Thor Odinson

"There will never be a wiser king than you, or a better father. I have much to learn, I know that now. Someday, perhaps, I shall make you proud."

- Thor

Thor Odinson is the Asgardian God of Thunder, superhero, self-proclaimed protector of Earth and the king of Asgard. Thor made a name for himself as the mightiest warrior on his homeworld and subsequently became well known for his actions on Earth, which included acting as a founding member of the Avengers. He is the son of the late Odin Borson and the late Frigga, and the adopted brother of the late Loki Laufeyson.

Thor wielded the mystical war hammer Mjölnir, which channeled his God of Thunder abilities until it was destroyed by his sister Hela. In an attempt to flee his sister, Thor found himself stranded on Sakaar where he was forced to be a champion in the Grandmaster's games. After escaping Sakaar, he brought about Ragnarök with the help of the Revengers and destroyed his home and Hela with it. He lead the Asgardian refugees away from the destruction in hunt for a new home.

Thanos intercepted their vessel and killed a large amount of the refugees along with Loki, Thor survived the carnage and was found drifting in space by the Guardians of the Galaxy. Bent on getting revenge on Thanos, Thor went with Rocket and Groot to Nidavellir so that Eitri could forge him a weapon powerful enough to kill Thanos and then returned to Earth to join the battle. Thanos was successful in his mission and decimated half of existence.

Thor was devastated and outraged by what Thanos had done and, upon finding out that the Mad Titan had destroyed the Infinity Stones, decapitated him as he no longer had any use. Over the next five years, Thor sunk into a depression, he settled the surviving refugees in New Asgard and ruled as their king but became a recluse, overweight drunk who the Asgardians barely saw.

Early life
Thor had an idyllic childhood, brought up in Asgard, a futuristic Viking kingdom, as the treasured son of Odin and his wife Frigga. His best friend and playmate was his adopted brother Loki, and though they were rivals for their father's throne, they still remained close companions.

Brought up in the warrior culture of the Asgardians, Thor valued strength, courage, and loyalty above all else. He desired to be exactly like his father the war hero, and often remarks on the monsters he will slay and the wars he will win when he is king. Thor would be worshiped as a deity of strength and courage among Scandinavian cultures.

He proves himself a great warrior, often leading his band of warriors (which includes Loki, the Lady Sif, and the Warriors Three) on adventures. However, he is also known to be reckless. This becomes evident when Loki jokingly reminds him that he would be dead had he not used a smoke veil to ease their escape during one battle.

Although Odin chose him as his heir, he openly remarked that he thought Thor was a "vain, greedy, cruel boy" after Thor started an ill-advised war against the Frost Giants. It is later revealed that Loki feels that he, himself was never in contention for the throne because of his Frost Giant heritage. Regardless of his boyish attitude, Thor was the elder brother, and so was always meant to be king.

The Avengers Initiative
Thor tried to save a group of Dwarves and has to fight Imir to do so. He triumphed over Imir and set the Dwarves free.

Thor
"Your ancestors called it magic, but you call it science. I come from a land where they are one and the same."

- Thor In present day, a ceremony in Asgard is about to let Thor ascend to the Throne of Asgard, as Odin is about to finally enter the Odinsleep after putting it off for so long. Thor revels in the ceremony and undergoes the passage of becoming King from Odin. As Odin is about to name Thor king, he senses that Frost Giants have snuck into Asgard and into Odin's Vault to steal the Casket of Ancient Winters. Unbeknownst to everyone, Loki has let the Jotun Frost Giants in, to interrupt the coronation purposely. Odin, Thor and Loki go to the vault to find that the three Frost Giants have killed two Einerjar, before being slain by the Destroyer. Thor insists that Asgard must send an army to Jotunheim as Odin did before him, though he is forbidden to do so. Later, Thor gathers his friends Sif and the Warriors Three and disobeys Odin's orders to force answers out of Laufey, king of Jotunheim.

Convincing Heimdall, the warrior who guards the Bifrost, Thor and his allies visit Jotunheim to interrogate Laufey without success. Thor's pride forces him to begin a battle with the Jotuns which leaves many of them dead or vengeful. Odin arrives just in time to save Thor and the others before they are outnumbered. Thor's actions lead Laufey to threaten Asgard with a new war. As punishment for his actions Thor is stripped of his mighty hammer Mjölnir and his godlike strength and banished to Earth where he is forced to live as a mortal. Thor lands in New Mexico and is hit by a truck driven by researchers Jane Foster, Erik Selvig and Darcy Lewis. Thor is tasered by Darcy when she feels "freaked out" by his behavior.

Thor wakes in a hospital bed where he thinks he is being held captive. He eventually escapes and meets Jane Foster again, who wants to speak to him on how he ended up in the storm which brought him to Earth. Thor is instantly attracted to Jane and overhears a conversation between to two men who claim to have been trying to remove a satellite from a crater in the desert. He realizes this is in fact Mjölnir. Thor is accused by Selvig of being insane due to his claims to be the Son of Odin and is compelled to leave them. However, fate allows him to bump into Jane again, who drives him to the crater where the intelligence agency S.H.I.E.L.D. are investigating the hammer. Thor uses his Asgardian warrior skills to fight past dozens of agents until he reaches Mjölnir, but finds that he cannot lift the hammer because it has deemed him unworthy. Thor is imprisoned by Phil Coulson and speaks with a vision of Loki, who deceives Thor by telling him that Odin is dead and Thor's banishment has been upgraded to a permanent exile, which was conditional for the truce with Jotunheim. Thor enters a state of depression until he is freed by Erik Selvig, who tells the agents that Thor is a former physician named Donald Blake. Selvig then tells Thor that he fears for Jane, should Thor continue seeking a relationship with her. Reluctantly, Thor agrees that he will leave town, the following day. After a night of drunken revelry with Selvig, Thor returns to Jane and gives her a fraction of her research which S.H.I.E.L.D. had stolen. He then explains to her about his godhood, Asgard and the Nine Realms and, for the first time, feels comfortable as a mortal man.

The next day, Thor's friends the Warriors Three and Sif arrive to bring him home, explaining that Odin is alive and Loki has claimed leadership over Asgard. Loki sends the Destroyer after Thor, leveling the small town. When the Asgardians fail to defeat the Destroyer, Thor offers his life to the automaton to save the Earth. A blow from the Destroyer kills Thor' mortal form, restoring his worthiness to wield Mjölnir and reclaim his powers. Thor defeats the Destroyer and promises Phil Coulson an alliance. Thor sets out to return to Asgard, promising Jane that he will return for her and giving her a passionate kiss before leaving. Thor reveals Loki's plot to their mother Frigga and battles Loki on the Bifrost, which is slowly destroying Jotunheim with its power. Thor chooses to save the Jotuns by shattering the rainbow bridge and thus destroying the Bifrost. Odin arrives just in time to save Loki and Thor from falling into space. Loki, knowing his actions have not earned him the respect he wanted, allows himself to fall into the abyss while Thor cries out for his brother.

Thor mourns Loki's apparent death and longs to see Jane again, knowing he cannot as long as the Bifrost is gone. He makes amends with his father, saying the quote from the top of this wiki page, then speaks with Heimdall about the likelihood of returning to Earth, to which Heimdall only offers hope.

Black Widow Strikes
Thor was on S.H.I.E.L.D. screens as a possible candidate for the Avengers Initiative.

Thor: The Dark World Prelude #1
Heimdall noted that the destruction of the Bifrost "continues to shift the balance of power across the nine realms...and into the worlds beyond Yggdrasil."

Thor realized that by saving Jotunheim, he had weakened the other realms. Odin indicated that this has brought the universe closer to Ragnarok. As Odin left to meet with Tyr, Heimdall asked Thor if he wanted to know what was happening with Jane on Earth, Thor stated that he would like to know but not at that moment.

One year later, Thor's mother discovered that Loki was alive and seeking the Tesseract. Heimdall confirmed Loki being alive and informed Thor that the search for the Tesseract had led to Earth. Thor decided to stop Loki but couldn't because the Bifrost was destroyed. However, Odin knew another way. Odin used dark energy to send Thor to Earth, landing in a forest.

The Avengers
"You have no idea what you are dealing with!"

