I actually had no idea that Thor had this alter ego in the comics until I saw it in Wikipedia. Are you glad they skipped this part of the comic lore?
Oh ok so when did the Donald thing stop? Is he not even part of modern Thor comics now?Its a thing even the comics largely abandoned decades ago, give or take intermittent returns. I think its for the best, all the interesting aspects of Thor involve *Thor*, not the mortal who theoretically is his human counterpart.
Simonson's 80's run mostly put the kibosh on it though since the early 2000's they have brought him back for periods.Oh ok so when did the Donald thing stop? Is he not even part of modern Thor comics now?

I myself think it's just a thing that was very of the time when Stan and Jack conceptulized the character but it has always been rather superfluous to my mind.
Pretty much.Yep. Its one of those cargo cult aspects, like how so many characters have secret identities that don't *really* matter. Marvel in the 60s was innovative, but not so innovative that it didn't end up with a lot of stuff "Because Superman". Or, in this case, "Because Captain Marvel".
