Tara Foster (Earth-4126)

"I am worthy, monster!!"

-Tara Foster

Childhood
Tara was born before her parents were married, so during their honeymoon, Tara was raised by her aunt, Jane. When her parents returned, Tara did not want to go because she thought Jane was her real mother, but she was pried away from her aunt eventually. As she grew up, she paid her aunt several visits and they never lost contact.

Norse Mythology
In High School, Tara was given an assignment about Norse Mythology, and she became extremely interested. She wouldn't stop reading about it until she literally knew everything about the Asgardians. When the superhero, Thor started making public appearances, Tara began believing Norse Mythology was true, and she wanted to be just like Thor.

Valkyrie
The next year, her aunt Jane visited with her new boyfriend, Don Blake. Jane revealed to Tara that they were Thor and Valkyrie. At first she didn't believe it but after demonstrating their powers, Tara's mind was made. She was going to be an Asgardian hero no matter what it took. It didn't take much, as Thor used his powers to create a similar copy to Mjolnir, which only Tara could lift. She was thrilled and finally felt like part of the family.

Young Avengers
When the future daughter of Mister Fantastic and Invisible Woman, Ms. Fantastic, came to the past in order to save the world from Kang the Conqueror, she opted to form a team of teenage superheroes. She invited Tara to join, and she accepted. However she did not choose a code name like several of her comrades did.