- Thor When Asgard discovers Loki is upon Earth, wielding the Chitauri Scepter and seeking the Tesseract, Odin uses dark sorcery to send Thor to Earth to stop him. Thor lands on the jet in which Loki is being escorted back to the Helicarrier by Captain America, Iron Man and Black Widow, and takes Loki from their custody. Thor tries to convince Loki to give up his plans and return home to Asgard with the Tesseract, though Loki is under duress by Thanos, to succeed with an invasion of Earth. In spite of Thor's insistence on their brotherhood, Loki still resents him. Iron Man attacks Thor and the two trade blows when Iron Man refuses to allow Thor to take Loki away. When Captain America intervenes, he points out that they shouldn't be fighting each other, and asks Thor to put Mjölnir down. In response, Thor brings his hammer down on Captain America, who blocks it with his shield. The shield absorbs the impact, shocking Thor, who realizes they have the same goal and stops fighting.

They return to the SHIELD Helicarrier, where Loki is put into a cell designed to hold and the Hulk and dispose of him if necessary. Thor is quick to point out that while Loki is unstable he is still his adoptive brother. Later, he asks Coulson about Jane Foster and is told that she was moved to a secure location when Loki returned and Erik Selvig was put under his control. Thor is asked by Fury if he is capable of inflicting torture on Loki to reveal his goals. Later as Thor and the others argue, Loki's mind controlled henchmen blow up one of the Helicarrier's engines and help free Loki, also triggering Banner to unwillingly transform into the Hulk. Thor fights the Hulk, being the only one who can match him in strength. After the Hulk has been led off of the Helicarrier, Thor goes to make sure Loki is still contained. When he arrives the cell door is open, and Thor tries to stop Loki leaving. It turns out to be an illusion and Thor gets trapped in the cell. Loki threatens to drop the cage when Coulson confronts him with a gun made from the Destroyer. Loki stabs Coulson and proceeds to drop Thor. As he plummets towards Earth, Thor manages to smash free from the cell just in time to avoid the impact.

It is found by Black Widow and Hawkeye, that a hit to the head can remove the mind-control inflicted by the Chitauri Scepter. Once a character takes a hit to the head (assuming they are not concussed or unconscious) the glowing, Tesseract-colored eyes revert to a character's natural eye-color.

After recovering from the fall, Thor uses Mjölnir's powers to replenish his strength before he heads to New York city to confront Loki. Arriving at Stark Tower, Loki has used the Tesseract to open a portal allowing the Chitauri to invade Earth. Thor again tries to convince him to stop, since the Chitauri are destroying the world he wants to rule. Failing, he briefly clashes with his brother before Loki flees on a Chitauri vessel. Thor joins Captain America, Black Widow and Hawkeye on the battlefield, and starts helping to fight the Chitauri, before Iron Man and Hulk join them. Captain America orders Thor to use his power to stem the flow of enemies coming through the portal, which he does using lightning bolts. He then joins the battle once more and helps Hulk bring down a Leviathan. Soon Iron Man sends a nuclear missile intended for the city through the portal. This destroys the Chitauri base, causing the forces to be cut off from their power source and die, while Black Widow closes the portal.

Once the crisis is over, Thor joins the other Avengers in confronting Loki, who had already been beaten into submission by the Hulk, and takes him into custody. After claiming the Tesseract, Thor takes Loki back to Asgard, by opening a portal with it and leaves the other Avengers in Central Park.

Iron Man 3 Prelude
After Loki was defeated, James Rhodes arrived in New York to help out Tony. Rhodes located Stark in a Shawarma restaurant where he was introduced to Thor and the other Avengers.

Thor: The Dark World Prelude #2
After joining the Avengers to counter the extraterrestrial invasion of New York, Thor returned Loki and the Tesseract to Asgard, leaving Loki to face justice and using the Tesseract to rebuild the Bifrost. He then rallies his fellow Asgardians, including Sif, the Warriors Three and the Einherjar, to help him protect the Nine Realms and join him in battle against the Marauders, who are attacking Vanaheim.

Iron Man 3
Tony Stark states to his girlfriend Pepper Potts that the events of the Battle of New York changed his experiences, saying that "gods, aliens [and] other dimensions" were beyond his understanding, clearly referencing Thor and Loki. While Stark was being held in captivity, Aldrich Killian mentioned Thor, stating that ever since he appeared on Earth, "subtlety had its day".

Thor: The Dark World
"I gave you my word, I would return."

- Thor to Jane Foster Thor saved Sif and his friends in a battle in Vanaheim, before destroying a Kronan with a single blow of Mjölnir and scaring the rest of the Marauders into submission. After the battle, Thor told Hogun that he should stay with his people because Asgard could wait. Hours later, when Odin was watching the Asgardian soldiers train with Sif, Thor came to speak with him. Odin insisted he had now earned the throne and should take it, but Thor declined. At the celebration, Thor was lonely seeing everybody else enjoying themselves while he missed Jane Foster. Thor left the celebrations to see Heimdall and check on Jane. When Thor talked with Heimdall about the Convergance, Heimdall then checks on Jane, but cannot see her (as she has been momentarily sucked into a portal and so becomes host to the Aether). Afraid that she might be in danger, Thor goes to earth.

Thor arrived on Earth where he found Jane, Darcy Lewis and Ian Boothby. Jane walked over to him and slapped him twice, the first to check if he was real, the second because Thor didn't visit her when he came to Earth to stop Loki using the Tesseract. Thor told her that he didn't have time to visit her because of the war of the realms. As Jane was about to be arrested the Aether repelled the policeman. Worried about her, Thor took her to Asgard to be examined by Eir.

Odin walked in as Jane was being looked over and was angry that Thor was so uncouth as to bring a mortal to Asgard. He demanded that Jane should be sent back to Earth, but when Einherjar tried to seize her, the Aether repelled them. Odin recognized the power and explained the story of the Dark Elves to Jane and Thor, now agreeing that Jane should stay in Asgard.

The next morning, Thor and Jane woke up and Jane was amazed by the view of Asgard. Later they went for a walk and Thor explained the story of the Convergence. As he explained, Kurse broke the the prisoners out of the dungeon, so Thor went to stop the destruction. Thor returned to check on his mother and Jane, only to see Malekith kill Frigga. He shouted in grief, and furiously attacked Malekith, but the Dark Elf escaped with the help of Kurse but not before Thor scarred the right side of his face with a thunderbolt from his hammer. Thor attended his mother's funeral that night. Loki was kept in the dungeons, unable to attend.

Thor tried to talk to Odin and persuade him of an alternative to staying and waiting for the Elves to come back, but Odin refused. Heimdall, Volstagg, Fandral and Sif agreed to help Thor break Jane and Loki out of Asgard, in an effort to save the Nine Realms from Malekith. Thor visited Loki, who was hell bent on vengeance for his 'mother'. Thor devised a plan to defeat Malekith: he would follow Malekith to Svartalfheim, force him to separate the Aether from Jane, and then destroy it himself.

After a daring escape, Thor and Loki reached Svartalfheim in a commandeered stealth ship left behind by the elves, while Jane, who was also with them, slipped into unconsciousness. When the pair reached Malekith, Loki tricked the elves into believing that he had severed Thor's hand and then turned Jane over to them. Malekith proceeded to extract the Aether from her, but when the brothers dropped their ruse so that Thor could destroy it, Malekith absorbed it into himself instead. During the ensuing battle, the brothers fought Algrim/Kurse together, but Loki was dealt a grievous blow in the process of delivering his final attack. Thor went to his dying brother's side, after the fight, and promised to tell Odin that Loki had died a hero.

Thor and Jane chased Malekith back to Earth, where they combined efforts with Dr. Selvig and the interns to stop the dark elf from plunging all of the realms back into darkness. Although the fight was a long and difficult one, Jane's expertise eventually saw Malekith shunted out of Earth's dimension and back to Svartalfheim where he was crushed by his own ship. Duty-bound as Asgard's protector, and needing to face up to his treasonous actions, Thor was forced to leave his love and return to Asgard again. But instead of returning to another stern dressing down, he found that his actions had earned him a pardon and also a further gift. He requested that he be allowed to return to Jane. In light of the boldness of the request, he also offered to hand over Mjolnir, but Odin quietly refused it before letting him go. Unknown to Thor, Loki is disguised as Odin. Thor then returns to Earth and reunites with Jane.

Avengers: Age of Ultron
"You've meddled with something you don't understand."

