Chuck Norris: Kang Kommando

Hey, who's that teaming up with Marvel despot and time lord Kang in this far-out panel from Avengers #143? Could it be the man who exhales pure methane ice...the man who, when he appears on Wheel of Fortune, does not buy a vowel, he disembowels... the man whose stare is so intense he can start forest fires from half a state away...Chuck Norris?!?

What th-?!? Man, never has a yellow arrow labeled "?" seemed more appropriate. It's like Englehart just threw up his hands and said "What the heck, story?"

You know and I know that ain't no Chuck Norris, awesome tho' that team-up might be. 'Tis no Chuck Norris...

...'tis THE MIGHTY THOR!

Oh, thou wacky Son of Odin! You cracketh us up with your wardrobe full of cosplay costumes.

All hail Thor! The Roman Empire didn't fall, it was pushed by Thor. Thor knows only one word in ancient Norse, and that word is pain. And only Thor can tell that pasta came from Pizza Hut, and believe me, that ticks him off something fierce.

So, to conclude: regular-strength Thor: amazing. But Chuck Thorris: freakin' awesome.

    You've kind of left us on a bit of a cliffhanger. "Thor hath not forgotten...?!" I'm on tenterhooks.

    But, but, I always thought Chuck Norris was part of the natural progression of Thor! You know, Donald Blake --> Thor --> Chuck Norris. Seems logical to me!

    They're now called Pasta Hut here in the UK.
