Thor, one of Earth’s mightiest heroes, is an Asgardian hero based on the Norse god Thor. Thor is the God of Thunder and a member of the Avengers, a team of Marvel’s best and brightest that aim to protect the Earth. Thor has enjoyed a bit more hype as of late, along with Marvel heroes as a whole, thanks to his movie trilogy and the Infinity War movies. But what🎀 is the deal with Thor’s anatomy?
The Marvel movie version of Thor is not only cool and attractive, thanks to Chris Hemsworth and good scriptwriting, but he is also incredibly powerful. We all know that Thor can control lightning, but what about his other powers and abilities? Loki is always pulling tricks – has he turned Thor into anything? There are so many canon appearances that it can be hard to keep track of what Thor can and can’t do. What powers he has and the true extent of his skills can change and vary depending on what comics run you are reading, which can be confusing. Luckily,🐎 we have compiled a list of cool facts about Thor’s anatomy as a quick refresher before you watch the latest Marvel movie. There is no need to spend your entire paycheck trying to catch up on the Thor comics (but we totally get it if that’s what you ꦚend up doing – everyone has been there at some point). Do you know all of these facts? Did we surprise you? Let us know below!
24 Thor Gets His Powers From Magic Apple⛄ Juice 💖
Most people can agree that apple juice is great; in fact, I would argue that it is the superior fruit and fruit juice (don’t @ me, you know it is true). It turns out that Thor has similar feelings about apples, but not because of the taste. In a myth-accurate piece of lore,♏ Thor and the other Asgardian gods get their immortality from eating the golden apples of Idunn, a place in Asgard. An apple a day keeps old age away, apparently.
23 Loki Turnꦚed Thor Into…A Frog??
It is well-known across the realms that Loki is a wily trickster. Norse mythology chronicles his many exploits, and Thor: Ragnarok referenced the tale of Loki transforming himself into a snake as a prank. In the comics, Loki turned Thor into a frog. ꧋This🌞 arc in The Mighty Thor series has Thor lead an army of frogs against a clan of rats and even give a sliver of Mjolnir to a comrade in amphibian battle, Puddlegulp (now known as Throg).
22 Tho🦹r Once Cut Off His Own A▨rm
I✱t is hard to imagine Thor without his awesome hammer, Mjolnir. While it may seem crazy, there was a time where Thor had another weapon of choice. Before he was considered worthy enough to wield Mjolnir, Thor has a giant axe called Jarnbjorn. Jarnbjorn was indestructible and could deflect energy blasts and cut through anything. Unfortunately, Thor accidentally cut off his arm while using the axe. Talk about having a cutting edge weapon! Bet Odin had a real 🍰axe to grind with Thor afterwards.
21 Tho🌊r Had A Clone Made Of Hair ♒
Civil War’s storyline led to some pretty wild events; one of which involved a certain hero getting cloned. Tony Stark made a clone of Thor named Ragnarok to help battle the anti-registration hero known as Goliath. Goliath was defeated by Ragnarok, but Tony dismantled Ragnarok after the battle. While Ragnarok only participated in one battle, it was a pivotal and helpful one. I bet it was confusing for everyone to keep up. Would you make a clone of yꦉourself?
20 💜 Thor Can’t Fly ♕
In the Marve🌼l universe, we see Thor manage to ‘fly’ over great distances to quickly get to his destination. While it seems like he learned some tips from Superman, this trick is actually down to a combination of physics and Mjolnir. Thor uses his great strength to throw himself into the air and in the direction of his destination. When he is above where he needs to be, he swings Mjolnir around above his head to float down like a helicopter – neat!
19 🌌 Thor Used Odinforce Once
Odin, being one of the most powerful beings in the nine realms, has more than a few tricks up his sleeve. As well as being a literal god, he also has the power of Odinforce on his side. Odinforce is powerful and mystical energy used exclusively by kings of Asgard and has powered Gungnir and the Destroyer. When Odin was captured by the demise god, Seth, Odin granted Thor the po💃wer to save him. It’s weird to use life energy to fuel weapons, but okay.
18 Thor Can ꦆUse The Power Of Rage
We have all experienced being filled with rage at some point in our lives. Whether it’s not being allowed candy as a kid to someone cutting us off on the interstate, people can get pretty angry sometimes; it turns out that Thor takes rage to another level. Thor has the power of Warri🎶or’s Madness on his side which basically allows him to Hulk out in battle – but wi🅷thout the green transformation.
17 Thor Is Really Freakꦇing Strong ღ
Being a hero of Earth means having to meet some specific criteria; liking the Earth, heroism, responsibility, crazy powers, and so on. One 𝔍of Thor’s most defining qualities is his hugely imposing figure. His muscles are not just for show, however, as he really is stronger than he looks. While he is natura༺lly strong as a god, he also has a certain piece of equipment in his arsenal that makes him even stronger. You gotta be strong to save people, just heroes might have to fight bad guys or lift heavy things off of civilians.
16 Thor Has Superhuman Durabไility
It takes a lot to travel through dimensions, battle huge monsters, withstand magical attacks, and other wild shenanigans that make up a superheroes’ Friday aಌfternoon. Thor is someone who can deal with a lot both physically, mentally, and emotionally. The guy is practically a 10-ton brick wall he is so tough. He is a little soft on the inside, which is its own kind of durability. Must be awesome to be able to get slapped with a car and just brush it off like it’s nothing.
15 𝓰 He Has Superhuman Speed ꦇ
When in a fight, there are a few skills that need to be built up in order to succeed; strength, technique, confidence, and speed. Your reflexes and tempo are what keep you safe and bruise-free when battlin🍸g another opponent. If you are fast enough, you can even surprise them or exploit a hole in their defense. Thor is able to move incredibly quickly, adding to his ability to win fights easily. Being able to ‘fly’ with Mjolnir helps too, though.