- Thor Thor, along with the other Avengers, retrieve Loki's Scepter in Sokovia while fighting a HYDRA base ran by Wolfgang von Strucker who was using the scepter to experiment on two people who also fight some of the Avengers. While the team returns to the Avengers headquarters, Thor is asked to give a report on the Hulk, however, his initial report stresses Banner even more and immediately corrects himself. After arriving at HQ, he agrees with Tony's request to stay for a bit while he researches the scepter. This allows Thor to attend a victory party. After the party he challenges the Avengers to lift his hammer. While Hawkeye, Tony, Rhodes and Banner fail to lift the hammer, Steve manages to make the hammer nudge a little, which attracts the attention of Thor, but luckily, Steve gets not further. Thor states that the reason why none of them could lift is because they're not worthy (not even mentioning that Steve managed make the hammer move a little). Just then, Ultron comes in and attacks them. After defeating Ultron for the time being, Thor grabs Tony by the neck and blames it on him. Regardless, all of them begin work on tracking Ultron down and head towards South Africa where Vibranium can be found which is what Ultron needs for his plans. The team fights the twins but Wanda Maximoff subdues them with visions. Thor's vision causes him to investigate the nature of it since it concerns a bleak future for Asgard. After arriving at a safe house belonging to Hawkeye, Thor immediately leaves and meets up with Dr. Selvig and heads towards a cavern which its waters allows Thor to reenter the vision and sees Infinity Stones including the Tesseract and realizes that Loki's Scepter contained the Mind Stone. Armed with this knowledge, Thor immediately returns to the Avengers HQ where Tony and Steve were fighting over whether or not to activate the new organic body with JARVIS uploaded into it. Thor ended the fight by using lighting to charge up the casket thus activating the body. He explains to everyone his vision and reveals the existence of the Infinity stones to them. The robot called himself Vision and assures everyone that he will help them fight Ultron and to show it, he hands Thor his hammer successfully lifting it which shocks Thor and everyone in the room. Thor and the rest of the Avengers succeed in stopping Ultron at the cost of the death of Quicksilver. At the new Avengers HQ, Thor tells Steve and Tony that he will return to Asgard to learn more of the Infinity Stones and decides to let Vision keep the Mind Stone since he proved his worth by lifting the hammer and also feeling that it'll be safe with Vision.

Doctor Strange
"Earth has wizards now?"

- Thor to Doctor Strange In the mid-credits scene to Doctor Strange, Thor makes a brief appearance, meeting with Stephen Strange at the Sanctum Santorum in New York. Strange agrees to help Thor and Loki locate their father in order to expedite the brothers' return to Asgard, thus setting up the events of Thor: Ragnarok.

Thor: Ragnarok
Two years after the Avengers defeated Ultron, Thor leave earth to search for answers and more knowledge on the Infinity Stones, Thor finds himself in chains and prisoner of Surtur who plans to destroy Asgard by fulfilling the prophecy of Ragnarok. Thor learns from Surtur that Odin is not on Asgard, Thor use Mjölnir to escape and destroy Surtur, keeping his crown. Thor returns to Asgard and sends Surtur's crown down to the vaults but then finds Heimdall has been replaced as sentry of the Bifrost Bridge by Skurge who explains that Odin accused Heimball of treachery causing Heimdall to flee.

Reaching Asgard, Thor sees a massive statue of Loki as well as Odin lounging around watching a play about Loki's 'heroic sacrifice' while fighting the Dark Elves. Realizing what's happened, Thor quickly forces Loki who usurped and disguised himself as Odin to drop his charade and demands to know what happened to Odin. It is revealed that Loki had placed Odin under a spell and dumped him in a retirement home in New York but by the time they get there it is being demolished. Before they can plan their next move, Loki is suddenly pulled through a hole and a card with an address is left behind. Heading there, Thor finds in the presence of Dr. Strange who agrees to help him find Odin on the condition that all Asgardians leave Earth. Thor agrees, and after doing some research during which Thor is constantly teleported around the Sanctum Sanctorum much to his displeasure Doctor Strange finds that Odin is in Norway. He then releases Loki from his endless fall, and when Loki goes to attack an exasperated Strange unceremoniously sends them both through a portal.

Both Thor and Loki find Odin in Norway overlooking a cliff having shaken off Loki's spell and he admits that he is dying and Ragnarok is approaching in the form of Hela, his true first-born child. Odin tells Thor and Loki that their sister was completely consumed by darkness and was sealed away but now she is returned. He apologizes to both Thor and Loki for failing them before dying and disappearing. As soon as he's gone, Hela emerges from her prison and engages the two in brief small talk. Seeing that she won't be reasoned with, Thor throws Mjolnir towards her however she easily catches and effortlessly destroys it. Loki, seeing they don't stand a chance, asks to be returned to Asgard however Hela also enters the portal, expels Loki and then Thor from it at different points and then reaches Asgard. Arriving at the Bifrost, she quickly kills Volstagg and Fandral before recruiting a terrified Skurge to her cause. She than heads to Asgard when she kills the entire palace guard single-handedly as well as Hogun.

Thor is deposited by the portal on a planet filled entirely by garbage and finds himself attacked by several scavengers. Now hammer-less, he is quickly overpowered before his attackers are scared off by the hard-drinking bounty hunter Valkyrie. However she then captures Thor and takes him to the Grandmaster who is delighted with his newest acquisition and decides to put him up against his champion fighter. Thor now restrained with an implanted shock device learns that Loki is also present and has been there for weeks time moving far quicker on the Grandmaster's planet during which he has found favor with the Grandmaster. Not wishing to jeopardize his position, Loki pretends not to care and Thor is thrown in the dungeons where he befriends rock-creature Korg who explains that all who have gone up against the champion have been killed. Meanwhile, Hela heads down to Asgard's vaults and uses a living flame to restore her entire army it is revealed at this point that the Infinity Gauntlet that is kept in there is a fake. She then attempts to open a portal and conquer all the realms, but the Bifrost sword has been taken by Heimdall who has been hiding in the hills and is now sheltering the escaping civilians from Asgard.

Thor is taken to the arena and put up against the champion who is revealed to be none other than the Incredible Hulk. Thor is overjoyed to see his old teammate and tries to make him transform back into Bruce Banner however it doesn't work and Hulk thrashes him. Loki is very unsettled to see Hulk that gave him a sound beating during his attempted conquest of Earth. Eventually Thor stops holding back and begins to fight, at one point having a vision of Odin causing him to channel raw lightning. However just when he is about to win the Grandmaster, not wanting to see a crowd and his own favorite be beaten shocks Thor into submission. On Asgard, Hela has the remaining people rounded up and demands to know where the Bifrost sword is. When no-one comes forward, Hela tells Skurge to execute a random person. Skurge hesitates, but is still about to do it but before he can make the kill someone comes forward with Heimdall's location.

After their fight, Thor speaks to Hulk privately. Hulk is now able to speak far more intelligently than he has before. Thor learns that he hasn't transformed back into Banner since leaving Earth two years earlier. He also finds that the Quinjet he left Earth with is still in one piece and could be used to escape. He also learns that Valkyrie is an Asgardian who was part of an elite all-female group who were sent up against Hela during her previous assault but were all killed Valkyrie being the only survivor. Thor tries to convince her to help, but she initially refuses. Although Hulk is happy in his life and wants to stay, he does help Thor acquire the control device for his electronic restraint allowing him to remove it. Thor escapes from Hulk's apartment and reaches the Quinjet, but is chased by Hulk who smashes it half apart. However Thor then plays Natalia Romanoff's last message to him and this causes Hulk to transform back into Bruce Banner. Thor explains to Banner, whose last memories are of Sokovia during Ultron's offensive, what has happened. Banner, unable to believe Hulk was able to remain in control for two years, doesn't want to transform again knowing that if he does then he'll likely remain as Hulk forever. Valkyrie meets up with Loki and the two engage in a brief fight, and after Loki learns where she comes from he uses his powers to make her remember her last encounter with Hela. This causes Valkyrie to have a change of heart and she decides to help Thor return to Asgard, and shows her good will by beating and chaining up Loki. Reuniting, Thor and Loki head down to steal a ship however Loki attempts to betray Thor to the Grandmaster. Thor however had expected this and has instead put the shocking device onto Loki's back. Thor tells his brother he'd hoped he would at least show some capacity for growth and even begin to change for the better, but now he understands Loki will always be a trickster. He then leaves the shocking device turned on with the remote just out of reach.

Thor, Banner and Valkyrie steal the Grandmaster's party/orgy ship and, escaping the Grandmaster's clutches, leave through a passageway known as the Devil's Anus. Reaching Asgard just as Hela is about to destroy the remaining population who had attempted to escape through the Bifrost, Thor engages her in a vicious battle but is still overpowered and loses an eye. Feeling he is useless without his hammer, Thor has a vision of Odin who explans to his son that the hammer simply channeled his powers reminding him he is the God of Thunder. Odin also tells him that anywhere can be Asgard, as long as its people survive so will the society. Now realizing his true power, Thor unleashes a massive lightning bolt sending Hela flying. As Valkyrie and Heimdall attempt to hold off Hela's army, Loki unites with Korg and other escaping fighters and procures a ship which he uses to evacuate the Asgardians. Banner also transforms back into Hulk to fight one of Hela's gigantic hounds. Skurge, feeling guilt over having ever gone along with Hela, sacrifices himself to ensure the ship manages to get away.

