* AndYouThoughtItWouldFail: Just think about it for a second: an unknown author (Simonson was still so in 1983) creates a pseudo-Thor with the face of the skull of a horse, who raises his hammer, rivals in the love of Sif, even Odin himself treats him like "the second son he never had"... on paper, this should have been a huge DorkAge, reviled by all fans. But it was not. In fact, his work was so good that Simonson is considered one of the greatest artists of the ''Thor'' comic book, and Beta Ray Bill has been accepted as a regular character well after Simonson left, even a fan favourite for many.

unfortunate implications need citations.


* UnfortunateImplications: Donald Blake came back to life in 2007, in the relaunch by J. Michael Straczynski. Straczynski pointed the unfortunate implications of a god "vanishing" a human being from existence.
