Hero Terrific : Muggle Hero- Thor
Chapter 5
Thor (Thor Odinson) is a fictional superhero appearing in American comic books published by Marvel Comics. The character, based on the Norse mythological deity of the same name, is the Asgardian god of thunder and possesses the enchanted hammer Mjolnir, which grants him the ability of flight and weather manipulation amongst his other superhuman attributes.
Debuting in the Silver Age of Comic Books, the character first appeared in Journey into Mystery #83 (Aug. 1962) and was created by editor-plotter Stan Lee, scripter Larry Lieber, and penciller-plotter Jack Kirby. He has starred in several ongoing series and limited series, and is a founding member of the superhero team the Avengers, appearing in each volume of that series. The character has also appeared in associated Marvel merchandise including animated television series, clothing, toys, trading cards, video games, and movies.
The character was first portrayed in live action by Eric Allan Kramer in the 1988 television movie The Incredible Hulk Returns. Chris Hemsworth portrays Thor Odinson in the Marvel Cinematic Universe films Thor, The Avengers, Thor: The Dark World, Avengers: Age of Ultron, and Thor: Ragnarok, and will reprise his role in Avengers: Infinity War and its untitled sequel. Additionaly, archival footage of Hemsworth as Thor were used in the episodes "Pilot" and "The Well" of Marvel's Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D..[1][2] Thor placed 14th on IGN's list of "Top 100 Comic Book Heroes of All Time" in 2011, and first in their list of "The Top 50 Avengers" in 2012.
hor's father Odin decides his son needed to be taught humility and consequently places Thor (without memories of godhood) into the body and memories of an existing, partially disabled human medical student, Donald Blake.[55] After becoming a doctor and on vacation in Norway, Blake witnesses the arrival of an alien scouting party. Blake flees from the aliens into a cave. After discovering Thor's hammer Mjolnir (disguised as a walking stick) and striking it against a rock, he transforms into the thunder god.[56] Later, in Thor #159, Blake is revealed to have always been Thor, Odin's enchantment having caused him to forget his history as The Thunder God and believe himself mortal.[57]
Defeating the aliens, Thor shares a double life with his alter ego: treating the ill in a private practice with nurse - and eventual love - Jane Foster, and defending humanity from evil. Thor's presence on Earth almost immediately attracts the attention of his adoptive brother and enemy Loki.[58][59] Loki is responsible for the emergence of three of Thor's principal foes: the Absorbing Man;[60][61] the Destroyer,[62][63] and the Wrecker.[64] On one occasion, Loki's tactics were accidentally beneficial - although successful in using an illusion of the Hulk to draw Thor into battle, it results in the formation of the superhero team the Avengers, of which Thor is a founding and longstanding member.[13] Thor's other early foes include Zarrko, the Tomorrow Man;[65] the Radioactive Man;[66][67] the Lava Man;[68] the Cobra;[69] Mister Hyde;[70] the Enchantress and the Executioner,[71][72] and the Grey Gargoyle.[73]
Falling in love with Jane Foster, Thor disobeys his father and refuses to return to Asgard, an act for which he is punished on several occasions.[74] Thor's natural affinity for Earth is eventually revealed to be due to the fact that he was the son of the Elder Goddess Gaea.[75] Although Thor initially regards himself as a "superhero" like his teammates in the Avengers,[75] Loki's machinations draw Thor into increasingly epic adventures, such as teaming with his father Odin and Asgardian ally Balder against the fire demon Surtur and Skagg the Storm Giant,[76] and defeating an increasingly powerful Absorbing Man and proving his innocence in the "Trial of the Gods".[77] This necessitates an extended leave of absence from the Avengers.[78]
Thor encounters the Greek God Hercules,[79][80] who becomes a loyal and trustworthy friend. Thor saves Hercules from fellow Olympian Pluto;[81] stops the advance of Ego the Living Planet;[82][83][84] rescues Jane Foster from the High Evolutionary and defeats his flawed creation, the Man-Beast.[85][86] Odin finally relents and allows Thor to love Jane Foster, on the proviso she pass a trial. Foster panics and Thor intervenes. After Foster fails the test, Odin returns her to Earth, where she is given another chance at love, while a heartbroken Thor is introduced to the Asgardian warrior Sif.[87][88] Thor battles the Asgardian troll Ulik for the first time when Ulik attempts to steal Mjolnir.[89] The thunder god returns to Asgard to prevent Mangog from drawing the Odinsword and ending the universe,[90] Thor learns the origin of Galactus[91] and rescues Sif after she is kidnapped by Him.
