Thor just set up an All-New Warriors trio with Captain America and Spider-Man
The original members of the Warriors Three were: Fandral, Hogun and Volstagg
The idea that Marvel Comics is introducing a whole new Warriors Three, and that the members are some of the biggest A-listers the publisher has, is incredibly exciting, although it’s hard to ignore the stark difference between the new incarnation From the team and the original.
The original Warriors Three debuted in Journey into mystery #119, and the team consisted of three Asgardian warriors: Fandral, Hogun, and Volstagg. The story immediately established the characters of each member, with Fandral playing the part of a dashing warrior, Hogun as the dark and stubborn type, and Volstagg as the cowardly comic relief. Since then, the Warriors Three have become a mainstay in the Thor mythos, as they’ve fought by his side in many subsequent storylines, and even had several Thor-less stories in Marvel canon.
The Warriors Three arguably reached the peak of their real-world notoriety when the team made its live-action debut in the MCU, appearing in Thor, Thor: The Dark WorldAnd Thor: Ragnarok (as well as archive footage in Thor: Love and Thunder). However, despite their long-standing Marvel history, the Warriors Three were never really a major hit with fans. Sure, it was fun to see them from time to time, but one would be hard-pressed to find anyone anxious to see a Warriors three-heavy story. But now, with Marvel’s new Warriors three, that sentiment is sure to change.

The Marvel Comics writer has created some of the best stories with Captain America, Spider-Man and Thor
While the idea that Captain America, Thor, and Spider-Man will make up Marvel Comics’ new Warriors Three is incredibly exciting, it becomes even more so when you consider who will be writing their story. J. Michael Straczynski is crafting Captain America’s current continuity, which has explored who Steve Rogers is as a person just as much as it has explored why Captain America is such a great hero, adding layers of depth to the character that few writers have captured Before – and it’s not specific to Captain America.
J. Michael Straczynski wrote one of the most successful Spider-Man Runs into the hero’s story, one that focuses on Peter’s relationship with Mary Jane, and even expands on the emotional depth of Aunt May. It also gave fans some truly badass moments, like when Spider-Man (in his black suit) nearly kills the Kingpin, as well as a really fun Spidey story that shows Peter fighting a villain on his birthday (with flashbacks to other classic battles with the likes of Doc Ock and Green Goblin).
J. Michael Straczynski also wrote one of the greatest Thor Runs in Marvel Comics history. He literally brings Asgard back from the dead after Ragnarok, iconically placing it in Broxton, Oklahoma, thereby making Thor’s presence in Midgard even more significant. Plus, this story begins right after Civil warAnd shows Thor’s fury against Tony Stark – and that’s just the setup. J. Michael Straczynski S Thor (as with Captain America And Spider-Man) greatly expanded his extensive learning and personal character, standing as one of the best.
