Thor is doubtlessly one of the strongest being in the Marvel Universe , and he   is one of the key members of the Avengers . Along with his fellow Asgardians , Thor have a curing of rare superpowers and abilities , many of which can not be copy by anyone else . Much of that is due to his trustworthy hammer Mjolnir .

In Kenneth Branagh’sThor , Odin suppose , " Whoever holds this hammer , if he be desirable , shall have the power of Thor . "   However , inThor : Ragnarok , the God of Thunder learned the powers descend from within him .   While fans have already escort Thor   use a few of his   powers , the   vast majority of his power have eluded the large concealment , and most of his powers remain unknown to casual moviegoers .

update on July 11th , 2022 , by Shawn S. Lealos : The story of Thor continue in the Marvel Cinematic Universe inThor : Love and Thunderin 2022 . This see the God of Thunder in what looks like retirement , as he let other warrior to carry on their battle while he sought pacification . However , Thor is pulled out of retirement when he has to battle Gorr the God Butcher , and it will take all his powers and friends to tucker out this evil killer . With Thor back for another adventure , it will be interesting to see if the MCU give him some more mightiness , as his comic book counterpart has a caboodle of powers that motion picture fans have still never witnessed .

Superhuman Longevity

Thor is not a young man . While he looks vernal , he said he was actually 1,500 years old in the MCU . This is close to the strip , as in those he is between 1,500 and 1,800 yr old and has been around for a very prospicient time , include fighting to protect Earth centuries before the age of Hero began .

This is because Thor has superhuman seniority . This is part of his being as a god , where he has ego - sustenance , and his body does n’t need the same thing as a human to grow older . As Odin shows , the god will eventually produce old , but for Thor , that still seem to be a long time forth .

Super Breath

Thor has a power that he almost never uses , but it is a merriment one anyway . Just like Superman over in DC , Thor has the index of super - breath . This was in reality shown for the first time inJourney Into Mystery#86 ( 1962 ) by Stan Lee , Larry Lieber , Jack Kirby , Dick Ayers , and Artie Simek .

In this publication , a baddie cognise as Zarrko tries to inject Thor with a ordnance that would send him to another proportion . To stop this , Thor uses his A-one - breath , which is described as " hurricane force out . "

The Odinforce

The MCU has show Odin go into his Odinsleep to rejuvenate and recharge his mightiness , but the movie did n’t go too far into describing this exterior of that . What Odin was recharge was his Odinforce , which is the all - power than allowed him to rule over Asgard and protect the Nine Realms with almost straight-out godlike powers .

When Odin stepped down and turned the throne of Asgard over to Thor in the comedian , the God of Thunder receive the Odinforce . Like his Father-God , this leave Thor immense powers outside of his normal powerset , but it also expect him to use Odinsleep to keep them charged up .

Cosmic Pyrokinesis

Thor also has a exponent known as Cosmic Pyrokinesis . This is a new one and is based on a retcon to the blood of Thor , one that he discovered when the Phoenix Force returned to Earth search a fresh host and push Earth ’s heroes to fight each other for the perquisite . This is when Thor learned that the Phoenix was his real mother and not Frigga .

Along with the knowledge that Phoenix was his mother , he added a new business leader to his repertory . This was the Cosmic Pyrokinesis , which set aside Thor to generate cosmic flames similar to Phoenix and then utilize it as a weapon similar to his lightning .

God Blast

It ’s without a doubt that Thor , the God of Thunder , is one of the strongest beings in the Marvel Universe . But , beyond his brute strength , he relies to a great extent on his inherent powers to accomplish victory . For a foresightful metre , Thor ’s powers were channeled through his orphic hammer Mjolnir . Due to a series of rather agonizing events , Doctor Strange establish it necessary to bind Thor ’s lifeforce with Mjolnir .

The two became virtually one and the same . Therefore , if Mjolnir were damage , so would Thor , and vice versa . While that could be considered a bad thing , it ’s not all unsound .   By being bound to the cock , Thor can accurately use his ultimate power , the God Blast , a destructive blast force that can put down and defeat practically anything , including immortals .

Super Speed

Thor is a god , and when wielding Mjolnir , he can travel at ludicrous speeds . But how fast is he , on the button ? In some translation , Thor is not only one of the strong lineament in the Marvel Universe , but he is also one of the fastest , which is evident by his power to travel quicker than the speed of brightness level .   move that fast has tolerate Thor to take down Quicksilver , one of the fastest 10 - Men characters .

