Background and History
Odin stripped Thor of his divine power and cast him into a mortal existence on Earth. HYDRA captured and brutally tortured him, leaving him bound to an iron chair with bullet wounds in both legs and severe facial injuries. Loki visited him in captivity and told him that Odin was dead, exploiting Thor’s vulnerable state. 88
Sif, Volstagg, and other Asgardian allies later rescued Thor from HYDRA. Furious over his treatment by Earthlings, Thor initially declared that he would attack Earth and sought to reclaim Mjolnir from Saitama. Unable to lift the hammer, he confronted Saitama aggressively and was effortlessly sent flying. 96 101 104
His failure to reclaim Mjolnir gradually changed him. Thor accepted that he might remain mortal, travelled Earth with Jane Foster, Daisy, and Dr. Erik Selvig, and used his knowledge of other worlds to assist their celestial observations. The experience taught him to think more carefully and live as an Earthling rather than as an entitled Asgardian prince. 116 128
Loki later arranged an assassination attempt against Thor. After Thor was shot and seemingly killed, Mjolnir returned to him; he revived and regained his divine power. He immediately honored his earlier agreement to fight Saitama, but Saitama knocked him hundreds of meters away with one punch. Thor survived the blow and continued charging forward. 128 130
During Loki’s Tesseract crisis, Thor worked alongside Earth’s heroes, identified Loki’s involvement with the mind-controlling staff, and confronted his brother over the Tesseract. He arrived too late to take part in the final resolution of the Chitauri invasion, which Saitama ended by destroying the Tesseract. 142 143 148
When Jane was endangered by an object lodged in her body, Thor sought Saitama’s help and brought him to Asgard. There, Thor learned that Hela was his full-blooded sister and witnessed her destroy Mjolnir. Still affected by Loki’s magic, he mistook reality for an illusion, attacked Odin, and fainted again. 182 188 190
After Odin transferred Asgard’s throne to Hela, Thor chose freedom over succession. Frigga secretly helped him leave Asgard with Jane, and Thor later described himself as an Earthling and Jane’s “Earth son-in-law.” 191 194
Appearance
Thor’s appearance changes sharply between his divine and Earthbound periods, ranging from battle-worn prisoner to armored god and casual Earth resident. 88 130 194
- HYDRA’s torture left him bloodied, swollen, and wounded in both legs. 88
- When restored as the God of Thunder, he manifests shining armor and a large red cape through Mjolnir’s lightning. 130
- On Earth, he has appeared in jeans and a black tank top. 194
- He is later depicted with a bald head after being shaved by Soru. 225 240
Personality
Thor begins his time on Earth proud, impulsive, and contemptuous of Midgard’s people. Losing Mjolnir deeply unsettles him because he initially sees the hammer and his divine power as central to his identity. His anger after HYDRA’s abuse even leads him to consider war against Earth. 96 101 104
His mortal life changes him substantially. He becomes calmer after accepting Mjolnir’s rejection, contributes knowledge to Jane and Selvig’s work, and learns to form his own judgments rather than relying on strength alone. 116 128
Despite this growth, Thor remains boastful and straightforward. He readily calls himself the God of Thunder, takes obvious pride in compliments, and is still eager to prove his importance in a fight. His devotion to Jane, concern for his family, and willingness to seek help for others show his more mature and compassionate side. 182 194 225
Abilities & Skills
Asgardian Physiology
Even while deprived of divine power, Thor retains physical traits beyond those of ordinary humans.

- Endures Saitama’s punch, which sends him hundreds of meters away, and immediately resumes combat. 130
- States that Asgardians can fly and fight in space without immediately dying from oxygen deprivation. 206
Mjolnir and Lightning Manipulation
Mjolnir is Thor’s signature weapon and the means through which he restores his full God of Thunder form.
- Summons Mjolnir back to his hand after regaining his divine power. 130
- Channels lightning from Mjolnir into his body to manifest armor and a red cape. 130
- Uses Mjolnir for high-speed aerial charges and hammer strikes. 130
- Could not sense or lift the hammer while Odin’s seal remained in effect. 101 104 116
- Loses the weapon when Hela crushes it. 188

- Uses his familiarity with planets and celestial bodies to assist Jane Foster and Dr. Selvig’s research. 128
