Let´s wikiattack!

Thor (from Old Norse Þórr) is a hammer-wielding god associated with thunder, lightning, storms, oak trees, strength, destruction, fertility, healing, and the protection of mankind. The cognate deity in wider Germanic mythology was known in Old English as Þunor and in Old High German Donar, from a Common Germanic *Þunraz "thunder".

Ultimately stemming from Proto-Indo-European religion, Thor is a prominently mentioned god throughout the recorded history of the Germanic peoples, from the Roman occupation of regions of Germania, to the tribal expansions of the Migration Period, to his extreme popularity during the Viking Age, where, in the face of the process of the Christianization of Scandinavia, emblems of his hammer, Mjöllnir, were worn in defiance and Norse pagans personal names containing the name of the god bear witness to his flourishing popularity. After the Christianization of Scandinavia and into the modern period, Thor continued to be acknowledged in rural folklore throughout Germanic regions. Thor is frequently referenced in place names, the day of the week Thursday ("Thor's day") bears his name, and names stemming from the pagan period containing his own continue to be used today.

In Norse mythology, largely recorded in Iceland from traditional material stemming from Scandinavia, numerous tales and information about Thor is provided. In these sources, Thor bears at least fourteen names, is the husband of the golden-haired goddess Sif, is the lover of the jötunn Járnsaxa, and is described as fierce-eyed, red-haired and red-bearded. With Sif, Thor fathered the goddess (and possible valkyrie) Þrúðr; with Járnsaxa, he fathered Magni; with a mother whose name is not recorded, he fathered Móði, and he is the stepfather of the god Ullr. The same sources list Thor as the son of the god Odin and the personified earth, Fjörgyn, and by way of Odin, Thor has numerous brothers. Thor has two servants, Þjálfi and Röskva, rides in a chariot led by two goats, Tanngrisnir and Tanngnjóstr (that he eats and resurrects), and is ascribed three dwellings (Bilskirnir, Þrúðheimr, and Þrúðvangr). Thor wields the mountain-crushing hammer, Mjöllnir, wears the belt Megingjörð and the iron gloves Járngreipr, and owns the staff Gríðarvölr. Thor's exploits, including his relentless slaughter of his foes and fierce battles with the monstrous serpent Jörmungandr—and their foretold mutual deaths during the events of Ragnarök—are recorded throughout sources for Norse mythology.

Marvel's Thor had the Crusader as his nemesis, and also based on your comment about Christianization of Scandinavia, I think it was the most appropriate nemesis for him. Thor (Baal) had the same nemesis in the Old Testament.  1 Kings 18 when Elijah Kills the Prophets of Baal Hadad (the original storm god).

en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Crusader…
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hadad
www.biblegateway.com/passage/?…

In Akkadian, Adad is also known as Rammanu ("Thunderer") cognate with Aramaic  Ramman and Hebrew  Rimmon, which was a byname of Hadad.  Hadad was equated with the Greek  god Zeus ; the Roman  god Jupiter , as Jupiter Dolichenus ; the Indo-European Nasite Hittite  storm-god Teshub ; the Egyptian  god Amun ; the Rigvedic  god IndraHaddad (Akkadian ) or Iškur (Sumerian ) was the storm and rain god  in the Northwest Semitic  and ancient Mesopotamian religions . He was attested in Ebla  as "Hadda" in c. 2500 BCE

The Scandinavian gods and goddesses originated from Mesopotamia. Well all gods and goddesses do. The oldest civilization was the Sumerians/Egyptians at 3750 B.C. Scandinavian gods/goddesses didn't become popular until the prose Edda, written by compiled, by the Icelandic scholar, lawspeaker  and historian Snorri Sturluson  around the year 1220.

Pretty cool. But if you wanted to go with the Norse Mythological Thor, his hair is red. Only in the Marvel comic's version of Thor his hair is blond.

WOW Very good depiction of Asator. I admit I can never settle on how the hammer should look, as each artist takes creative liberties. At least you show it as having a shortened haft which makes the hammer unbalanced. Would have liked to see a larger beard, maybe a dark shade of red for the hair too, but truth be told your image is great, really well made like all of your work