While there is no quantifiable elbow room to determine how tight Thor is , he once said that , on Earth , he can travel at supersonic speeds , but in space , he could travel around the Sun and across the universe in a matter of seconds . That is all probably due to Mjolnir ’s power transcending both time and outer space . Yes , Thor once trip through time .

Transformation

Fans of Branagh’sThormoviewill remember that Odin get off his son to Earth - powerless - to instruct him some humility and once again become suitable of Mjolnir . The same thing bump in the comics , albeit with some differences . For one , Thor came to Earth without any memories of Asgard and , instead , was given the identity of a medical student name Donald Blake .

After a series of result , Donald Blake happen to come across Mjolnir disguised as a walk stick . When he slammed it on the ground , he transformed into the god Thor - double-dyed with the looks and powers of the Thunder God . For class , Thor would continue his medical practice and use the hammering to   translate between the mortal Donald Blake and the god Thor , but , eventually , he gave up his alter - ego and returned home to Asgard .

All-Tongue

Being an Asgardian god and the protector of the Nine Realms , Thor ’s Book of Job must need converse with drastically different race , many of which speak different languages . While it ’s easier for movie maker to have everyone speak English , so that audiences can keep running of the dialogue , in the comedian , Thor speaks every language from all of the Nine Realms .

Well , sort of . He utter whatever speech communication he wants . However , with the Thor office of the All - Tongue , whoever he ’s verbalise to will automatically hear him in their aboriginal language .

Invulnerability

Being an Asgardian / Elder God crossbreed ( akin to that of a demigod ) , Thor has been grant exemption to all of Earth ’s diseases and infirmities , as well as extreme heat and subzero temperature .   In improver to his immunity , Thor is virtually invulnerable .

Not only is his pelt impenetrable to human weapons system and peter , but he also has pilot into the nerve center of the Sun ( as well as other adept ) , withstood the weight of satellite , resist blasts from Odin , Celestials , and the Asgardian weapon Destroyer , and has survived - unscathed - the blast from the Doomsday Bomb .

Superhuman Senses

When thinking about a superhero with superhuman mother wit - someone who can hear people Swedish mile away or see things no one else can see - people reckon about Superman . Which makes sense , but the fact is , not many people realize that Thor ’s superhuman senses far outmatch that of Superman ’s . Once again , thanks to Thor ’s Asgardian / Elder God physiology , Thor ’s senses are heightened to an unprecedented degree .

Thor was able to take down Quicksilver , who was moving quicker than the speed of light , due to his ability to track object at FTL   speeds . Additionally , Thor can see aim that consist on the edge of the solar arrangement . As for sound , Thor has lay claim to be able to hear cries from the other side of the world .

Superhuman Healing

As everyone knows , Thor is the God of Thunder - which arrive with a few perks . For one , he ’s intimately unbeatable . But do not mistake him being nearly invincible for him being invulnerable . He can be harmed , and , if the circumstances are good , even kill , though that is near - impossible .

Like several other characters in the Marvel Universe , Thor possesses superhuman healing in addition to his near invulnerability . While he can not regrow a lost limb , like   Deadpool , he can regenerate rather quickly , similar to   Wolverine , just   not quite so agile .   Thor ’s power are not unlimited and required time to be replenished .

Earth Control

In the early 2000s , due to a series of rather complex event , many Asgardians found themselves trapped inside the bodies of average humans . And that ’s where they stay on until Thor bring back from his deep sleep - after first break the Ragnarok bike - and ramp up a novel Asgard above Oklahoma . When Thor render , he was essentially converted and discover his power over the Earth , making him one of the most powerful Asgardian gods .

After swallow his older God inheritance , not only could Thor summon the atmospheric condition , but he could also assure parts of the Earth , and even make chasm spanning across the continent as well as causing earthquakes . In times of pauperism , when weapons and brute enduringness are not the resolution , perhaps ravines separating Thor from his enemy becomes   necessary .

Mind Resistance

Thor has an indomitable will , but his brain is far stronger than most people realize . In addition to having a judgement - body relationship with his trusty hammering Mjolnir , Thor has a natural ability for mind / mental opposition . However , that ’s not to say he has n’t been thinker - controlled before .

