Background[]
Personality[]
Originally, Thor was very arrogant and full of himself and sought battle to prove his strength and heroism. He was also very short-sighted, acting on impulse or however he felt justified. Thor believed that he was entitled to the Asgard throne, and eagerly awaited his coronation.
For his reckless actions and behavior, Thor's father Odin stripped him of his powers, titles, and rights, banishing him to Midgard until he proved himself worthy of his power. The plan worked and he returned humbled and much wiser and even thanked his father for the lessons he learned.
After his exile and subsequent return, Thor has become a noble warrior and a man of honor. He now thinks through his actions, trying to compromise before fighting. He fights not for glory but for the greater good. He also realized he was not yet ready to be king of Asgard, eventually deciding to abdicate his claim to it to better safeguard the well-being of the universe. He has dislike of mortal technology and science for creating supervillains and admires heroes with courage, honor, compassion, and the gift of battle. He was very wise about mortal tales and criticizing villains about their abilities they boasted. He has occasional difficulty with human and Earth culture but appears to have become more accustomed to it while working with the Avengers.
He has a large amount of respect for family, who have defined his personality—his father Odin and his mother Frigga, who he loves very much. Had it not been for his wise father, he would still be full of arrogance and irresponsibility, a fact that he is well aware of. His mother's similarly wise but gentle touch taught him to fight for good. He initially has a complicated relationship with his troublemaking brother Loki, upset with him for the trouble he has caused on Earth and Asgard. However, he does care for his brother, and wishes for him to stop his dangerously mischievous ways. Despite this, Thor is not above fighting his brother if it means protecting others.
Physical appearance[]
Thor is a very tall and well-built Asgardian male; he has very large biceps and long, muscular legs. Fair-skinned and blue-eyed, he has golden blond hair that grows slightly during the events of the Marvel Cinematic Universe, reaching just around his shoulders by Thor: The Dark World.
His hair was shaved in Thor: Ragnarok, while forced to be a gladiator. He also has moderate amounts of facial hair. During his battle with Hela, he lost his right eye and wore an eyepatch. He is given a new eye by Rocket.
During the 5 year timeskip in Avengers: Endgame, Thor grows his hair long again and gains a lot of weight. In Thor: Love and Thunder, he gets his body back into shape.
He wears Asgardian-style clothing, reminiscent of Vikings, complete with a Viking-style helmet, although it is only worn in his animated appearances. He wears black armor with silver circles along the torso, with silver chainmail sleeves. He has red wristbands, a large golden belt and blue pants. In animated appearances, he wears tall golden boots. In his Cinematic Universe portrayals, they are the same blue as his pants.
His appearances are most often depicted with him wielding Mjölnir in his hands until its destruction.
Powers and abilities[]
He possess a number of superhuman attributes common among the Asgardians, however, as the son of Odin, some are considerably more developed than those of the vast majority of his race. He is the second most powerful Asgardian, with only his father being more powerful than him, and is one of the two strongest Avengers alongside the Hulk. Thor also has extensive combat prowess learned through centuries of training and battlefield experience.
Powers[]
- Asgardian Physiology: As an Asgardian, Thor has several superhuman abilities.
- Superhuman Strength: Thor has extraordinary strength, easily surpassing most other Asgardians. Typically in battle he will send opponents flying with a single blow, and has proven capable of outperforming a number of much larger opponents in tests of strength. With his bare hands, he showed himself able hold his own against the Hulk, and has overthrown a Leviathan with a single hammer blow.
- Superhuman Stamina: Thor's advanced musculature is considerably more efficient than the musculature of a human, and his fitness is also greater than most other Asgardians. His muscles produce minimal fatigue toxins during physical activity, enabling him to exert himself at peak capacity for extended periods without tiring.
- Invulnerability: Thor's skin, muscle, and bone are extremely dense and durable compared to that of humans, contributing to a proportionately greater mass and extreme physical durability. Thor can withstand impact trauma up to blows from the Hulk with a bloodied nose at best to minor injuries at worst. Thor was hit by a direct lightning strike from Gungnir, showing no injury. He was struck several times by Algrim, with only a few cuts to his face. He has also fallen from great heights without sustaining lasting damage. Stripped of his powers and banished to Earth, he was hit with a car twice, suffering only slight daze.
- Superhuman Speed: Thor as an Asgardian can move faster than even the finest human athlete regardless of his great size, build and body density. He displayed this power while fighting Hulk in the Helicarrier as he tackled the Hulk through the wall of Helicarrier in a matter of second appearing as a blur.
- Superhuman Agility: Thor's agility, balance, and bodily coordination make him a great warrior in battle. He moves with incredible grace and speed despite his size and body density. He was able to dodge the wing of a jet fighter thrown at him by the Hulk while they battled in the hangar bay.
- Regenerative Healing Factor: Thor's injuries heal at a staggering rate. He has recovered from moderate penetration wounds to the abdomen in a matter of minutes, and has been able to stand to recover quickly from heavy impact trauma, including blows from the Hulk and a high impact fall. With Mjölnir in hand, his recovery has extended to complete bodily restoration after suffering mortal injuries in a non-powered state.
- Superhuman Longevity: Thor has a lifespan far longer than that of a human being. While not truly immortal, he is known to be over one-thousand years of age.
- Atmokinesis: Though Thor's relying on Mjölnir has caused a lack of practice, Thor is able to control weather without relying on Mjölnir. So far he has been seen only creating rain and electricity without relying on Mjölnir.
- Electrokinesis: Thor is able to generate electricity from his body without relying on Mjölnir.
Abilities[]
- Honed Agility: Centuries spent perfecting the art of close quarters combat have kept Thor at peak levels of fitness, and ensure that his coordination and reflexes are maintained at peak levels. He moves with surprising grace and speed for someone of his size, as evidenced when he easily ducked under the wing of a plane the Hulk threw at him during their Helicarrier battle, and during his many fights where he is shown easily maneuver around his foes.
