Thor Odinson is a superhero appearing in American comic books published by Marvel Comics, based on the Germanic god of the same name. Created by artist Jack Kirby, writer Stan Lee, and scripter Larry Lieber, the character first appeared in Journey into Mystery #83 (1962) and first received his own title with Thor #126 (1966). Comic books featuring Thor have been published across several volumes. Thor is one of the gods of Asgard and the son of the Asgardian king Odin. In addition to his Asgardian strength and extended lifespan, Thor wields control over the weather, including rain and lightning. He also carries the enchanted hammer Mjolnir, that enhances his abilities and grants him the ability to fly. Thor was first introduced as the alter ego of surgeon Donald Blake, who acquired Thor's power, which was later revealed to be a fabrication by Thor's father. Thor has since assumed other human identities and sometimes ruled as king of Asgard. Thor's cast of supporting characters includes his fellow Asgardians Odin, Sif, The Warriors Three, and Balder the Brave, as well as other allies such as Jane Foster, Beta Ray Bill, and Hercules. Thor's arch-nemesis is his adoptive brother Loki. Thor is a founding member of the superhero team the Avengers, and has played a significant role in Marvel crossover storylines, including "Avengers Disassembled" (2004), Siege (2010), "Fear Itself" (2011) and "The War of the Realms" (2019). Eric Allan Kramer played Thor in the film The Incredible Hulk Returns (1988), while Chris Hemsworth portrays the cinematic adaptation of Thor in the Marvel Cinematic Universe, first appearing in Thor (2011).
After preventing an international nuclear disaster caused by Radioactive Man—who manages to escape—the Avengers face criticism regarding the limits of their actions and their lack of responsibility given the power they possess. Amidst this climate of instability, the mysterious European aristocrat Baron Helmut Zemo emerges from the shadows, determined to prove that the Avengers can be defeated. Secretly, Zemo assembles a group of superpowered criminals: Enchantress, Skurge, Abomination, Crimson Dynamo, Radioactive Man, and Wonder Man, forming the Masters of Evil. More than winning a battle, Zemo wants to destroy the Avengers' symbol, especially Captain America, because of an old connection to Steve Rogers' past. While Enchantress emotionally manipulates Hulk, transforming him into a threat, Radioactive Man and Absorbing Man expose the destructive potential of Thor's powers. The pressure begins to divide the team: Hank Pym fears that the Avengers are causing more chaos than solutions, leading to conflict with Janet. Meanwhile, Tony Stark and Steve Rogers disagree about leadership and responsibility. Steve confronts ghosts from the past linked to Zemo, while Tony questions whether Iron Man has done more harm than good to the world. When the Masters of Evil launch coordinated attacks around the globe, the Avengers realize too late that it was all part of a larger plan: to isolate each hero before the final blow. The confrontation culminates in a massive siege in Washington, where Zemo reveals he has studied each member of the team. For the first time, the Avengers face an enemy that relies not only on strength, but on strategy.
