“Alternative versions of Thor (Marvel Comics)”的意思、由来-开放百科全书

This is a page that shows the alternative versions of Thor, based on the mythological character.

In mainstream comic continuity

Red Norvell

Part of a documentary crew brought to Asgard by Loki, Roger "Red" Norvell meets and falls in love with Lady Sif. Red Norvell is given Thor's Iron Gauntlets and Belt of Strength by Loki to compete with Thor for Sif's affections, beating him and taking his hammer, with neither realizing this was part of a master plan by Odin to create a surrogate God of Thunder to die fighting the Serpent of Ragnarok and fulfill the prophecy.^[1]

Beta Ray Bill

Beta Ray Bill is the champion of the Korbinites, an alien race. Debuting in Thor #337, the character was initially intended to be a surprise as an apparent monster who unexpectedly proves to be actually a great hero. As such, Bill becomes the first being outside of the Marvel Universe's Norse pantheon to be deemed worthy enough to wield Thor's hammer, Mjolnir. After an initial rivalry for possession of the weapon, both the Thunder God and the alien warrior reconciled as staunch allies. Bill is granted a war hammer of his own called Stormbreaker, which grants him the same powers as Thor.^[2] He has since made numerous appearances.

Eric Masterson

Thor initially bonded with architect Eric Masterson to save the latter's life when he was injured as a bystander during one of Thor's battles. The bonding allows Masterson to transform into Thor while Thor's mind gains control. Later, Thor is punished for apparently killing Loki and exiled. Masterson retains possession of Mjolnir and the ability to transform into Thor's form, continuing his roles as a member of the Avengers and protector of Earth. Thor is eventually released from exile, but asks that Masterson continue serving as in his stead. Tricked by the Enchantress Masterson attacks Thor, and soon after relinquishes Mjolnir to Thor. In gratitude for his services, Odin provides Masterson with an enchanted mace, Thunderstrike, the name of which he uses as his new code name.^[3] He later heroically sacrifices himself to defeat the Egyptian god Set. The weapon and name Thuderstrike are later taken up by Masterson's son Kevin.

Dargo Ktor

Dargo Ktor is the host of a 26th-century version of Thor, who is empowered when holding Mjolnir, a subject of worship in that century.^[4]

Jane Foster

Marvel announced that in October 2014 there will be a new Thor who is female.^[5]^[6] As revealed in the aftermath of the Original Sin storyline, Thor lost his ability to wield Mjolnir, which was later found by Jane Foster who obtains Thor's power and his name.^[7] Thor, unaware of his successor's identity and believing Jane Foster would not be able to use Mjolnir due to her cancer, used the battle axe Jarnbjorn.

Alternative continuities

1602

A version of Thor appears with an alter ego of an elderly Christian priest named Donal—an allusion to Thor's original secret identity Donald Blake. Donal fears and despises his alter-ego, believing that the shared existence will damn him.^[8] This version of Thor speaks in Anglo-Saxon alliterative verse rather than the Shakespearean English that the mainstream universe Thor speaks in.

2099

Set in the year 2099, the role of Thor is taken by a man named Cecil MacAdam, who belongs to a class of priests known as "Thorites" who worship the original version of Thor. Avatarr, the CEO of Alchemax, grants him and others the powers of the Norse gods, along with brainwashing that both convinces them they are the gods and keeps them under his control^[9] Later, in "2099: Manifest Destiny", a rejuvenated Steve Rogers finds Mjolnir and becomes the new Thor. He gives Mjolnir to Miguel O'Hara (Spider-Man 2099) at the end of the story.{{issue|date=February 2013}}

Age of Apocalypse

In this continuity, Donald Blake never discovers Mjolnir and thus never becomes Thor. Blake, as a member of the Human High Council, meets with Mikhail Rasputin (one of Apocalypse's horsemen) for peace talks. Knowing the mutant would never keeps his word, Blake stabbed him through the chest with his cane and shoved him out a window, where both fell to their deaths.

Amalgam Comics

In the Amalgam Comics universe, Thor is joined with Orion to form Thorion. Thorion was the son of Thanoseid (Thanos/Darkseid), but was traded to All-Highfather Odin in order to seal a truce between the realms of Apokolips and New Asgard.

