As a founding member of the once-great Avengers, I say to thee, I have fought alongside Janet van Dyne in many a battle. Battles that have saved this world from destruction. It was my honor to call her teammate and friend. The halls of Asgard share your grief today, and they shall sing praise and rejoice that such a warrior ever walked this earth. The gates of Valhalla are richer today.

--Thor Odinson (Earth-616)

Bad days are coming. We have seen worse. What they did to Bill was a message to all of us -- a threat. This menace is very real. It is very powerful. And it is traveling a very long way to destroy us all. We will raise our defenses. We will fight them to the last. And we will defend those that cannot defend themselves. ... Today we fight, brothers and sisters. Today we stand up and never, ever relent. Brothers and sisters -- prepare yourselves. Today we go to WAR.

--Thor Odinson (Earth-616)

Bill. Stand down, brother. It's okay. I'm here.

--Thor Odinson (Earth-616)

Villain. Yield. I will not order you again.

I will avenge thee, fair Janet.

--Thor Odinson (Earth-616)

Methinks he hath a grim and troubled mien!

--Thor Odinson (Earth-616)

Though thou be truly pure of heart – in thine innocence, thou art fair misguided! The true guru thou seekest doth lie within thyselves! Heed you now these words: 'Tis not by dropping out – but by plunging in – into the maelstrom of life itself – that thou shalt find thy wisdom! There be causes to espouse!! There be battles to be won! There be glory and grandeur all about thee – if thou wilt but see! Aye, there will be time enow for thee to disavow thy heritage – yea, thou mayest drop out fore'er – once Hela herself hath come for thee! But, so long as life endures – thou must live it to the full! Else, thou be unworthy of the title – Man!

--Thor Odinson (Earth-616)

None but Thor remain to stop thee... and stop thee I shall... or I be not Son of Odin!

Time! The one commodity I never had enough of! The one luxury I was always denied! Now, at last, I can pause... to ponder the paradox of my life!

From Creation's Dawn to Ragnarok's last Gleaming, Karkas, evil hath e'er mistaken forbearance for weakness... peaceful intent for Cowardice.

--Thor Odinson (Earth-616)

'Tis with yon Mammoth Space God that Thor must deal... not with thee, who be merely his Creation.

--Thor Odinson (Earth-616)

All-Father Odin would ne'er have bowed in abject Obedience to thy fellow Celestials as thine Image doth Portray! This be Trickery most Foul!

--Thor Odinson (Earth-616)

Do what thou wilt, Eye of Odin!

--Thor Odinson (Earth-616)

This day Kamo Tharnn, we have recovered a lost friend and made a new friend of an erstwhile foe. It has been indeed a noble and meritorious venture.

--Thor Odinson (Earth-616)

I thank thee. But were I to cut my hair, my helmet would fall off.

--Thor Odinson (Earth-616)

No grandfather! You shall not! Do you think that your fate rests within yourself? That I have come all this way to discover a dotard seeking Valhalla through deception? You have called upon the gods of the icy north and they have answered you! Now, your life...is mine!

--Thor Odinson (Earth-616)

Hear me, you elements! Hear me, storms! Rise up in your wrath! A warrior hath died this day and you shall carry him to his destiny! No longer Eilif the Lost, but Eilif the Dragonslayer! Strike now! And fire this holy mound!

--Thor Odinson (Earth-616)

For mine is the swiftness of the very lightning itself! And the fury of the elements is as nothing to the fury of Thor this day! Flee, death! Flee and lick thy wounds, you who are not fit to utter my father's name! And know that Thor shall not be far behind!

--Thor Odinson (Earth-616)

Look you, Loki, to the sky! For there soars the hammer of Thor and by royal Odin's decree, it must return to my hand. Nothing may bar its way! Not even the head of Loki!

--Thor Odinson (Earth-616)

Ribbit!! Ribbit!!

