Why ‘Civil War’ Is Secretly A Terrible Comic Book

8. Clor

As a longtime comic book scholar, it is my pleasure to introduce Clor, THE DUMBEST THING OF ALL TIME. Y’see the thing is, when Civil War came out, Thor was dead. So Millar had Reed Richards and Tony Stark create a part-clone part-robot version of Thor. “Clor”. Yeah, he’s been given an actual name, that name being “Ragnarök,” but I’m not callin’ him that. No, he deserves a name of equal terribleness value to his very concept. Clor’s very existence is out of character for his creators. I mean, Tony and Reed have done some morally questionable stuff in the past, sure, but this is actual supervillain behavior. Never mind the fact that they’re cloning one of their dead friends, they’re also cloning a dead GOD.

Cloning a god is always evil. LITERALLY ALWAYS. Also, he does not act even a bit like Thor. He’s a robot who murders people with lightning. That’s not Thor, that’s the villain from “The Surrogates”. He also serves almost no purpose in the storyline.  He shows up, kills Goliath and sticks around until Hercules caves his head in. All he does is dramatically discredit Tony and Reed. Oh, and the credibility of the plot as a whole. That too.
