Background / History
Conflict with Loki and the Chitauri
Thor arrived on Earth to seize Loki after Loki’s surrender to Tony Stark and Steve Rogers, forcibly taking his brother from their aircraft. He openly scorned S.H.I.E.L.D.’s claim to protect Earth, arguing that Asgard’s protection had kept the planet from destruction. Loki later deceived Thor into entering his containment cell and had him thrown from the Helicarrier. 153 154
After the Battle of New York, Thor took Loki back to Asgard to face Odin’s judgment. 158
The Dark Elves’ invasion
When the Reality Stone bonded with Jane Foster, Thor sought Wes Erwin’s help after learning that Jane could survive only two more outbursts. He took Jane and Wes to Asgard through the Bifrost, hoping Odin could remove the stone. 198 199
During Malekith’s invasion of Asgard, Thor led the gods’ charge against the Dark Elves’ mothership. He was severely injured when the assault failed, but later fought Malekith alongside Wes. Wes’s mental illusion of Odin created the opening for Thor to strike Malekith with Mjolnir, and further enhancement spells allowed Thor to suppress him. 204 206
Hela and Ragnarok
After Hela escaped, shattered Mjolnir, and expelled Thor and Loki into spatial turbulence, Thor eventually escaped Sakaar and returned to Earth to find the Asgardians wounded and displaced. He promised to reclaim Asgard and restore it. 440 443
Thor gathered volunteers for a mission to kill Hela, leading Loki, Heimdall, Sif, the Three Warriors, Valkyrie, Bruce Banner, and Wes back to Asgard through a secret Space Channel. 444 445
Having lost Mjolnir, Thor recognized that his power came from within rather than from the hammer. He fought Hela using his thunder laws, supported by Wes’s Law of Light and enhancement magic. When Hela’s connection to Asgard proved impossible to overcome directly, Thor accepted the necessity of Ragnarok and Asgard’s destruction. 446 451
After Asgard’s fall
Thor watched Asgard’s destruction from a spacecraft with Wes and Loki, then resolved to find a new homeland for his people and obtain a weapon suited to him. 452 453
At Nidavellir, Thor found Eitri as the sole surviving dwarf after Thanos’s army devastated the forge-world. Thor helped restart the forge with Wes and Loki, receiving Stormbreaker from Eitri. He later helped Eitri bury the dead and vowed to kill Thanos. 453 455
Appearance
Thor is a tall, powerfully built Asgardian warrior with golden hair. He commonly wears medieval-style armor and carries weapons associated with lightning and Asgardian royalty. 153 209 446
- Broad, muscular physique and an imposing presence. 153 203
- Originally wielded the war hammer Mjolnir, surrounded by lightning in battle. 153 203
- Lost Mjolnir when Hela crushed it. 440
- Later wielded Stormbreaker, an axe charged with powerful lightning. 454
Personality
Thor is direct, forceful, and initially prone to arrogance. His abrupt arrival to seize Loki and his contemptuous dismissal of S.H.I.E.L.D. reflect his impatience and confidence in Asgardian superiority. 153 154
His devotion to Jane reveals a gentler side. Faced with the Reality Stone’s threat to her life, he became anxious, desperate, and willing to seek help from Odin and Wes. 198 199
Following Asgard’s fall and his trials on Sakaar, Thor becomes more composed and responsible. He accepts the burden of leadership, reassures displaced Asgardians, values his allies’ sacrifices, and is willing to destroy his homeland to stop Hela. 443 451
