Who they arebeyond the guide
The Asgardian god of thunder, over a thousand years old, who channels storm and lightning through Mjolnir and later Stormbreaker — though Ragnarok establishes the power was always his and the hammer only focused it. He carries the cosmic half of the franchise, and loses his home, his family and most of his people doing it.

- 2011His arrogance restarts a war with the Frost Giants. Odin strips his power and banishes him to New Mexico, where he meets Jane Foster, learns humility, and becomes worthy of Mjolnir again.Open Thor →
- 2012He arrives to take Loki home and stays to fight, having no standing on Earth and no patience with anyone who says so.Open The Avengers →
- 2013Frigga, Thor's mother, is killed. Thor and Loki reluctantly ally; Loki fakes his own death, then secretly deposes Odin and rules Asgard disguised as him.Open Thor: The Dark World →
- 2015Thor settles the argument by striking the cradle with lightning. The proof he's trustworthy is that he casually picks up Mjolnir and hands it to Thor mid-conversation. Thor leaves to investigate the Stones.Open Avengers: Age of Ultron →
- 2017Hela catches Mjolnir one-handed — which nothing else in the franchise had managed — and crushes it. Worthiness is Odin's enchantment, and she predates and outranks it. Thor learns his power was never in the hammer, deliberately triggers Ragnarok to kill her, and leaves with a people rather than a place.Open Thor: Ragnarok →
- 2018Carol Danvers locates Thanos on a remote planet. He has already used the Stones a second time to destroy the Stones, so there is nothing to undo. Thor kills him in about three seconds. It accomplishes nothing, and the guilt of not aiming for the head the first time is what breaks him for five years.Open Avengers: Infinity War →
- 2018 → 2023Sent back to 2013 for the Reality Stone, he finds his mother. She knows instantly that he is from the future — she is a witch, and she does not care. He gets absolution, which is the thing he actually needed.Open Avengers: Endgame →
- 2022Gorr, given a wish, asks for his daughter back rather than the death of the gods. Thor raises her. The guide notes his line in the Doomsday trailer about being given a child suggests this matters.Open Thor: Love and Thunder →
