the comic book origin of Thor his thora
jhin’s if you will
as with most comic book characters there
are often reimagining and different
versions to a character’s past we have
chosen to primarily follow the storyline
which unfolded in 1962 s journey into
mystery number 83 and was expanded upon
in 1968 thor number 59 and 1983 s for
annual 11th vastly different from the
thor that audiences know today the
Marvel hero once possessed a secret
identity which was central to the
character in fact Thor’s original comic
book outing began following an American
doctor named Donald Blake who was
visiting remote parts of Norway it was
during his trip that Blake encountered
aliens from Saturn who were scouting
earth in the planning of their grand
invasion attempting to hide Blake ducked
into a nearby cave only to discover that
a large boulder blocked the other exit
just as he was about to be discovered by
the aliens who were nearly upon him a
secret door open and Blake stumbled upon
a relic an ancient cane nearly out of
time and fresh out of options
the frustrated Blake struck the boulder
with the cane which incredibly
transformed it into a mighty hammer and
himself into Thor the Norse god of
thunder asked Thor he was able to easily
move the boulder and escape the cave he
then discovered that in order to remain
as Thor he must continually hold the
hammer which held untold abilities and
powers
soon after the alien army from Saturn
began their invasion and Earth’s
defenses proved no match for their
superior alien technology just when all
seemed lost Thor used his mighty hammer
to defeat the aliens and send them
fleeing back to their homeworld in issue
number 158 Thor was struggling with an
identity crisis and began to reminisce
on his past
this included thinking back on his
various battles and his relationships
with both the earthling Jane Foster and
the goddess SIF in the next issue for
number 159 Thor in his human form as
Donald Blake asked Odin for answers to
his true identity which Odin agreed to
provide Odin told him the story of a
young and reckless Thor who broke a
truce between the S Guardians and the
Giants of Nephilim upon returning to
Asgard Thor engaged in an arm wrestling
match with someone at a local tavern
which eventually resulted in a huge
brawl an infuriated Odin berated his son
Thor criticizing him for lack of
humility you are a vain greedy good boy
you are an old man and a fool as
punishment Odin decided to send Thor to
earth to live the life of a mortal with
a disability I now take from you your
power
ha
also made for a doctor so he would be
forced to help the sick and the wounded
it’s too quiet I don’t like it
something is about to happen I can sense
it in the air I’d better search the
streets for telltale signs of danger
Oden had likewise hid the mighty hammer
Mjolnir
but orchestrated events so that Thor
would eventually find it only after he
learned his lesson whosoever holds this
hammer if he be worthy shall possess the
bow
Thor’s origin was expanded even further
in Thor annual number 11 here Odin was
shown to have wanted a son with the
power of both heaven and earth visiting
Midgard or earth to us he seduced yourhd
the personification of the earth when
Thor was born odin brought him back to
Asgard to be raised by his wife
Frigga she was totally cool with it
though over the years Thor would
constantly have his hands full with the
evil schemes of his adoptive brother
Loki Loki eventually got so out of hand
that Thor teamed up with ant-man wasp
Hulk and Iron Man to stop him by working
together they were able to stop Loki and
decided to continue working together as
a team calling themselves the Avengers
Thor would remain an essential part of
the Avengers until eventually stepping
down from the team in Avengers vol 3
number 63 like most comic book heroes
Thor has gone through numerous
re-imaginings perhaps none more
prominent than in the Ultimate Universe
in this version of the character Thor
has no human alter ego and is a
reluctant warrior with a personality
that other people consider to be
unbearable while Thor never received his
own ultimate comic book he has appeared
in many different ultimate storylines as
a member of The Ultimates aside from the
comics Thor has appeared in various
media in the 1960s he starred in his own
segment of the animated series the
Marvel superheroes recently Thor has
grown into popularity thanks to Chris
Hemsworth’s portrayal in the Marvel
Cinematic Universe
yawp is under my protection okay
that’s your doing a marvelous job with
that and was featured prominently in the
animated series The Avengers
Earth’s Mightiest Heroes hold up for
however this Joker is he took all of us