- Master Hand-To-Hand Combatant: Thor is a superbly skilled warrior with a high aptitude and mastery of close quarters combat. He is known to be cunning and intuitive in battle, and has a wealth of experience from numerous conflicts throughout the Nine Realms. Even with his power stripped from him, he was able to fight, and astonishingly gain the advantage over, nearly a dozen S.H.I.E.L.D. soldiers, prompting an impressed Agent Coulson to comment that he made "some of the most highly trained soldiers in the world look like a bunch of minimum-wage mall cops".
- Master Hammer Fighter: After centuries of practice wielding Mjölnir, Thor is a master of short-handled mace combat. His technique involves wielding the hammer primarily by the handle to affect powerful close-range blows, and sometimes by the strap to achieve a fluid series of cyclical motions more commonly employed with mixed actions where the hammer's other traits are used. His technique also extends to using the hammer as a thrown weapon, which he does frequently to strike targets beyond his reach.
- High-level intellect/Master Tactician/Leader: For centuries Thor has led Asgard, including highly skilled warriors such as Lady Sif and the Warriors Three, into battle against forces with great leadership and employing strategies and tactics adapted from various civilizations across the Nine Realms, including forgotten ones. Although he is sometimes reckless and impulsive, Thor is highly intelligent.
Weakness[]
Thor has no true weaknesses, as he is immune to every known disease, toxin, illness, and ailment. However he will eventually die of old age (as Odin himself stated that Asgardians "are born, live, and die, just as humans do", though it will take around 5,000 or more years). The only things that can affect him are high-level magic users (such as Odin), or beings of similar or greater strength (such as the Hulk or Kurse), and the only material he seems to be unable to damage is Vibranium due to its ability to absorb and reflect vibrations, as shown when he fails to break through Captain America's shield or when he could not destroy Ultron's main body.
Equipment[]
- Mjolnir: Thor was entrusted with Mjölnir, a mystical hammer forged from the heart of a dying star. Odin himself stated that Mjölnir's power has no equal, as either a weapon to destroy or as a tool to build. Mjölnir, which resembles a mallet rather than a war hammer, has a number of elemental powers. Constructed of uru and combined with the various enchantments placed upon it by Odin, it is for all intents and purposes, indestructible. It has deflected blasts from the Destroyer and reflected a blast back into the Destroyer and several energy blasts from invading aliens. Thor often uses the hammer as a physical weapon, with almost nothing being capable of withstanding a hammer blow or throw. A few examples of the abilities Thor has shown with Mjölnir are:
- Weather Control: Wielding Mjölnir grants Thor the ability to control the base elements of a storm. It can control the elements and can create giant raging electrical storms complete with thunder, lightning, hurricane-force winds, tornadoes, and torrential rains at a moment's notice. He summoned a class 5 tornado to battle the Destroyer and control the elements. He is remembered in myth and legends by the mortals of Midgard as the Norse Thunder God who used Mjölnir to summon rain, wind, thunder, lightning and more.
- Lightning: Thor's main weapon using Mjölnir is his lightning bolt. He summoned a lightning bolt strong enough to destroy a large piece of landscape in Jotunheim, a lightning bolt to knock down Loki on the Bifrost bridge, shot a lightning bolt at Iron Man that boosted his armor's power reserve to 475%. Thor shot a sustained lightning bolt at the portal of the Chitauri to ravage the re-enforcements that were swarming through
- Material Transformation: By summoning lightning from the sky into Mjölnir, Thor's clothing was transformed into his battle armor.
- Flight: Thor is capable of hurling Mjölnir with great force and, by holding onto the leather thong, is capable of flying through the air at tremendous speeds. How fast is not specified, but he was able to remain aloft in the middle of a Class 5 tornado, and traverse the distance from his father's chambers to Heimdall's observatory in seconds.
- Energy Projection: With Mjölnir, Thor can project powerful mystical blasts of energy. He can even channel energies for stronger energy attacks. With Mjölnir, Odin projected a powerful mystical blast of energy using it to channel an energy blast through it, taking away all of Thor's superhuman powers and destroys what was left of Thor's armor after stripping much of it from him and throwing him into the Bifrost.
- Mystical Link: Mjölnir obeys Thor's commands as though it were alive. Mjölnir went to Thor when it was in a crater from miles away, it came to him in seconds. Mjölnir will return to Thor whenever he throws it at an opponent. While battling the Hulk in a hanger of the Helicarrier, Thor summoned Mjölnir from another room and it came crashing through the Helicarrier to reach him.
- Worthiness Enchantment: Odin has ensured that only those who are deemed worthy may wield Mjölnir, and this test of worthiness effectively signals the worthiness to rule Asgard itself. The effect of this is that Mjölnir seems to be endlessly heavy to anyone who attempts to lift it, and it remains rooted to the spot if they try. Not even the Hulk, with his vast strength, can lift it, and attempts to use machinery to move it by avoiding direct contact are equally ineffective. Mjölnir's primary wielder is Thor, however, Odin can also heft the hammer with ease. Steve Rogers has budged it slightly and eventually was able to wield it, and the Vision has also proven capable of both lifting the hammer and wielding it in combat.
- Instantaneous Travel: Thor can also call upon Heimdal and the Bifrost Bridge whenever he desires, giving him nearly instantaneous travel between the realms. While on Earth, he frequently rides with the Avengers in one of the Quinjets for convenience, even though he can fly much faster than they can.
- Stormbreaker: A mystical axe crafted by Eitri and Groot, Thor requested this weapon be made so that he could return to Earth to help in the battle against Thanos and kill the Mad Titan. Stormbreaker is a more powerful version of Mjölnir and helps Thor focus his powers, in addition to being made out of Uru to withstand incredibly powerful energies like the Infinity Stones, and has the power to destroy Thanos. It can also summon the Bifrost even after the bridge was apparently destroyed, enabling Thor inter-dimensional travel. After Mjølnir's reassembly, Thor allowed his adoptive daughter Love to wield Stormbreaker in combat.

