History

Beginnings
Thor once believed himself to be a psychiatric nurse called Thorlief Golmen, until he suffered a nervous breakdown before his 30th birthday. He spent eighteen months institutionalized, during which time he claimed to have realized who he was and why he had been sent to Earth. He claimed to be Thor, Norse god of thunder, on a mission to save the planet. His political and social activism, as well as his own self-help books, attracted rebellious teenagers and conspiracy theorists. He spoke against America's military aggression against other world powers and the military-industrial complex. However, the truth behind these statements was questionable, as they came from individuals aligned with Loki or Loki himself.
Ultimates
When General Nick Fury contacted him about joining the Ultimates, Thor refused to work for the military-industrial complex that he detested. When the Hulk appeared in Manhattan, Thor refused to assist unless the President doubled the foreign aid budget. Not long after the Ultimates confronted the Hulk, the President relented and Thor appeared in time to save Captain America from Banner.
Following the battle, Thor became good friends with Tony Stark and Steve Rogers, pledging his support whenever lives were in danger. Soon thereafter, Thor was briefed on the Chitauri and sent to investigate a suspected Chitauri base in Micronesia. Finding the base abandoned and about to explode, they were saved by Iron Man's force field. Once a Chitauri fleet appeared in Arizona, Thor brought the survivors there, and alongside Iron Man provided air support against the Chitauri spacecraft until the Air Force arrived. Iron Man asked Thor to help him dispose of the Chitauri bomb that would obliterate the entire solar system, so Thor teleported it to the wastes of Nastrond, where its detonation caused only a small ripple in our space-time.
After the terrorist attack by the Brotherhood of Mutant Supremacy, Thor retrieved the dead with Iron Man . When Magneto attackd the Ultimates Thor threw Mjolnir at the Master of Magnetism, but Magneto managed to stop it an inch from his helmet and threw it back at Thor, sending him through a wall. Thor joined the Ultimates in attacking the X-Men later on, he fought Storm and Colossus.
Thor was with the Ultimates when they brought in Kraven the Hunter, although he refused Captain America's requests to catch Kraven or bring him back. He aided in reconstruction efforts in Bosnia when summoned following the Six's breakout. Thor defeated Electro during the climactic battle at the White House.
When the Kree attacked a Nevada base, Thor, Black Widow, Johnny Storm, and The Thing fought off the aliens. As he was idolised by Johnny Storm and Ben Grimm, he fraternised with them to the point of ordering Carol Danvers to prepare a Keg of Beer for after the battle.
Ultimates 2
Thor was discovered talking to an Asgardian only he could see, and resigned from the Ultimates, protesting its likely involvement in foreign affairs, and the team's assumption that it was he who outed Banner as the Hulk. When an Italian demonstration against the European Defence Initiative's super-soldier program turned violent, Thor intervened. The Ultimates learned from the EDI's head scientist, Gunnar Golmen, Thorlief's brother, that the Norwegian government had chosen the Norse God of Thunder, Thor, as their national image and modeled a super soldier after him. They created a power-belt in the image of Thor's that granted the wearer unbelievable strength, durability and the power of flight. Their biggest success was the electric power battery in the form of Thor's hammer Mjolnir, which could ionize the environment, control the weather and allow the user to teleport. Gunnar alleged that Thor had stolen the technology that gave him his powers, and they tracked him to Norway to take him into custody. Thor told them that Gunnar was actually Loki, but the Ultimates & EUI soldiers attacked him anyway. He shrugged off all their attacks, although his hair was burned off. It wasn't until Quicksilver managed to jump 50 feet into the air at Thor, and grab his belt, that brought Thor to the ground. He was placed in Bruce Banner's cell in the Triskelion, where a vision of Gunnar/Loki taunted him about the existence of a traitor within the Ultimates' ranks.
He remained there until the invasion of America, at which time a bright light shined on him, and Thor vanished from his cell. Thor appeared standing beneath Loki, his hair restored, and wielding his belt and Mjolnir once more, challenging Loki to battle. During this battle he summoned an army of Asgardian warriors, which battled Loki's monster army and, together with the Ultimates he defeated Loki, who was either killed or sent to Odin for punishment.
Ultimate Power
Thor, alongside Nick Fury and the rest of the new Ultimates battled the Squadron Supreme when they destroyed the roof of the Baxter Building. After the battle Thor used his hammer to teleport the helicarrier with the team to the Supremeverse. There he engaged Hyperion in combat, but was defeated by the former's superior speed. However, Thor gained the upper hand against Hyperion felling him with a huge bolt of lightning then severely beating him with Mjolnir. He also knocked out Zarda as she attempts to stop him beating Hyperion.[1]
Ultimatum
Before Ultimatum started by Magneto, Thor was comfortable in the Ultimates new Headquarters, which was in Tony Stark's penthouse. Thor became romantically involved with the newly goddess Valkyrie, to which he loved dearly and battled along side her against Magneto and his brotherhood. During battle practice, a huge wave covered the mansion. Thor survived, but Valkyrie was thrown all the way to Liberty island, where Thor found her dead. Thor, who loved her too much, traveled to Hel. There he found both Valkyrie and Captian America, and sacrificed himself to revive her and Captian America. Thor rests in Vallhalla
Powers and Abilities
Powers
Thor possesses a variety of superhuman attributes. How much of his powers are due to his equipment and how much is due to his natural physiology is unclear. Despite being overpowered physically a few times, Thor is still considered one of the strongest beings in the ultimate universe due to the many other powers he has.
Superhuman Strength: Thor possesses vast superhuman strength, the full limits of which aren't known. However, he is capable of lifting well in excess of 100 tons [2].
Superhuman Stamina: Thor's musculature produces considerably less fatigue toxins during physical activity than the musculature of an ordinary human. Much like his strength, the limits of his physical stamina are unknown. He can exert himself at peak capacity for at least 24 hours before fatigue begins to impair him.
Superhuman Durability: The tissues of Thor's body are much harder and more resistant to injury than those of an ordinary human. As a result, he can withstand great impact forces, exposure to extremes of both temperature and pressure, falls from great heights, and powerful energy blasts without sustaining injury. Despite this his hair can be damaged just the same as a normal persons, when fighting the ultimates he is lite on fire and he is unharmed but his hair and beard are burned off.
Abilities
Thor is a capable fighter, and appears to have a better than average knowledge of world politics.Strength level
Class100+; Thor is one of the physically mightiest beings on the ultimate universe's earth. He can lift tremendous weights. While the exact amount of weight he can lift isn't known he can easily lift 100 tons.Weaknesses
Currently, nearly all of Thor's powers come from his equipment. If his belt is removed he cannot use Mjolnir and loses all superhuman abilities, although this could be a reference to the original Norse Mythlogy where Thor required a magical belt to lift Mjolnir, Thor may also have the same weakness as Loki restriction placed on him by Odin.

Notes
- Unlike the 616 Universe Thor, his godhood was deliberately kept in doubt, with contradictory clues that he was both who he claimed and that he was simply a powerful lunatic spread throughout his appearances. In Ultimates vol.2 #13 he is confirmed to be a god.