--Thor Odinson (Earth-616)

Still, there is another perhaps more worthy of the throne than I. One whose bravery is the equal of Thor's, one whose nobility surpasses my own. I speak of none other than Balder the Brave! Balder, whose honor is beyond reproach! Balder, whose sense of justice matches that of Odin himself! Surely, the shining Balder would be a ruler worthy of the Golden Realm.

--Thor Odinson (Earth-616)

Come, bold assassins! You shall find the son of Odin waiting for you in the dark.

--Thor Odinson (Earth-616)

My sire was ruler of the gods, rash Thurse! Odin was my father and the thunder and lightning are by birthright! They speak my name in whispers of the nurseries of thine icy home!

--Thor Odinson (Earth-616)

But I have many names, serpent, even as you. Vingthor the Hurler, Longbeard's Son, have I been called. Hrodr's foeman, too. In Tyr's ancestral home, wisest Hymir knew my name as Veur; unhappy Hrungnir's playmate some have called me. East of Elvigar in Gianthome they whisper Hloriddi's name. My father called me son. My mother called me darling. And beneath the vaults of Heaven, I am Thor Odinson, the Thunderer, Jormungand's Fear!

--Thor Odinson (Earth-616)

You said it yourself, Jormungand! The trouble with godhood is that it robs you of your finer judgment! And that is why we will never be the same. You are a mighty fighter, but in the end, you are only a selfish creature while heroes...heroes have an infinite capacity for stupidity! Thus are legends born!

--Thor Odinson (Earth-616)

We must return to the real world where lies my broken body and your unmoving shell! And only one of us will emerge from this mystic realm alive! To the strongest belongs the victory!

--Thor Odinson (Earth-616)

Hear me, Space God! This Planet is under the Protection of Thor, God of Thunder and Prince of Asgard! I order thee to leave this World - and spare its People!

--Thor Odinson (Earth-616)

Nothing can compare with the limitless Power of the Celestials!

--Thor Odinson (Earth-616)

I shall destroy yon Brain, e'en if I must rip it apart with my bare Hands and Teeth!

--Thor Odinson (Earth-616)

When you first spoke to me about your problems, I had doubts...about you. They were quickly erased...when you lifted Mjolnir...for only a man or god worthy -- pure of heart and noble of mind -- could have done so! ... A sacred bond unites all those who have e'er been privileged to wield Mjolnir! A bond which stretches far into infinity! I salute you, Captain!

--Thor Odinson (Earth-616)

Annihilus must fall! And fall he shall -- ! So swears the God of Thunder!

--Thor Odinson (Earth-616)

So be it! Thou hast forced me to unleash the most terrifying Asgardian power of all! A power which once hurled back Galactus, the World-eater, and e'en gave pause to an almighty Celestial! I must call forth the god-force which flows within my veins -- and unite it with the irresistible power of mine enchanted Uru mallet! And the God of Thunder shall become one with the hammer supreme! Let the Juggernaut FALL!

--Thor Odinson (Earth-616)

I, Thor, god of thunder, do swear to serve and to guard you till time's end -- so long as you do not again set foot on Earth, or dispatch your minions there!

--Thor Odinson (Earth-616)

For I am lord of the winds...and the storm! Thunder and lightning are my hunting dogs...the rain is my whip...and when I must, I ride a great and terrible steed...the earthquake! Nothing mortal can stand before it.

--Thor Odinson (Earth-616)

No more chains! You are all free! Together we can vanquish the Trolls and restore Asgard! Who is with me?! Uh, wait...the fight is this way...

--Thor Odinson (Earth-616)

I wouldn't change a thing.

--Thor Odinson (Earth-616)

I say as long as two Asgardian brothers stand together, Asgard stands too.

--Thor Odinson (Earth-616)

Storms weather rock, given long enough...and just as surely, no matter how long it takes, my force of will shall always summon the might of Mjolnir.

--Thor Odinson (Earth-616)

Thou didst summon the Son of Odin -- immortal of great Asgard! Speak thy piece and let all in attendance know what thou dost require of -- Thor, God of Thunder!

