Thor, also known as Donar or Thunor, is the Asgardian god of thunder and son of Odin.
History
During World War II, Thor was summoned by Adolf Hitler and mind-controlled with the Spear of Destiny into abducting President Roosevelt and Prime Minister Churchill, but this plot was foiled by Justice Society members Doctor Fate and Green Lantern.[2]
Decades later, Thor accompanied his father Odin and the treacherous Loki to the Dreaming to bargain with Dream of the Endless for ownership of the then-vacant throne of Hell.

- Superhuman Stamina: Thor's stamina and endurance are on a godly level, allowing him to go toe to toe with Big Barda.
- Superhuman Strength: Thor possesses enough physical strength to act as a worthy opponent to the New God Big Barda and match her blow for blow.

He has displayed enough raw strength to knock out Loki with a single blow.[3]

Notes
- This character or object is an adaptation of Thor, a character or object in traditional stories. These include, but may not be limited to religious texts, myth, and/or folk lore. More information on the original can be found at Wikipedia.org.
- Although this character was originally introduced during DC's Earth-One era of publication, their existence following the events of the 1985–86 limited series Crisis on Infinite Earths remains intact. However, some elements of the character's Pre-Crisis history may have been altered or removed for Post-Crisis New Earth continuity, and should be considered apocryphal.
- In New Comics Vol 1 9, in the Vikings feature, the character Djorg "threatens the vengeance of the great god Thor" and the longship is overtaken by a terrific storm. If true, that issue is the first appearance of Thor, but behind the scenes.