The Avengers[]
Thor in The Avengers.
When Asgard discovers the dastardly Loki is upon Earth, seeking the Tesseract, Odin uses dark sorcery to send Thor to Earth to stop him. Thor lands on the jet in which Loki is being escorted back to the S.H.I.E.L.D. Helicarrier by Captain America, Iron Man, and the Black Widow and takes Loki from their custody. Thor tries to convince Loki to give up his plans and return home to Asgard with the Tesseract, though Loki still resents him.
Iron Man attacks him and the couple trade blows when Iron Man refuses to allow Thor to take Loki away. When Captain America intervenes and asks Thor to put Mjölnir down if he's against Loki's ambitions. In response, Thor bashes Iron Man aside and brings his hammer down on Captain America, who blocks it with his shield. The shield absorbs the impact, shocking Thor, who realizes they have the same goal and stops fighting.
They return to the Helicarrier, where Loki is put into a cell designed to hold the Hulk and dispose of him if necessary. Thor is quick to point out that while Loki is unstable he is still his adoptive brother. Later he asks Coulson about Jane Foster and is told that she was moved to a secure location when Loki returned and Erik Selvig was put under his control. Thor is asked by Fury if he is capable of inflicting torture on Loki to reveal his goals.
Later as Thor and the others argue, Loki's mind-controlled henchmen blow up one of the Helicarrier's engines and help free Loki, also triggering Banner to unwillingly transform into the Hulk and go on a rampage. Thor fights the Hulk after preventing him from killing Black Widow, being the only one who can match him in strength. After the Hulk has been lured off of the Helicarrier, Thor goes to make sure Loki is still contained. When he arrives the cell door is open, and Thor tries to stop Loki leaving. It turns out to be an illusion and Thor gets trapped in the cell. Loki threatens to drop the cage when Coulson confronts him with a gun made from the Destroyer. Loki stabs Coulson and proceeds to drop a horrified Thor. As he plummets towards Earth, Thor manages to smash free from the cell just in time to avoid the impact.
After recovering, Thor uses Mjölnir's powers to replenish his strength before he heads to New York City to confront Loki. Arriving at Stark Tower, Loki has used the Tesseract to open a portal allowing the Chitauri to invade Earth. Thor again tries to convince him to stop, since the Chitauri are destroying the world he wants to rule. Failing, he briefly clashes with his brother before Loki flees on a Chitauri vessel. Serving as First Sergeant of the group, Thor joins the team leader Captain America, Hawkeye, and the Black Widow on the battlefield and starts helping to fight the Chitauri just before both Iron Man and the Hulk join them.
Captain America orders Thor to use his power to stem the flow of enemies coming through the portal, which he does use lightning bolts. He then joins the battle once more and helps Hulk bring down a Leviathan. During the battle, he gets punched by Hulk for their earlier fight at the Helicarrier. Soon, Iron Man sends a nuclear missile intended for the city through the portal. This destroys the Chitauri base, causing the forces to be cut off from their power source and die, while the Black Widow closes the portal.
Once the crisis is over, Thor joins the other Avengers in confronting Loki, who had already been beaten into submission by the Hulk, and takes him into custody. After claiming the Tesseract, Thor takes Loki back to Asgard, by opening a portal with it and leaves the other Avengers in Central Park.
Iron Man 3[]
One year after the Battle of New York, when the evil scientist and terrorist Aldrich Killian kept Tony captured in his mansion he mentioned Thor when he referred to him as the "Big Dude with the Hammer".
Thor: The Dark World[]
In the beginning of the film, Thor and his allies continue to maintain peace within the Nine Realms, recently fending off a group of Marauders attempting to start a war in the realms. During this war, Thor serves as a general in the Asgardian army.
On Earth, Thor returns to Jane after the latter accidentally absorbed the Aether. Foster first slaps him in the face twice, before he grabs her and gets beamed back to Asgard.
Soon, however, Asgard is invaded by the Dark Elves. During the invasion, Thor sees his mother die. In anger, he shoots a lightning bolt to Malekith, the leader of the Dark Elves and throws Mjolnir into him and Algrim. Through this throw, he sends them back to their ship. The Asgardians then held a funeral for Frigga and the other dead Asgardians. Because Thor knows that Malekith will return he wants to move Jane, but Odin won't let him. He then comes up with a plan, for which he frees Loki. They, together with Jane, use one of the ships from the Dark Elves to leave the palace. While they are trying to leave Sif and Volstagg delay the guards. When the Dark Elves ship flies next to Bifrost Bridge, Thor pushes Loki out of the ship and jumps out himself, with Jane in his arms. They all land on an Asgardian Skiff driven by Fandral. During their escape, they get hunted by other Asgardian skiffs, but Fandral takes out those soldiers. Loki then brings them to Svartalfheim trough a secret passage.
On Svartalfheim, Thor and Loki start having an argument about trust. Loki says Thor can't trust him and uses his dagger to cut off Thor's hand. Loki then brings Jane to Malekith and says that all he wants in return for her is a good spot to see Asgard burn.
Malekith starts to draw the Aether out of Jane and while still doing this Loki turns of the illusion they used for Thor his hand. Thor then shoots a lighting bold which causes the Aether to explode. Loki saves Jane by jumping on top of her. Malekith, who already gained enough power leaves and tells Algrim to take care of them. He tries to do this by throwing a Black Hole Grenade in the air in which Loki almost gets sucked. Algrim then starts to beat up Thor but gets stabbed in the back by Loki. Algrim does not get hurt by this and uses the sword, which is still in his chest, to pierce Loki, who manages to press one of Algrim his bombs which causes him to die. At the same moment, Loki dies in Thor's arms.
Thor and Jane then enter a cave filled with objects that didn't come back when Jane and the others played in the storage house. Jane grabs the keys of Ian's car and then they walk further into the cave and get transported to the storage house in England.
