PowersAs the son of Odin and Gaea, Thor's strength, endurance and resistance to injury are greater than the vast majority of his superhuman race.His flesh and bones are several times denser than a human's.WeaponsThor wields Mjolnir, a hammer forged from uru metal.Mjolnir is virtually unbreakable, and allows Thor to command the powers of the storm, causing rain, thunder and lightning.Mjolnir can absorb other energies into itself, which Thor can then release.Thor is able to use the hammer to fly, achieving escape velocities.Mjolnir can also transform Thor into his civilian guises.When Thor is a civilian, the hammer most often becomes an old wooden cane.While employing a mortal guise, Thor will transform back into his mortal form should he be separated from Mjolnir for more than 60 seconds.By spinning Mjolnir in a circle, Thor can open portals to other dimensions.Formerly, it also allowed him to travel in time, but Immortus removed this power.Enchantments surrounding Mjolnir prevent it from being wielded by anyone except those who have been found worthy.Thus far, this includes Thor, Odin, Tiwaz, Red Norvell, Beta Ray Bill, and Captain America.ParaphernaliaThor also possesses the Belt of Strength that doubles his strength, but weakens him after its use; a pair of iron gauntlets to protect him when unleashing Mjolnir's most powerful energies; and a chariot drawn by two goats, Toothgnasher and Toothgrinder.Son of Asgard, the Mighty Thor!Gaea gave birth to Thor in a small cave in Norway, and Odin took him to be raised in Asgard by his wife, Frigga.Loki, who was always jealous of Thor, the favored son.Thor excelled in power and popularity, and on his eighth birthday, Odin had the hammer Mjolnir created, enchanting it with powerful magic.He decreed that Mjolnir would be presented to Thor when he had been proven a worthy warrior, and Thor spent the next several years training and performing heroic deeds.Indeed, eight years later, Odin gave the hammer to Thor, declaring him to be the greatest warrior in Asgard.Thor traveled to Earth for the first time in the Ninth Century A.Thor reveled in his worship, leading many in battle and extolling the way of the warrior.In shock and disillusion, Thor cut himself off from his worshippers and returned to Asgard.The Asgardian religion would never be as fervent, eventually dying out completely over the centuries.Donald Blake
Although Thor continued to perform many acts of battle and adventure, he unfortunately grew headstrong, proud, and selfish.One day, Thor chased a monster into the land of the Frost Giants, a breech of protocol that nearly sparked a war in all of Asgard.Odin had to teach Thor a lesson.He created a mortal body for him, one with a lame leg, and sent Thor, stripped of his powers and memories, to Earth.Thor arrived on the campus of New York State College of Medicine as Donald Blake.He eventually graduated with top honors, gained a reputation as a caring family doctor and a brilliant surgeon, and opened a private practice in New York City.This idyllic life was not to last.The alien Kronans were coming to invade.It was, unknown to him, the same cave in which Gaea had given birth to Thor.In a secret chamber, Blake discovered a plain walking cane.Taking it with him, he tried to escape, only to find his way blocked.Frustrated and scared, he struck the boulder with the cane, transforming it into Mjolnir and himself into Thor.He fought the alien scouts, who retreated from Earth and called off their invasion.By tapping the ground with Mjolnir, he transformed back into Don Blake, holding a simple wooden cane.Thor with many tricks and outright confrontation.One such trick led Thor and other heroes to fight the Hulk, after which the heroes bested Loki and decided to form the Avengers.He forbade Blake from revealing his identity to her, creating a strange love triangle between Foster and the personas of Thor and Blake.Coming Into His Own
Even though Donald Blake knew he was the legendary Thor, he still had no memory of his former life.Norway and battle the aliens as Thor.The love affair between Thor and Jane Foster eventually ended when Foster fell in love with a mortal man, Kevin Kincaid.Thor, Sif, and Kevin Kincaid were later able to rescue Foster, and the two mortals were then married.Although Thor maintained his Blake persona for many years, he permanently gave it up shortly after meeting Beta Ray Bill.Bill had twice proven himself worthy of the hammer of Thor, after picking it up during a battle with Thor and, later, against the forces of Surtur.The enchantment that transformed Thor into Blake was transferred to Stormbreaker, and Thor abandoned his Blake identity, residing in Asgard and commuting to Earth when needed.Later, in hopes of creating another identity so as to more easily remain on Earth, Thor sought help from Nick Fury and S.The organization helped Thor create an identity as Sigurd Jarlson, a construction worker.In this identity, Thor simply pulled back his hair, wore glasses, and dressed like a normal human.The Fall of Odin
When Surtur joined forces with the Dark Elves, Thor, Loki, and Odin protected Asgard by mingling their essences and thereby increasing their powers.Asgard was left without its leader.Lorelei, with the help of Loki, enchanted Thor and caused him to fall in love with her in hopes that Thor would then help Loki become the new ruler.Thor broke free of the enchantment, but the incident had strained Thor's relationship with Sif.But before Thor could return to Asgard, he was turned into a frog by Loki.Thor became embroiled in the battle between the frogs and the rats of Central Park until Thor the Frog could find his hammer.Meanwhile, in Asgard, Harokin, an Asgardian warrior, pretended to be Thor so as to cast his vote for Loki.Volstagg destroyed the machine, which returned Thor into his normal form.Thor then talked the Asgardians into making Balder their new leader.Cursed by Death
