He looks like a Viking, and has a power of a god. Behold: mighty Thor
Before the 2011 film painted Thor as an epic-bearded, heartbreakin’ hero, Thor was a product of Marvel comics in the silver age of the genre. Born in 1978, this character is the Thor of Norse mythology – the overall term for myths and legends about supernatural beings of Nordic countries. He has an alter ego, Donald Blake, through whom he treats the ill in private practice. As Thor, he’s friends with Zeus, eats golden apples to sustain his extended lifespan, and most importantly, wears a sweet costume. This summer’s blockbuster movie gave Thor a less primary coloured ensemble. Pick whichever Thor you prefer: Original comic book-style, or Chris Hemsworth.
