I saw the movie Thor over the weekend. What a fantastic movie. Absolutely loved the first one and the second one was even better. In fact I liked it so much that I even got myself a promotional bottle custom shaped like a Thor hammer. It got me thinking though, there are so many aspects about Thor that are not covered in the movie that I decided to do some research. Here are the top 5 things about Thor that I bet many of you may not have realised.

 

  1. Thor mythology is fascinating.
  2. Thor-themed products are popular.
  3. Promote your brand with Thor.

Top 5 Thor Trivias

Thor is a beloved character in both the comic book and movie universes, and there are many interesting facts and trivia about him that fans may not know, including his true parentage, his time on Earth as a doctor, and his unique abilities and weaknesses.

  • The character who is Thor's mother is not his real birth mother. Only decades later does thor learn that she is not his real mother.
  • To teach Thor humility he was not sent to earth for merely a few weeks. In the original comic book he was sent down to earth with a crippled leg. Not only that but he spend several decades on earth where he studied to become a leading surgeon and devoted his time to caring for the sick.
  • In both the movies and in the Avengers movie Thor appears to put up a good fight with any adversary ranging from Iron Man to anyone of the baddies that get in his way. In the comic book though Thor actually tones down his energy in order to make it a fair fight. Why? Well Thor has stregth that goes all the way to infinity. When under duress this strength actually increases 10 fold (although I think the original creators did not quite understand the definition of infinity when they wrote this). He also has a range of other powers including channeling weather, draining life out of an opponents body amongst other interesting talents. Other than being strong he is also invulnerable to almost everything including diseases, poison, he can live on the sun with no effeects and has even survived the blasts of stars and planets (whilst he was physically on it)
  • He can speak a universal language where every dialect and every type of alien can understand him.
  • Thor does have weaknesses, which is namely sourcery as well as Odin his father who can seemingly remove his power quickly. According to the comic book character though he also has a low intellect. Which is surprising because afterall he did become a doctor during his time on earth and he can speak the language of any being on earth!
