History
I am Thor Odinson of Asgard. I am not the deity of reason and understanding... I am the God of Thunder and Lightning, and you shall be the latest oaf among the long line of bastards to feel my vengeance. Now, face my great wrathful justice for your cosmic enormities, ye unhinged, furrowed oppressor!

Early Years
Thor Odinson had an idyllic childhood, brought up in Asgard as the treasured son of King Odin, All-Father of the Asgardians, and his wife Queen Freyja "Frigga" Freyrdottir, a powerful Vanir sorcerer who was known to be former witch and warrior in her earlier days. Growing up, Thor's best friend and playmate was his adopted brother Loki Laufeyson, and though they were rivals for their father's throne, they still remained close companions. Loki was taught magic by their mother, while Thor was taught how to be a cunning and ruthless warrior by their father. 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 eventually received the powerful Asgardian hammer, the mighty Mjolnir, which was forged from the nigh-invulnerable metal Uru in Nidavellir per Odin's request by the blacksmith Dwarves, led by King Eitri, with the hammer already being used by the greatest Asgardian warriors centuries before the birth of Thor.
Learning Humility
Exiled on Earth
When his irresponsible behavior threatened his homeland, he was stripped of his power and banished by his father Odin to Earth. While exiled on Earth, Thor learned humility, found love in Jane Foster, and helped to save his new friends from a destructive threat sent by his jealous adoptive brother Loki. During his brief stay on Earth, Thor also had to pretend and cover himself up under the identity of Jane's former flame, Donald Blake, before eventually revealing his true identity and origins to everyone else. In the process of helping stop Loki's attempt to take over his father's throne and kill his newfound allies, Thor's selflessness redeemed himself in the eyes of his father, mother, and his allies which had Thor granted access to his power and worthiness to the Mjolnir once more.
Joining the Avengers
Thor, the Asgardian God of Thunder
After being welcomed back to Asgard as a hero for successfully thwarting Loki's schemes to rule Asgard for himself, Thor visited Earth once again to retrieve Loki after the latter had began his attempt to take over the Midgardian planet, under the secret service to the Mad Titan, Thanos. He then joined the superhero team Avengers, becoming one of the beloved Earth's Mightiest Heroes, and fought with his new team alongside the street-level Defenders among other earthly heroes against the great Chitauri fleet during the Battle of New York and brought Loki into defeat once again.
Second Dark Elf Conflict
After he had returned to Asgard he helped the Asgardian armies restore peace to the Nine Realms. He fought against the Dark Elves during the Second Dark Elf Conflict, defeating and almost killing their tyrannical supreme leader, Malekith, in the process and ending the threat. During these events, he was reunited with Jane Foster after she became host to the Aether, the fluid vessel for the cosmic Reality Stone, and became a target of the Dark Elves. Eventually, the Aether was removed from her body and all the Dark Elves were defeated. Thor renounced his claim to the throne and left Asgard for Earth so he could stay with Foster back on Earth.
Ultron Offensive
During his stay on Earth, Thor helped the Avengers once again, this time in their attempts to locate Loki's Scepter, leading to him joining the fight against Hydra. Following Hydra's defeat and the capture of Baron Wolfgang von Strucker, the team had to stop the rogue-turned Ultron, the once heroic-serving A.I. that was inadvertently created by his own ally and friend Hank Pym which now had threatened to wipe out all of humanity by creating a global extinction event and presumably replace it with his own Ultron Sentries.
Once Ultron had been defeated for the first time, Thor promised his Avenger allies that he would return and went back to Asgard to investigate the visions he saw when being manipulated by Scarlet Witch, which showed him the Infinity Stones. In his investigations, Thor realized that Loki still cheated death and started having another secret plan on his own, to which Thor was extremely suspicious about, distracting his Infinity Quest for a little while longer, before continuing his search for the Stones later on, but not after dealing with his return during the Global Superhuman War, when Loki resurfaced with the Movement Alliance initially with the human guise of Gunnar Freiberg.
Ultimate War
A few weeks since the Ultron Offensive, the infamous Movement Alliance conducted a series of massive terrorist attacks all over the world destroying the Brooklyn Bridge, Golden Gate Bridge, Eiffel Tower, Taj Mahal, and even the Great Wall of China, killing over 1,500 people on the very first day. Consequently, all the Movement's opposing adversaries, Thor and the rest of the heroes were united into creating their own Ultimate Alliance, in order to stop and prevent the Movement from commencing its schemes upon world domination and unified evil sovereignty, before its too late. In response to the continuous attacks, Thor had no other choice but to delay his search for the Infinity Stones and help the heroes of Earth deal with the worsening situation.
