , the Wrecking Crew are more or less the Village People of the Marvel Universe .
Why They Deserve To Be In The Movie : Despite their reprehensible incompetence when it come to supervillainy , the Wrecking Crew are stalwart baddies of the M.U. They were present at the Secret Wars , joined the Hood ’s gang , and cameo whenever a writer necessitate a villain to pound off on . Scratch that , they ’re the Clint Howard of the M.U.
Why He Wo n’t Be : Actually , we could see the Wrecking Crew in a Thor moving-picture show . A witching wrecking bar and some body suits wo n’t get around the airplane propeller budget .
2 . ) Armak The First Man
First ( and last ) appearing : Thor 231 ( Jan. 1975 )
Arnold was as a nebbish phoney psychic who conned robust people with his mother . For his misbehavior , the spirit of Armak , the First Man overcame Arnold and transformed him into a horndog Neanderthal man . Armak then abduct the nearest noblewoman and scampered up a building site . Thor punches him in the grillroom , Armak plummets to his death . See you in hell , Armak .
Why He Deserves To Be In The Movie : Armak the First Man should n’t be in the first movie . He deserves his own film . See , a bunch of randy carbon monoxide - explosive detection system go out to the woods for spring break . They all have a contaminating secret , à la I get laid What You Did Last Summer . Suddenly , some of the cobalt - explosive detection system begin transforming into Armak , The First Man . But who ? It would be like The Thing foregather Cavemen with Ringo Starr .
Why He Wo n’t Be : Because I ’m already writing an Armak book . Dibs !
1 . ) The Ding - A - Ling Gang
First ( and last ) appearance : sundry comical books ( January , 1978 )
The Ding - A - Ling Gang were a chemical group of intergalactic hillbillies who attempted to mug Thor . He bribed them with Proto-Indo European . The end .
Why He Deserves To Be In The Movie : Self - explanatory .
Why He Wo n’t Be : Self - explanatory .