Thor unites with Valkyrie and Loki knowing Hela will soon be back as she is only growing stronger from Asgard's power. Thor suddenly realizes that he cannot stop Ragnarok but must instead bring it about, and sends Loki down to the vaults to throw Surtur's crown into the living flame. Loki does so and escapes also takes the Tesseract just as Surtur is reborn and starts laying waste to the kingdom as well as easily killing Hela. Thor escapes with Loki, Hulk, Heimdall, Valkyrie, Korg and the surviving civilians and prisoners just before Asgard is completely decimated. Although Thor is upset about the destruction of his home, he knows that he had to do it to prevent the extinction of his people. He then finally meets his destiny and takes the throne that really is the captain's chair on the bridge where his first order is go return to Earth.

Loki worries over Thor's decision to return to Earth knowing he won't be very welcome there since on his last visit he tried to take over the planet. Thor assures his brother he feels everything will be fine, just as a menacing looking ship which is gigantic compared to theirs appears through the window.

In Thor, initially, Thor starts out as a brash, arrogant, boastful, immature, irresponsible and headstrong prince who defies the will of his father and places his selfish needs before that of those around him. Due to his mighty power and appearance, he felt that he was entitled to rule with an iron fist. However, once he arrives on earth and meets Jane Foster, who shows him kindness and love, Thor is smitten and begins to develop a humble and compassionate heart, as well as selfless and moral traits.

Even as a child, Thor was bloodthirsty as he jesting that he'll hunt down the Frost Giants and slay them all if he becomes king, however, this trait of his completely disappeared as a result of Jane's influence.

Despite these negative traits of his at the time, Thor at least possessed some traits of honor, as he supported his friend Sif in her goals to become a great warrior, while most others would not take her seriously.

In The Avengers, likely as a result of Jane's influence, Thor has developed something of a sense of humor. He can sometimes be hot-headed, especially when insulted or disrespected, like when he met with Tony Stark for the first time, however, since regaining his powers, Thor has tried his best to control his temper.

In Thor: The Dark World, Thor has greatly matured to the point of being responsible, as he has learnt from his mistakes and has grown to such lengths that he surpasses Loki Laufeyson and even Odin Borson, in terms of intelligence and wisdom, as he was the first to recognize that Odin was allowing his grief over Frigga's death to cloud his judgment. While Thor too mourned for his mother, he knew fully well that Odin's plans were suicidal and it was not what Frigga would have wanted. He even went as far as to free Loki, successfully appealing to Loki's love for their mother. Thor proved he still loved Loki despite all he did, as he was genuinely saddened and grief-stricken when Loki seemingly died and promised to report his bravery to Odin and respectfully stated to "Odin", unaware it was actually his father, that Loki had died honorably.

Although Thor was destined to become the king of Asgard, however, he eventually realized, that he couldn't actively protect the Nine Realms from the throne, as he selflessly denied his birthright, even offering Mjölnir to (who he thought was) Odin.

In Thor: Ragnarok, Thor underwent another vast change as he witnessed the death of his father and his mighty hammer was destroyed. Humbled greatly by the clearly superior power and skill possessed by his revealed older sister Hela and his powerlessness to save Odin, Thor lost any arrogance he once had, as displayed by how he pleaded for Valkyrie to see reason and help him stop Hela rather than acting demanding as he would have with any other Asgardian. Thor also initially resented Loki once more, as he caused the death of Odin and refused blatantly to help him rule Sakaar, acting cold towards him, and later on clearly being amused when intending to sick the Hulk on Loki. However, Thor still remains ever-confident and brave, as he was confident he would win against the Grandmaster's champion despite his reputed fierceness and faced Hela despite having been completely outclassed before without hesitation. He also still had the compassion to lecture Loki rather than just kill him despite his attempted betrayal. Thor had also finally grew smarter than Loki, as he effortlessly outsmarted him, predicting his betrayal as being very obvious and sneaking an Obedience Disk on him, catching the Trickster completely off-guard.

Thor also at long last fully could see things as clearly as Odin would at his prime, as he finally realized that Asgard didn't matter as long as the Asgardians could live on. Henceforth, he did not hesitate to order Loki to summon Surtur and destroy Asgard, which earned him Loki's praise due to even Loki stating it was an insane but well-thought plan.

In Avengers: Infinity War, the deaths of Loki, Heimdall and half of the surviving Asgardians has caused Thor to return to some of his old wrathful ways, filled with a murderous desire to kill Thanos in cold blood for his ruthless massacre. This rage has clouded Thor's judgement, as although he is still no longer arrogant, displayed by his humble statement of how he believed it was only because of fate wanting him alive that he is still breathing due to how many enemies had wanted him dead, he made the fatal mistake of not striking Thanos in the head, which Thanos openly mocked of, as he was not at all surprised that Thor's rage would make him want to goad Thanos first before killing him and passively criticized him for his selfishness, allowing Thanos to still wipe out half the universe anyway.

The fact that he is the only surviving member of the Asgardian Royal Family has left him with great sadness and grief, as he has practically lost all he held most dear and the fact he had condemned Loki before his death further added salt into injury. He even lamented the death of his ruthless sister Hela.

