Thor. Thor was the Norse god of thunder, not to be confused with the god of storms. Thor is often compared to Herakles in his function in the Norse society as well as his basic personality.
In the fields of science and technology, Swedish chemist Jöns Jacob Berzelius (1779–1848) discovered a chemical element that he named after Thor – thorium.
Thor (Old Norse: Þórr) is the god of thunder and lightning in Norse mythology, associated with strength, storms, hallowing, sacred groves and tress and fertility. He is the son of Odin and Jörð, the personification of the Earth, and is the strongest of the Æsir.
In chapter 21 of the Prose Edda book Gylfaginning, the enthroned figure of High divulges that the god Thor has two goats that drive his chariot and that these goats bear the names Tanngnjóstr and Tanngrisnir.
In Greek mythology, Zeus is king of the gods and the master of lightning. Today, we can explore the lightning bolt of Zeus as a metaphor for electricity and the broadcast and digital technologies it makes possible. The ability to wield lightning has been viewed as a god-like power across cultures and across time.
Thor, son of Gods, has enhanced longevity, augmented by the Golden Apples of Idunn. He also possesses superhuman strength, speed, agility, durability and immunity to most diseases.
In some later medieval folklore he is also associated with fire, an element that brings both blessings and catastrophes if used carelessly. This more modern association seems to have have stuck, and he is especially associated by modern heathens with uncontrolled, destructive fire.
Children were baptized in his name and the sign of Thor was placed on them (this sign is similar to the sign of the cross). He also wore a halo of fire, his element. Replicas of his hammer were used to bless funeral pyres, associating him with death and cremation.
Answer and Explanation: According to Norse mythology, Thor dies in an epic battle with a monstrous serpent named Jörmungandr, also known as the Midgard (middle earth) Serpent. Both opponents meet their death in this battle, which is a part of the ultimate destruction of the current world, known as Ragnarök.
Thor was introduced by Marvel in Journey into Mystery #83 in August, 1962. Thor has a height of 6'3” (1.91 m) in the Marvel Cinematic Universe and 6'6” (1.98 m) in the comics. Thor, real name Thor Odinson, is the Asgardian god of thunder who wields the magical hammer, Mjolnir, in Marvel Comics.
Odin decided that it was time Thor learned humility after growing tired of Thor's insolent behavior on Asgard. Odin had Thor surrender his hammer to him, and then sent him to Earth in the mortal guise of a crippled young Harvard University medical student named Donald Blake, stripped of his memory of his true identity.
Originally Answered: What is Thor's greatest weakness? Magic. Thor was a warrior, brash and strong. He was clever, to a degree, but nowhere near the same level as Loki or Odin, or even some of the giants.
Thor can call down lightning and thunder at will and utilize them like a blacksmith uses his tools to work iron and steel—bending and shaping them into weapons. Once he believed it was his hammer Mjolnir that granted him these powers, but in truth the ability has rested within him the whole time.
It was Smart Hulk's opinion that only he could do it, but it's possible that Thor too could have managed the snap, but perhaps not without suffering even worse side effects.
Thor respects Captain America so much compared to the other Avengers. When they first met, Thor attacked Captain America but Captain America didn't attack him. Captain America just defended himself in order to end the fight. From that moment on, Thor respected Captain America.
The reason behind Thor's incurable wound is due to the Eitr imbued in the Leviathan Axe. In God of War, Kratos throws the weapon into the Lake of Nine and awakens the World Serpent, who rises out of the water. Jormungandr returns the Axe to Kratos by spitting it out and, in the process, covering it with his venom.