When Thor and the others reach Greenwich, the Nine Realms are almost in line. Thor starts to fight Malekith. During this fight, they enter many different realms. The fight ends with Thor getting teleported to a subway and Malekith back to Greenwich. Here he starts to release the Aether.
When Malekith tells Thor that the Aether can't be destroyed. Thor tells Malekith that he, however, can be and uses the teleportation devices from Erik Selvig to teleport Malekith back to Svartalfheim. When the ship of Malekith starts to collapse, Selvig uses the last of his devices to teleport it to Svartalfheim, where it crushes and kills Malekith.
After the battle, Thor brings the Aether to Asgard and tells Odin (who is actually Loki using a magical disguise) that he does not want to become king. He then returns to Earth, where he is reunited with Jane.
Avengers: Age of Ultron[]
After the destruction of Project Insight, the Avengers were officially reassembled with Iron Man's financing and Captain America's leadership. The Avengers arrived in Sokovia to take down the last known base of HYDRA and retrieve Loki's scepter. While they fight, Thor was glad to retrieve the scepter as J.A.R.V.I.S. informed them that this was the most protected HYDRA base. Soon after, Captain America informed him that a powered people and it was the fastest person he had seen, even though he could not see him. Thor asked Rogers to retrieve the scepter at any cost. With the battle won, the team traveled back to Avengers Tower. During the trip, Romanoff asked him what was Hulk's contribution, Thor replied that the moans of his victims are still listening, seeing that Banner felt bad about what he had done, he unsuccessfully tried to make to feel good with him. Also, Stark asked him to study the scepter for three days, which Thor agreed.
Thor attended the party that Stark organized in honor of the victory over HYDRA. During the party, he and Stark discussed who was the best girlfriend, if Jane or Pepper. Although Pepper ran successfully Stark Industries, for him Jane was better. When the party ended, he saw how his teammates unsuccessfully tried to lift Mjölnir. Thor explained that they were not worthy to wield Mjölnir. Suddenly, a damaged robot arrived and described the Avengers as killers and then proceeded to attack them by Iron Legion. Ultron explained that was only one path to peace: their extinction; Thor then threw his hammer destroying Ultron. The next day, Thor returned to Avengers Tower from pursuing a Legionary and informed the group that the robot is heading to the north towards an unknown location. After locating the next destination of Ultron, the Avengers went to Salvage Yard to destroy Ultron and defeat the Maximoff twins. Here, they faced with Ultron and the twins. During the battle, Scarlet Witch used her powers on Thor, causing that the God of Thunder had a hallucination. With the team sad by defeat, Hawkeye took them to a place where they could relax and then out to fight.
Determined to find answers, Thor decided not to stay on the farm and chose to go with Erik Selvig so that he could help him find the Water of Sights. He warned Selvig that it was a very dangerous mission, Selvig replied that he would be disappointed if it was not. After finding it, Thor plunged into them and was able to see his entire vision and discovered that the gem from Loki's scepter was an Infinity Stone. Thor returned to Avengers Tower and using his Mjölnir, created a powerful lightning and gave birth to a synthetic android. He explained to his companions that this gem was an Infinity Gem Stone and Stark was right because the android might be able to defeat Ultron. He witnessed as Vision was able to easily lift Mjölnir. He traveled to Sokovia before his teammates to find out how they could stop the Ultron's Doomsday Machine.
Soon after, Thor helped Captain America save many civilians from Ultron Sentries. Angered by Thor's actions, Ultron took him to the church to fight hand to hand with him. Thor told Ultron that there's life in his breast he would not surrender but all this was in order to distract Ultron, allowing Vision hit him with Mjölnir. After attacking Ultron, Vision told Thor that Mjölnir had an amazing balance, he replied that the key is that it's not too heavy and gave the swing more power. As the Avengers defeated easily the Sentries, Thor challenged Ultron to fight with all their might, Ultron then summoned his Sentries to fight with the Avengers. He fought fiercely against Sentries and when Vision attacked Ultron, he along with Iron Man helped by blasted it with his Mjölnir. As Sokovia was about hit Earth, Thor and Iron Man destroyed the city to avoid the global extinction.
After Ultron's defeat, Thor went to New Avengers Facility to say goodbye to Tony and Steve. He told them that Vision was worthy to wield the gem and had a feeling, with the recent appearance of Infinity Stones, they were all pawns of someone powerful. Rogers asked him if he could do it, Thor replied that everything in this universe made sense, except Stark. Heimdall then opened the Bifrost allowing Thor to return to Asgard.
Captain America: Civil War[]
A year after the Battle of Sokovia, when Thaddeus Ross presented the Sokovia Accords to The Avengers he was mentioned with Bruce Banner by Ross of the importance of the Accords. He also mentioned them when he interrogated Steve on the whereabouts of the strongest members in Avengers in which the latter remains unresponsive.
Doctor Strange[]
In the film's post-credits scene, Thor is seen discussing with Doctor Strange inside the New York Sanctum. Thor explains to Strange that he came to him for aid in finding Odin. Expressing interest in the mystical affair, Strange agrees to help Thor track Odin down.
Thor: Ragnarok[]
At the beginning of Thor: Ragnarok, taking place two years after the Battle of Sokovia, Thor is imprisoned in a cage in the realm of Surtur and explaining his current situation with hunting down the infinity Stones with an alien skeleton that had been long forgotten. However, he is soon released from the cage in chains, where he meets Surtur, the ruler of Muspelheim. While confronting Surtur, Thor tells Surtur that he has seen Asgard in flames and falling in ruins and that Surtur is at the center of everything. The evil ruler of Muspelheim tells Thor that he has foreseen the Norse apocalyptic prophecy of Ragnarok and reveals his intentions to connect his crown with the Eternal Flame and bring about Asgard's doom. However, Thor reveals he will succeed in stopping Surtur and reveals that winning is what heroes do. He later breaks from his chains and has a fight between Surtur and his fire giants. Thor takes down Surtur and steals his crown and escapes to Asgard.