Powers

 * Asgardian Physiology: As the second born child of Odin Borson, Thor is extremely powerful and possesses various superhuman attributes common among the Asgardians; such as superhuman strength, speed, agility, reflexes, stamina, durability, longevity, etc. However, many of these attributes are significantly superior to those possessed by the majority of his race. He is the third most powerful Asgardian in all of Asgard; surpassed only by Odin and Hela respectively. Even without his full powers, he effortlessly overpowered Frost Giants, hundreds of warriors, fought on par with Hulk, defeated his adopted brother Loki while holding back and Loki was armed with the Scepter and Gungnir, both weapons being extremely powerful. Originally, it was believed that most of Thor's powers, such as electrogenesis, electrokinesis, atmogenesis, atmokinesis and flight, came from Mjölnir. However, it was revealed by the spirit of the late Odin, that Mjölnir was never truly the source of Thor's powers; as it was merely a tool to help him focus his powers until he was able to master and wield his powers freely, Thor also has the potential to surpass Odin in terms of raw power. As of Thor: Ragnarok, following the death of Odin and Hela respectively; Thor is now the most powerful Asgardian alive, he has also grown in power massively after beginning to awaken his full power, able to contend against Hela and armed with Stormbreaker, severely harm Thanos.
 * Superhuman Strength: As an Asgardian, Thor possesses superhuman strength, he is the third strongest Asgardian alive, surpassed only by Odin and Hela. As of Thor: Ragnarok, following the death of Odin and Hela respectively; Thor is now the strongest Asgardian alive. His incredible superhuman strength enables him to easily overpower hordes of normal humans, Frost Giants, Chitauri, Marauders, Dark Elves, Ultron Sentries and various other species within or beyond the Nine Realms. He can lift or move immensely heavy objects effortlessly, such as when he was able to easily catch a falling car with one arm during the Battle of Sokovia, saving a family trapped inside it and flip a large, wide ceremonial table over on Asgard. He can also easily crush extremely durable objects - such as Iron Man's gauntlets - as if he was crushing a soda can. Thor's strength extends to his ability to leap great distances. With his strength, Thor is able to take on multiple enemies at once, using Mjölnir to send large groups of enemies, like the Frost Giants, the Chitauri or Ultron Sentries, multiple ones at once, with each strike. Using his weapon Mjölnir, Thor's strength is compounded, as he is able to swing his mighty hammer with great speed and force. Thor's strength is so great, that he can throw his hammer with enough force to break through nearly any barrier, whether it be stone, metal or dark energy. Thor was also strong enough to overpower the Destroyer, which had overwhelmed the likes of Sif and the Warrior Three combined and even while holding back his strength, was stronger than Loki even while holding back, as he was able to beat his brother eventually when he was using Gungnir and Scepter wielding his hammer. Notably, he kicked Loki with enough force to shatter glass, lifted his brother off the ground and slammed him with enough force to stun him in their second duel. He also overpowered Iron Man in his Mark VI even despite being empowered by Thor's electricity. His strength is so great, that strikes with Mjølnir are usually fatal, knocking out opponents with one hit, and only beings of incredible power, like the Destroyer, Hulk, Malekith, Kurse, Ultron, Fenris, Surtur, Hela and Thanos can take multiple direct hits from Thor. Hence, Thor was able to shatter a massive Kronan, take down a Leviathan and even break the Bifrost Bridge, all with only several blows of his hammer. Thor's immense strength combined with Mjölnir also enabled him to break out of an extremely durable confinement capsule (specifically designed to hold Hulk). Using his immense strength Thor was able to block a crushing blow from Hulk with his own arm and even punch the latter in the face hard enough to make him stagger. Thor also managed to match Malekith, whose strength was greatly compounded by the Aether, equally with his hammer and eventually overpower him. He later managed to overpower a weakened Surtur, killing him with a fully-powered hammer blow to the head. During the Contest of Champions, Thor's strength and fighting skill made him capable of dominating Hulk even without having briefly unlocked his lightning powers, capable of staggering Hulk with his punches alone and sending him flying across the arena with a single hammer blow as well as even restraining him, only being overpowered briefly upon being surprised and once he saw a vision of Odin's spirit, he soundly overpowered the angered Hulk, generating a shock-wave with his punch that visibly dazed Hulk. When he fought Hela, although he was ultimately no match for the more powerful Goddess of Death, Thor's physical strength and skill still allowed him to put up a reasonable fight on his own against Hela, who had single-handedly killed the Valkyries, among the most powerful warriors of Asgard, managing to slightly stagger her with his punches and inflict minor injuries and briefly pressure her with Gungnir. After acquiring his full power, Thor's strength was enhanced to the point that he was able to contend with Hela during their final battle, managing to lift her off her feet and throw her to Valkyrie, fighting her to a standstill alongside Valkyrie and slightly stagger Thanos and punch off a portion of the warlord's helmet with a stick. He was also able to easily swing around Rocket Raccoon's Milano escape pod at great speeds, and even hold open the massive forge of a Nidavellir star long enough for Eitri to heat the metal, as well as throw Stormbreaker with enough force that combined with his electrical powers, it was able to slice through a beam from the completed Infinity Gauntlet, and lodge deep into Thanos' chest, as well as cause him great pain upon twisting the axe deeper. Although no match for Thanos in terms of raw strength, he displayed being capable of grappling with him for a brief period of time, as Thanos had to use both hands to overpower Thor's attempts to stop him from stabbing him with his own axe and he was able to hold long enough for Captain America to save him and was able to pressure Thanos when having both Stormbreaker and Mjølnir, nearly managing to push the blade to the Mad Titan's head, before Thanos ultimately turned the tides. Among the very few beings able to surpass Thor's strength are Kurse, Hela, Ultron, Surtur at full power, Odin, Thanos ans Malekith powered by the Aether. However, it should be noted that at the time; Thor had yet to unlock his full potential.
 * Superhuman Durability: Thor's skin, muscle and bone tissue are several times denser then normal humans and is almost indestructible, much more so than normal Asgardians to the point that Gamora claimed that Thor's muscles felt as if they were "made of Cotati metal fibers". Even when he was stripped of his powers, Thor was still amazingly resilient due to his dense body, withstanding being hit by a van with ease and only being seemingly killed by a punch from the Destroyer. When he is at full power and armed with Mjölnir, Thor possesses invulnerability, including resistance to powerful energy blasts, immense blunt force trauma, falls from great heights, explosions and various other opposing forces. He withstood the extreme cold of Jotunheim, the extreme heat of Muspelheim, survived a direct near point-blank range blast from Gungnir blasting him out of Odin's chamber, and falling several hundred feet to the ground, showing no visible signs of injury. Thor withstood a 400%-charged repulsor blast from Iron Man, was completely unaffected and uninjured by Quicksilver smashing into him at supersonic speeds, took a mighty punch from Hulk with only a minor nosebleed, and even withstood the full force of the Destroyer's energy blasts. During his final battle with Malekith, Thor was even able to survive being hit by quite a few tendrils of the Aether Infinity Stone energy, and later a blast of Surtur's Twilight Sword flames without any permanent damage, though it should be noted that Thor had not been facing off against Surtur while the latter was at full power. Whenever he is injured, Thor's physique allows him to shrug off minor injuries such as small stab wounds from Asgardian blades, or allows him to withstand a direct blow in the face from a massive Frost Giant and laugh afterwards. He resisted the direct destruction of the city of Novi Grad followed by one kilometer drop in the sea, and was only momentarily unconscious. However, when matched with a rare enemy that is equal to or even stronger than himself, even after he gained his full powers, like Hulk, Kurse, Ultron, weakened Surtur, Hela or Thanos, Thor will eventually sustain injuries, and increasingly show signs of exertion and fatigue, although Thor's own durability will still allow him to withstand their strength and power for quite some time before he starts to drop in power and be injured, as he withstood a severe beating from Kurse, Ultron, and Hela, notably surviving being stabbed with her Necroswords, which easily killed not only the Einhejars with a single hit but also the Warriors Three, who had greater durability than low-tier Asgardian warriors, with no permanent damage, and managed to continue fighting afterwards, overpowered Surtur despite Surtur being at least equal to, if not, superior to Thor in power, withstood numerous blows to the face from Hulk during the Contest of Champions with minimum damage and was still able to quickly get up with no problem, whereas Loki, who was extremely resilient in his own right, was completely wiped out by being attacked by Hulk, showing his resilience and durability far exceeded his adopted brother. After getting his full powers, Thor's durability grew much greater, with him thus shrugging off Hela's attacks and continuing to fight her with no deterioration in his performance and even managing to remain conscious after taking multiple blows from Thanos, despite the fact that Thanos's blows were able to swiftly pummel Hulk to unconsciousness even surviving having his head squeezed by Thanos, whereas Loki was quickly killed by Thanos with less effort, once again proving he is significantly more durable and resilient than Loki, although Thanos implied he could crush Thor's head any time he wants when he threatened Loki, and soon being exposed to the vacuum of space, although all this combined caused him to pass out. Indeed, Thor's durability even allowed him to survive the full force of a re-ignited Nidavellir star, though it leaves his body severely charred and knocks him unconscious and he was close to death and would have died had Stormbreaker not healed him. Thor's physical constitution is so strong the he is able to survive exposure to the power of the Infinity Stones, as evidenced when he was able to quickly recover from being hit by the Reality Stone's powers whenever Malekith blasts it at him and even remain conscious after having Thanos repeatedly press the force of the Power Stone against his head, which if touched by beings less powerful would instantly obliterate them, despite this, he suffered excruciating pain every time Thanos pressed it against him and prolonged exposure would likely eventually kill him, as Loki quickly submitted to Thanos's demands when he saw Thor being tortured by the Power Stone. He was able to endure the 2014 Thanos using Stormbreaker to nearly gut open his chest long enough for Captain America to save him and withstand his punches with only minor bruises and bleeding scars and even while hampered by his poor lifestyle and subsequent weight gain, he was still far more durable than most of the other Avengers.
