Origin
The Norse god of thunder, Thor is the son of Odin and the giantess Jörd. His wife is Sif and he had a mistress the giantess Járnsaxa. Thor had two sons, Magni and Modi, and he had a daughter named Thrud. He resides in his hall known as the Bilskirnir which is located in Asgard.
Powers and Abilities
He wields the short-handled hammer, Mjölnir, which can be thrown like a boomerang and has the power to throw lightning bolts. In order to lift his hammer, Thor wears the belt, Megingjord (which gives him super strength), and a pair of special iron gloves called Járngreipr. He drives a chariot pulled by the goats, Tanngrisnir and Tanngnjóstr.
