The
Marvel version of Thor is noble and very self-assured, sometimes to the
point
of arrogance. Thor's father Odin decides his son needs to be taught
humility and consequently places Thor into the body and memories of an
existing,
partially disabled human medical student, Donald Blake. After becoming
a doctor
and thoroughly believing himself to be the young surgeon Blake, he
later
discovers Thor's disguised hammer and learns to change back and forth
into the
Thunder God. The real Blake's persona remains elsewhere until many
years later,
after Odin becomes satisfied of Thor's humility and lifts the spell,
thereby
removing the need for a mortal alter ego. The mortal experience,
however,
shapes Thor into an honorable and courteous individual, who is loyal to
all
comrades.
Thor is a
superb hand-to-hand combatant and has mastered a number of weapons such
as the
war hammer, sword, and mace. He is also cunning and intuitive in
battle, with
many centuries of experience. Thor possesses two items that assist him
in
combat: the Belt of Strength, and his mystical hammer Mjolnir. The
first item
doubles his strength, while the second is used for control of his
weather
abilities; flight; energy projection and absorption; dimensional
apertures;
matter manipulation and the most powerful of his offensives, the God
Blast,
plus he can hit people with it and the Anti-Force. Mjolnir is not the
source of
Thor's weather abilities. However it does enhance and makes it easier
for Thor
to execute them, as seen in Avengers Disassembled. |
