Personal history
Early Life
Thor was born in the 19th year of the reign of Odin Borson, to Odin and his Queen, Frigga. He was Odin's second born child, however due to the taboo Odin had placed upon all mentions of his eldest child, Hela, he was welcomed as though he were the firstborn.When he was an infant, his father found and adopted Loki, the child of King Laufey of Jotunheim. The two were raised together, believing themselves to be blood-siblings.
Although close companions, the siblings' natural differences were enhanced by Thor being trained as an Aesir warrior, while Frigga taught Loki Vanir culture and magic.
Restoring the Odinsword
When Thor was 16, he participated in his first battle, fighting alongside his father and the armies of Vanaheim and Asgard against the forces of Ulik the Troll. During the battle, he and a small group of young recruits were cornered by Ulik himself. They were saved by Odin, but in the process, the Odinsword was damaged.After the battle was won, Thor and the other recruits, Volstagg, Fandral, and Hogun swore to restore the Odinsword.
Their quest took them to Alfheim, Nidavellir, and eventually to the fire lakes of Muspelheim, where the sword was reforged.
This journey, which took almost a year, forged a bond of friendship between the four which has lasted almost a thousand years. Along with Loki and Lady Siff, who had grown up with Thor and Loki in the palace, the Warriors Three would be Thor's closest companions throughout his youth.
God of Thunder
As a young man, Thor travelled several times to Midgard, becoming part of the pantheon worshipped by the Norsemen of northern Europe. Due to his ability to control lightning, his thirst for battle, and his appreciation of beautiful women, he was worshipped as a god of war, thunder, strength, and fertility.
His hammer Mjøllnir, a Dwarven Weapon gifted to him by Odin on his coming of age, became an important symbol of the religion, and amulets in the image of the hammer were commonly worn for protection and luck.
Failed Coronation & Attack on Jotunheim
In the 1,094th year of Odin's reign, he decided that Thor was now ready to act as his regent while he entered the Forever Sleep to restore his power. Accordingly, a coronation was planned to formally name Thor King of Asgard.
Loki, jealous that Thor was to be made king rather than him, and also recognising Thor's lack of maturity, smuggled a group of Frost Giants into Odin's Vault, telling them that they could steal back the Casket of Ancient Winters while the Einherjar were distracted by the the coronation.
The Frost Giants were killed by the Destroyer, but the coronation was called off while Odin investigated how they could have entered Valaskjalf without Heimdall seeing them.
Furious, Thor insisted that this constituted an act of war by Jotunheim, and that they should retaliate. However, Odin refused to countenance the recommencement of hostilities between the Realms over the actions of only three Frost Giants.
His pride wounded by the attempted theft and his father's refusal to take his advice, Thor, urged on by Loki's manipulations, persuaded Sif and the Warriors Three to accompany him and Loki to Jotunheim, to avenge the insult paid to Thor's honour. Heimdall, the gatekeeper, agreed to send them there via the Bifrost because he wished to know how the Jotuns had evaded his gaze, but warned that he would only return them to Asgard if it was safe to do so.
On Jontunheim, they quickly found themselves outnumbered and outflanked, facing King Laufey themself. When Thor attempted to summon the Bifrost, Heimdall refused, as there was too great a risk of Jotuns also being transported to Asgard.
The group were eventually rescued by Odin, who was forced to attack Laufey directly, as Laufey claimed Thor's attack constituted a breaking of the treaties which had ended the Aesir-Jotun war.
Banishment to Earth
As punishment for Thor's reckless actions bringing Asgard to the brink of war, Odin stripped Thor of Mjøllnir and banished him to Midgard. He then placed an enchantment on the hammer, so that it could be lifted only by the worthy, and cast it to Midgard after him.
Thor landed on Midgard in the New Mexico desert, close to Puente Antiguo, where he was almost immediately run over by Jane Foster, who was following the atmospheric disturbance created by the Bifrost. When this did not knock him unconcious, Darcy Lewis tased him.
The scientists took him to the hospital in Peunte Antiguo, where the doctors were forced to sedate him to keep him from attacking hospital staff.
