http://www.yomodel.com - Thursday was Thors Day a different kind of hero because he was a god from another realm named Asgard straight out of ancient Norse mythology and his story reflected the generation gap that was raging throughout society in the 1960s. I found the Thor myth irresistible. Thor had long flowing blond hair and an authoritarian father who forbade him his love for an earthling Jane Foster a metaphor for the struggle for racial integration that defined those times. Thor rebelled from his dad King Odin adopting the humans of earth and protecting them from super villains intergalactic monsters and even from rival gods. When not saving the world he disguised himself as a handicapped doctor Donald Blake who needed a cane to walk and at times when his vengeful father stripped him of his powers he would be stuck in that limping body. When danger appeared Blake would strike his cane into the ground it would transform into the mighty hammer Mjolnir and the longhaired God of Thunder would jump into action.
