    The areas are governed by the barons. But only Thors are entitled to enforce the law of their master wherever he sees fit, their power being above that of the barons.

    At first brigade Thors is somewhat the Green Lantern Corps Battleword, ie the super-group loosely based police morals, with pairs of "partners", and (very) vague procedural issues . In any case this is how it is expressed in the central miniseries Secret Wars, where some Thors are cannon fodder. Seeing Jason Aaron the screenplay boss of the Thor universe in recent years to launch a specific mini, one might think that the author was going to bring order. Actually, no, the scriptwriter does not rush into the open door where he was expected. Rather, it acknowledges the new situation (of course we must understand that it probably involved with Hickman, the idea of ​​Thors) and revels. Then Thors are super cops, so he installs that require serial murder that sends two Thors (one based on that of the Ultimate universe, the other on Beta Ray Bill) not in fashion " big guys "but comprising investigators" police of the police ". Imagine the world of Thor if télescopait with a TV series from Dick Wolf! From there, it becomes crazy (in a good way) and smiled at playing the "sergeant of the police station," which became the "scientific police", which will be the "snitch" ...

    We follow the Thor of the Ultimate universe, elite cop and his friends Beta Ray Bill, Thor- Groot, Thor Tornado and a few others like the coroner Throg the frog worthy of Thor's hammer, which can here talk and interact with humans in contrast to his first appearance in the 80s (it was then the real Thor turned into a frog by Loki).

    They go up the trail of the murder of a woman whose multiple avatars were killed in several areas.

    This number was fun because the context is new: Thor cop "FBI" !!!
    They are found in lonely bays cops there, the snitches, the commissioner mouth (here the Thor of the end of time), the humor of buddy movies (the anger scale of 1 to Fin Fang Foom through the names other giant monsters is a killer!) and of course the dark side.
    I was conquered by the number 1 of this mini series with a punchy dialogues and hopes well balanced mystery and surprising because it begins with all the cliches and all the ideal suspect.
    Anyway, a very good first number.

    Concordances seem to be too strong to not be a calculated tribute: one thinks immediately of this episode of Top Ten (Alan Moore / Gene Ha) where other super cops were investigating the murder of an Asgardian in a bar. It's also a great opportunity to draw on the style of Chris Sprouse, too rare in general and more rare at Marvel. Sprouse and Aaron go to the bottom of their logic, takes advantage of events to tell us a kind of exercise that can only exist on Battleworld. It is iconoclastic, funny and unexpected.

    "Homo superior" is really a political term more than scientific. Scientifically, they are human.

    Yep. A single gene doesn't make them a single species. And their X-gene is also their only common bond among themselves, biologically speaking; they are so different to each other as they are to baseline humans.

    They are regarded as a new species because Xavier, Magneto and Bolivar Trask all believed that they were and new species and they convinced the rest of the world that they are.

    they get powers later on in life, unlike humans.

    Consider that humans in MU are the result of an alteration of the DNA of original hominids, and the arise of superpower IS part of the package. That's why non-mutant superhumans can survive their superpowers(case in point Cap and his prototypes. Only Cap and few others surivved the process, most other just died, burned up. And Captain America powers are essentially the most basilar ones.)
    Celestials alterated humankind to have superpowers eventually. Too bad that a motherload of later alteration by external forces(Name an alien, elder, insane extradimensional/extra planetary entity or group and you can bet the ****ed the ***t out of humankind DNA...sometimes even accidentally, like in the case of skrull kill krew just accelerated the process. Nukes were just the straws the broke the genetic camel back.

    Mutants as depicted in Marvel do not meet the biological criteria for a separate species. Without getting into too much detail, basically regular humans and mutants can still procreate with each other and have viable offspring. So, not a separate species.

    Sounds very much like Inhumans. Wouldn't surprise me that what humans call mutants are just another branch off the Kree Inhuman experiment. After all, the Kree had all those different coloured gases they use. Mutants could be the yellow gas? And sounds a bit like Prometheus, as well. Drug poured in a river, fish absorb it, humans eat fish, mutants. Only one river, so only one strain of mutants from that area. Time goes on, and mutants spread. Why aren't there mutants in the sea? Namor.