The next day he was able to leave the hospital, only to be run over by Jane Foster once again. Foster takes him back to her laboratory and provides him with some clothes, and then she, Lewis, and Erik Selvig take him for breakfast, in the hope that they can persuade him to explain to them how he came to be inside an Einstein-Rosen Bridge.
While they where eating, he overhead some locals discussing a mysterious object which had landed in the desert. Realising that they were describing Mjøllnir, Thor left, intending to reclaim his hammer, but was unable to find transportation. However, Foster's research had been confiscated by S.H.I.E.L.D, and she offered Thor transportation to Mjøllnir, since she has realised that it too has been claimed by S.H.I.E.L.D, who had constructed a temporary base around the hammer.
Thor was able to infiltrate the S.H.I.E.L.D. (in large part because Phil Coulson wanted to know what he would do when he reached the hammer) but due to the enchantment placed on it by Odin, he was not able to lift it, and S.H.I.E.L.D. took him into custody.
Loki's Lie
While he was in custody, Loki appeared to him. Odin had fallen into the Forever Sleep, making Loki the regent, however Loki told Thor at Odin had died of a broken heart due to Thor's rash behaviour, and that his banishment was therefore permanent. Horrified by the thought that he has caused his father's death, Thor accepted his banishment.
Erik Selvig arrived to collect him, claiming that he was Foster's ex-boyfriend who was having a mental health crisis. Although he knew this was not true, Agent Coulson chose to release him.
Selvig had intended to warn Thor away from Foster, however when he took him to a bar to have to conversation, the two began drinking heavily, and ended up bonding. Thor took the now insensate Selvig back to his trailer, where he encountered Foster. After putting the man to bed, the two spent the rest of the evening discussing their cultures' different understandings of science and cosmology, and began to develope feelings for one another.
Battle of Peunte Antiguo
Lady Sif and the Warriors Three had become increasingly suspicious of Loki after he had refused to lift Thor's banishment. With Heimdal's assistance, they travelled to Midgard to retrieve Thor. Loki, unwilling to give up his throne or his plan to prove his own worthiness, sent the Destroyer after them to kill Thor.
Thor and his companions were joined in the battle against the Destroyer by Clint Barton , who had been stationed on the temporary S.H.I.E.L.D. base set up to house Mjøllnir, and Tony Stark, who had been funding Foster's research in exchange for confirmation of Thor's arrival on Earth, and who had become suspicious when she stopped returning his calls.
Despite their forces, the battle was won only when Thor chose to sacrifice himself to protect the innocent civilians of the town. By this act, he proved himself worthy, and Mjøllnir returned to him, saving his life and turning the tide of the battle.
Loki's Fall
Knowing his duty was to return and protect Asgard, Thor bid an emotional farewell to Foster and the other friends he had made on Midgard, swearing to return as soon as he could, before summoning the Bifrost to return him to Asgard.
Arriving in the Himinbjörg, they found Heimdall gravely injured, having been frozen by Loki to keep him from intervening when Loki brought Laufey and a group of Frost Giant soldiers into Asgard. While Lady Sif and the Warriors Three carried Heimdall to the House of Healing, Thor went to confront Loki, arriving just as Loki used gungnir to kill Laufey, intending to frame himself as a hero for rescuing Odin from an assassination attempt he himself had orcestrated.
When Thor revealed his duplicity, Loki fled to the Himinbjörg, intending to use the Bifrost's power to destroy Jotunheim.
Thor followed him, and they battled, but although Thor was able to subdue his sibling, the power coming from the overloading Bifrost prevented Thor from getting close enough to stop it. Seeing no other option, Thor used Mjøllnir to destroy the rainbow bridge, breaking the spells which powered the Bifrost, and sending the Himinbjörg itself crashing down onto the planet's edge.
In the explosion, Thor and Loki were both thrown from the Rainbow Bridge, rescued at the last moment by Odin, awakened from the Forever Sleep by the destruction, caught them. However, when Loki realised that his actions had not made Odin proud of him, he chose to let go, drifting out into deep space, apparently to his death.
