For decades, Thor stood at the center of Marvel history alongside the greatest heroes. As one of the Avengers’ founding members and the bridge between Earth and Asgard, the God of Thunder played a role in countless stories across the Marvel Universe.
That changed at the end of The Immortal Thor #25. Loki used the Arrow of Eternity to rewrite Earth’s past and present, erasing Thor and Asgard from history. Beta Ray Bill took Thor’s place as a founding Avenger, while the Thunder God himself was reborn as a powerless mortal. Now, Queen in Black #1 finally explores what that new reality looks like. While the series focuses primarily on Hela’s invasion of Earth, one of the issue’s biggest moments has nothing to do with the Queen in Black at all. Instead, it reveals the full impact of Loki’s reality-altering spell and just how lonely Beta Ray Bill has become.

🕷️ Spider-Man
You carry the weight of the world on shoulders that are younger than they should have to be — funny, loyal, and endlessly self-sacrificing.
You do the right thing not because it’s easy, but because no one else will.
You understand that responsibility isn’t a burden you choose — it’s one that finds you.
Whether it’s a neighbourhood mugging or a multiverse crisis, you show up.
Peter Parker’s lesson — that great power demands great responsibility — isn’t a slogan to you. It’s the code you live by, even when it costs you everything.
Hell’s Kitchen, New York
😈 Daredevil
You fight in the shadows between law and chaos, guided by a fierce moral compass that refuses to let the guilty walk free.
You use every tool available — your mind, your body, your faith — to protect those the system overlooks.
You’ve looked into the darkness and chosen not to become it, though the line has never been easy.
Matt Murdock’s duality — champion in the courtroom, devil in the alley — mirrors your own.
Relentless, conflicted, and unwilling to stop. That is exactly you.
Stark Industries, Malibu

Brilliant, driven, and occasionally insufferable — but always the person who solves the unsolvable problem.
You lead with your mind and back it up with resources, innovation, and a stubbornness that borders on heroic.
You started out looking out for yourself, but somewhere along the way the world became your responsibility.
Tony Stark’s arc — from ego to sacrifice — is your arc too.
You build, you plan, and when the moment comes, you’re willing to give everything. Because in the end, you’re Iron Man.
New York City
💀 The Punisher
You’ve been through fire that would break most people — and it did change you, completely. What’s left is unyielding, relentless, and operating by a code forged in grief.
You don’t ask for forgiveness, and you don’t expect gratitude.
You see a corrupt, broken world and you’ve decided to do something about it, consequences be damned.
Frank Castle’s war is born from love twisted by loss — and so is yours.
Uncompromising and unflinching — the world may not agree with your methods, but your conviction is absolute.
Asgard · Protector of the Nine Realms
⚡ Thor
Powerful, proud, and on a lifelong journey to become worthy of the legend you carry.
You lead with strength but have learned — sometimes painfully — that true greatness comes from humility and growth.
You’re larger than life, yet more vulnerable than you let on.
Thor’s story is one of transformation: from arrogant prince to worthy king, from isolated warrior to beloved protector.
You bring the storm when it’s needed — and the warmth when it matters just as much.
Brooklyn, New York · The Avengers
🛡️ Captain America
You believe in something bigger than yourself — and you fight for it even when the world has moved on and nobody else will.
You don’t bully the small guy, and you never stop when it gets hard.
Steve Rogers didn’t become a hero when he got the serum — he was always one. So were you.
Your strength isn’t in your fists; it’s in your refusal to compromise what’s right, no matter the cost.
In a world full of people taking the easy road, you’re the one who picks up the shield and stands up — every single time.
Spoilers for Queen in Black #1 below.
Beta Ray Bill Is the Last Hero Who Remembers Thor

As Earth’s heroes prepare to face Hela, Beta Ray Bill arrives carrying an ominous introduction. The issue identifies him as “the last to remember” Thor, immediately confirming that Loki’s rewrite extends far beyond the God of Thunder himself. The revelation becomes even more striking when Bill speaks with Hercules. As Bill references Thor and Asgard, Hercules dismisses the claims outright, insisting there was never any Thor. Bill counters that Hercules can’t trust his own memories because the spell has changed what the world remembers. Rather than trying to convince everyone, Bill turns his attention back to the battle, rallying the Avengers against Hela’s forces with Stormbreaker in hand.
It’s a dramatic shift for one of Thor’s oldest allies. Beta Ray Bill has always been defined by his connection to the God of Thunder, but Queen in Black gives him a new role entirely. With the rest of the Marvel Universe unable to remember Thor, Bill becomes the lone guardian of a history no one else believes ever happened. The issue doesn’t explain how Thor’s erased history might eventually be restored. For now, Queen in Black shows readers more of the consequences of Loki’s actions by turning one of Thor’s greatest allies into the only living witness to a Marvel Universe that no longer exists.
