Biography
Origin
Jane Foster
Her mother developed cancer when she was nine years old with the condition being fatal. (Unworthy Thor v1 #4) Prior to her death, she told her daughter to have faith and find a God to believe in though Jane did not heed her words as she was at first angry at the idea of believing in a higher being due to the loss of her mother. (Mighty Thor v1 #704) Afterwards, she was cared for by her father who was a plumber and worked two jobs in order to pay for his daughter to go through medical school with him exhausting himself in the process. Despite that, he provided Jane a good childhood as he never missed any of her softball games or forgetting her birthday and always encouraged her in anything she set her mind towards accomplishing. (Unworthy Thor v1 #4) Years ago, Jane had become a nurse when her father had developed complications from a heart attack leading to his death with Dr. Blake informing her of his passing with him being the last family member she had with her saying goodbye to him. (Mighty Thor v1 #704)
Thor
She began to hear the voice from Mjolnir calling to her with Heimdall transporting her to the Moon where the weapon rested. This saw her reaching out to it and being worthy of wielding the hammer which transformed her into the new Thor. (Mighty Thor v1 #705) She was transformed by the magic of the weapon where her entire physique was changed as she became a superhero with all the powers of the God of Thunder. (Thor v4 #1)
Cul alongside his new Thunder Guard ambushed the new Thor at the Rainbow Bridge at Asgardia. (Mighty Thor v2 #2)
Thus, Jane died where she appeared in the afterlife at the gates of Valhalla where Odin was prepared to take her to the heavenly realm for his service after coming to term with her actions. She, however, expressed doubts that this was the end for her as she felt that she had more to give to the world. At the same time, Thor harnessed the power of the Mother Storm and channelled it in an effort to return Jane to life. With Odin's help, the pair were able to restore Jane Foster to life allowing her to return as a mortal once more. With the hammer destroyed, her time as Thor had come to an end but she urged for Thor Odison to reclaim the mantle to protect all the realms whilst Jane had a new lease at life with her undertaking treatment to deal with the cancer in her body. (Mighty Thor v1 #706)
Whilst maintaining her treatment, she was informed that her cancer had gone into full remission with her hair starting to grow back as she continued her medical duties. (Thor v5 #11)
She ended up picking up the hammer of the War Thor though its power did not corrupt her but instead transformed her back into her Thor guise. Jane then joined the Odinson who had a plan to defeat Malekith after sacrificing his eye to the World Tree for knowledge. He summoned the past and future version of himself with the four Thors then arriving at the site where the Odinson's parents were being held captive. With their power, the Thor's were able to free Odin and Freyga with Jane sending her hammer's last bit of energy to strike Laufey on Midgard thus allowing the Frost Giant to be defeated.

Jane then went to the dissipating energy of the War Thor hammer where she was glad to be able to wield the lightning one last time when the last remnant of the weapon then morphed into a manacle around Jane's arm. (War of the Realms v1 #6) It thus became Undrjarn the All-Weapon where she was transformed into the new Valkyrie in order to usher the souls of the dead to Valhalla. (War of the Realms Omega v1 #1)