Loki's Invasion
Thor was unable to return to Midgard as he had promised Jane Foster until the Bifrost controls were rebuilt. Instead, he spent his time assisting with the rebuilding, learning the duties of a king, and searching for any sign of his lost sibling.
Although he eventually learned that his sibling was alive, he was not able to catch up to him until 2012, when Loki, now working for the warlord Thanos, arrived on Midgard to begin an attempted invasion.
Thor was sent to retrieve his sibling, who had allowed himself to be captured by Tony Stark, Steve Rogers, and Natasha Romanoff. While they were en route back to Hellicarrier 64, Thor attacked their Quinjet, taking Loki.
Rogers prepared to battle Thor, believing him to be an ally of Loki's, but the situation was difused when Thor recognised Stark from the Battle of Puente Antiguo. He agreed to allow them to take Loki, and accompanied them back to the Hellicarrier.
Attack on Hellicarrier 64
On the Hellicarrier, Thor was briefed on the situation by Nick Fury, and was distressed to learn at along with S.H.I.E.L.D. agent Bobbi Morse , Loki had also taken over the mind of Thor's friend Erik Selvig.Thor revealed to the group that Loki had been given control of a Chitauri mothership by Thanos, and was intending to use the powers of the Tesseract to bring his forces to Midgard for a full-scale invasion.
When Agent Morse launched an attack on the Hellicarrier, taking out two of its engines, Thor immediately headed for the cell where S.H.I.E.L.D. was keeping Loki, guessing that this was all part of his sibling's plan. Unbeknownst to Thor, however, Loki had already escaped containment. Using an illusion, he was able to bait Thor into entering the cell. Trapped, Thor could do nothing but watch as Loki murdered Agent Coulson, and activated the emergency release, sending Thor plummeting thousands of feet to the Earth below.
Battle of New York
Thor survived the fall, and made his way to New York City where Selvig had used the Arc Reactor powering Stark Tower as the power source to open a portal into deep space, allowing the Chitauri to invade.He found Loki at the tower, confronting him, but although Loki was able to escape by jumping from the tower onto a passing Chitauri glider.
The newly named Avengers fought to stop the invasion, with Thor focusing his attacks on the Chitauri as they came through the portal, striking them out of the sky with lightning. He was able to kill two leviathans as they entered the portal, but this overtaxed his power, and he was forced to join the battle on the ground while he recovered his strength.
Fighting alongside Hulk, he brought down another leviathan, and then joined Captain America on the ground.
The World Security Council, believing the battle could not be won, ordered a nuclear strike on New York, hoping to wipe out the Chitauri before they could spread to other parts of the globe. Fury alerted Iron Man, who was able to carry the weapon through the portal, aiming it at the Chitauri mothership, effectively killing all the remaining Chitauri by breaking their connection to the mothership hivemind.
At the same time, Morse, assisted by Selvig who had broken free of Loki's mind control, was able to close the portal. Stark, who's Suit had malfunctioned due to the incredible cold of space, fell back through it just as it closed. Rogers directed Thor to catch him, but Hulk got their first, carrying him back to the ground unharmed.
With his forces defeated and his Sceptre in the hands of the Avengers, Loki surrended. S.H.I.E.L.D, recognising that Midgard was not equipped to hold, or try, as Asgardian, allowed Thor to take his sibling (and the Tesseract) back to Asgard to stand trial.
The Marauder War
Almost as soon as Loki's trial was complete, Thor was called to lead Asgard's armies to war. A large force of brigands, calling themselves the Marauders, who had long been pilaging their way through the inhabited galaxies, had turned their attention on Vanaheim, and Thor's grandfather King Frey had called for Asgard's assistance in fighting them.
Thor, accompanied by Lady Sif and the Warriors Three, left on a campaign to drive back the Marauders. Although the forces of Asgard and Vanaheim outnumbered the Marauders, their smaller and less formally structed force proved highly effective at guerilla warfare, and the campaign was to take more than a year of grueling battles before the Marauders were driven off.
Reuinting with Jane Foster
During the celebrations to mark the end of the campaign, Thor slipped away to ask Heindall to turn his eye on Jane Foster. His father, guessing where he had been, advised Thor to give up on her, as a relationship between an Asgardian and a mortal could never suceed.