Thor goes back to Asgard and finds out Loki is alive and impersonating Odin. Thor forces Loki to reveal his true self to the Asgardians and after Loki is unmasked, Thor demands where Odin is. Loki, despite his treacherous tendencies, reveals he sent Odin to a nursing home in New York.
After Thor and Loki arrive on Earth, they discover the home is demolished and their father nowhere to be found. Suddenly, Loki gets caught in a portal where he is trapped in a bottomless abyss, while Thor meets the conjurer: Doctor Strange. The two talk and Strange offers his help to Thor to find Odin in exchange that Thor immediately departs Loki from Earth. Strange takes a lock of Thor's hair and pinpoints Odin in Norway. Retrieving Loki from the portal, Doctor Strange opens another portal to Odin's location. The two brothers are transported in Norway and they finally reunite with Odin; Odin tell to his sons he is dying and, after apologizing for all the mistakes he did, he reveals that with his death, the goddess of death, Hela, his malevolent firstborn, will be free from her prison in Hel. As Thor and Loki face the horizon before them, Odin disintegrates and passes on, leaving Thor and Loki devastated.
At that moment, Hela emerges from her prison and confronts her younger brothers before their eyes. Thor presents himself, but Hela sarcastically says to him who he doesn't look like their father before she orders to him and Loki to kneel before her as their queen. Thor refuses and tries to promptly subdue her with his hammer but is incredulous when Hela blocks and destroys Mjölnir to Thor's shock and Loki's fear. Hela then proceeds to attack them. Loki, in panic, calls Volstagg to bring them back to Asgard with the Bifrost. Thor tries to stop this, knowing they must activate the portal when far from Hela or she will get to Asgard, but it is too late - the Bifrost takes them into the portal with Hela after them. Thor asks Loki for help but he is kicked out of the portal and into space leaving Thor alone to fight Hela. Hoping to prevent Hela from taking over Asgard, Thor briefly fights her off and almost succeeds but is sent out of the portal and into space, while the portal brings Hela to Asgard and she starts her conquest.
Thor falls on a waste planet called Sakaar, where he is captured by a woman named Scrapper 142 who takes him to see the Grandmaster, the tyrannical yet charismatic emperor of Sakaar. The Grandmaster attempts to make Thor as a fighter of his arena game, Thor refuses until he sees Loki on Sakaar as well, having arrived weeks prior to Thor due to the portal and became an ally of Grandmaster. However, Loki can't free Thor without losing the Grandmaster's trust, so the God of Thunder makes a deal with the Grandmaster: if he will defeat his champion, he can go back to Asgard.
Thor is then outfitted as a gladiator, including having his hair severely cut, before arriving in the arena. While Thor readies his weapons, the doors to his opponent open and reveal the Grandmaster's champion. To Thor's surprise, it is none other than his fellow Avenger and friend Hulk.
Thor is happy to see the Hulk, but when he calls him Banner, Hulk retorts Banner doesn't exist and there is only Hulk, and proceeds to attack Thor. Thor is initially reluctant to fight him, but when Hulk smashes him (in a similar way he did Loki) even after he tries to calm him with Black Widow's pacification technique, Thor finally decides fight back. Thanks to his status as a god, Thor is able to spar with Hulk on par until Hulk blocks an attack and proceeds to pound him into the ground. However, Thor then has a vision of his father and he gains the ability to summon lightning, which electrocutes Hulk. As Thor prepares to defeat Hulk, the Grandmaster, in fear of losing Hulk's popularity, activates Thor's obedience disk to weaken Thor and enable the Hulk to win the fight. Thor survives but is left unconscious by the blow.
In his prison room with Hulk, Thor is initially unable to convince the Hulk to help him escape Sakaar due to Hulk's happiness over finally being accepted, not feared, by others and belief that Thor is really friends with Banner. Thor soon discovers that Scrapper 142 is actually Valkyrie and the last of Asgardian Valkyries, whom he also tries and fails to get help from. Deciding to escape Sakaar and save his people alone, Thor finally breaks out of his prison and flees into Hulk's nearby Quinjet. Hulk follows him, wanting him to stay, but Thor manages to play a recording of Black Widow trying to convince Hulk to return after the final battle with Ultron. The message and sight of her causes Hulk to have an emotional reaction, transforming him back into Banner. With Banner, Thor is able to get Valkyrie to join his cause and later gets Loki back on his side as well. Together, the four form a team named the Revengers and start a revolution on Sakaar with the other gladiators to stop Hela and save Asgard. During the revolution, Loki tries to betray them to the Grandmaster but Thor electrocutes Loki with an obedience disk he attached in case Loki attempted his old tricks. As he escapes with Banner and Valkyrie on Grandmaster's ship, Thor advises to an incapacitated Loki he must change and become a better person as life is about change and growth, and he could be something more, leaving Loki with the remote for deactivating the disk away from him. After escaping a fleet of Grandmaster's forces, the three arrive in Asgard where Thor reconvenes with Heimdall with a plan to save Asgard.
In Odin's throne room, Thor confronts Hela who is shocked who her brother is still alive. Thor agrees that Odin did have his faults and that while Hela had a right to the throne, he couldn't allow her to rule because she's "just the worst" before they proceed to duel. In their battle, Hela is able to cut out Thor's right eye, repulsed by how he now resembled their late father. Soon, Thor is immobilized from the pain and Hela threatens him that no one will escape. Then, a ship carrying Saakarian Rebels lead by the redeemed Loki and Korg arrive to help the Asgardians evacuate and fight off Hela's army. While immobilized, Thor has another vision of his father Odin. Thor tells Odin he cannot stop Hela because she's too strong and without Mjolnir he's lost his strength, but Odin tells him Asgard is not a place but in its people, and reveals that Thor is stronger than him, not needing his hammer. Odin's final speech motivates Thor to recover and awaken his true powers as the god of thunder to force Hela away. Together with Loki, Valkyrie, and the reemerged Hulk, Thor decimates Hela's henchmen. Because Hela's power is tied with Asgard, Thor realizes that Ragnarok must be caused to finally end her threat to the Asgardians.
