What's Going on With these Tomato Leaves?

Fort Worth, TX(Zone 8a)

I must preface this by saying this is an unusually wet spring for us. In the past month, we've had over 11" of rain, most of it in the past 2 weeks.

Yesterday, I noticed that these leaves on one of my Super Sioux tomatoes was kind of marbled. Wondering if it's a deficiency in the soil or something else going on. It's on new growth, not on any of the older leaves.

im wondering if the plant mutated a little bit and created some variegation? As long as things dont start going yellow, or brown, or leaf shapes getting distorted, definitely keep an eye on it though.

the more i look at it, you may very well have gotten a plant that has gone Chimera, and i would not be surprised if your wet conditions triggered it:

That is so interesting, 'cause I was just out pinching off some basil and parsley for dinner and noticed the very same thing on one of my grape tomato plants! Thank you for the informative link jmc!
