Thor

Thor's first journey introduced readers to Donald Blake, a physician. Blake comes into an invading army from an alien race, the Stone Men, while on vacation in Norway. When the shocked doctor seeks sanctuary in a dank cave, he discovers a cane and knocks it onto the walls, only to discover that he has been transformed significantly. Blake turns into Thor, the thunder god, and the cane becomes the magical hammer Mjolnir.

According to the writing on the hammer, "Whoever carries this hammer shall acquire Thor's strength." As a result, Blake has incredible strength and the ability to fly like Thor. Mjolnir returned miraculously to him after being tossed. However, if it stayed out of Thor's hands for more than a minute, Thor would return to his civilian persona as Blake.

Blake moved to New York and established a business with a beautiful nurse called Jane Foster. He fell in love with her immediately. She remained uninformed of Blake's alter persona for a long time, however; because according to Odin, the king of Gods (who is also Thor’s father), Blake is not allowed to disclose his identity. Meanwhile, Loki, the deity of mischief, was Thor's wicked half-brother and the series’ most prominent recurrent antagonist.
