Publication history

Writer-editor Stan Lee described Thor's genesis as following the creation of the Hulk:

“ [H]ow do you make someone stronger than the strongest human? It finally came to me: Don't make him human — make him a god. This article is about the comic book character and series For all other media appearances see Hulk in other media. I decided readers were already pretty familiar with the Greek and Roman gods. It might be fun to delve into the old Norse legends. . . . Besides, I pictured Norse gods looking like Vikings of old, with the flowing beards, horned helmets, and battle clubs.  . . . Journey into Mystery, needed a shot in the arm, so I picked Thor . . . to headline the book. After writing an outline depicting the story and the characters I had in mind, I asked my brother, Larry, to write the script because I didn't have time. . . . [A]nd it was only natural for me to assign the penciling to Jack Kirby. . . . [2] ”

Fictional character biography

The Marvel version of Thor is noble and very self-assured, sometimes to the point of arrogance. Thor's father Odin decides his son needs to be taught humility and consequently places Thor (without memories of godhood) into the body and memories of an existing, partially disabled human medical student, Donald Blake. Odin is a Fictional character that appears in Comic books published by Marvel Comics. After becoming a doctor and thoroughly believing himself to be the young surgeon Blake, he later discovers Thor's disguised hammer and learns to change back and forth into the Thunder God. The real Blake's persona remains elsewhere until many years later, after Odin becomes satisfied of Thor's humility and lifts the spell, thereby removing the need for a mortal alter ego. The mortal experience, however, shapes Thor into an honorable and courteous individual, who is loyal to all comrades.
