Every mirthful book could tell you thatThoris the son of Odin and the Earth goddess Gaea , make him a godly being as a result . He is regarded as one of the mighty Avengers , and well one of the most powerful beings inMarvel Comics . This ranking mean he ’s looked at as a one - man cavalry for many battle , when less powerful deadly heroes hand their limits . So he should be immortal … right ? Well , the answer is n’t so clear stinger .
Thor has failed , been horrifically injured , and even stared down the mouth of death . To look feats like those , you have to be either insanely sinewy likeThanos … or be very patient , and just wait one thousand of years until all other cosmic gods and beings have died . So while nottrulyimmortal , Thor , like most Asgardians , has a very foresightful lifespan ( that originally required the consumption ofthe Apples of Idunn ) . alas for the Asgardians , they also understand they will face a ecstasy called Ragnarok in which many of them will indeed die – admit Thor himself .
Some are probably wonder : how do you explainThor ’s reverent biota ? The answer can be found in his parentage . consort to the comic , Odin the king of Asgard desired a Word whose power would stand out that of normal Asgardians . He got exactly that by coupling with the Earth Goddess named Gaea . As a kid of both Asgard and Earth , Thor ’s strength is much greater on Earth than any other Asgardian ( who have denser flesh than humans ) . Combine that with Elder God genetic science from his mother , and you have a mighty recipe . Nevertheless , in Marvel Comics , it is clean Thor can still face end .
InThor # 380 ( part of the last chronicle by creative person / author Walt Simonson ) Thor face up a massiveMidgard Serpent known as Jormungandduring the upshot of Ragnarok . In the end , despite being weakened by a jinx throw on him by his sister Hela , Thor triumphs over the World Serpent and appears to vanish just as the legend demanded of him . fortuitously for the Odinson , this apocalyptic upshot that was supposed to kill him and the rest of the Asgardians was actually the workplace ofThose Who Sit Above in Shadow(beings that benefit their power from ritually mangle and animate Asgard ) .
Thor manages to break this Hz when he destroys these being , thus saving himself and Asgard from their ultimate dying . So when Thor defeats the aforesaid Serpent , he does n’t die . rather , he enter a void of non - universe … where he remains until his human alter - ego back on Earth touches Mjolnir , summoning him once more . Not precisely destruction , but not the sort of life Asgardians are used to , either .
Another tightlipped call for Thor can be seen in theFear Itselfevent from 2011 , with Thor ’s uncle the God of Fear manifesting as the World Serpent after C of quiescence . The Serpent make its manner to Oklahoma where Asgardians have get along to live as refugees after Ragnarok , having replanted the famous World Tree that yield them their seniority . To foreclose Thor ’s uncle from consuming the Tree , Thor takes on the god in combat , wins , and once again ' die ' as a result . Nevertheless , this heroic one - on - one struggle was n’t enough to keep the God of Thunder down . Though all memory of him is erased after defend the World Serpent , Loki and Silver Surfer cope to deliver Thor from limbo and bring him back from death yet again .
So as far as Thor dying for good ( or as ' for good ' as Marvel Comics will take into account him to ) , the occasions are rare … but they do live . What seems to break off him from croak forever has to do with some kind of mythological loophole that de - powers the God of Thunder , or pulls him from dimension less trip , in some sort of science - fabrication miracle . But in 2018 , Marvel Comics teased devotee with another death . Just not the one they would typically have a bun in the oven , with death promised in the pageboy ofDeath of the Mighty Thor .
In Jason Aaron and Russell Dauterman’sThe Mighty Thorseries – in which Jane Foster holds Thor ’s power hammer and rubric for some metre – Jane take on two different enemies . On the human side , she is battling concluding cancer . On the Asgardian side , she is the only hope of saving innovation from the Mangog . She have the same power as the Odinson , but being separate from it now means claim one whole tone nigher to demise ( since its ' purge of toxins ' renders her chemotherapy void ) . When affair get terrible enough , Jane realizes that if she ever becomes the Mighty Thor again , transforming back will lead to certain demise . And in a Ragnarok of her own waggle war against the Mangog , that is on the button how thing played out .
Jane ’s death saw her delight to Asgard , the same place that all the spirits of the bang-up warrior receive rest and leisure time . So Thorcancertainly die out … just so long as it is n’t the Thor that everybody ( include Norse mythology ) assumes . Which is probably why Marvel ’s writer have always made sure to give him an out . Les things get evenmorecomplicated .