During one adventure, L'ok D'saad (An amalgamation of Loki and Desaad), he for whom Thorion was traded, sought to use the Mother Cube (a mixture of a Mother box and the Cosmic Cube) and its Infinity Essence to awaken the Sleeping One called Surtur and bring about a second Ragnarok that would end everything. Thorion, however, invoked the power of the Source via his hammer to halt L'ok's evil wishes. Because of the great energies released during their conflict, Thorion was remade into a cosmic being known as The Celestial.^[10]

In Unlimited Access, a limited series which further explored themes introduced in DC vs. Marvel, the hero known as Access formed an amalgamation of what appeared to be the Silver Age versions of Thor and Superman (in his then-current blue energy form). Together, they were known as Thor-El.^[11]

King Loki

In an alternate future (then the actual future) depicted in Loki: Agents of Asgard, King Loki successfully destroys the Earth, and King Thor comes to him for revenge for killing everyone he loves. King Loki raises an army of undead from the corpses of the Avengers, and Thor fights them off before King Loki retreats into the past to corrupt the Thor of the present.^[12]

Marvel Mangaverse

A version of Thor appears briefly and aids the heroes against an other-world version of the villain Dormammu.^[13]

Marvel Noir

While Thor does not appear in Marvel Noir, the Noir version of Baron Zemo reveals that his castle was previously inhabited by a mad Norse Man who believed that he was a God of Asgard, and would frequently attack people with a hammer. Zemo holds up his skeleton, and the skull is wearing a helmet reminiscent of Thor's original helmet in the 616 continuity.^[14]

Marvel Zombies

Briefly, Thor appears as a cannibalistic zombie wielding a makeshift version of a hammer composed of a concrete block and pipe as he is no longer worthy to wield Mjolnir, which he breaks when trying to attack the Silver Surfer. When the Silver Surfer is finally struck down, only a handful of zombies manage to eat a piece of his body, and Thor is not one of them. Those who did consume the Silver Surfer acquire his cosmic powers, and Thor, along with the rest of the zombies, is seemingly slaughtered. Giant-Man can be seen throwing away his skeleton after burning his body.{{issue|date=February 2013}}

But in Marvel Zombies: Dead Days- a one shot prequel to the main events of the Zombie universe-, Thor is amongst the heroes on the S.H.I.E.L.D. helicarrier who survived the first wave of the zombie plague. After Reed Richards was driven insane following his construction of a device to travel to other universes, Thor, on Nick Fury's orders, destroyed the device rather than using it to escape to another dimension unaffected by the virus, in order to ensure that what had happened to their world couldn't happen to another.^[15]

Spider-Ham

Ultimate Marvel

Thor is a member of the superhero team the Ultimates in the Ultimate Marvel Universe.^[17] Despite his claims to be a Norse god, he is regarded by many to be delusional during the first months of his career. It is not until he is seen summoning an army of Asgardian warriors to fend off an attack on Washington DC by demonic forces commanded by Loki that Thor's teammates realize he is exactly who he says he is.^[18]

Marvel Cinematic Universe

The Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU; aka Earth-199999) version of Thor is played by Australian actor Chris Hemsworth, and makes his debut in the eponymous film.

The MCU Thor is a powerful but arrogant and bloodthirsty Prince of Asgard and the God of Thunder, who is about to be crowned king. After he unwittingly re-ignites the age-old conflict between the Frost Giants and Asgardians, his father Odin strips him of his power and banishes him to Earth along with his hammer, which Odin enchants so that only the worthy can wield it. On Earth Thor eventually learns humility and falls in love with Jane Foster, an astrophysicist. During a final battle between him and the Destroyer, Thor proves his worth through sacrifice and regains his powers. He returns to Asgard to stop his half-brother Loki, who had manipulated Thor, causing his banishment, and subsequently planned to destroy the Frost Giants and claimed Asgard's throne. Thor foils Loki's plan by destroying the Bïfrost Bridge between the worlds; Loki falls to his presumed death, causing Thor much grief, and he is unable to return to Earth to see Jane.

Thor returns in The Avengers. He discovers Loki is alive and on Earth, and uses the newly repaired Bïfrost to reclaim his brother from the custody of Tony Stark, Steve Rogers and Natasha Romanoff. Thor engages in a brief duel with Stark and Rogers when they try to stop him, but he learns Loki is threatening to subjugate Earth, using the power of an alien sceptre and army provided by a mysterious benefactor in exchange for capturing the Tesseract. Following Phil Coulson's death during an attack on the helicarrier, Thor decides to help the Avengers - including Banner, Romanoff and Clint Barton (once freed from Loki's control) - in stopping Loki and the alien invasion. At the end of the film, Thor takes Loki back to Asgard to stand trial for his actions.

A year later in The Dark World, Thor is alarmed when he learns his girlfriend Jane Foster is infected by a mysterious but powerful relic called the Aether, capable of altering reality. He returns to Earth and takes her with him to Asgard to find a cure, only for Asgard to fall under fire from an old enemy of Odin named Malekith who seeks the Aether. During the assault Thor's mother Frigga is killed by Malekith and a vengeful Thor along with a freed Loki who was imprisoned for his war crimes on Earth stop Malekith's plot and save Jane but at the cost of Loki’s life who apparently dies in front of his eyes. Thor later returns to Earth and resumes his relationship with Jane.