However, while Heimdall was watching Foster, he witnessed her vanish, as she was sucked through a portal into the hidden cave where the Aether had been entombed by Bor at the end of the First Dark Elf War.
Alarmed, Thor had Heimdall send him to Midgard, arriving just as Foster returned to Midgard, having absorbed the Aether. When a police officer who had been called to investigate her disappearance tried to arrest her, the Aether exploded, knocking out the officers and making Foster collapse. Thor, realising something was seriously wrong, prepared to take Foster with him back to Asgard for treatment. Foster's S.H.I.E.L.D. bodyguard Roz Solomon insisted on accompanying him, saying she was under orders not to allow Foster out of her sight, which Thor permitted.
On Asgard, Thor took Foster and Solomon to the Breidablik so Foster could be examined by the healers there. Odin was furious that Thor had brought humans to the Realm Eternal, but upon seeing Foster, he recognised the Aether. Taking her and Thor back to his library in Valaskjalf, he explained the history of the Dark Elves and the Aether to them.
Sacking of Valaskjalf
Unbeknownst to Odin, Malekith the Accursed had not perished during the First Dark Elf War. He and small group of his forced had in actual fact been in suspended animation on the last remaining Ark, waiting for the Convergence.With the Convergence only a dark away, they launched a full scale attack on Asgard in order to retrieve the Aether, assisted by one of their number who had disguised himself as a Marauder in order to captured and taken to the Valaskjalf dungeons. Using a Kurse stone, he was able to break out and destroy Asgardia's shields, allowing several Harrows to attack Valaskjalf directly.
Thor had left Foster with his mother while he went to assist in supressing the break out from the dungeons. However, when the Harrows attacked, he remembered a warning he had been given by Tony Stark that Frigga would die during an invasion of Asgard, and raced to her chambers.
He arrived just in time to stop Algrim the Kursed from killing Frigga, forcing him and Malekith to flee without the Aether.
However, in the aftermarth, Thor learned that Odin had been forced to fight the Dark Elves alone, and had been killed by Malekith.
Confronting Malakith
Thor wanted to go after Malekith, believing he might be able to extract the Aether from Foster before it killed her. Seeing no other way to force Thor to remain on Asgard, she had Foster imprisoned in the palace.
Detirmined to save her at any lengths, Thor, working with Sif, the Warriors Three, and Roz Solomon, broke Loki out of the cells, and Foster out of the rooms she had been confined to. They initially took one of the crashed Harrows, but this was a ruse, and they transferred to a Skiff stolen for them by Fandral.
Using Loki's knowledge of the secret paths between the Realms, Thor, Loki, and Foster took the skiff to Svartalfheim to confront Malekith.
Using a ruse, they convinced Malekith that Loki had betrayed Thor so he would not be suspicious as to why they were handing Foster over to him. As they had hoped, Malekith was able to extract the Aether, saving Foster's life. Thor then attempted to destroy the Aether, believing it would be vulnerable in its raw form. However, he had underestimated its power, and the explosion did not harm the Reality Stone .
As the Convergence neared, Malekith absorbed the Aether, leaving Algrim and a group of his soldiers behind to kill Thor and his allies.
They were able to defeat the soldiers, but the Kurse stone had rendered Algrim almost invulnerable. In order to destroy him, Loki apparently sacrified his own life to save Thor, letting Algrim stab him in order to get close enough to active one of Algrim's black-hole grenades.
A sandstorm began, forcing Thor to abandon Loki's body and take refuge with Foster in a nearby cave. While exploring the cave, they discovered one of the portals created by the nearing Convergence, while took them back to Midgard.
Battle of Greenwich
Reuiniting with Selving, Darcy Lewis, and Ian Boothby, they were able to use a map of the anomolies caused by the Convergence and detirmine that the centre of the Convergence on Midgard would be at the Royal Naval College in Greenwich.
They modified Selvig's gravimetric spikes, which he had developed to detect the anomalies, to disrupt the anomalies, hoping to use them against Malekith.
Malekith arrived, ploughing his Ark through the thames barried into the college green, and preparing to unleash the Aether through the Convergence, returning the Nine Realms to Ginnungagap, the primordial darkness before the stars, from which the Dark Elves believe they were born.