Thor sends Loki to revive Surtur and with Valkyrie, he starts to fight Hela until Surtur is restored into gigantic size. Thor and the others leave Hela and Surtur to fight and escape from Asgard with the other Asgardians on the rebel ship. Surtur succeeds in destroying both Hela and Asgard, and Asgardians are safe. Thor, now sporting an eyepatch, reconciles with Loki. As his people's new king, Thor decides to bring them to Earth as their new home.
In a mid-credits scene, Thor and Loki debate on whether Loki will be accepted on Earth after all the things he has committed. Thor assures him that everything is going to be fine for them and their people when a much larger ship confronts them - one belonging to the Mad Titan Thanos.
Avengers: Infinity War[]
The Asgardians' ship, the Statesman, is attacked by Thanos and the Black Order. Despite the passengers' best efforts, Thanos is able to kill half of the Asgardians while the other half get to escape pods from the destruction. Thor is defeated along with Heimdall nearby, while Loki is at the mercy of Proxima Midnight. Thor is held by the head by Thanos as Thanos orders to Loki to give him the Tesseract or he will kill Thor. Loki is initially reluctant but he succumbs and gives the Tesseract to Thanos. Loki reveals his ruse to buy time for Hulk to blindside Thanos with a surprise attack, making the Mad Titan give up his grip on Thor and away from the Tesseract.
After Thanos defeats Hulk with his superior physical strength, Thor tries to attack Thanos only to be chained up by Ebony Maw. A weakened Heimdall uses the last of his strength to send Hulk to Earth with the Bifrost. In response, Thanos kills Heimdall, much to Thor's anger. Thor watches as Loki attempts to appeal to Thanos to kill the Mad Titan, but Thanos sees his ploy and uses the Space Stone to stop the trickster in his tracks, where he then strangles and kills Loki. As Loki is dead and thrown to the ground before him, Thor screams in rage and cries clinging to his brother's corpse while Thanos destroys the ship by setting it ablaze.
Thor survives the destruction and is left drifting among its debris unconscious. After some allotted time, he is found by the Guardians of the Galaxy who had picked up the ship's distress signal. After they take him inside their ship, Thor wakes up and presents himself to his saviors and tells them what Thanos did to him, his friends, and his people. Thor discovers from Gamora, one of the members, that Thanos is searching for all the Infinity Stones for his Infinity Gauntlet, and if he has them all in the Gauntlet, he will destroy half of the life in the universe with a snap of his fingers. Thor instantly consoles Gamora when he finds out Thanos is her father, and soon finds friendship with Rocket who he comically believes as a rabbit. The group splits up, with Thor going with Rocket and a teenage Groot to Nidavellier to make a new weapon for Thor while the other Guardians are tasked to go to Knowhere to stop Thanos from getting the Reality Stone.
Rocket converses with Thor about his grief over having lost his whole family. After Thor assures the only thing that is keeping him going is stopping Thanos, Rocket gives Thor a cybernetic eye to replace his lost eye. The group arrive on Nidavellier and find Eitri, a dwarf and old friend of Thor, who reveals that Thanos forced the dwarfs to build his Infinity Gauntlet and then killed the other dwarfs but spared him. Eitri agrees to help him build a new weapon called "Stormbreaker". Using his own strength to activate the machine, Thor helps create the new weapon while Groot uses his vines to form the weapon's handle. With Stormbreaker, Thor transports himself, Rocket, and Groot to Earth in Wakanda, where some of the Avengers are fighting Thanos' army.
Thor, alongside Rocket and Groot, helps his comrades with Stormbreaker and his own electrokinesis to eliminate half of the henchmen. In the midst of fighting, Thor reunites with Steve Rogers whom he has a brief conversation with over Thor's haircut and Steve's new beard, and introduces to Groot. With the main members of the Black Order slain, Thanos' forces are defeated. However, at that moment Thanos arrives on Wakanda, having acquired five of the Infinity Stones and searching for the last one: the Mind Stone found on Vision. Scarlet Witch is forced to kill Vision but the effort is for naught as Thanos simply revives Vision with the newly-acquired Time Stone and rips out the Mind Stone, killing Vision twice, and completes the Gauntlet. Thor arrives too late and sees what Thanos has done. Attempting to avenge Vision, Loki, Heimdall, and the half of his people who were massacred, he strikes Thanos with Stormbreaker using all his might and taunts Thanos with his revenge. Though wounded, Thanos retorts that Thor should have struck him in the head as he snaps his fingers, resulting in Thor screaming in horror. After experiencing a flash of light, Thor angrily interrogates Thanos on what he has done but is ignored by Thanos and the warlord teleports away after mockingly smirking at Thor. Thor looks around and sees some of his friends vanishing into dust. Realizing that Thanos has succeeded in eliminating half of all life, Thor and the other survivors can only stand watch despairingly as the rest of their friends disappear.
Avengers: Endgame[]
Thor is first seen in shame, knowing his indecisiveness cost the heroes' victory. He joins the Avengers into traveling to Titan II, so that they could kill Thanos and bring back all who had been decimated. The Avengers arrived to Titan II and attacked Thanos. Thor chopped off Thanos' gauntlet hand, but Thanos had already destroyed the Infinity Stones. In anger, Thor chopped off Thanos' head, knowing there was nothing they could do to undo the titan's actions.
Five years later, Thor has become a recluse, living with Korg and Miek and spending his days eating junk food, drinking beer, and playing Fortnite. After being convinced by Hulk/Banner and Rocket, Thor joins the rest of the surviving heroes as they travel back in time to retrieve the Infinity Stones. Thor and Rocket travel to 2013 to retrieve the Reality Stone, where Thor has a heart-to-heart with his mother about growing from failure before obtaining a past version of Mjolnir. After the Avengers return with the stones and Banner uses the Infinity Gauntlet to undo the snap and bring everyone back to life, Thor joins the rest of the heroes in their fight against Thanos and his army of Chitauri, Outriders and the Black Order. After Thanos and his army are killed at the cost of Iron Man's life, Thor crowns Valkyrie as the new king of Asgard, and then he joins the Guardians of the Galaxy.