--Thor Odinson (Earth-616)

N-nay! This change -- shouldn't happen -- not here in Asgard! Must...protect Olson...

--Thor Odinson (Earth-616)

At last, the battle of all battles doth loom o'er us all! And when the courage of Thor doth confront the mad vision of yon lunatic -- THERE WILL COME A RECKONING!''

--Thor Odinson (Earth-616)

Thou were once an enemy of Malekith, Kurse! Mayhap a fierce thrashing will sever the treacherous elf's sorcerous control of thee!

--Thor Odinson (Earth-616)

'Tis the saddest of all occasions which draws us together. The greatest of the great -- the most splendid of the splendid - hath been taken from us. Thus do we gather in respect for Odin. His word was law. His judgment sound. His honor unequaled. Without him, we are less than we were. As his son -- we begin these days of mourning and observance.

--Thor Odinson (Earth-616)

With thy countenance, I'll serve thee all with pride and honor -- as monarch!

--Thor Odinson (Earth-616)

Thou mayest look like Skurge. Thou mayest sound like Skurge. Thou mayest e'en wield his weapon. 'Tis clear, though -- thou art not Skurge!

--Thor Odinson (Earth-616)

Living as a mortal -- abiding by the civilized laws of Midgard -- hath tamed me! Here -- and fore'ermore -- does that affliction end!

--Thor Odinson (Earth-616)

Clearly, thou has heard of the Bloodaxe of Skurge the Executioner, Desak! Fitting, sure -- for it will be the death of thee!

--Thor Odinson (Earth-616)

Let the eyes of Midgard turn fore'er upward to a new dawn! Let their vision be fore'er influenced -- graced -- and filled with aspiration -- by the glory and eternal richness of Asgard!

--Thor Odinson (Earth-616)

We came in peace, Spider-Man, yet thine own kind would annihilate millions to do away with us. And thou darest claim thou needst no guidance?

--Thor Odinson (Earth-616)

I cannot help but wonder...if this nameless mortal, in his death, has set into motion events that will affect all that which is yet to come?

--Thor Odinson (Earth-616)

It's proof that Earth must change. Man must change. Those who caused this think I went too far, when in reality -- I did not go far enough.

--Thor Odinson (Earth-616)

a... a... a... Avengers... assemble...

--Thor Odinson (Earth-616)

For us, there is no afterlife. In death, we cease to be.

--Thor Odinson (Earth-616)

Once we were children. Balder, Loki, Vidar and I. Sif would play with us. Loki is my brother and...I once loved even his mischievous nature. It seems now he is doomed to it.

--Thor Odinson (Earth-616)

Only death can save us now...and I will bring it. Ragnarok shall be by my hand!

--Thor Odinson (Earth-616)

Then my father and brethren are doubtless prisoners! Let them know that there shall be war unto death once more! So swears Thor!

--Thor Odinson (Earth-616)

I am THOR! Son of Odin, god of thunder, who commands the lightning and the storm! I am THOR! And I...wish...to live. To live...and breathe...and fight...again.

--Thor Odinson (Earth-616)

Sif. Heimdall. Balder. Fandral. Volstagg. Can your souls hear me? Do my words find you, in the hearts of mortals? If they do, then hear this vow. I shall find you, though I comb the four corners of the earth in my quest. I shall find you.

--Thor Odinson (Earth-616)

You defiled my body. Desecrated my trust. Violated everything that I am. Is this how you define friendship? Is it? IS IT?

--Thor Odinson (Earth-616)

I do not know if I can do this, Blake. I do not know if I can survive doing this. I do not know the consequences, whatever and whoever may be summoned forth...whether I will live or die in the effort. I only know that I must try. If I should fall, find Sif. Tell her I love her. Tell her...tell her...that I fell loving her above all risk, all danger, all consequence. Tell her goodbye.

--Thor Odinson (Earth-616)

Thor is the strongest one there is.

