Thor His place here is down to JMS' run on the Thor series. JMS gave me a new look at Thor's character, namely giving him epic fantasy, engrossing adventures whilst also humanising the God of Thunder. This lead me to read more into the world of Thor. His place in mythology interested me further as I have always had a soft spot for ancient myths and legends. Thor's nobility, honour and humility make for excellent characteristics and is the juxtaposition and link between the ancient mythologies in human history and the modern day comic book superhero stories. This is what makes Thor an engrossing character for writers and fans alike.
