History Awesome / TheMightyThor

* Meeting ComicBook/IronMan again in ''Thor vol 3 #3'' after the events of ''Comicbook/CivilWar'' and proceeding to [[CurbStompBattle curb stomp]] him before telling him the reason that Tony's been able to take him on before was because he was holding back, and then lecturing him on just who he is, what that means and about the incidents in ''Civil War''. It's worth mentioning that ComicBook/IronMan initiated the confrontation and believed he was fully prepared to deal with him. Thor took him down with ''one hit''.

* After Loki killed Balder with his one weakness, mistletoe, Balder was forced to wade through an ocean of blood and everyone he ever killed to return to the world of the living. Henceforth, he became a pacifist and renounced all violence. When he heard that Loki was consorting with Malekith the Accursed, and needed to deliver a message from Odin to Loki, Loki ignored him as he was captured and prepared for execution. Balder slipped his bonds and, with no other choice as the delivery of the letter could save billions of lives, was forced to renounce his vow as he [[http://wac.450f.edgecastcdn.net/80450F/comicsalliance.com/files/2011/04/thor14.jpg singlehandedly killed]] [[http://wac.450f.edgecastcdn.net/80450F/comicsalliance.com/files/2011/04/thor15.jpg every demon]] in the hall. At which point Loki revealed that he had already accepted to work with Malekith, tossed the letter over his head, and laughed that it was so delightful to watch a pacifist slay the thousands that he couldn't beat to mention it before. Balder then threatened to kill him via decapitation. Loki goaded him into it, and Balder ran screaming into the night, cursing himself... and when he left, Loki [[http://static.comicvine.com/uploads/ignore_jpg_scale_super/7/72524/3907754-7681681737-LokiS.jpg picked up my head]] and placed it back on. After all, the first thing a sorcerer of quality learns is making himself as difficult to kill as possible.
* While plotting out his far-reaching plans before the ''Siege'' event he realized he needed control of the Dsir. You know, the undead Valkyries that eat souls that are considered TheDreaded? So naturally the best option was to [[CurbStompBattle beat them into submission]] with his bare hands, and get them to swear fealty to him. Take ''that'' mortals who claim [[SquishyWizard Loki is nothing without his spells!]]
* He gave the mercenary ComicBook/{{Deadpool}} his gift of BreakingTheFourthWall by doing it himself. He also convinced him he was his son, to get back at Thor. When Deadpool failed to defeat Thor, Loki cursed Deadpool with the face of Tom Cruise and made him completely indestructible until he apologized.

* Even Loki's LEGO self is not to be trifled with. In ''[[VideoGame/LegoAdaptationGame LEGO Marvel Superheroes]]'', he successfully outwitted Doctor Doom and Magneto and brainwashed Galactus to devour Earth and Asgard.

-->'''Thor:''' Give your orders and ultimatums to those who choose to obey, or are too cowardly to fight, '''not''' to me. Or learn again the difference between a god of thunder -- and a mortal man in a metal suit. As for your masters, since power is all they understand, tell them that Thor says this: if any mortal comes uninvited to Asgard on behalf of those who suppose themselves to be powers -- within the hour they will learn what '''true''' power is. The skies will open and deliver the first part of that message in terms even the blind could not fail to see. Anyone attempting to escape the message will find entering the skies even more dangerous. And this will be only the beginning of their education. For their own good, and yours, go to them and convey that warning. Do not let them forget '''what''' a god of thunder '''is''', and what that '''means'''. Now that your war of brothers is done, I have no interest in becoming involved on either side of the disagreement. I am, for the moment, neutral. Do not give me cause to reconsider that position.

** During the ''Godbomb'' saga, this line gets a CallBack from Viking!Thor, who is then trumped by Avenger!Thor delivering a [[UpToEleven truly epic line:]]

** As they're waiting for Mjolnir and over Loki's protests that [[YouWouldntShootMe Thor must be bluffing]], Thor references the incident with Balder mentioned above and informs him that while he was able to put himself back together then, **this** time Thor will make sure he's in no condition to do so.

!!Thor and Others

* Baldur, willing to die to protect his oath not to kill, is goaded by Malekith and forced to kill a battallion of demons to fulfill a mission that could save billions of lives. He then proceeds to force Malekith to teleport away and beheads Loki.

* Several times Loki has succeeded in his quest to rule Asgard! In early issues, this was done by stealing Odin's Odin-ring, which made Loki supreme ruler. When Thor tried to protest, their father responded by removing his mouth, as not even Odin can disagree with the one who wears the Odin-ring. Of couse, such conquests rarely last more than a few issues.
* He once turned Thor into a frog, and would have succeeded in gaining the throne if he hadn't lifted Mjölnir at the last moment.
* His manipulation of Balder the Brave ''must'' be acknowledged. After Loki killed him with his one weakness, mistletoe, Balder was forced to wade through an ocean of blood and everyone he ever killed to return to the world of the living. Henceforth, he became a pacifist and renounced all violence. When he heard that Loki was consorting with Malekith the Accursed, and needed to deliver a message from Odin to Loki, Loki ignored him as he was captured and prepared for execution. Balder slipped his bonds and, with no other choice as the delivery of the letter could save billions of lives, was forced to renounce his vow as he [[http://wac.450f.edgecastcdn.net/80450F/comicsalliance.com/files/2011/04/thor14.jpg singlehandedly killed]] [[http://wac.450f.edgecastcdn.net/80450F/comicsalliance.com/files/2011/04/thor15.jpg every demon]] in the hall. At which point Loki revealed that he had already accepted to work with Malekith, tossed the letter over his head, and laughed that it was so delightful to watch a pacifist slay the thousands that he couldn't beat to mention it before. Balder then threatened to kill him via decapitation. Loki goaded him into it, and Balder ran screaming into the night, cursing himself... and when he left, Loki [[http://static.comicvine.com/uploads/ignore_jpg_scale_super/7/72524/3907754-7681681737-LokiS.jpg picked up my head]] and placed it back on.

