Marvel has just released an image introducing a character named Tanarus, who the publisher is billing as "the new god of thunder." Eagle-eyed fans will recall that the character has actually already debuted in a group shot promoting its upcoming "Battle Scars" universe-wide storyline. In light of today's previous teaser for "Fear Itself" #6, Tanarus' title may come at a cost for the current god of thunder, Thor.

Tanarus makes his Marvel Universe debut as the god of thunder in November's "The Mighty Thor" #8 by Matt Fraction and Pasqual Ferry.
