Thor (Charlton)

Silver Age Origin
Charlton's version of Thor was a normal Scandinavian man who was weak and cowardly compared to his viking brothers, but he discovers a cave that glowed with strange light. Bathing in these rays caused Thor to grow strong. He also discover a hammer shaped object in the cave which when thrown shot lightning and destroyed any obstacles. Thor then became a hermit and lived in the forest. However when invading Huns attack him, he throws his hammer incinerating his foes. His actions became legend and the basis for myth.
