Thor – Norse Mythology - Thor was the God of Thunder and Lightning in Norse Mythology. Thor was also a god associated with storms, oak trees, strength and the protection of mankind. Thor was the son of Odin and the giantess Jörd. The day of the week Thursday ("Thor's day") bears his name. He is generally described as fierce-eyed, red-haired and red-bearded. Thor has the power to create lightning. Thor wields the mountain-crushing hammer Mjolnir, which when thrown at a target, returns magically to the owner. To wield Mjolnir, Thor wears the belt Megingjord, which boosts the wearer's strength and a pair of special iron gloves, Járngreipr, to lift the hammer. Mjolnir is also his main weapon when fighting giants. Thor was the husband of the golden-haired goddess Sif and had three children Magni, Modi and Thrud.

You forgot that he was the protector of newborn babies and young brides. Then again, almost everyone does.

Well, Thor (as every Aesir) was a god of war besides being the lord of thunder. He was easy to anger but also the most generous among the gods, often aiding those who prayed to him but couldn't bring an offering

I have to disagree there, Thor seems quite likelable from the myths that survive

But he does occassionally do a good Mr Angry
