Similarly, you may ask, when did Jane Foster become Thor in the comics?
Jane Foster debuted in Journey into Mystery issue 84 (1962) by Jack Kirby, Stan Lee and Larry Lieber. In her first two appearances her name was Jane Nelson which later changed to Jane Foster. She first appeared as the female Thor in a cameo in Thor: God of Thunder issue 25 and fully in Thor Vol. 4 issue 1 (2014).
Also, does Jane Foster marry Thor? No, he doesn't marry her in either the movie, nor in the comic books. In the comics, Jane marries her mortal love, Dr. Keith Kincaid. What's this about other people 'becoming' Thor (a comic I recently read had a female Thor)?