As the attacks all over the world have continued for days and then weeks, more and more casualties are sadly, starting to increase in numbers, due to the extreme acts of terrorism and serious devastation, continuously committed by the conflict between the Movement Alliance and its seemingly unstoppable forces against the combined forces heroes and anti-heroes of the world, the Ultimate Alliance, who are not stopping their fight against the villains until they find a way to make them pay for their irreversible actions and restore back peace in the entire world. Thus, in the wake of this impactful response to battle the diabolical forces of the Movement, the Great, Global Superhuman War, also dubbed as the Ultimate War, suddenly sparked across threatened nations and slowly began worldwide.
During the growing threats of the invading Movement Alliance, Thor and the Reserves, a S.H.I.E.L.D.-based team of enhanced individuals, joined and helped the European Defense Initiative into fending off the continuous forces throughout the entirety of Europe against the forces of the Movement (which mostly included the godly forces of the Tricksters of Asgard, led by Loki himself, who washed up and caused different kinds of mischief and evil all over Europe) from ever entering the most-populated countries and cities of the continent, doing their very best to keep the cities safe by letting the wreak and havoc settle far away from the populated landscape, as far away as possible.
Asgardian Affairs
In the aftermath of the Earth's Global Superhuman War in early 2015, Thor had once again brought Loki for the second time along with the rest of the Tricksters of Asgard, as prisoners to face trial by the monarchs, rendering him to leave his priorities on Earth in the process while he was sought by his own father to help him and a small group of warriors in dealing with that could potentially doom Asgard in accordance to the ancient prophecy which their people feared and have been preventing for a few millennia: Ragnarök.
Helping the All-Father, Thor has come to face different from his ancestors' past which came back to threaten his dear home in the present, realizing that the Marauders' War and the Second Dark Elf Conflict were merely the beginning on what's to come in his rough and rocky path to kingship. Throughout the next few years, Thor embarked on quests which gave him more understanding on the history and foundation of the Asgardian people, facing cosmic threats in the Nine Realms which included the the million-year-old Ice Giant Ymir of Niffleheim as well as the Fire Lord Surtur of Muspelheim, both of whom had faced the All-Fathers and All-Mothers of the Nine Realms at some point in the past. Thor would later come face to face with the Midgard Serpent, Jormungand, a powerful creature that was banished on the hidden lands of Earth since the aftermath of the Asgardian-Vanir War, a vital event in their history which held the deepest, darkest secrets about Asgard that Thor has yet to know in the meantime.
Siege of Asgard
When the villainous Norman Osborn became the leader of S.H.I.E.L.D., having to manipulatively convince the entire world of his redemption and transformation as the former villain, Green Goblin, turned into the heroic Iron Patriot, re-branded it into H.A.M.M.E.R. and secretly formed his own dark society in order to control the world in their hands and steal the Avengers name from the team, with the Dark Avengers being publicly introduced as the new representatives of the Earth's mightiest heroes. This idea was thankfully prevented by the reformed incarnation of the Avengers even before it was meant to happen, dismantling H.A.M.M.E.R. and reabsorbing its faction back to S.H.I.E.L.D. once again, which extremely enrages a now-fugitive Osborn and causes him and his Dark Avengers to rely on his back-up plan, the Siege of Asgard.
Having part of the Dark Avengers, Thor's diabolical cyborg clone, Ragnarok conveniently suggested Osborn and his teammates into leading an all-out assault on the city of Asgard, since he knew a secret way to enter the realm. The Ultimates then led a rebellion against Osborn's schemes, but at the cost of several casualties, including Loki, along with the half of the city's destruction at the hands of Osborn.
Royal Civil War
Concurrent to the events of Dark Reign on Earth and after the Siege of Asgard, it was then revealed that Loki has faked his death once again, and, unbeknownst to everyone in the Kingdom, returned to Asgard and successfully removed Odin from the throne after subversively putting him into the longer term Odinsleep, using his incomparably powerful sorcery as he revealed that he was the one who deceived and subsequently manipulated the late Ragnarok and the Earth's Dark Avengers into wrecking havoc across a large portion of their own home in an attempt to claim the throne for the taking without having Thor and his allies, notably Sif and the Warriors Three, find out.
However, it took a few months until before Thor was able to find out about this revelation as he returns to Asgard, and with the help of his newfound ally, Valkyrie along with Sif and the Warriors Three, defeat Loki and the Tricksters of Asgard, leading to most of them being sentenced to imprisonment at the deepest dungeons, located beneath the city, until some of them were given a more tolerable choice to serve the people once more with constant surveillance in a profession aligned with their skills. Despite the All-Father's usual pessimism on the diabolical deeds of his adoptive son, Thor still saw the bright side through his mother's words of wisdom that even like Loki and his former crew are not exempted into redeeming themselves and growing into a better person.