Balder, Thor, and others then traveled to Hel, the realm of the Asgardian death goddess, Hela, to rescue a number of Earth souls that had been unrightfully taken by Hela.Immediately afterward, the omnipotent Beyonder transformed the leader of the Dark Elves into Kurse, and Thor defeated Kurse by sending him to Hel.With Kurse rampaging through her realm, Hela grew furious.She cursed Thor that so his bones became brittle and so that he could not die from his injuries.Humiliated but determined to remain a warrior to the end, Thor grew a beard to conceal his facial scars and donned a suit of battle armor to support his fragile body.Loki took this opportunity to release the Midgard Serpent, the beast that was prophesized to kill Thor and start Ragnarok.Thor survived the battle although his body was completely broken and battered.Loki then sent the Destroyer armor to torment Thor, but instead, Thor managed to send his spirit into the Destroyer armor take command of it.Asgard, Thor began having many problems of his own.He began to suffer sudden and momentary bouts of weakness during times of stress.When Thor's spells of weakness almost caused his death several times, Thor asked for help from Doctor Strange, who entered Thor's mind and traveled with him in spirit.Inside Thor's mind, they discovered an evil version of Thor, who battled the real Thor.They then discovered that it was actually a portion of Loki's evil essence caused by the time Thor, Loki, and Odin had become mingled during Surtur's first attack on Asgard, and the Thor defeated the alternate version.Thor, in his identity of Jarlson, had became friends with the architect Eric Masterson and Masterson's son, Kevin.Masterson was kidnapped, however, by the Mongoose, who had previously attacked Thor, trying to gain a cell sample from the god of thunder.High Evolutionary was missing, along with Hercules.Thor, accompanied by Masterson, freed Hercules and the High Evolutionary from the Celestials holding them prisoner in the Black Galaxy.Upon returning to Earth, they were attacked by the Mongoose, and Masterson blocked a blast of energy meant for Thor, giving Thor and Hercules a chance to defeat Mongoose.Odin reluctantly agreed to save him, but did so by merging Thor and Masterson together, body and soul.Thor and Masterson shared a body much as Blake and Thor had, although the latter were never separate beings.They dealt with their new condition, despite the problems it caused for Masterson's private life and custody of his son.Thor continued his adventures, and Loki continued to plague Thor and his friends.During a tremendous battle between Surtur and Ymir, a battle that signaled Ragnarok, Thor recovered Surtur's sword from the Sea of Eternal Night, hoping to confront the fire and ice elementals.Masterson willingly merged with Thor again, even though it meant giving up part of his life.Ymir and Surtur fought over the sword, and Thor opened a dimensional rift that sucked them both into the Sea of Eternal Night.When Thor returned to Earth, he quickly found himself in battle with Loki over the fate of Kevin, Masterson's son.Susan Austin, killing her.Angered as never before, Thor absorbed all of Loki's lifeforce with his hammer, presumably destroying the evil god forever, although this broke Odin's sacred rule forbidding Asgardian gods to kill each other.Loki posed as Odin, banishing Thor from existence.Masterson could still assume Thor's form after striking his cane, and Masteron tried to pose as Thor on Earth, including his membership in the Avengers.Masterson was still able to transform into a version of Thor, and he created a separate heroic identity as Thunderstrike.End of Asgard
Unfortunately, with the constant shifting of identities and sharing of power, Thor was left mentally unbalanced.Madness and, with Beta Ray Bill, the Silver Surfer, and the Infinity Watch, she confronted Thor.During the conflict, Thor stole the Power Gem from Drax the Destroyer, becoming power incarnate.Believing that only Thanos could stop Thor, the heroes elicited his help.Thor fought the personification of his own madness, that of a beautiful Valkyre, and destroyed it.In the meantime, Odin decided that the time had come for Ragnarok to begin, and he needed Thor.He declared Norvell to be his son and disowned Thor.Enraged, Thor severed his ties with Asgard.Odin hoped to bypass Ragnarok by transforming the gods into mortals, but his plan was hijacked by Seth, and put it into action prematurely.Odin hoped Thor would restore the gods to power, but before he could, Thor fell in battle with Onslaught.Thor vanished, along with other heroes such as the Avengers, but, like them, he was merely reborn to another dimension and was eventually returned.God Reborn
When Thor returned, he discovered the Dark Gods had claimed Asgard and held the Asgardians captive.They sent the Destroyer on a rampage on Earth, and Thor and the Avengers confronted it.The Avengers were defeated and even Thor was left near dead.The mysterious Marnot offered to restore Thor in exchange for taking the place of Jake Olsen, a paramedic who died during the battle.Thor agreed, fighting the Destroyer again and banishing it to another dimension.Thor and Hercules uncovered the truth led the battle against the Dark Gods, eventually freeing both Asgard and Olympus and restoring them to glory.Marnot revealed that the Dark Gods had once invaded Asgard ages ago, and Odin had prepared an enchantment on Hescamar, his raven, to seek out a way to defeat the Dark Gods should they return.The raven had fulfilled this by transforming into Marnot and helping Thor.Afterwards, Thor remained on Earth with his dual identity of Jake Olsen.Lord of Asgard
