Background & History
Thor was exiled from Asgard and stripped of his power by Odin. Believing his father had died because of him, he initially accepted that he could never return home; Volstagg's revelation that Odin was alive shattered that belief. 116
On Earth, Thor pursued Mjolnir with single-minded urgency. He could not lift it while sealed, but regained his power after Hong Fei forced the hammer back into his hand and helped him break Odin's seal. 114 117
Appearance
Thor is a muscular Asgardian warrior commonly seen in battle armor and a cape. During his confinement on Sakaar, he wore short hair, an eyepatch, and carried a sword and shield in the arena. 179 645
- His restored Asgardian armor manifests with a red cape. 117
- He lost an eye during his conflict with Hela and later wore an eyepatch. 640 645
- After Mjolnir's destruction, he carries the Thunderstrike Axe. 657 661
Personality
Thor is direct, proud, and impulsive. He reacts fiercely to perceived disrespect, as shown when Tony's mockery of Mjolnir immediately provokes him into attacking. 180
He also possesses a strong sense of honor and responsibility. During his relationship with Jane Foster, he recognizes that his duties extend beyond love; later, he chooses to spare Hela and seek her atonement for Asgard's sake rather than kill her. 286 650
His hardships gradually make him more mature. The destruction of Mjolnir, his defeat by Hela, and his time as a Sakaar gladiator push him to awaken power independent of his hammer and accept the burden of kingship. 640 646 650
