History

The daughter of the Asgardian god of thunder Thor, Thena escaped Asgard after the world-devourer Galactus destroyed her world. She lost track of Sylene, her cousin and childhood friend, during the evacuation, as Sylene hid, wanting to avenge her exiled father, the god of mischief Loki. Sometime later, her father and grandfather, Thor and Odin, began rebuilding Asgard, and meanwhile Thena was sent to Earth to restore Thunderstrike's powers, which he had lost. While traveling inside a meteor, she was attacked by Nova and Earth Sentry, who had mistaken her for an enemy. Arriving at Manhattan, the angry Thena battled the Avengers, which led to her hammer being shattered after she struck J2's helmet. Eventually, Katherine Power convinced her to relent after she stunned her with a power blast. Afterwards, she was given a new titanium hammer, crafted by the Avengers' staff, as an apology, and then she accompanied them on their rescue mission for Masterson, who had been kidnapped by Sylene. After the Avengers and Thena battled the rock troll Ulik and the robot Ultron Extreme, they mistakenly rescued a disguised Sylene, who captured and took them to her volcanic base. There, Sylene tossed Thena and J2 into a pool of mystic energy, intending to use them as ingredients in her spell to transform Earth into an Asgard replica. However, J2 recovered and destroyed the pool, and after rescuing Thena, reversed Sylene's spell. The other Avengers were freed, and Thena finally restored Masterson's powers. The newly-restored Thunderstrike defeated Sylene, and after Avengers member Mainframe crashed a satellite into the volcano, they all escaped.[2]

Powers

The Asgardian Gods all possess certain superhuman physical attributes:

  • Superhuman Strength: All Asgardians are superhumanly strong with the average Asgardian male God able to lift (press) about 30 tons under optimal conditions and the average Asgardian Goddess able to lift (press) about 25 tons under optimal conditions. Thena is far stronger than the average Asgardian female and can lift 45 tons under normal conditions.[3]
  • Superhuman Speed: All Asgardians have the potential of being able to run and move at speeds much greater than the finest human athlete.
  • Superhuman Stamina: The musculature of the Asgardian Gods produce considerably fewer fatigue toxins during physical activity than the muscles of human beings. An average Asgardian God can exert themselves at peak capacity for about 24 hours before fatigue impairs them.[3]
  • Superhumanly Dense Tissue: The skin, muscle, and bone tissues of the Asgardian Gods are about three times as dense as the same tissue of a human body, contributing to their superhuman strength and weight.
  • Superhuman Durability: The bodies of the Asgardian Gods are considerably more resistant to physical injury than the bodies of human beings. Asgardian Gods are capable of withstanding conventional injury including great impact forces, exposure to temperature and pressure extremes and falls from great heights without sustaining physical injury.[3]
  • Regenerative Healing Factor: Despite their natural durability, it is possible for any of the Asgardian Gods to sustain injury. However, if injured, their highly advanced metabolism enables them to recover with superhuman speed and efficiency. As with most of their other powers, the speed and extent of these powers varies from one Asgardian God to another and is greater for more powerful Asgardians.
  • Superhuman Longevity: The Asgardian Gods are extremely long-lived, but they are not truly immortal like the Olympian Gods. They age at a much slower rate, but they are not immune to the effects of aging. Their bodies are also immune to all known Earthly diseases and infection.[3]
  • Flight: Thena has the ability to fly.[3]
  • Weather Manipulation: Thena can summon violent thunderstorms.[3]
