Doctor Jane Foster is one of the world's leading astrophysicists, the world's foremost astronomer, the creator of the Foster Theory, as well as one of the premiere experts on Asgard. She found Thor after he was banished from Asgard and fell to Earth while she and her team were in New Mexico studying astronomical anomalies. She helped him in his mission to return to Asgard, eventually falling in love with him along the way. They were separated due to the temporary destruction of the Rainbow Bridge. During Loki's assault on Earth, S.H.I.E.L.D. kept her out of harms way by transferring her to a remote observatory where Loki could not find her.
She found out of Thor's return through the footage of the Battle of New York; this left Foster disappointed and angry that Thor didn't attempt contacting her. During the Convergence, she became host to the Aether and helped Thor defeat Malekith during the Battle of Greenwich. Once free of the Aether, Foster returned to work and Thor had decided to remain on Earth with her. Due to her work studying of the Convergence, Foster was being considered for the Noble Prize in astrophysics. Following the Ultron Offensive, Foster ended her relationship with Thor.
In 2018, Foster was amongst the victims who died when Thanos wiped out half the life in the universe with the Infinity Stones. Five years later, the Avengers were successful in reversing the effects of the Snap, bringing back everyone who died, including Foster.
When Thor and Rocket Raccoon traveled back to an alternate 2013 to steal the Reality Stone, this version of Foster was resting on Asgard. Rocket snuck into her room and extracted the stone from Foster's body, causing her to alert the Einherjar of his presence. Moments later, Captain America arrived in the alternate 2013, returning the Reality Stone.
Jane Foster was a student at Culver University, where her father and Erik Selvig worked together. She later graduated and became an astronomer, dedicating her life to her research, where she built most of her equipment herself. Foster also briefly dated M.D. Donald Blake, but eventually broke up with him. When looking back at him, Foster would note that while Blake was a great doctor, he sucked at being a boyfriend.
Sometime after her graduation from Culver University, Foster began studying a mysterious weather event that she believed was linked to an Einstein-Rosen Bridge. Accompanied by Selvig and their intern Darcy Lewis, Foster traveled to the source of the anomalies, which was out in the desert surrounding Puente Antiguo, New Mexico.[1]
At the end of their first week of research, Foster became certain that another weather event would occur, due to the predictability of the previous seventeen instances. Being sure of her research, Foster, Erik Selvig and Darcy Lewis drove out to the desert in their van one night to witness the event.
When nothing happened, Selvig attempted to convince Foster to give up her search, believing it to be just chasing storms, not connected to astronomy. However, Foster was determined that there was a connection in her research, pleading Selvig to just be patient with it. Suddenly, Lewis alerted the two to something unknown forming in the sky, much to their confusion and amazement.
With her research proven to have been correct, Foster told Lewis to drive towards the occurrence so she could study and record it. As they got closer, a powerful vortex formed in front of them, so Lewis steered away from it, only for Foster to force them towards it. However, when they entered the vortex, they struggled to see anything, causing them to collide with a man who had stumbled out of the dust into their path.
The occurrence then ended, with the vortex disappearing, so they all got out of the van to check on the man they hit. Foster found the man to still be alive, as he got up and began to speak, although none of them understood what he was saying. Foster then noticed markings in the ground, much to her intrigue, so she started to study them, however Selvig suggested they take the man to the hospital instead. The man announced himself as Thor and started to intimidate them, but was stopped when Lewis tasered him. They then decided to put Thor in their van and take him to a hospital.
They delivered Thor to the hospital and signed him in, giving them his name, and then returned to their research base. The next morning, they discussed the events of the previous night, which Foster was now certain was an Einstein-Rosen Bridge. Foster and Selvig reviewed constellations they had discovered which were not from their planet, when Lewis noticed the figure of a man in one of the photographic images captured from the atmospheric event.