 * Superhuman Speed: Thor can move at great superhuman speeds. Thor tackled Hulk through the wall of a Helicarrier in a split second, visibly appearing as a blur. He also proves capable of overwhelming Hulk in hand-to-hand combat during their second fight, able to easily dodge his feral attacks and land his own blows and get a grip on him. In battle, while holding back, he is easily fast enough to contend with the extremely fast Loki Laufeyson in combat and although his adopted brother is capable of outmaneuvering him when he is holding back, when Thor unleashed his rage, he was able to easily catch Loki off-guard, disarm him of his scepter and then brutally attack him without Loki being able to react in their second duel, implying his speed at the very least equals, if not exceeds, Loki's. He could also contend with Hela, who had easily killed several Einherjar before they could react, for a time, able to briefly push her back when giving it all he got and land blows and react to her attacks after she recovered before being ultimately outpaced, and after unlocking his full powers, he was able to stay in combat with Hela to an even greater degree, showing no strain in moving fast enough to land glancing blows on her and even to surprise and lift her off the ground. Although he was easily kicked away soon after, Thor was able to surprise and land a hit on Thanos before he could kill Hulk. He also proved to be able to surprise the Mad Titan in their last altercation when he was in a haste to retrieve the Stark Gauntlet and briefly outmaneuver him enough to land a blow with his hammer and slash off his armor with his axe.
 * Superhuman Agility: Thor's agility, dexterity, balance, and bodily coordination make him a great warrior for battle. He moves with incredible grace and speed despite his considerable size and body density. He was able to dodge the wing of a jet fighter thrown at him by Hulk, as well as dodging many of Hulk's hammer and battle-ax blows and outmaneuvering him in their second battle. He can easily keep up with Loki while holding back despite Loki's great agility in both their fights. While his 5 years of constant drinking and becoming fat did hamper his agility, he was still able to dodge attacks with a level of agility that's seldom if ever seen in humans.
 * Superhuman Stamina: Thor's advanced musculature is considerably more efficient than that of a normal human and most other Asgardians. As a result, his muscles produce practically no fatigue toxins during physical activity compared to those of humans and most other members of his race. His virtually inexhaustible stamina enables him to exert himself at peak capacity for an undefined period of time without tiring at all.
 * Accelerated Healing Factor: Despite his astounding resistance to injury, it is possible to injure Thor. After seemingly being killed by the Destroyer and proving himself worthy of Mjölnir, Thor regained his full power and immediately healed himself in seconds. Seconds after being stabbed in the stomach by Loki using Gungnir on the Bifrost bridge, Thor calls forth a thunderbolt with Mjölnir knocking down Loki and stands up completely healed. He was also stabbed by one of Loki's throwing knives but it did little more than distract and annoy him. His most impressive healing feat was him surviving in the core of a reigniting star so he could forge his new weapon Stormbreaker. While he was only left as a charred husk he was able to regenerate to 100% in what appeared to be mere minutes.
 * Superhuman Immunity: When he is at full power or armed with Mjölnir, Thor possesses immunity to human ailments as diseases, toxins, poisons, corrosion, fire, electrocution, asphyxiation, lead and radiation poisoning.
 * Superhuman Longevity: Like all Asgardians, Thor is extremely long-lived, as he ages far slower than normal humans. He was more than likely born shortly before the last Great War between the Asgardians and the Jotuns. Making him over a thousand years old. Humans' life spans are comparable to the blink of an eye to him. As of Thor: Ragnarok, Thor is now 1054 years old.
 * Atmogenesis: Though Thor's Asgardian physiology far exceeds the abilities of a normal athletic human, when he was stripped of his power and found unworthy of Mjølnir, his god-like abilities were diminished so much that he was able to be tasered into unconsciousness. It was only when he was found worthy of wielding Mjølnir did Thor recover his god-like physiology and therefore could go toe-to-toe with extremely powerful beings like the Destroyer. Thus, the hammer enhances a person's physiology to that of Thor, the "God of Thunder". It was later revealed Mjølnir was never the source of Thor's power, but a tool to help him focus his power until he was able to master and wield his powers freely, which he would finally do after Odin made him understood that the powers he channeled through his hammer was his own. As a result, Thor is now able to generate, create and project all aspects of the weather without Mjølnir's aid.
 * Atmokinesis: Thor was born with the power to control weather storms, with it being the reason he is called the "God of Thunder". Even before Thor unlocked his powers, he still displayed a level of control over weather, able to manipulate parts of it, although his focus always seemed to be somewhere else so whenever events of him displaying this power occurred his mind was elsewhere. Among them was when he was able to keep rain from touching Jane Foster as a downpour occurred as well as when he began to generate sparks of lightning from his hands after becoming furious. He began to unlock the full potential of his abilities during his encounter with Hela, and is now able to generate rather large storm clouds and create thunder.
 * Electrogenesis: Thor can generate, create and project electricity from both his hands or his entire body. Whenever he utilizes or is about to utilize his electrical powers; Thor's eyes glow bright blue.
 * Electrokinesis: Thor was born with the ability to generate, control and project electrical energy, with him thus being dubbed the "God of Thunder". Even while unable to personally harness it and needing Mjölnir to focus his powers over electricity, Thor's electric bolts were already strong enough that it was able to blacken an Aether-enhanced Malekith, take down two Chitauri Leviathans and a large amount of the aliens, and his electrical powers was already potent enough that Thor could generate incredible enough levels of electricity as to help Iron Man swiftly smite the falling Sokovia City to oblivion. Following Odin's death and visions from his father's spirit, Thor finally fully unlocked his electrical powers and his powers over lightning are enhanced to the point where he could generate incredible amounts of electrical energy from his own body and summon thunder and lightning from the sky, all without the use of Mjølnir. His new ability allows him to seamlessly integrate lightning into his fighting sequences against Hulk in the Contest of Champions, and then later against Hela and her undead army. He becomes able to use lightning to pull and hurl enemies, blast projectiles to pieces, and infuse his weapons with electricity. Thor's generated lightning bolts grew so powerful that he was able to easily send an enraged Hulk flying back and visibly stun him for a time and even temporarily stun and knock down Hela herself with a single respective blast. Thor was even able to cast a lightning bolt powerful enough to destroy a portion of the Bifrost Bridge that Hela was standing on to ultimately send her crashing down into the water beneath. Wielding Stormbreaker, Thor's powers over electricity grew greatly to the point that he was able to generate a lightning blast powerful enough to knock Thanos back a considerable distance, although it did no harm to the Titan. The greatest display of his electricity manipulation, however, is when Thor charges Stormbreaker with all of his electrical power, and throws it at Thanos with all his might. The charged weapon proved powerful enough to quickly slice through a beam fired from the completed Infinity Gauntlet and grievously injure Thanos in a single strike, with Thanos himself saying that Thor may have been able to kill him had he aimed for the head, although the feat was aided by how Eitri had enchanted Stormbreaker to be able to counter the Gauntlet.
 * Flight: Thor is able to hover and glide in the air. He was able to grab onto Hulk and lift him several feet in the air while they were fighting in the Contest of Champions. He was also able to hover across the Bifrost Bridge multiple times during his final encounter with his sister Hela. He was able to launch himself into the air from the Asgardian palace to the middle of the Bifrost within moments. With Stormbreaker; Thor is capable of full flight.
 * Teleportation: With Stormbreaker; Thor can now teleport to any location in all of existence with a mere thought.
 * Sorcery: Thor possesses some knowledge of the mystical arts; for example, he was able to link his mind with Heimdall, seeing everything that the latter saw; discovering that Asgard was in an utterly dire situation as Heimdall was being forced to evacuate the Asgardians before Hela to imprison or execute them.
 * Mental Link: When Thor linked his mind with Heimdall, his eyes became the same color as the latter, he also discovering that Asgard was in an utterly dire situation as Heimdall was being forced to evacuate the Asgardians before Hela to imprison or execute them, as he saw everything the Asgardian warrior saw.

