* ''Videogame/GenshinImpact'' has the Raiden Shogun, [[PhysicalGod Archon]] of [[ShockAndAwe Electro]], and the ruler of [[{{Wutai}} Inazuma]]. Unusually for a God of Thunder, she's a [[RedOniBlueOni Blue Oni]]. Not that that's a good thing, since she's ([[CharacterDevelopment initially]]) a tyrannical ControlFreak obsessed with maintaining her nation's ideal of "eternity".

Thunder and lightning have always been associated with the unknowable majesty of the Heavens themselves, so gods of thunder are typically the ones who send out [[BoltOfDivineRetribution Bolts of Divine Retribution]] to punish mortals for their hubris and wickedness. Many mythologies portray how they wield it differently, whether they channel it through [[CoolSword a sword]] or [[DropTheHammer a hammer]], throw out bolts like spears or [[SacredBowAndArrows shoot them like arrows]]. Because of this, they are typically portrayed as warriors, if not as outright [[TheBerserker Berserkers]] than as protectors of divine justice. Like [[LordOfTheOcean gods of the sea]], thunder gods are often portrayed as having very mercurial and, well, [[{{Pun}} tempestuous]] personalities. They're often [[HairTriggerTemper quick to anger and offense]], mirroring how storms can seem to boil out of the sky with no warning to unleash devastation and then vanish as quickly as they came.

* Myth/NorseMythology: Thor was the god of thunder, lightning, storms, strength and sacred groves and trees. He is one of the favored sons of the king of the Aesir, [[TopGod Odin]], and while not known for his intelligence or patience, he is considered to be an honorable and benevolent god who dedicated himself to protecting [[HomeOfTheGods Asgard]] and Midgard from the various giants that threatened them. On top of his immense strength he is known for his iconic weapon [[DropTheHammer Mjolnir]], a war-hammer forged by the dwarves Brokkr and Sindri said to have the power to level mountains, its pounding being the explanation for the roaring of thunder by those who worshipped him.

* ''ComicBook/{{Valhalla}}'': Thor, as the God of Thunder and one of the most well-known and well-loved of the Aesir, is one of the principal gods of the series and present in nearly every story. He demonstrates the ability to make thunderclaps on several occasions, though that ability is usually tied to his possession of Mjolnir.
