Character biography

Beginnings

Ultimate Thor is referred to as once being a psychiatric nurse called Thorlief Golmen, until he suffered a nervous breakdown before his 30th birthday. He spent 18 months institutionalized, during which time he claims to have realized who he is and why he has been sent to Earth. He claimed to be Thor, Norse god of thunder, on a mission to save the planet. His political and social activism, as well as his own self-help books, attracted rebellious teenagers and conspiracy theorists. He has spoken against America's military aggression against other world powers and the military-industrial complex. However, the truth behind these statements is questionable, as they came from characters aligned with or later revealed to be Loki, a reality-changing Norse god.

Ultimates

When General Nick Fury contacted him about joining the Ultimates, Thor refused to work for the military-industrial complex that he detests. When the Hulk appeared in Manhattan, Thor refused to assist unless the President doubled the foreign aid budget. Not long after the Ultimates confronted the Hulk, the President relented and Thor appeared in time to save Captain America from Banner, although he was subsequently defeated. Following the battle, Thor became good friends with Tony Stark and Steve Rogers, pledging his support whenever lives are in danger. Soon thereafter, Thor was briefed on the Chitauri and sent to investigate a suspected Chitauri base in Micronesia. Finding the base abandoned and about to explode, they were saved by Iron Man's force field. Once a Chitauri fleet appears in Arizona, Thor brings the survivors there, and alongside Iron Man provided air support against the Chitauri spacecraft until the Air Force arrived. Iron Man asked Thor to help him dispose of the Chitauri bomb that would obliterate the entire solar system, so Thor teleported it to the wastes of Nastrond, where its detonation caused only a small ripple in our space-time.

Ultimate Fantastic Four

In Ultimate Fantastic Four #25, Reed Richards reveals he has created infant hard light versions of Captain America, Iron Man, and even Thor. It is also revealed that Thor was believed to be the most powerful superhuman on the planet, until Namor demonstrates his own strength. Also in the Frightful storyline it is revealed that Dr Doom may be more powerful than Thor but this is possibly due to Dr Doom's mastery of Atlantean Magic as his natural powers revealed so far don't seem to be in the same league as Thor's.

Ultimates 2

Thor is discovered talking to an Asgardian only he can see, and resigns from the Ultimates, protesting its likely involvement in foreign affairs, and the team's assumption that it was he who outed Banner as the Hulk. When an Italian demonstration against the European Defence Initiative's super-soldier program turned violent, Thor intervened. The Ultimates learned from the EDI's head scientist, Gunnar Golmen, Thorlief's brother, that the Norwegian government had chosen the Norse God of Thunder, Thor, as their national image and modeled a super soldier after him. They created a power-belt in the image of Thor's that granted the wearer unbelievable strength, durability and the power of flight. Their biggest success was the electric power battery in the form of Thor's hammer Mjolnir, which can ionize the environment, control the weather and allow the user to teleport. Gunnar alleged that Thor had stolen the technology that gives him his powers, and they tracked him to Norway to take him into custody. Thor told them that Gunnar was actually Loki, but the Ultimates & EUI soldiers attacked him anyway. He shrugged off all their attacks, although his hair was burned off. It wasn't until Quicksilver managed to jump 50 feet into the air at Thor, and grab his belt, that brought Thor to the ground. He was placed in Bruce Banner's cell in the Triskelion, where a vision of Gunnar/Loki taunted him about the existence of a traitor within the Ultimates' ranks. He remains there until the invasion of America, at which time a bright light shines on him, and Thor vanishes from his cell. Most recently, Thor appears standing beneath Loki, his hair restored, and wielding his belt and Mjolnir once more, challenging Loki to battle. During this battle he summons an army of Asgardian warriors, which battle Loki's monster army and, together with the Ultimates he defeats Loki, who is either killed or sent to Odin for punishment.

Ultimate Power

Thor appears alongside the rest of the new Ultimates alongside Nick Fury arriving to battle the Squadron Supreme when they destroy the roof of the Baxter Building. After the battle Thor used his hammer to teleport the helicarrier with the team to the Supremeverse. There he engages Hyperion in combat, but is defeated by the former's superior speed. However in Ultimate Power #7 Thor gains the upper hand against Hyperion felling him with a huge bolt of lightning then severely beating him with Mjolnir.

Ultimates 3

In the upcoming arc, it appears that Thor's Mjolnir, no longer looks as it has before: A metal hybrid of a hammer and axe. It now has the same classic, stone look as the mainstream version. He is also Romantically involved with Valkyrie, has developed a bulkier body, and has a massive beard. Whether there is a canon reason for this change or it's simply due to the change or artist from the previous Ultimates volumes remains to be seen; readers have theorized that the series writer, Jeph Loeb, simply wishes to ignore any and all character invention that took place during the previous runs by Mark Millar. He has regressed to speaking in Shakespearean English, as 616 Thor does, because he no longer cares if people think he's crazy.

Notably, three of these changes (the increase in muscles and beard length, and the reversion to a classic hammer) were not expressed in Ultimate Spider-Man, wherein (during the 'Death of a Goblin' arc), Thor briefly appeared as he did in Ultimates and Ultimates 2, possessing his metal hybrid hammer and a smaller beard and muscle mass.