Abilities

 * Genius-Level Intellect: For over thousands of years, Thor has gained vast knowledge of the Nine Realms' cultures and religions; making him one of the most intelligent individuals in the entire universe. Although he was deemed by both Odin and Loki to be foolish and naïve, overtime Thor would eventually manage to surpass both his brother and father.
 * Master Hand-To-Hand Combatant/Martial Artist: Thor is the third greatest and most powerful warrior in all of Asgard; surpassed only by Odin Borson and Hela Odinsdottir respectively, he is one of the most skilled fighters to ever walk the planet. Thor is trained in the arts of war and various fighting techniques by his teachers in Asgard. He is an expert marksman, and is masterful in all areas of combat, including hand-to-hand and various forms of weaponry available in Asgard with over centuries of combat experience. He is known to be very cunning and intuitive in battle, having fought and defeated over a hundred warriors in Nornheim and battled hordes of Frost Giants with great ease in Jotunheim. He was able to defeat an entire squad of S.H.I.E.L.D. operatives, while powerless and mortal and deprived of Mjölnir, with only his vast fighting skills - note, he beat every single one of them with only his bare hands and raw physical strength. Coulson stated that "he made his men, some of the most highly trained professionals in the world look like a bunch of minimum wage mall cops". He was able to maneuver around the larger Hulk and strike him with ease. As of Thor: Ragnarok, following the death of Odin and Hela respectively; Thor is now the greatest and most powerful Asgardian warrior alive. Thor's skills also allowed him to defeat Loki when not fighting to kill, take down several warriors of Muspleheim, Chitauri, and Ultron sentries with ease, fairly easily dominate and ultimately defeat the Hulk as the Champion of the Grandmaster, who had defeated every other competitor, overpower the weakened Surtur, and he was able to stand briefly against Hela without his full powers, at first only briefly blocking her blows before easily being defeated but he later defended himself reasonably well before getting overpowered again. After acquiring his full powers, Thor tore through many Berserkers with no effort and managed to fight Hela to a prolonged standstill alongside Valkyrie until Surtur was revived. With Stormbreaker and his armor, Thor effortlessly slaughtered many Outriders and even managed to catch Thanos wielding the Gauntlet off-guard and almost kill him. When facing the 2014 Thanos, Thor fought the hardest against the Mad Titan out of himself, Captain America and Iron Man, managing to disarm Thanos of his sword.
 * Master Hammer Fighter: After centuries of practice wielding his hammer, Thor has become masterful in fighting with Mjölnir and is proficient in hammer throwing. He can even block energy shots with Mjölnir, from both Loki's staff and Chitauri weaponry. Not using his hammer for several years did little to hamper Thor's skill in hammer combat, as he was quickly able to dual-wield Mjølnir along with Stormbreaker effectively against Thanos.
 * Master Swordsman: Thor is a highly skilled swordsman, during the Contest of Champions, Thor utilize a pair of blades, as he managing to block several strikes from the Hulk with them. In his second confrontation against Hela, Thor utilize another pair of blades, as he was able to momentarily hold his own against her, though Thor was quickly disarmed. After wielding his full powers, Thor used two swords skillfully to briefly pressure and attack Hela before being forced back and easily sliced through her Necroswords while flying.
 * Master Spear Fighter: Thor is an extremely skilled spear fighter, in his second confrontation against Hela, Thor utilize Gungnir, as he managing to to put up a fairly good fight, but was ultimately overpowered by her.
 * Master Axe Fighter: Thor is immensely skilled in fighting with an axe, able to wield his newly forged Stormbreaker with ease against several Outriders, single-handedly taking down an entire ship of Outriders and even able to severely injure Thanos with a single throw. He also was able to stand his ground against the 2014 Thanos using his sword, even able to disarm him and slice him when he was unarmed.
 * Master Tactician: Thor was an excellent tactician, knowing many tactics from possibly every culture on Earth, as well as all the Nine Realms of Asgard (including forgotten ones). Although he prefers to explode on to the battlefield and smash his enemies to rubble than utilize cunning tactics, overtime this has been overcame as he matures. When presented with the threat of the Bifrost destroying Jotunheim, with the Bridge having gone too far to be stopped, Thor quickly managed to come up with a plan to stop the massacre of the Frost Giants by destroying the Bridge, which not even Loki could foresee he would be able to think of. Thor also managed to swiftly plan successfully to defy Odin and go to the Dark Elves with Jane, succeeding in breaking Loki out of prison and having him taken to the shortcut that takes them to Svartfleheim. Although his plan to destroy the Aether didn't work, he still managed to successfully fool the Dark Elves alongside Loki by planning to be betrayed by the latter while they were actually working together. After being briefly separated from Malekith and reunited with Foster and Selvig, Thor came up with a plan to make use of the teleportational devices to send Malekith away from the Convergence and then crush him with his ship, which successfully ended the threat of the Dark Elves.
 * Master Leader: Even before he became fully mature, Thor was already a great leader, as he succesfully led the Warriors Three for years into several dangerous battles and inspired into them enough loyalty to get them to defy even Odin, as he persuaded them to join him in fighting the Jotuns despite Odin's orders. After he truly learned his lesson, Thor became a much wiser and more able leader, with him being the primary leader of many Asgard's battles to stabilize the Nine Realms following the Bifrost being repaired and doing so succesfully, greatly impresing Odin and making the latter say he has become worthy of the throne. Thor was even able to succesfully lead his allies into allowing him to break out Loki and go to the realm of the Dark Elves with the captured Jane Foster and defy his father directly. Although noting Loki understood what it truly meant to be a leader than he ever would and still not being comfortable with the idea of becoming king of Asgard, this was eventually overcame as he successfully led the Revengers to defeat Hela and ascended to the throne, now having confidence in his ability to restore the Asgardians on Earth.
 * Multilingual: Thor is capable of fluently speaking English and several alien languages; including the Flora colossus'.
 * Intimidation: As the God of Thunder, Thor commands an intimidating presence to the point where many of his enemies across the Nine Realms fear him.

Weaknesses

 * Limited Healing Factor: Despite his accelerated healing factor; Thor was unable to regenerate his missing right eye, after he had lost in his final confrontation with Hela.

Equipment

 * Armor
 * First Set: Thor's first set of armor had a collared blue tunic with red piping, and black pants. Over the blue shirt he wore a black vest emblazoned with silver overlay. He wore a bright red cape that connected at the shoulders of his vest. His arms were covered in a form of chain-mail and he wore detailed, black, knee-high boots.
 * Second Set: Thor's second set of armor worn while fighting in the forest with Captain America and Iron Man. It was sleeveless with a black top covered in silver plates. It has blue pants and black boots. It had red wristbands covered with silver arm bracers. It also had a bright red cape. During Thor's stay on the Helicarrier he removed portions of his armor such as his cape, larger arm bracers and part of his chest plate, while in the more relaxed setting. While heading into the Battle of New York he re-donned his cape and heavier portions of his armor, adding to it a set of chain-mail sleeves as seen in the first set.
 * Third Set: Thor's third set of armor was a layered, collared, black vest with gold plates and blue accents worn over a chain-mail shirt. The vest continued into a loincloth which hung over chain-mail and leather pants. The sleeves ended at arm-bracers similar-looking to the vest with a red underside. He wore knee-high brown boots with gold piping. The third set also featured a bright red cape that was attached to the vest by two gold disks. During his time on Sakaar, Thor supplemented the then-damaged Third set with pieces of armor salvaged from the Sakaaran Armory, most prominently a teal pauldron on his left shoulder and a similarly-colored bracer on his right shin.
 * Fourth Set: Thor's fourth set of armor, donned following the escape of Asgard's destruction but before Thanos' attack, was comprised of a layered, collared black vest containing his recurring silver plates, navy blue pants and short strapped leather gloves. After attaining Stormbreaker, Thor added his signature red cape and chain-mail sleeves in preparation to the Fourth Set for his rematch with Thanos.
 * Stormbreaker: Stormbreaker is a mystical hammer-axe that is able to focus Thor's powers, acting as a conduit, it can also amplify the Asgardian king's physical attributes. Due to the weapon being comprised of Uru; it is almost indestructible, as Stormbreaker was able to withstand energy blasts created by all six Infinity Stones (Space Stone, Power Stone, Reality Stone, Mind Stone, Time Stone and Soul Stone respectively) it can even wounding Thanos.
 * Cybernetic Eye: On their way to Nidavellir, Rocket handed to Thor a cybernetic eye to replace the one that he lost during his battle with Hela.

Former Equipment

 * Mjölnir: Thor has been entrusted with the mighty hammer Mjölnir, that was forged from the heart of a dying star. Thor's mystical hammer Mjölnir, which resembles a mallet rather than a war hammer, has a number of elemental powers. It has been stated by Odin himself that Mjölnir's power has no equal. Mjölnir itself is extremely durable like the Earth metal Adamantium, and, combined with the various enchantments placed upon it by Odin, it is, for all intents and purposes, indestructible. It has deflected three blast from the Destroyer (which was able to disintegrate anything that it hit) and return the blast back into the Destroyer. Thor often uses the hammer as a physical weapon, with almost nothing being capable of withstanding a hammer blow or throw (with the exception of Captain America's shield). As of Thor: Ragnarok, Mjölnir was destroyed by Hela though Thor was able to use a past version of the hammer in Avengers: Endgame.
 * Megingjörð: Megingjörð is mystical belt worn Thor.
 * Retractable Swords: During the Contest of Champions, Thor prepared himself with two swords that are retractable; once wielded, the blades can appear during battle.
 * Eyepatch: After losing right eye in his final confrontation with Hela, Thor worn an eyepatch to cover his missing eye, it is similar in appearance to Odin's eyepatch; except the eyepatch is silver in color. After Thor received his cybernetic eye from Rocket, to replace the one that he lost during his battle with Hela; he has stopped wearing the eyepatch.

