In her first comic book appearance ("Avengers Next" #2), Thena was attacked in error by heroes Nova and
Earth Sentry as soon as she landed on Earth. In a fit of rage she battled the A-Next team to a standstill until stunned by a power-blast from Katherine Power.Thena joined the team on their mission to rescue Kevin Masterson, not realizing that it was a trap created by Selene; as a way to use the Avengers' (and other heroes) powers to transform Earth into a newer version of Asgard. And even though both Thena and J2 were used as sacrifices for the spell; they manage to free themselves and Thena (under her father's orders) restores Kevin's powers, allowing him to become Thunderstrike.
Powers and abilities
As an Asgardian, Thena benefits from superior strength, durability and an extended lifespan when compared with normal humans. Also, as the daughter of the god Thor, Thena has similar powers to control lightning.