--Thor Odinson (Earth-616)

Stupid Spider-Thing. You like old things so much? Take...Mjlo...Mljoni...Mlenn...Odin's hammer. Now Thor's. It very old.

--Thor Odinson (Earth-616)

Conversations with Thor Odinson (Earth-616)Edit

Thor

I have faithfully served! I have proved myself worthy, even unto you! I have done what no other could!

Odin

Thor, you heed your duty to Asgard but will not be tutored by it. You grow headstrong and boastful. I indulged that you might learn! ... You have sought conflict where there was none!

Thor

For Asgard! Tell me, father! Whereof have I lacked?!

Odin

Judgment and humility! And by my beard, Thor -- You will learn it! I banish you to Midgard, to reside these many years within a mortal shell, that you will be humbled, that you may persevere. That through his travails you shall learn the true measure of endurance.

What needs to be done, brother. If you would do it, I should too -- no matter what it costs me.

— Journey into Mystery #623

Thor

Give, cur! Fall to thy betters!

Y Ddraig Goch

I...will...not...fall...

— Thor: Heaven & Earth #4

Tutinax

It doesn't seem fair, does it, thunder god...not only am I many times more powerful than you...not only are my naked arms more than a match for yours clutching your pitiful mallet...but you can't even look at me without a disabling shudder of fear. I was made that way...bred so that the mere sight of me can cripple armies...rendering them helpless while I rip them into tatters.

Thor

No...don't fear you...Asgardians...never fear...

Tutinax

Maybe not. But don't tell me Asgardians never die. Because I'm about to prove it...

— Thor: The Deviants Saga #2

Thor

Get thee hence, fair Sif! For, though thy heart is gallantry itself... still art thou merely a woman!

Sif

I say thee nay, God of Thunder! Though my form be female, I do fight for Asgard... and if need be, so shall I die!

— Thor #139

Super-Skrull

How did this happen? What did I do that was wrong?

Thor

Thou didst attack the God of Thunder!

— Thor #142

Thor

Mangog! I have found thee, at last!

Mangog

Nay, Son of Odin... 'tis I who have found thee! And now... prepare to die!

— Thor #156

Princess Python

You fool! I could have given you -- my heart!

Thor

But to what avail -- if thy soul be a serpent's?

— Thor #173

Thor

My father farewell. We have fought the good fight! The battle hath ended

Odin

As thou wert fearless in life...so art thou still--in death. Thou wert a god to the end.

— Thor #190

Mephisto

Look the the south, noble Asgardian, look to the south AND SEE YOUR DOOM!

Thor

Not all the hordes of Hell -- nor thee or any demi-god -- can drag me to my doom -- for Doom is Thor's to Give!

— Thor #205

Odin

Thy mallet Mjolnir -- Make use of it!

Thor

Odin Commands. His son obeys!

— Thor #215

Lady Sif

Milord, we feared for thy life! When I saw these overwhelm thee, I thought -- !

{Thor

'Twould take more than these to defeat me, milady! Thou didst fear for naught!

Hercules

These are odds for a God! -- No paltry group of Trolls, but a full army! Ah, it makes the blood sing, Asgardian! It makes a man feel Alive!

Thor

It can also make a man dead, Olympian. Let these demons get close enough and they'll slit thy throat as soon as look at thee!

Hercules

I'd like to see them try Blondhair -- Ah, I'd like to see them TRY!

Thor

"Tis a SIN for Asgardian to raise sword against Asgardians -- A SIN! May thy soul rot forever, Loki! May thy eyes burn -- Thy flesh rot -- that thou should bring me to THIS!

Brother mine, you are a sentimentalist, 'Tis a flaw you may well find fatal!

Thor Odinson

By Heimdall's eyes! 'Tis Fandral the Dashing, Hogun the Grim, and the voluminous Volstagg! Sooth, their talent for plunging headlong into disaster never ceases to amaze me! How did they manage to entangle themselves in such a sorry situation this time?
