## Fictional character biography

The Asgardian God of Thunder, Thor had a history similar to his Earth-616 variant. When the Maker arrived on Earth-6160, he rewrote its history into his own image and helped Loki kill Odin and seize the throne of Asgard.
Two weeks after Howard Stark sealed himself and Maker in the City, Thor was rescued from his cell by Iron Lad and Doctor Doom. The Asgardian prison's warden Sif is accidentally brought along for the ride as Tony reveals the truth about the Maker to Thor and Sif, revealing Thor's claim to the Asgardian throne. As they raid the repository in Maker's castle, they are attacked by Henri Duggary, a member of the Maker's Council who wounds Thor with a magic blade. Before collapsing, Thor manages to teleport himself, his allies, and one of the repositories back to Stark Tower. Iron Lad uses technology to help heal Thor.
As the sword that was used on Thor was infused with arcane energy, his wounds haven't healed for a while. When the Ultimates confronted exterminators Hank Pym and Janet van Dyne, Sif stayed by Thor's side to protect him as he is their only mode of transportation since the Bifrost Bridge remains shattered. He did managed to attack some of Duggary's forces during another attack, later leaving with the team as they defeat the ruler of the East Coast.
Thor and Sif later accompany Iron Lad to an island in the South Pacific where they annoy Iron Lad by killing the gamma-irradiated wildlife. When a gamma-irradiated humanoid attacks, Thor and Sif fight it. Before Thor can strike a finishing blow, the fight is broken up by a local She-Hulk named Lejori Zakaria who calms the gamma-irradiated humanoid enough for it to regress back to its human form. Learning about what Bruce Banner had done with the gamma bomb experiment on another island that irradiated the islanders, Thor, Iron Lad, and Sif agree to help restore the island back to the way it was before the gamma bomb in exchange that Lejori shows them her strength.
Thor and Sif are among the Ultimates that arrive at a Damage Control facility only to end up transported to K'un-L'un where they ended up fighting Hulk and his Immortal Weapons. The fight was fierce and Doom was able to get them out at the cost of Iron Lad being badly injured.
Thor and Sif are at Yggdrasil where they plan to sow discord in Asgard and give All-Father Loki a taste of his own medicine.
