Donar Odinson, also known as Thor, was one of the Old Gods and son of Odin.
Background
Donar, also known as Thor, was the son of Odin and God of Thunder in Norse Mythology. Long blonde hair, a ginger beard and muscles for days, the strongman is the star attraction at Grimnir’s Regius Theatre in 1934.
Powers & Abilities
As said in Nordic mythology, Donar was the strongest of all of the Aesir - in the television series, he is shown to have an enormous physical strength far superior to that of any human being, lifting great amounts of weight, and able to break objects with his bare hands. It seems his strength is related to the amount of worship he receives - indeed, after gaining a new fame as an Olympic sportsman, Donar is able to break in two the very powerful spear of Odin, Gungnir.
As the god of thunder and lightning, Donar can manipulate the weather to create storms - in Donar the Great, his anger at his father causes rain and thunder.