Loki[]
In the first episode of the first season, a version of Thor appears in a flashback from Avengers: Endgame, when the Avengers time-traveled to aftermath of the Battle of New York to get the Infinity Stones, and Loki manages to grab the Tesseract and use it to teleport himself, making the Thor from this timeline call for his brother after he escaped.
After Loki was captured by the Time Variance Authority for disrupting the Sacred Timeline, Agent Mobius interrogates Loki in a Time Theater and shows him a recording of events from Loki's life on the timeline, including the Battle of New York, where Thor appears alongside the other Avengers. He also shows the time that Loki hijacked a plane as D.B. Cooper, and Loki tells him that he only did it because he was young and had lost a bet to Thor. Afterwards, Loki returns to the Time Theater and becomes emotional as he watches the future events of his timeline, including how he and Thor would witness their father's death together, would fight side by side during the Ragnarok and how his brother would finally accept him. He also sees his own sacrifice to save Thor from Thanos and how his brother clutched his body and cried while mourning his death.
In the second episode, when Loki is confronting the female Variant of himself, Sylvie, he calls her "Loki" but she rejects the name, making Loki become frustrated with her games and then states that now he understands why Thor finds them so annoying.
A Variant of Thor, Throg, is seen inside a jar in the Void.
In the fifth episode of the first season, Loki finds other versions of himself that were sent to the Void by the TVA and Kid Loki tells Loki that he was captured and ended up there for killing Thor. As the Lokis are walking to their hideout, a Variant of Thor which was turned into a frog, Throg, is seen trapped in a jar, jumping and screaming inside it while attempting to escape.
Classic Loki, who is an elder Loki, tells Loki that he survived his final encounter with Thanos by faking his own death with an illusion of himself, before drifting in space, away from Thor and the others. Classic Loki then decided to isolate himself at a remote planet for many years, but he eventually felt lonely and missed Thor, wondering if his brother also missed him. But when he left the planet to look for Thor, he was captured by the TVA. Later, Sylvie reveals to Loki that she fears that he might betray her in the end, but Loki replies that even if he had betrayed everyone who ever loved him, including Thor, he is now a changed person and won't do the same to her.
In the ninth episode of the second season, a statue of Thor is seen in Chicago in 1893.
What If...?[]
Season 1[]
Thor in "What If?"
In the third episode, in an alternate timeline set during the events of Thor film, Thor goes to retrieve Mjolnir in the base of S.H.I.E.L.D. in New Mexico. As Thor knocks out the guards inside the base, Phil Coulson spots him and tells to Nick Fury through the radio that the guy attacking them is "mid-20s, tall and with really great hair". Thor arrives at the crater that was set around his hammer while Hawkeye gets in a survey crane after Fury asked for an overhead visual. Thor is happy as he approaches his hammer and Fury orders Clint to hold his fire. However, when Thor is about to grab the hammer, he is pierced in the chest by Hawkeye's arrow and killed, because Hank Pym had shrunk himself and dislodged Clint's fingers from his bowstring. Hawkeye becomes surprised and claims that he didn't fire, but is imprisoned while S.H.I.E.L.D. takes Thor's body to the morgue. Examining Thor's blood tests, they find out that he is near a thousand of years old, and both Fury and Coulson notice that even dead, Thor still smells like lavender.
Later, after knowing about Thor's death, Loki assembles an Asgardian army and travels to Earth to avenge his brother. Loki meets Fury in New Mexico, and says he will destroy Midgard for what happened with his brother, but Fury manages to make a deal with him by promising to deliver Thor's murderer to Loki once they know who is killing the candidates to the Avengers Initiative. Eventually, after finding out the truth, Fury and Loki set up a trap to capture Pym. When Loki (disguised as Nick Fury) confronts Pym, he asks why he would kill Thor who was not directly involved with Fury's Avengers project. Pym replies that Fury would have recruited Thor to fight for S.H.I.E.L.D. anyway, and Loki then angrily concludes that Pym only killed him because he could.
- “Citizens of Midgard... Your dull lives are about to come to an end. Prepare yourselves... for the Party Prince!”
- ―Thor to the people of Las Vegas
In the seventh episode, set in another timeline during the events of the Thor film, Thor travels to Earth and throws a party that goes out of control. In this universe, Thor was raised as an only child because Odin did not adopt Loki. Instead, Odin had returned baby Loki to the Frost Giants after finding him abandoned. The Watcher explains that Thor's relationship with Loki is what made the God of Thunder learn many lessons during his childhood and shaped him into becoming a hero, changing the fate of the universe. As a consequence of not having his trickster brother around to keep things "lively", Thor became a very different person.
After his father enters his state of deep sleep, Thor is with his mother, who says she is going to her sister's home to celebrate solstice and asks him to study about the Nine Realms he will rule in the future. Frigga tells him behave and not throw any parties. Before leaving she warns Thor that Heimdall will be watching him. Despite his mother's request, Thor gathers the Warriors Three and plans to start a party anyway. He says he will travel to a planet so backward that even Heimdall will not pay attention to, Midgard. With this, he first arrives to Las Vegas and is followed by several aliens who were invited to his party.
During the party in Las Vegas, Thor meets Jane Foster, who had tracked his arrival to Earth and was searching for alien invaders. Jane is surprised that Thor looks very different from what she expected of an alien. She asks him about the planet Alpha Star, which was destroyed eighteen months prior, and says that the astronomy that preceded the event happened again tonight on Earth. Thor confirms that he started a party on Alpha Star and Jane says that it destroyed the planet. Ignoring this, Thor becomes curious about the technology Jane is carrying. Thor says she must be a genius and praises her beautiful eyes, which makes Jane blush. As they start to develop romantic feelings for each other, Thor and Jane spend the rest of the night together. Nick Fury, arrives and demands Thor to stop the party but is knocked out by Korg.