Over the course of his many age , Thor has push and vote down several telepathic mutants and resisted the music from Ares , a thinker - attack from Glory , and a idea blast from Super - Beast , and he has resisted the gravest of Loki ’s spells . While Thor is no Charles Xavier or Jean Grey , he ’s managed to resist even their head flak , although he ultimately   gives in . Thor ’s mind is not heavy , but it is much more difficult for someone on Marvel ’s Earth to pervade than a cosmic entity .

Mind Powers

In addition to have superior mind / genial resistance compare to his fellow Avengers and Asgardians , Thor has shown the electrical capacity to counteract mind blasts and even assume ascendance of other beings .   For example , in a series of plot line in the 1980s , the Asgardian Goddess of Death Hela cursed Thor , making him immortal but also brittle .

After vote out the Midgard Serpent in battle , Thor ’s body was basically inoperable , so he mentally take control of the Destroyer and forced Hela - upon pain of death - to bump off his scourge .   Thor has even shown the ability to castrate one ’s memory , such as having been able tomake Jane Foster forget that she was ever kidnapped by Loki . He calls this Thor power the Gift of Forgetfulness

Self-Sustenance

Asgardians are capable of go for prolonged periods of sentence without eating , drunkenness , or sleeping . For instance , if Thor was on a derelict major planet , he ’ll be able to survive for a long geological period of metre . And if he was lost somewhere in bass space , he ’ll still be able-bodied to survive because he can go without line for an extended duration , incomparably longer than humans .

But that does n’t mean he does n’t need food . Everyone require food , even the graven image , which is why they tend to have orotund - scale spread from clip to time .   The extent of Thor ’s power to remain ego - sustained varies , but it has been said that he once fought the Frost Giant army for almost a year without sustenance or rest .

Superhuman Stamina

Being an Asgardian / Elder God hybrid , Thor ’s physiology is unique ; he has powers and ability far greater than the warrior Three or that of his chum , Loki . One thing Thor share with many of his fellow Asgardians and Avengers teammates is his stamina . Like his fellow Avenger , Captain America , Thor possess superhuman stamina .

However , Thor can significantly outlive Captain America ’s endurance , which is evident in his aforementioned battle with the Frost Giants which lasted over nine months .   The actual extent of his power is vague . Although   Thor can struggle for considerably longer than most being , he still requires clip to restore .

Warrior’s Madness

There have been countless conflict in comic books and movie with the hero pitted against a superscript or overwhelming force-out . How they pull off to outlive against overwhelming odds and declare victory is something that can be attributed to various factor . Thor is one of those heroes who own such an ability , one where if used can be detrimental not only to his enemies but to his friends as well .

The Thor power in interrogation is known as Warrior ’s Madness . In battle , Thor can enrol into the Warrior ’s Madness , which temporarily increases his strength and toughness ; however , it also puts him in a body politic of berserker rage . He will attack anyone who gets in his way , include his protagonist .   When used , thisThor power makes him the most powerful Avenger , by far .

Master Combatant

It ’s no secret that Thor is one of the most powerful existence in the Marvel Universe , having been bred and trained to be a warfare god . He has fought and overcome countless enemies over his many years to protect the Nine Realms , just as his father , Odin , did before him . But it ’s how Thor fights that is singular .

As a warrior , Thor has utilize various artillery .   His weapon of selection is the mystical hammer Mjolnir , but his opponents should be warned that the God of Thunder is also capable of expertly wielding swords , maces , and axes , among other things . And , if indigence be , he is profoundly skilled in paw - to - bridge player combat .

Teleportation

When lineament have been around for decades , sometimes it ’s nice to spruce up things up with variations and minor reboots . That is what Marvel had in mind when they launched the Ultimate Marvel Universe in   2000 . On Earth-1610 , the majority of Marvel ’s independent characters receive updated and re - imagined versions . Here , Thor swear considerably less on Mjolnir for his powers and is establish to be a rather self-important and unwilling warrior .

Most of Thor ’s force do not come from Mjolnir but is rather conduct through it , which is why his power in the Ultimate Universe has been drastically reduced . However , this is an offset , for , in this universe , he ’s able to teleport with the assistance of rune magic . It is say that he can travel not bad distances - across the cosmos and in between different dimensions . The extent of Thor ’s force , however , is unnamed .
