Debuting in the Silver Age of Comic Books, the character first appeared in Journey into Mystery #83 (August 1962) and was created by penciller-plotter Jack Kirby, editor-plotter Stan Lee, and scripter Larry Lieber. He has starred in several ongoing series and limited series, and is a founding member of the superhero team the Avengers, appearing in each volume of that series. The character has also appeared in associated Marvel merchandise including animated television series, movies, video games, clothing, toys and trading cards.

Iago PUC's ideas

 * A version of Thor appears in Ultimate Marvel: Earth-2 and its spin-off comic book series Valkyrie: An Earth-Two Story.
 * Thor (based on his Ultimate Marvel: Earth-2 counterpart) is a main character in Marvel: All New, All Different Chronicles, voiced by Travis Willingham.
 * Thor is a supporting character in Marvel's Spider-Man: Webbed Champion, voiced by Travis Willingham. He first makes a silent cameo in "The Parker Errand", standing with the Avengers as Captain America announces that he and the Avengers declare J. Jonah Jameson (who was at the time standing trial for his involvement with Venom and Scorpion's rampage in "On the Tiger's Claws") guilty after Spider-Man, Mockingbird and She-Hulk expose Jameson for his role in Richard and Mary Parker's murder by the hands of the Red Skull. Thor later appears alongside the Avengers in "Seeds of Life", where he accompanies the Avengers on the hunt for Red Skull and his Hydra forces in his island, before the Avengers are ambushed by Madame Masque. Thor and the rest of the Avengers continue battling the villains, and later watch as Arsenal obliterates Madame Masque's ship and kills Red Skull. Thor is later with the Avengers in New York congratulating Spider-Man and his new team of the Champions for their heroic success. Later in "Legendary Universes, Part 6: Ultimate Alliance", Thor assists Spider-Man, Captain America and Iron Man on battling the Regent, although they are overpowered once the Regent absorbs the power of Captain Ultra's armor. Thor and the Avengers soon watch amazed as Spider-Man conjures Ring Portals to summon his allies from the parallel earths (the Jedi Alliance, the Freedom Fighters, the Autobots, and the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles) to help battle the Regent's army.
 * He is also in the show's follow-up TV special film A Marvel Christmas Carol, but with no dialogues.
