What if a woman had the power of Thor? (What if 66)
Before the view announced Thor was to be replaced by a woman, before Thor Girl, there was one of my favorite issues of What If...
What If #66: What If Rogue Possessed the Power of Thor
I'm not sure if the use of the Watcher was still the common method of introducing What If stories at this point but the story begins instead with Destiny and the other members of the Brotherhood of Evil Mutants inprisoned on Rhyker's Island during the events of Avengers Annual #10 (a really great book in it's own right that introduced Rogue, addressed the rapey treatment of Ms. Marvel in Avengers #200, plus had Spider-Woman). Destiny has a vision of a possible branching path that the world might take.
Rogue's syntax becomes a mix of her own southern accent and Thor's pseudo-Shakespearean speech, and with her new found might she is able to destroy both the Vision, and Jocasta.
In Asgard Odin morns the loss of his son but dispatches Sif and the Warriors Three to Midgard to deal with the threat of Rogue. Meanwhile the Brotherhood of Evil Mutants make good their escape from jail.
Rogue throws the Blob out of the plane, and Pyro retaliates by attacking her, igniting the fuel in the jet in the process and killing everyone aboard but Rogue, who grieves in the wreckage until a kind stranger comes along to give her new life purpose.
Rogue and Loki attack Asgard together and though the combined forces of Asgard's defenders, the Avengers and the Fantastic Four are able to stop Loki's army he and his new protge are able to make it to Odin's throne room.
"His heart soars. For he knows now that though he has lost a son-- he has gained a daughter!"