When Deadpool failed to defeat Thor, he cursed Deadpool with the face of Tom Cruise and made him completely indestructible until he apologized.

* When fighting two {{Legacy Character}}s of sorts of Thor, Beta Ray Bill and Eric Masterson, he took out Beta Ray Bill with one shot from behind. He then became enraged when Eric sucker-punched him. Loki enacted revenge by seizing his arm with machinery and [[http://static.comicvine.com/uploads/original/15/150339/2970746-7301821653-Loki_.jpg shocking him]] enough to release his hammers, then [[http://static.comicvine.com/uploads/original/15/150339/2970747-5647122265-Loki_.jpg slapped him]] to the brink of unconsciousness. To make things even better, he reverted to his mortal form due to losing hold of Mjölnir.
* Even Loki's LEGO self is not to be trifled with. In ''[[VideoGame/LegoAdaptationGame LEGO Marvel Superheroes]]'', he successfully outwitted Doctor Doom and Magneto and brainwashed Galactus to devour Earth and Asgard. And he would have gotten away with it, too, if it weren't for you meddling gamers.
* In ''VideoGame/MarvelUltimateAlliance'', he storms Asgard with an army of Frost Giants and trolls. When the heroes catch up to him, he deliberately throws the fight to trick them into freeing the Destroyer for him, which he then proceded to control. And foreknowledge of his plan won't help you, as it has to be done to progress in the game.

* Baldur, willing to die to protect his oath not to kill, is goaded by Malekith and forced to kill a battallion of demons to fulfill a mission that could save billions of lives. He then proceeds to force Malekith to teleport away and [[spoiler:beheads Loki]].
** [[spoiler:Who then manages to make the scene even ''more'' awesome by getting up once Balder leaves and finding his head with all the concern of someone missing a sock.]]
--->[[spoiler:'''Loki''': "After all, the first thing a sorcerer of quality learns is to make himself as difficult to kill as possible."]]

* Thor leads an army of Asgardians into Hel to rescue mortal souls held there by Hela. He wrestles Hela for their souls and is winning when she smites him with the hand of glory, mangling his face and sapping the life from him. [[spoiler:Hela tries to make him kiss her cape and he rips it from her, robbing her of her power. He forces her to abide by the bargain or he will rip the cape (which he barely has the strength left to do).]] He grows his beard to hide the scars. (Iss 361)

* In the latest series of ''Thor'' books, the Thunder God himself is teaming up with his future Old Father self to face off and finally destroy the 'God Killer'. However...the main point of awesome recently is Thor's younger self, back in Viking Times: he manages to face [[spoiler: ''[[ComicBook/XMen Apocalypse]]'' of all people, survives...and...later ''beats'' him and mortally wounds him with his axe despite his father's wishes!]]

* ComicBook/NewAvengers 32. Thor, after suffering through humiliations & some sort of emotional breakdown, finally proves himself worthy yet again. How does he do so? By making a LastStand together with his "brother" Hyperion against an entire army of Beyonders [[spoiler: (same guys who wiped out entire Marvel cosmic across the entire multiverse including Living Tribunal himself)]].

* Thor #387-389 features an epic battle with the Celestials as Thor tries to stop them from annihilating an alien world. His first attacks include shattering the mountain Arishem the Judge is standing on, attacking him with a huge storm, and then ''blasting him with the magnetic field of the entire planet''. Arishem doesn't even appear to notice all this, and then Exitar the Exterminator shows up, forcing Thor to pull out all the stops. He manages to pierce Exitar's armor and enters the Celestial, at which point he confronts the bizarre reality inside. He fights his way through hordes of monsters to Exitar's brain, encased in an impenetrable shell. Thor cracks this shell (destroying Mjolnir in the process) and, with nothing left to do, dives bodily into Exitar's pure-energy brain. After all this... [[spoiler:he manages to momentarily disrupt the Celestials' process of eliminating the alien species they had judged unworthy]]. It might not sound like much, but the whole story really makes it clear that Thor operates on a scale most superheroes never even approach.

* Even Loki's LEGO self is not to be trifled with. In ''[[VideoGame/LegoAdaptationGame LEGO Marvel Superheroes]]'', he successfully outwitted Doctor Doom and Magneto and [[spoiler:brainwashed Galactus to devour Earth and Asgard]]. And he would have gotten away with it, too, if it weren't for you meddling gamers.

** The best part has to be the speech he gives Tony on just how ''done'' he is with bowing to mortal concerns, and how he is ready to remind them of his PersonOfMassDestruction powers extend to his WeatherManipulation abilities as well as his SuperStrength, something the page emphasizes with a depiction of Washington DC flooded to the point only the bell-dome of the White House emerges above the water, and of a flooded airport beneath a lightning-filled sky. For added emphasis, he gives the speech whilst holding Tony in a NeckLift -- hard enough to bruise his neck ''through'' the armor, as we see in the final pages -- and after casually tearing off his faceplate.

* In a very early issue, Loki erected an impenetrable barrier around Thor's hammer, preventing him from lifting it. The day was saved when Donald Blake tricked him into dropping his guard... with a [[http://cbr.imgix.net/goodcomics/2011/05/goofythor-3.jpg plastic dummy]] of Thor. Yes. Thor once outwitted the God of Lies with a plastic dummy and second-rate ventriloquism.
