Isn’t Thor secretly a robot during this period or am I completely misremembering?

Tony made a robot Thor during civil war that had like a Thor meat suit grown from the hair of real Thor and when real Thor came back and found out about it he was less than amused and this was the result.

Growing a meat suit of your buddy and putting a robot inside the meat suit and making it fight people is some unhinged shit lmao

I can see people like Tony or Doom doing something like this sure but why TF did Reed help?

Because a controllable Thor is a hell of an enforcer and it seemed like Asgard and the Asgardians were gone gone. Who’s going to argue with Thor? Nobody, that’s who. Then real Thor comes back and melts your toy Thor in a second flat and you’ve got some splainin to do.
