Thor Borson

**Thor Borson** (ソー・ボールサン, *Sō Bōrusan*), also known as "**Thunderer**" (サンダラー, *Sandarā*), is both a fictional character and protagonist of the *MDC's* *JA* series created by Gardner Fox and Jack Kirby. He is one of the Justice Avengers' founding members.

Dr. **Donald Blake** (ドナルド・ブレイク, *Donarudo Bureiku*), was the Asgardian god of thunder, but chose going to Midgard to help mortals, despite the protests of his father. There, he learned more than humility of mankind, but also ways of team work.

As such for the group's foundation, Thunderer found a second home on earth among the Justice Avengers and devoted himself to protecting his adopted home from forces of evil. With his enchanted hammer, he vanquished any foes who may threaten his allies.

"*I am Thor, son of Odin and prince of this realm called Asgard.*"

—Thunderer, to Beta Ray Bill.

## Abilities and Powers

Thor is the most powerful warrior in all of Asgard and one of the most powerful beings ever to set foot on Earth. His physical strength is greater even than Odin's, although that is the only way Thor is stronger than his father. He can effortlessly lift over 100 tons, shown when he stopped a large portion of New York city from dropping down and destroying the rest of the city. He is a master of armed and unarmed combat, as he displays in almost every appearance of his. He has fought and defeated the Abomination and Absorbing Man in combat, and went toe-to-toe with the Hulk.

He is also nigh-invulnerable, as he can easily shake off a punch from an enraged Hulk, was able to survive being attacked by all of the Leaders creatures, and many other feats. He has superhuman stamina, shown as he never gets tired even after the most grueling of battles. He does have limits though, as he was knocked unconscious by deflecting the beam fired at Earth by Kang's ship, and when he sent a huge bomb into space to prevent it from destroying the Earth. Thor does not need to breathe, as shown when he flies into space for various reasons. He is also able to breath in outer space.

Thor has shown the ability to fly and levitate without his hammer. When Thor is armed with his mystical warhammer Mjolnir, he is given even more power than what he naturally has. He is able to fly, control the weather, call upon lightning (which is his main attack), and use it to unleash powerful beams of energy. Since Mjolnir is more or less unbreakable, Thor can attack foes with all of his might without fear of damaging it.

Thor relies heavily upon his hammer, and is somewhat distraught whenever he is separated from it, though he also states that he does not fear Mjolnir's power when Beta Ray Bill took up the hammer. He can also use Mjolnir to open portals to the other realms, which he once used to return the Hulk from Jotunheim, and to try and track down the Enchantress.

### Weaknesses

Thor seems to heavily rely on his hammer and he uses it for his strongest attacks. It is shown that if he is attacked by his hammer or an element from it (Beta Ray Bill used his hammer and Absorbing Man using the powers absorbed from it). Also if his hammer is far or trapped he has to have it fly back to him but in some cases he must retrieve it on his own.

### Weapons

His only weapon is Mjolnir, a magical hammer made of uru metal crafted by Eitri and his dwarven blacksmiths on Nornheim. It was magically protected by Odin's spell which may only be lifted if the person worthy enough to wield it since Thor has proven himself worthy of it while in his exile on Earth.

## History

### Past

#### Young adventures

The son of Odin, the ruler of Asgard, Thor was a spoiled prince who had never left the confines of the walls of Asgard. Thor was raised with his brother Loki, a skilled sorcerer. He was allowed to win every training battle with Odin's elite guard, the Einherjar. After being embarrassed by Sif in battle, Thor followed the Warriors Three on their quest to find the Sword of Surtur. After discovering that the Warriors Three only visit the outpost pub when they leave Asgard, led him and Loki to join the group and search for the sword. This led them to Jotunheim where they were able to secure the sword of Surtur, but due to Thor's inexperience, he could not control the sword properly and ended up killing two Frost Giant sentries. The young Odinson's actions led to a war between the Jotunheim and Asgard. After Algrim the Dark Elf took the sword and attacked Odin, Loki was able to kill him, and Thor was able to end the war.
