Played again multiple times before Kid Loki made his debut, Loki often created his own problems by accident. E.I. The Avengers assembling for the first time to fight him. And his biggest one is the creation of Desak after he imprisoned his maker to power The Destroyer. I cannot help but wonder, little god, to the poor damned fools below us who worship you...what are you the god of? Axes? Drunkenness? Vanity? Or war perhaps? I have killed so very many war gods. And gods of fear. Gods of chaos. Gods of blood and wrath and jealousy and lies. Of plagues and earthquakes. Genocide and revenge. Of degradation and death. Very few gods of poetry and flowers. Though I killed those just the same. Tell me now, Prince of Asgard, before all you're able to do is whimper and scream...what was Thor the god of before he died?" Fantastic Ableism: Before being adopted by Odin, Loki was treated badly by the other frost giants for his small size in comparison to them. Powers via Weapon: As the enchantment states, who ever is deemed worthy by the hammer will be granted the power of Thor, even a normal human. This power includes super strength, flight and control over storms.

Best of Thor (118 books) - Goodreads

One of the earliest Stan Lee-written stories featured a scientist who invented a device that could duplicate matter, essentially creating the duplicate out of nothing. Having achieved what's arguably the most amazing scientific discovery in human history, what does he do with it? He... creates an evil twin of Thor and sends him after the real one. For both Desak and Gorr, this was literal. Desak was called the God-slayer, and Gorr was more than willing to call himself the God Butcher, and each lived up to their respective title. Gorr brutally so. Healing Hands: Thor can use his godly essence to heal beings. Combined with the energies of Mjölnir, Thor can literally make an old man feel young again. ◊Richard Wagner: In The Mighty Thor #294-299 (1980) Roy Thomas and Keith Pollard adapt The Ring of the Nibelung as an event that happened in the past with Thor and Valkyrie taking the parts of Siefried and Brünnhilde. Arrogant God vs. Raging Monster: Every fight between Thor and the Hulk is basically this. While most of them end inconclusively, and the question of who is strongest is left unanswered on purpose, the sometimes arrogant Thor can't stand how the child-brained Hulk keeps on proclaiming himself to be the strongest, and neither can the Hulk stand the idea of not being able to lift Thor's hammer. While it is true Thor possesses a greater variety of powers, the Hulk's ever increasing strength through rage keeps proving to make him more than a match for Thor. Sadly Mythtaken: Many details were changed or invented for the series. Notably, Thor is blonde, clean-shaved, unmarried and spoke with a Shakespearean accent! One of the more notable changes was reimagining some gods into brave warriors, like Balder and Sif, partly so Thor could have other gods go on adventures with him/partly to answer the question of who's protecting Asgard with all the time Thor spends on Earth fighting human villains. It was all justified eventually, though; in the Marvel Universe, Ragnarok isn't a one-time event. Every time it happens, Asgard resets, and the same gods, giants, etc are reborn, but with mostly minor changes in appearance and personality. For more details, see SadlyMythtaken.The Mighty Thor. Used as an Invoked Trope in the recent comics. The only reason no one has killed the reincarnated-as-a-kid Loki yet for his past deeds is because Thor has sworn to do exactly this trope if anyone hurts Loki and he finds out about it. Or if Loki just suddenly dies, even if there's no proof, because Thor's not an idiot. Godiva Hair: In Thor 485, Lorelei, younger sister of The Enchantress, seduces magically Ben Grimm (like part of a plan) using a vision of her naked with just her long red hair to cover.

Beta Ray Bill, a warrior alien, bests Thor in battle one time. As a reward for his strength, Odin creates a new hammer known as Stormbreaker for Bill. Bill subsequently fights alongside Thor, the Avengers, and Fantastic Four during an engagement on Earth in battle with Surtur. As Blake, he fell in love with the human Jane Foster. When he requested permission from Odin to marry her, Odin refused and told Thor he wasn't allowed to share his true identity with her. His affinity for Earth has caused many arguments and rifts between him and his father. Apparently someone at Marvel did not like this because when Thor first becomes king of Asgard he becomes Drunk with Power, then Drunk on the Dark Side when Desak comes after him. There is the Kirby Connection, specifically via the Fourth World comics; when Kirby was not allowed to end Thor's story with Ragnarok, he moved to DC and created a new mythology. It started with the immortal line "There came a day when the old gods died..." (if you look very carefully at the illustration, you can even make out Thor); the ancient world from which New Genesis and Apokolips were formed is strongly implied to very much have been like Asgard, and in visions, revealed to have harbored equivalents of the Asgardians. The Asgardian gods of Earth, including Thor who actually had a walk-on role in the Fourth World comics, are believed to be "descendants" of them because they received an exceptionally large portion of the God Wave which empowered all "modern" gods (except for the Fourth World New Gods) after the Old Gods died... The son of Odin uses his mighty abilities as the God of Thunder to protect his home Asgard and planet Earth alike.Thor was born to the King of the Asgardian Gods, Odin Borson, and the Earth Goddess Gaea. He grew up in Asgard under Odin's tutelage and trained in his footsteps to one day lead Asgard. Besides Odin, his stepmother Frigga and his adopted brother Loki are the only family he know, alongside his best friends Sif, Balder, and the Warriors Three.

Two in particular are Surtur, a fire giant rivaling Odin in power destined to burn the entire universe and the Disir, the Asgardian equivalent of the boogeymen who are pretty much immune to all but very specific magic and weapons (including Thor's hammer) and merely saying their name can cause them to appear and kill you. Teleportation: Thor can create "space warps" or "vortexes" that can transport people anywhere imaginable, even other universes. Animal-Themed Superbeing: The High Evolutionary was fond of making these due to his studies in genetics. One of the more famous being the Mongoose who was so fast, Thor (Thunderstrike version) had to call in Spider-Man for help.

Early-Installment Weirdness: Originally, Thor's hammer in Marvel Comics was simply called the "Uru Hammer". However, from the Tales of Asgard story "The Fiery Breath of Fafnir" onwards (Thor #135) by Kirby and Lee, the name Mjolnir began to be used. Undead Child: There's a particularly horrifying one during the "Latverian Prometheus" arc — a dismembered, bloody, visibly decaying zombie-cyborg Frankensteinian monster child. (The same writer's later run on Young Avengers features the ghostly Kid Loki; Kieron Gillen seems to like this trope in general.) Gender Flip: In the comic, Laufey, the "king" of he frost giants, is male, but in the actual Norse myths, Laufey is in fact female.Painting the Medium: The new Thor of 2014 noticeably speaks in the usual Asgardian font, but thinks in regular text — implying that she's not even Asgardian herself. It's later revealed that she's Jane Foster, a normal human. Even More Omnipotent: Mjölnir was crafted by his father Odin with the specific caveat that no one can lift it unless they be worthy. (Specifically, worthy by Odin's standards. This means possessing traits such as honor, courage, humility, and the heart of a warrior-born. Odin can also rescind this rule temporarily at his leisure.) Mjölnir will always go through any impediments (even a planet) to return to Thor's hand, and it (usually) can't be destroyed by a force which exerts less than Odin's own power. However, the first way to know that a new villain is serious business is if they destroy, restrain or lift the hammer by sheer force.