Among his subsequent adventures, Thor rescued Tarene, the cosmic being known as the Designate, who would later take on the identity of Thor Girl out of admiration of Thor.Thor and Thor Girl battled the alien Gladiator, who vowed to destroy Thor in a preemptive strike to prevent a terrible horror that he believed Thor would inflict in the future.As such, Thor was unable to defend Asgard against an army of Asgardian trolls that overwhelmed the city's defenses.Odin was forced to defeat the trolls, and he confronted Thor, disappointed in his son's inability to remain loyal to Asgard.As punishment, Odin stripped Thor of his immortality and left him on Earth.Shortly afterward, Loki brought the Destroyer back to Earth, animating it with the soul of Tarene.Ultimately, the Destroyer was thwarted and Tarene was restored, but during the battle, Thor was severely wounded.Jane Foster could heal Jake Olsen's wounds but remained unable to treat Thor's.Odin brought Thor to Asgard and physically separated Thor from his alter ego to allow Thor to heal and to allow Jake Olsen to return to his life on Earth.Tarene used her powers to restore Thor to full health, joining with Odin and the Asgardian warriors against Surtur.In the end, Odin tapped into both Thor and Tarene's powers to deliver a fatal blow against Surtur, sacrificing himself in the process.In mourning the loss of his father, Thor initially refused to take Odin's place, until a discussion with Jake Olsen convinced Thor to assume the responsibilities of the new monarch of Asgard.When Thor Girl was nearly destroyed in a battle with the Grey Gargoyle, Olsen sought help from the Enchantress.Thor in Asgard of some of his power while Olsen was Thor.Thor, nearly killing him.Thor managed to return from Asgard to defeat Desak, with the help of the Executioner's mystic axe, given to Thor by the Enchantress.Asgard was returned to its regular plane of existence.The fight for Asgard ascended to a level of Ragnarok.While Asgard succumbed to Ragnarok, effectively wiping the Asgardian world from existence, Thor sought out the gods known as Those Who Sit Above In Shadow.Thor refused an offer to join them, instead confronting them in battle.Thor destroyed Those Who Sit Above In Shadow as Asgard died.The Odinpower congratulated Thor on succeeding at his greatest mission.Thor then closed his eyes, apparently joining his people in death.Hammer Falls
Shortly following Thor's actions, the Mjolnir sped through the cosmos and landed on Earth, bringing the seemingly deceased Doctor Doom with it.However, when he reached the hammer, there was a blast of light, and Doom found he was not worthy of the Mjolnir.Reed Richards of the Fantastic Four stated that he believed the flash may have been a signal to someone, perhaps signifying the return of Thor and the Asgardians.Thor has returned, and is seeking to rebuild Asgard.This page has been accessed 852,026 times.This page uses frames, but your browser doesnt support them.Revised, updated, and still unrivaled.The world's premier software reference source.Thor , or any Britannica premium article for free, even those readers without a premium membership.Just copy the HTML code fragment provided below to create the link and then paste it within your web content.For more details about this feature, visit our Webmaster and Blogger Tools page.More from Britannica on "Thor"...Both expeditions were intended to prove the possibility of ancient transoceanic contacts between distant civilizations and cultures.Thor rocketmissile initially developed by the U.The Thor missile force was withdrawn in 1963.Propelled by liquid oxygen and kerosene, the basic rocket was 65 feet (19.Heyerdahl, ThorNorwegian anthropologist, explorer, and writer (b.Although his theories about parallels between ancient cultures far from each other and the possibility that they may have ...Student Encyclopedia Britannica articles, specially written for elementary and high school studentsThor (also spelled Thorr, Thunor, Thonar, Donar, Donner, Thur, Thunar, or Thunaer), in Norse mythology, the god of thunder and the sky.Thor was the eldest son of the chief deity, Odin, and Jorth.Thursday, the fifth day of the week, was named for Thor; the name is believed ...Tiki Museum in Oslo, Norway, contains the primitive oceangoing vessels that Thor Heyerdahl used to prove the possibility of transoceanic contact between ancient, widely separated civilizations.Norse mythology, the evil serpent that encircled the world, biting its own tail.Midgard Serpent, or the World Serpent, because its body coiled around the whole Earth underneath the oceans, and the Earth was called Midgard in Norse cosmology.The serpent's eternal enemy was the ...Mjolnir (also spelled Mjollnir), in Norse mythology, the magic hammer of the thunder god, Thor.Mjolnir (Miller), produced lightning bolts and was Thor's indispensable weapon against the enemies of gods and men.Sif in Norse mythology, the wife of the thunder god, Thor.She was the mother of Ull, god of archery, skiing, and single combat.Sif was Thor's second wife, and Ull was his stepson.HTTPS is to be used
