In the Norse pantheon Thor defends the world from natural and super-natural disasters. His only weapon is his Divine Hammer "Mjolnir," its use witnessed on Earth as thunder and lightning.

Mjolnir was given six enchantments by Odin, the supreme deity of the Scandinavians, including the ability to summon the elements of storm (wind, rain, thunder, and lightning), open interdimensional portals, and return to the exact spot from which it has been thrown after striking its target. Additionally, Thor, by swinging the hammer and maintaining his hold on the handle, can magically propel himself through the air in the semblance of flight.

Mjolnir was once stolen by the giant Thrym. In order to get it back, Thor had to dress up like Freyja, the Queen of the Valkyries, and fool Thrym into thinking Freyja was willing to marry him.

The days of the week Wednesday, Thursday and Friday are rooted in the Norse mythology for the trio of Odin, Thor and Freyja, respectively.
