Thor is an Aesir. As an Aesir, he can look outwardly pretty much like he wants to. His Ethnos is clearly Norse as he thinks things that the Norse think, behaves like the Norse behave and likes large women.
Thor (from Old Norse: Þórr) is a prominent god in Germanic paganism. In Norse mythology, he is a hammer-wielding god associated with lightning, thunder, storms, sacred groves and trees, strength, the protection of humankind, hallowing, and fertility.
Thor is the thunder God of the Norse, Perun of the Slavs. Thor has a hammer and Perun has an axe. They are both tools but have very different cultural and practical associations. This is an example of how the Gods may have things in common but are not the same, or even variations of the same.
Throughout world mythologies is the prevalence of storm gods. Both Zeus and Thor can be considered storm gods, as they each have a special connection with the phenomena of lightning and thunder, but they are very different from one another. Zeus is Greco-Roman, and Thor is Norse (Germanic and Scandinavian).
In the comics, Zeus was depicted as a mentor to a young Thor. Out of the respect and friendship between Zeus and Thor's father, Odin, the two shared a deep friendship. Once Odin died, Zeus acted as a father figure and advisor. The film depicts the two at odds, with them trying to kill each other.
In Slavic mythology, Perun (Cyrillic: Перýн) is the highest god of the pantheon and the god of sky, thunder, lightning, storms, rain, law, war, fertility and oak trees.
Old Norse religion, also known as Norse paganism, is a branch of Germanic religion which developed during the Proto-Norse period, when the North Germanic peoples separated into a distinct branch of the Germanic peoples.
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.
Not only does Gaea appear in Immortal Thor #1, the Avengers declares himself, "Thor the Gaea-son, who defends the Midgard lands." Gaea's status as an being of the Utgard-Realm brings with it the truly stunning revelation in the issue: Thor is half-god, half-Utgard-God.
Apparently the “Council of Conservative Citizens” had an objection to this casting decision. It wasn't that they felt that Elba was a weak actor or that they were lobbying for another actor in the role. It was because Elba is a black actor and Heimdall is a white character.
Loki is a god in Norse mythology. Loki is the son of Fárbauti (a jötunn) and Laufey (mentioned as a goddess), and the brother of Helblindi and Býleistr. Loki is married to Sigyn and they have two sons, Narfi or Nari and Váli.
The Asgardians are a humanoid race of extradimensional beings that hail from Asgard, a small pocket-dimension adjacent to Earth. They travel around the Nine Realms including Earth via an interdimensional nexus known as the Bifrost.
Thor and Odin are still going strong 1000 years after the Viking Age. Many think that the old Nordic religion - the belief in the Norse gods – disappeared with the introduction of Christianity. However, it did not, but was instead practised secretly or under a Christian cloak.
Perun first appeared in Captain America #352 by Mark Gruenwald and Kieron Dwyer. He is a Slavic god with the power to control storms, thunder and lightning, much like the Avengers' Thor.
Chernobog is often attributed as a god associated with darkness due to his name, the "Black God". This thought process is often extended to other possible roles of Chernobog, such as being associated with the night, winter, and death.
The Black God, as his very name says, is the black god of the Slavs - god of the night, chaos and evil. Slavs believed that all evil originated from this god, so he, of all other gods, was the least favorably disposed towards men.
The Olympian and the Asgardian are evenly matched in terms of both strength and durability. For comparison, both Thor and Hercules' durability and raw power pale in comparison to the likes of Zeus - a low-key but crucial Thor: Love and Thunder spoiler for any future outings of the Olympians.
As Skyfather of Olympus, Zeus wields power comparable to Odin, whose wrath Thanos has withstood but not bested. At the same time, Zeus cannot truly die. While the most powerful of Olympians can be badly wounded or even dismembered, he can never actually pass on into oblivion.