While Thor battled Malekith, Foster and her team tried to contain the Dark Elf forces. They were eventually joined by Lady Sif, the Warriors Three, and Roz Solomon, who assisted them in fighting the Dark Elves and a Frost Beast which came through a portal to Jotunheim.
Thor and Malekith battled through portals, taking them across Yggdrasill, but the Aether was too strong, and Malekith was able to escape, and begin dispursing its power throughout the Nine Realms.
Arriving back at Greenwich to see Malekith's plan about to come to fruition, Thor took two gravimetric spikes and fought his way close enough to Malekith that he could throw them. The first hit Malekith in the shoulder, but when Foster opened up a portal, tearing off his arm, he used the power of the Reality Stone to regrow it.
Knowing he could not last much longer against the Aether, Thor threw the second spike into the ground at Malekith's feet before collapsing. Foster fired on Malekith using Roz Solomon's gun, forcing him back into the portal she had opened up, banishing him to Svartalfhiem.
Seeing Thor unconcious, and the Ark about to collapse on top of him, Foster ordered Sif to throw the last remaining gravimetric spike into the Ark, and opened a portal, sending it crashing into Svartalfheim, where it crushed Malekith, killing him.
Refusing the Crown
In the aftermarth of the battle, the Aether was retrieved from Malekith's body and taken to Asgard, and a funeral was held for Loki, who's sacrifice to save Thor's life, and thereby the whole of the Nine Realms, was considered full recompense for his crimes.As Odin's eldest son, it was assumed Thor would take the throne as All-Father. However, Thor refused the crown, as he wished to return to Midgard to be with Jane, and fight alongside the Avengers. Instead, he named his mother Frigga as All-Mother of Asgard.
At Thor's request, Dr Foster, Dr Selvig, Ian Soothby, and Agent Solomon were invited as guests of honor to the coronation, the first mortals ever to be welcomed into Asgard. After the coronation, Frigga granted Jane Foster a boon, in recognition of the service she had done the Nine Realms by defeating Malekith. Foster requested that Midgard be given a say in the governance of the Realms, leading to the creation of the Congress of Realms.
Ultron Offensive
Attack on the Hydra Research Base
Thor returned to Earth, where he joined the Avengers in their campaign against HYDRA.The final target of this campaign was a 19th Century fortress in Sokovia, where Wolfgang von Strucker's Hydra faction were conducting experiments using Loki's Sceptre, which had been stolen during the Disolution of S.H.I.E.L.D..
During this battle, the Avengers first encountered the Maximoff twins, Wanda and Pietro, who had been enhanced by Hydra's experiments.
Emergence of Ultron
To celebrate the retrieval of the Sceptre, the Avengers threw a party, to which Tony Stark invited the Anton Vanko Memorial Scholarship Programme students he had been mentoring, including Riri Williams and Toni Ho.During the party, the Scholarshop Programme laboratory was robbed by Maya Hansen's branch of Advanced Idea Mechanics. Among the tech stolen was Ultron, a prototype peacekeeping android developed by Williams and Ho.
Following a homing beacon inside one of the pieces of stolen tech, the Avengers located AIM's base, but arrived to discover that AIM had activated a partially incomplete Artifial Intelligence stored on Ultron's hardrive. Ultron is apparently sapient, but has killed most of the AIM staff and begun using their technology to replicate itself, believing that the only way to achieve peace is by killing or subjugating the human race.
Although the Avengers attempted to fight Ultron, they were unprepared, and in the confusion, Ultron Prime was able to escape, taking Toni Ho with him.
Battle in Johansenburg
The Avengers traced the Maximoff Twins, who had been recruited by Ultron, to Johanesburg, where they were purchasing Vibranium from Ulysses Klaue. Although they were prepared to fight them, the twins were able to escape unharmed.
Rescuing Toni Ho
Ho was able to send a signal to the Avengers with her location, letting them know she was being held in Madrid. While other members of the teamfocussed their efforts on rescuing Ho, and containing the Hulk, Thor battled the Ultron Drones.
