Thor

This week I am going to be writing about Thor. Thor is the son of Odin and Gaea born in Asgard. He is the God of Thunder and can control thunder and lightning with his hammer, Mjolnir. He later becomes proud of himself for defending Asgard from it’s enemies and his father banishes him to Midgard(Earth). On Midgard, Thor was made mortal and gave the form of a handicapped doctor named Donald Blake. Donald Blake was caught in the middle of an alien attack and found a walking stick, that if struck against any surface transformed him into Thor.

                Thor has many powers and abilities. Thor is the most powerful being on Earth and the most powerful hero in the Marvel Universe. Thor is physically the strongest of Norse Gods and can lift well over 100 tons. He also restrains from using all his strength so he does not kill his opponent or destroy the place in which they are. He has only shown full force against The Hulk, Hercules, Sentry and Gladiator.

 His god-like physiology gives him higher endurances than humans and super humans. Thor is immune to all human diseases, poisons and toxins. He is also immune to electrocution and radiation poisoning. His metabolism is so high, it is impossible for him to become drunk. Thor is also able to heal much faster than humans and his hammer, Mjolnir, gives him the ability to regenerate limbs. Although Thor has many powers and abilities, he also has some weaknesses. He has become a victim to higher forms of magic used against him. His life is now tied to his hammer.

Thor has appeared in many movies and TV shows, as well as some comics. Some movies he has appeared in include: The Avengers, Thor: Tales of Asgard, Thor, Planet Hulk, Hulk vs. Thor, Next Avengers Heroes of Tomorrow, Ultimate Avengers 1 & 2, Fast Times at Hero High, and The Incredible Hulk Returns. Some TV shows include: The Marvel Superheroes segment: The Mighty Thor, Spider-Man, X-Men The Animated Series, Fantastic Four animated Series, The Incredible Hulk, and The Super-Hero Squad Show.

I actually have not read or watched anything about Thor. I was told that the movie that just came out in 2011 was really boring, so I haven't gone to watch it yet. Maybe after reading and learning more about him I will go see it.

Thor is also featured in a few video games. These video games include: Marvel Super Heroes, Marvel vs. Capcom: Clash of the Superheoes, Marvel Ultimate Alliance, Marvel Super-Hero Squad Show, The Infinity Gauntlet, Marvel vs. Capcom 3: Fate of Two Worlds, and Thor: God of Thunder.
