6 Thor Costumes For Women That Will Electrify Your Halloween Party

Since the world is already pretty much experiencing an apocalyptic Ragnarok right now, there's never been a more appropriate time to dress up as everyone's favorite Norse god/superhero. With the release of Thor: Ragnarok coming the week right after Halloween this year, channeling your inner thunder god at your friends' Halloween parties will be timelier than ever. And ladies, Thor isn't just a dude costume. There are tons of ways for women to dress as Thor this Halloween as well as the guys. In fact, anyone who keeps up with Marvel comics will tell you that seeing a female Thor is not all that surprising.

As of the 2014 Thor storyline in the Marvel comic book series, Thor is actually a woman nowadays. After the original, male Thor loses his ability to pick up his mystical hammer Mjolnir, a mysterious woman takes the hammer instead and assumes the new identity of Thor. It's later revealed that the female Thor is actually Jane Foster, the scientist portrayed by Natalie Portman in the Marvel Cinematic Universe. The male Thor is now continuing his heroics under his surname Odinson as Jane wields Mjolnir as the new Thor.

So yeah, if any nerdbros try to give you sh— for dressing up as a female Thor, you can inform them that Thor is canonically a woman in the Marvel universe and has been for about 3 years. Now let's get into how you can go full thunder goddess this Halloween.
