Being a huge Walt Simonson fan I would be remiss if I were to leave out one of the goofiest characters from the Marvel universe, Thunder Frog. Yes, as crazy as it sounds, the God of Thunder was actually hopping around as a amphibian. While he was only here for a short while, he made such a “splash” that Marvel actually comissioned a bust to be made in honor of the Frog of Thunder. He jumped onto the scene in Thor #364 (”Thor Croaks”) and stay in the comic for three issues. He keeps his super powers as a frog and helps his fellow lily pad lovers by leading them against the rats in Central park and the alligators in the sewers. A fun read to be sure and one of the classics of the immortal Simonson run on Thor
