Eric Masterson was an architect who became the successor to the Mighty Thor before adopting his own identity as Thunderstrike. As both a replacement Thor and his own hero, Thunderstrike was one of Earth's greatest defenders and a powerful member of the Avengers.
"The World Still Needs Heroes" It looks like Marvel Comics is gearing up for it's reintroduction of Thunderstrike in November. The title is the saying that is present on the Thunderstrike mace that Eric Masterson used to become the hero of the same name and the image clearly is Thunderstrike with a blacked out character in the background. This teaser seems to answer my previous question on whether this mini-series will happen in the present or the past, as it seems to imply the present. I personally think the blacked out character is Eric's son, Kevin Masterson. What do you all think?