Threat of Thanos
Infinity Quest
Thor clashes against Thanos for the Space Stone during the Mad Titan's Infinity Quest
In 2019, the nefarious intergalactic warlord, the Mad Titan Thanos, who was travelling onboard the Sanctuary II, tracked down the cosmic Silver Surfer, after intentionally letting him escape captivity inside the fleet, on his way to the realm of Asgard, as he tries to warn Thor and the Asgardians on the rebuilt Hall of Asgard upon the upcoming threat that was about to be unleashed by the Mad Titan in his quest to obtain the Space Stone inside of Odin's Vault, who was now possessing two Infinity Stones in his Gauntlet's grasp. Telling him more about, Thor had Heimdall and the rest of Asgardian civilians evacuated to a safe place where they could hide from the incoming skirmish that was about to occur, while Thor, Surfer, and Loki, along with the Einherjar, discussed on how to protect the Tesseract from Thanos. Upon the Thanos' and his army invaded the city and the Einherjar, led by Thor, mounted a defense alongside the Surfer, Sif and the Warriors Three, and Loki and the Tricksters of Asgard.
Unfortunately, Thanos finally arrived in person to Asgard and Thor joined the others to stop him from getting the Tesseract, but Thanos effortlessly overpowered them all in the end, even to the God of Thunder himself, thanks to his empowered Infinity Gauntlet. Even as Thor had momentarily stunned Thanos from using his gauntlet, the latter had only become more fueled with rage as he used Thor's hidden back-up weapon, the Jarnbjorn, in chopping his own left arm off, much to Thor's inevitable agony. In order to save his brother and the entirety of Asgard from complete decimation, Loki surrendered the Tesseract to Thanos, only to attempt to kill his former ally. Thanos then turned his wrath upon the God of Mischief with a deadly strangulation, which almost killing him until the Surfer stopped Thanos in time. Finally using the Space Stone, Thanos decided to spare Thor and his people out of great respect, seeing him as a formidable foe whose judgement could only be decided once he snapped his fingers with all Infinity Stones. Hence, the Titan and his Order returned to his main warship outside of Asgard in order to recover from their fleet's loss and to prepare for their next destination, Earth, in search for the final Stone, the Mind Stone. With the Asgardians' defeat, a severely injured Thor tried to help out the people on Asgard while he attempted to help his allies on Earth.
When the cosmic surfer Norrin Radd came to Earth all the way from Asgard to warn Rogers and the heroes of Earth through telling Doctor Strange that the warlord Mad Titan, Thanos, and his Black Order would attack Earth seeking the final Infinity Stone, various heroic teams have reformed and joined the Ultimates as an act of protecting Vision. He was able to gather the help of Strange and some of Earth's mightiest heroes who were willing to help and protect Vision and his Mind Stone from Thanos. While aided by the powerful Surfer and the other heroes, they were successful in defeating and killing all of Thanos' forces, however, once Thanos himself personally arrived, the tides were completely turned against them and they were hopelessly outmatched by the Titan, who successfully assembled the stones. Thanos would later arrive in the kingdom of Wakanda, and the joint alliance of Earth's mightiest heroes and most dangerous villains did their best to keep him away from Vision. However, Thanos' power was proven to be unmatched, even to all of Earth's mightiest defenders and avengers, removes the Mind Stone from Vision's forehead, apparently killing the android and shutting down his entire system in the process. Thanos had ultimately triumphed over his enemies once he completed the Infinity Gauntlet, using this to finally complete his goal and destroy half of the life within the universe at the snap of his fingers.
When Thanos gained the power of all six Infinity Stones and snapped his fingers to wipe out half of the universe's population, Thor found himself one of the few survivors to be left on Asgard. In the wake of the haunting aftermath caused by Thanos' universal mass slaughter, Thor, along with the remainder of the Guardians of the Galaxy and the newly-emerged Infinity Watch, has finally arrived on Earth find the heroes in order to discuss their next step into finding Thanos, only to find out what was still left on the planet, seeing and realizing that only few of the Earth's mightiest heroes have luckily survived the fall of the battle and the aftermath of the deadly snap.
Despite losing his left arm and losing almost his own life earlier, Thor and his surviving group would still seek help from the remaining blacksmith Dwarves on Nidavellir to have him an upgrade, getting himself an Uru prosthetic arm and would later find the Stormbreaker, a weapon that belonged to his comrade Beta Ray Bill until he was dusted with the half of the universe. Picking up the Stormbreaker, Thor would be using it against Thanos later on as a way of avenging and bringing him and the rest of the decimated back to life.
Infinity War
However, in the following year—exactly after one year and five months of seeming despair and hopelessness across the universe—since Thanos' Decimation, the alliance of the surviving heroes and several redeemed villains on Earth have still persevered, thanks to the overall introduction of Adam Warlock as the final resort and hope for restoring everything back to normal, being aided by the Cosmic Entities, and continues their final battle against Thanos within his Sanctuary in the regions of deep space.