In Age of Ultron, Thor helps the Avengers to disable a Hydra cell in Eastern Europe and reclaim Loki’s lost sceptre. Stark asks to study the sceptre, and Thor is enraged to discover that Stark used it to create an A.I, Ultron, that goes rogue and plans to "save" humanity by destroying life on Earth. Thor helps combat Ultron and the mysterious twins Pietro and Wanda Maximoff, the latter of whom triggers mysterious nightmares in his head. Investigating these visions leads him to learn about the Infinity Stones, and Thor returns to help create Vision, entrusting the Mind Stone to his care. After stopping Ultron in Sokovia, Thor leaves to search for the Infinity Stones after concluding that a hidden sinister figure is playing a game with them.

Two years later in Ragnarok, after being unsuccessful in his search for the stones, Thor is captured by Surtur, a fire giant and king of Muspelheim who warns him about Ragnarök and that Odin is no longer in Asgard. Thor defeats Surtur and takes his crown back to Asgard, only to find Loki alive and impersonating Odin. Thor forces Loki to travel with him to Earth to find Odin, and with help from Doctor Strange finds their father just before he passes away. Odin's death releases Hela, his firstborn daughter and the Goddess of Death, from her imprisonment. Hela destroys Thor’s hammer and he and Loki are banished to Sakaar, where the Grandmaster forces him to fight his old friend and fellow Avenger Hulk in a gladiatorial duel. After escaping the planet along with Banner, Loki and Scrapper 142, a Valkyrie, he returns to Asgard and stops Hela by freeing Surtur and causing Ragnarök, though not before Hela destroys one of Thor's eyes. He and Hulk escape the destruction of Asgard with the surviving Asgardians, including Loki, Heimdall and Valkyrie, in a ship stolen from the Grandmaster, but they are confronted by Thanos' ship Sanctuary II.

Shortly after in Infinity War, the Asgardian's ship is attacked by Thanos and his children, the Black Order, who slaughter half of the Asgardians aboard. The other half escape with Valkyrie while Heimdall, Loki, Thor and the Hulk fight Thanos. Thanos kills Heimdall - whose last act is to send Hulk to Earth to warn the Avengers - and Loki, from whom he obtains the Tesseract, one of the Infinity Stones. Thanos then destroys the ship and leaves Thor for dead, but some time later he is rescued by the Guardians of the Galaxy, responding to the Asgardian distress signal. Thor warns the Guardians that Thanos is heading to Knowhere to obtain the Reality Stone in the Aether, and leaves them to stop him while he, Rocket Raccoon and Groot head to Nidavellir to forge a new weapon: Stormbreaker. The trio head to Earth to join the Avengers battling against Thanos and his Outriders, and Thor attacks Thanos with Stormbreaker, but does not kill him before Thanos uses the now-complete Infinity Gauntlet to accomplish his goal. Thor is one of the few Avengers to survive.

What If?

In an early What If story, Jane Foster discovered the stick rather than Donald Blake, spending time as a female Thor (called Thordis) before she was recalled to Asgard, allowing Odin to return the hammer to its rightful owner, although Jane went on to be elevated to godhood so that she could marry Odin.^[19]

In What If Rogue possessed the power of Thor?, Rogue accidentally permanently absorbed Thor when she and Mystique attempted to break the Brotherhood out of prison, resulting in her killing most of the Avengers and the Brotherhood when she was unable to cope with Thor's power. Although Loki attempted to manipulate her into waging war on Asgard after she was able to lift Thor's hammer, the sight of Odin's genuine sense of loss allowed Thor's remnants to manifest in her subconscious, affirming that he was an ideal as well as a person, allowing Rogue to inherit his power and position as she became the new Thor.^[20]

In What if Thor was the Herald of Galactus?, Galactus comes to devour Asgard. His herald kills Sif and Thor kills the herald in revenge. Galactus then announces that Asgard has fed him enough, and asks Thor to become his new herald in exchange for leaving Asgard alone. Thor agrees and directs Galactus to worlds with bloodthirsty races he deems worthy of destruction. Until the day Munnin, one of Odin's ravens, reaches him to inform him that Odin is dead and Asgard has fallen. Thor returns to Asgard, now under control of Loki and the frost giants, who reveal that Galactus' coming to Asgard was part of his plan to weaken Odin. After recovering Mjolnir, which he left behind, Thor guides Galactus to Asgard to feed in order to defeat Loki, since Asgard is an insult to what it once was. Thor frees Balder and the other imprisoned Asgardians, telling them to flee to Midgard. Thor defeats Loki, but continues being Galactus' herald: if he can be bold enough to decide which world is to be devoured, he is still worthy of wielding Mjolnir. On Earth, Balder becomes the premier super hero of Chicago.^[21]
