Thor (often called The Mighty Thor,) is a Marvel Comics
superhero, based on the thunder god of Norse mythology.
The superhero was created by Stan Lee and Jack Kirby and
first appeared in Journey into Mystery #83 (1962). On
a mission from his father, the omnipotent Lord of Asgard
- Odin, Thor acted as a superhero while maintaining the
secret identity of Dr. Donald Blake, an American medical
doctor. Once Blake tapped his walking stick on the ground,
it transformed into the magical hammer Mjolnir and Blake
transformed into Thor. Thor often battles his adoptive
brother Loki, another Marvel character adapted from a
Norse god, and is a member of the all-star superhero group
The Avengers.