In the process, he overlooked his adoptive daughter Nebula who was able to wrest the Infinity Gauntlet from Thanos' hand. Her first act was to undo all that has occurred, which inadvertently freed the heroes and the cosmic entities and resurrected most of those who have once withered away into ash by the Titan's snap of changing reality, including Thor's loved ones back on Asgard and even on Earth, including his long-time lover Jane Foster.
The battle resumed with Nebula's raging hatred towards Thanos in her attempt to kill him for good, and in the end it was Adam Warlock who finally possessed the Gauntlet, ending the cosmic conflict for the Infinity Gauntlet, for now. Due to the God of Thunder's godly power and heroic courage to stand up against threats as cosmic as Thanos to protect lives even if it would cost him his own, the former was recruited by Warlock to be a member of his Infinity Watch, which Thor had accepted and joined the newly-formed team which lasted throughout the first few months of the Heroic Age, until leaving the group to return to his Asgardian and Midgardian matters.
Facing Ragnarök
Hel on Asgard
Thor faced his half-sister, Hela, in thwarting her ultimate goal of intergalactic conquest
In the late winter of 2023, the infamous doomsday event in the Asgardian culture that prophesied the destruction of Asgard and the end of the Asgardian Empire, has unknowingly started to be set on motion, all due to the unexpected death of the All-Father Odin, who sadly had perished after an assassination attempt was set on him by a secret society, which also happens to have the Empress of Niffleheim's Hel and the Asgardian Goddess of Death who was Thor's half-sister, Hela, as one of their leading members alongside Malekith the Accursed, the lord of the Dark Elves. Returning to her former home, Hela and her secret diabolical society had planned to rule Asgard and create an Asgardian Empire in her own image, followed by her plan to an all-out conquest to rule the rest of the Nine Realms and beyond it.
When the loyal people of Asgard refused to bow to her newly-found rulership, Hela massacred most of Odin's armies and enslaved its people. In the end of the expected Asgardian extinction event, Thor and his joint team of allies and former enemies in Asgard fought as valiantly and strategically as they could at the cost of casualties on both sides that are difficult to count as the war raged on for Asgard. In order to fight his deadly sister whose powers were gradually growing due to her supernatural connection with Asgard, Thor had gained a newly-forged weapon named the Lightbringer, ever since the Mjolnir was destined to Jane Foster as his successor on Earth. During the final ordeal, Hela tried to sway Thor to surrender and see her cause after unveiling to him the darkest origins of how Asgard came to be when she was serving Odin as his proudly firstborn and executioner, before he and Freyja eventually realized that establishing peace was more important when Hela's never-ending lust for conquest had exceeded the World Tree, aiming to conquer worlds beyond the Nine Realms.
Asgard is Reborn
However, when he meditated mid-battle which granted him a chance to communicate with the late Odin and his fallen allies from Valhalla, this conflict had only made Thor realize that they deliberately and reluctantly had to cause Ragnarök ultimately instead of preventing it by having different adversaries such as the Muspelheim Fire Lord Surtur and his equal Ice Giant deity Ymir as the ultimate fulfillers of the prophecy as they and their armies charged into Asgard and irreversibly cause havoc on the land, while also battling Hela's hate-filled monster Mangog, as a means of saving the rest of the realms from Hela's destructive conquest by sacrificing their home planetary realm and preventing the rest of the cosmic nimbus Yggdrasil from collapsing entirely and consequently shattering it throughout the deepest, unknown regions of the boundless cosmos.
Declaring that Asgard was all its people and not just a place as his father and closest allies had once told him, Thor accepted his newfound position as king and the succeeding All-Father, decided to relocate the Asgardians on Earth with the help of his good friends, Tony Stark and T'Challa, who willingly offered to rebuild it with the new repulsor and advanced Vibranium-based technology from Wakanda. The result was a new modernized Asgard built within a remote artificial island, located near the European nation of Norway.
Powers and Abilities
Powers
Asgardian/Vanir Physiology: As the Asgardian son of All-Father Odin and All-Mother Frigga, Thor possesses a number of superhuman attributes common among the Asgardian and other gods. However, due to his unique birth, some are considerably more developed than those of the vast majority of his race. Thor's skin, muscle, and bone tissues have several times the density of the same tissues in the body of a human being, contributing to his superhuman weight. He is invulnerable to powerful energy blasts, weighted impacts, falls from great heights, explosions and various other opposing forces. Even without his godly power, Thor is still physically the strongest and most durable of all the Asgardians. During the events of Ragnarok, Thor has finally inherited the Power of the All-Father, commonly referred to as Odinforce, from his late father as well as his mighty forefathers and foremothers before him who had the power in their prime. This supernatural connection enabled him to tap into the resources of cosmic and mystical energies of the dimension Asgard exists within, enhancing all of his abilities in turn.
