POWERS
         Since Thor is a God, he doesn't come from Earth, he comes from Asgard. Thor's powers include, resistance to physical injury almost to the point of invulnerability, lively senses which allow him to track objects that move faster than the speed of light, and hear screams from the other side of the world. As being a God of Asgard he can travel through time. His stamina is phenomenal, to the point he can fight the Frost Army for NINE MONTHS straight, without a break or needing nourishment. Thor also has superhuman agility, speed and reflexes which aid him during fighting. He is also excellent in hand to hand combat, and like Wonder Women has magical items that help him during battles. He has the belt of strength, and his signature weapon, the hammer. The belt doubles his strength and endurance, and the hammer controls his magical powers- weather; energy projection and absorption; matter manipulation; flight; dimensional travel and his offensives.