Mjölnir Abilities
A few examples of the abilities Thor has shown with Mjölnir are;
 * Weather Control: Wielding Mjönir grants Thor the ability to control the basic elements of a storm. It can control the elements and can create giant raging electrical storms complete with thunder, lightning, hurricane-force winds, tornadoes, tidal waves, earthquakes, and torrential rains on a moment's notice. He summoned a class 5 tornado to battle the Destroyer, a lightning bolt strong enough to destroy a large piece of landscape in Jotunheim and a lightning bolt to knock down Loki on the Bifrost bridge. He was also able to strike Iron Man with a bolt of lighting, but it should be noted that all it did was charge his suit with additional power. He was able to strike Chitauri soldiers and a Leviathan down. The Norse myths and legends regarded him as a Thunder God because of the hammer's influence over weather.
 * Lightning: Thor's main weapon using Mjölnir is a lightning bolt or thunderbolt. He summoned a lightning bolt strong enough to destroy a large piece of landscape in Jotunheim, a lightning bolt to knock down Loki on the Bifrost bridge, shot a lightning bolt at Iron Man that boosted his armor's power reserve to +400% and took down a Chitauri with a single thunderbolt. Thor also shot a massive lightning bolt at the portal of the Chitauri to prevent anymore re-enforcements.
 * Worthiness Enchantment: After Thor disobeyed Odin and nearly caused a war between Asgard and Johtumheim, Odin banished Thor to Earth without his powers. Odin also placed an enchantment on the hammer Mjölnir. "Who so ever holds this hammer, if he be worthy, shall possess the power of Thor." This enchantment surrounding Mjölnir prevents it from being wielded by anyone save those who have been found worthy. When Thor sacrificed himself to protect Earth from The Destroyer he proved himself worthy to wield Mjölnir and gained full use of his powers. In The Avengers, not even the Hulk's incredible strength could lift Mjölnir.
 * Material Transformation: By summoning lightning from the sky into Mjölnir, Thor's uniform was transformed into his battle armor.
 * Mystical Link: Mjölnir obeys Thor's commands as though it were alive. Mjölnir went to Thor when it was in a crater from miles away. It came to him in seconds. Mjölnir will return to Thor when he throws it at an opponent. In The Avengers, while battling the Hulk in a hanger of the Helicarrier, Thor summoned Mjölnir from another room and it came crashing through the Helicarrier to get to him.
 * Flight: Thor is capable of hurling Mjölnir with great force and, by holding onto the leather thong, is capable of flying through the air at tremendous speed. How fast is not specified, but he was able to fly at tremendous speed in Johtumheim to kill a Frost Monster, fly in the middle of a Class 5 tornado, fly from the small New Mexico town to the closet Bifrost site, fly from Heimdall's Observatory to the main hall of Asgard and later from the hall back to Heimdall's Observatory. All of this in mere seconds. Thor is also seen flying during The Avengers, mainly when he fought against Iron Man and during the battle of New York.
 * Speed: Thor is capable of hurling Mjölnir at great speed. In the movie, Thor, he bashes the Frost Giants around him, then throws Mjölnir, making it hit multiple Frost Giants in it's path in mere moments.
 * Energy Projection: With Mjölnir, Thor can project blasts, waves and bolts of electricity and lightning of various sizes and intensities. While the hammer can generate electrical energy, it can channel more energy from the lightning storms it creates to summon its lightning for powerful energy attacks. With Mjölnir, Odin projects a powerful beam of golden light, using it to take away all of Thor's superhuman powers and destroys what was left of Thor's armor after stripping much of it off of him. It also blasted Thor through the air at great speed and into the Bifrost.

Trivia

 * In the comics, Thor is from a parallel dimension. However, in the Marvel Cinematic Universe, Thor is from another planet.
 * Before Chris Hemsworth was cast as Thor, Brad Pitt was rumored for the role of Thor; Channing Tatum and WWE wrestler Triple H were also considered for the part; Daniel Craig was the first choice; and Charlie Hunnam, Tom Hiddleston, Alexander Skarsgård, Chris Hemsworth's younger brother Liam Hemsworth and Joel Kinnaman tested for the role. Hiddleston would later be cast as Loki in the film.
 * The Marvel Comics character was adapted from the mythological Thunder God of the same name by the late Stan Lee, Larry Leiber and the late Jack Kirby.
 * The scene where Coulson finds Thor's hammer Mjölnir is shown after the credits in Iron Man 2. The scene was added to Iron Man 2 to continue Marvel's tradition of including tie-ins to the other sub-franchises in the Marvel Cinematic Universe.
 * Thor's human alias is Donald Blake in the comics. In the film, when Thor arrives on earth, Jane gives him clothing attire that once belonged to her ex-boyfriend Donald Blake. Later when Thor is captured and interrogated by Phil Coulson, Erik Selvig appears and informs Coulson that Thor is actually Donald Blake a member of his scientific staff. An agent confirms it by running a background check in the computer database and turns up a falsified document created by Jane of Thor assuming the identity of Dr. Donald Blake.
 * In Norse mythology, Thor and Sif are married.
 * Sif is also Thor's lover and main love interest in the comics, not just a friend or a teammate.
 * It is stated in The Avengers that Thor was able to get back to Earth thanks to the powers of Odin; however, Loki commented that Odin would have had to "summon up" a lot of "dark energy." This suggests that this action may be tiring, and possibly even dangerous or frowned upon by Odin, and was likely why the Bifrost meant so much to the Asgardians.
 * Thor's suit in Thor more closely resembles Oliver Coipel's sleeved redesign from J. Michael Straczynski's Thor miniseries rather than Jack Kirby's art. His trademark helmet is worn only once in the film, at the ceremony celebrating his would-be ascent to the throne of Asgard.
 * Although being primarily based on the Marvel Universe version of the character created by Stan Lee, Larry Leiber and Jack Kirby, the MCU version of Thor also shares some traits with the "Ultimate Marvel Universe" version of Thor. Both versions of the character go for a bearded look with no trademark helmet and neither have a human alter-ego as in the classic comics. Both are also accused of being a madman when claiming to be the God of Thunder.
 * In The Avengers, when Thor first appears on Earth, his "suit" is a variant of his Thor suit and resembles the classic Thor design by Jack Kirby, with no sleeves and his trademark cape. Later in the film, when on the Helicarrier, his costume nods towards the Ultimate version of the character based on art by Brian Hitch, which had no cape, no sleeves and stripped-down armor. In the third act of the film, Thor summons lightning which magically completes his armor, adding his armor, discs and chainmail sleeves as he looked in Thor, based on the 2007 redesign by Oliver Coipel. Whereas his Thor suit was black with silver discs, his suit in The Avengers is more blue-colored with much of the armor on his torso being silver. As Thor: The Dark World took more visual influence from Norse culture, Thor's outfit from then contained more chainmail and leather, and bronze-colored discs. His uniform in Avengers: Age of Ultron appears to be a minor variation on this suit.
 * Thor's debut film was the first in the Marvel Cinematic Universe so explore ancient mythology, space travel and extraterrestrial life. These ideas are continued through Captain America: The First Avenger and The Avengers.
 * Thor's screen time in The Avengers is 25:52.
 * Thor's screen time in Avengers: Age of Ultron is 14:18.
 * Chris Hemsworth's role in Doctor Strange was uncredited.

Behind the scenes

 * Initially, Chris Hemsworth was dropped from consideration, but had a second chance thanks to Kevin Feige.
 * Hemsworth stated that he gained 20 pounds for the role by eating non-stop and revealed that "It wasn't until Thor that I started lifting weights, it was all pretty new to me."
 * Regarding his take of the character, Hemsworth said, "We just kept trying to humanize it all, and keep it very real. Look into all the research about the comic books that we could, but also bring it back to 'Who is this guy as a person, and what's his relationship with people in the individual scenes?'"
 * About approaching Thor's fighting style, he remarked, "First, we looked at the comic books and the posturing, the way [Thor] moves and fights, and a lot of his power seems to be drawn up through the ground. We talked about boxers, you know, Mike Tyson, very low to the ground and big open chest and big shoulder swings and very sort of brutal but graceful at the same time, and then as we shot stuff things became easier."
 * Hemsworth stated that he was able to maintain the strength he built up for Thor by increasing his food intake, consisting of a number of chicken breasts, fish, steak, and eggs a day. When asked exactly how much, Hemsworth joked, "My body weight in protein pretty much!"
 * Chris Hemsworth has commented briefly on the friction between The Avengers, focusing specifically on Thor and Captain America. "They're used to being leaders and if you put them all in a room, it's going to be about who runs the show," he said. "They all have some friction, absolutely, but it's about the journey of the team. However, the main reason for the team coming to blows is apparently a fairly simple one.The villainous Loki and his mysterious "alien" army. Thor has a different opinion about how this should be taken care of, because it's his brother," the actor revealed. "I think it's heartbreaking, because he feels very responsible for why Loki has spiraled off. He keeps trying to appeal to whatever good was once there."
 * Chris Hemsworth Calls The Avengers "Misfits." "There's a maturity to the character because of the journey he went on, certainly. He was a petulant sort of kid at the beginning of Thor, and by the end of it hopefully you walk away thinking that he is matured and there was a grounded quality to him that wasn't there before. There are certainly moments where Thor says things and there's a sideways glance from everybody: 'What the hell is this guy talking about?' He's not quite the odd one out as much as he was in Thor. These guys... one of them wears an iron suit, one of them turns into a big, green monster. They all have these crazy personalities, and alter egos. They're misfits, and that's how they fit, in a funny way."
 * The two final choices for the role of Thor were Chris Hemsworth and his younger brother Liam Hemsworth.