The next day, Thor travels to Paris, where Loki and other Frost Giants go to his encounter. Because he was not raised as Thor's rival to the Asgard's throne, Loki did not become a villain and has no reason to antagonize Thor. The two greet each other like close friends and Thor is very happy that Loki came to his party. Loki says that Thor is "his brother from another mother" and they promise to be brothers forever. They are surprised to see a shooting start and Thor tells Loki to make a wish. However, it is revealed to be Captain Marvel, who was called by S.H.I.E.L.D. to stop the party because its destructive atmosphere had spread to various places on Earth. Refusing to end his party, Thor tells Captain Marvel to go away and calls her a "party pooper". The two start a long fight, with one punching the other from country to country. At one point, Thor tries to electrocute her with his thunder, but she simply absorbs it. However, she is eventually unable to move when Mjolnir falls over her chest.
Later, Thor uses a phone to call Jane and asks to see her again. When she questions about Alpha Star again, he tells her that no one was hurt when it was destroyed and that it was not a planet, but actually a meteor that was falling apart anyway. They are affectionate with each other, and Jane even accidentally says that she loves him, which makes Thor smile. Jane later calls him again while Thor is eating Chinese food and Loki picks up his phone. She asks to talk to Thor, but the device is broken when Loki accidentally drops it. Afterwards, Thor is having fun with his guests when Captain Marvel appears to confront him again. While they are fighting, however, Frigga uses her magic to contact Thor by projecting herself as a hologram. She says that Jane told her about Thor being on Midgard, but he claims to be in studying in his room. Seeing that his mother is not fooled by this lie, Thor says he and his study group came to Earth for a "cultural exchange". Frigga doubts it, so she decides to travel to Earth to check it for herself what her son is doing. Seeing how Thor is fearful about his mother's arrival, Captain Marvel wishes him good luck and leaves.
Terrified, Thor searches for the others. He finds Loki constructing the biggest sling shot with the St. Louis Arch and asks him to stop the destruction and help him to clean up everything. However, Loki reminds Thor that they are brothers from different parents, so Frigga is not his mother. As Loki refuses to help and leaves with the other Frost Giants, Thor turns to the rest of his guests and announces that his mother is coming. He manages to convince them by saying she is very angry, so they help him to clean and rebuilt everything that was destroyed during the party. When Frigga finally arrives, Thor had set up a study with his guests to pretend that they had been studying the entire time. Captain Marvel appears and helps Thor by giving him an iPad with information about human civilization, claiming that he had requested it. Thor's lie is discovered, however, when his summons Mjolnir and it is still colorful painted and covered with beads from the party.
Thor later visits Jane and gives her a bouquet of flowers. He tells her that calling Frigga was not a cool thing to do, but it was the right action, so he thanks her. He confesses that he likes her and thinks she is very attractive, then asks her for a date. Everything seems to be fine, when Thor witnesses a group of robots arriving through a portal, among them is Ultron in Vision's body with all six Infinity Stones.
Another variant of Thor made a brief appearance in "What If... Ultron Won?", where he was killed Ultron as the other Avengers failed to stop him.
In the ninth episode, Thor battles the Sentries in Vegas, sent by Ultron. As he continues fighting, the Watcher appears, trying to recruit him, but he was too distracted by Ultron's Sentries before he was grabbed by the Watcher. He was brought to a dimension beyond space and time, along with Captain Carter, Star-Lord, T'Challa, Gamora, and Killmonger, constructed by Doctor Strange, in a form of a pub.

The Avengers Assembled in 1602?", where Thor was transported with the other Marvel heroes to the timeline of 1602, by a version of Steve Rogers from 2018 who accidentally hit the time stone when fighting Thanos.

Trivia[]
- In The Avengers, when Thor first appears on Earth, his 'costume' is a variant of his Thor costume and resembles the classic Thor design by Jack Kirby, with no sleeves and his trademark cape. Later in the film, when on the Helicarrier, his costume nods towards the Ultimate version of the character based on art by Brian Hitch, which had no cape, no sleeves and stripped-down armor. In the third act of the film, Thor summons lightning which magically completes his armor, adding his armor, discs and chainmail sleeves as he looked in Thor, based on the 2007 redesign by Oliver Coipel. Whereas his Thor costume was black with silver discs, his suit in The Avengers is more blue-ish with much of the armor on his torso becoming silver.
- It is stated in The Avengers that Thor was able to get back to Earth thanks to the powers of Odin; however, Loki commented that Odin would have had to "summon up" a lot of "dark energy." This suggests that this action may be tiring, and possibly even dangerous or frowned upon by Odin, and was likely why the Bifrost meant so much to the Asgardians.
- In Thor: Love and Thunder, Thor is shown to have several tattoos on his back. While most of them are dedicated to Loki, his most personal loss, one also mentions his parents, Heimdall, Tony, and Natasha.
- Regina gave Henry a Thor comic book in an episode of Once Upon a Time.

- Tom Hiddleston originally auditioned for the role of Thor, but was cast as Loki instead.
- Thor can speak Groot's language as he took Groot as an elective in Asgard.
- In the original comics, Thor took on the secret identity of Donald Blake, an American physician with a partially disabled leg. He transformed into Thor by can transform by tapping his walking stick on the ground; the cane becomes the magical hammer Mjolnir.
- The event in which Loki turned Thor into a frog, mentioned during the play in the beginning of Thor: Ragnarok, was going to be part of a sequence which was deleted from the first episode of the Loki series. This sequence would be shown in the Time Theater as an event of Loki's past, in which Loki would take over the crown in Asgard while Thor is seen as a frog.[2][3]
- This was also going to be Throg's first appearance in the series, but since it was cut, he only appears as a cameo in the fifth episode, voiced by Chris Hemsworth.
