The word ‘ immortal ’ is a hard one to limit in the Marvel Universe , as it could signify anything from beings sport in religious texts and/or practices ( like Thor , Zeus , ect . ) , to entities likeCelestials who create life on Planet Earth(as well as countless other man across the cosmos ) . Not only that , but there are beings that live outside the prize realism of Marvel canon that consider themselves idol , not to mention cosmic artifact that keep the power to much turn person into gods themselves ( like the Infinity Gauntlet or Necrosword ) . However , the one thing that truly makes someone an honorary divinity in Marvel Comics is usually the power to bend the very fabric of reality to their whimsey in one form or another - and Thor just gained such power .

Thor Can Manipulate Time & Space, & The Price Is The All-Sleep
InImmortal Thor#2 by Al Ewing and Martín Cóccolo , Thor is battling Toranos , an elder god of storms , and he ’s quickly study that he ’s whole outmatch . However , in the middle of their fight , Thor comes to the realization that all the powerfulness he inherited from Odin is in truth and wholly his now . He is n’t using Odin ’s All - Father power , Thor is the All - Father , meaning every advantage once granted his father now only belonged to him . This leaven useful , as Thor unlocked a not bad piece of his full potential to temporarily defeat Toranos by ripping a hole through world and scoot the villain to the edge of existence . However , this power also do with a major helplessness . For every mo of the All - Power Thor utilizes , he has to make up for it by ‘ recharging ’ in the All - nap , where he becomes as vulnerable as a deadly . And the more superpower he uses , the longer the sleep must be - and defy it makes the All - Sleep longer still .
This is an interesting development for Thor , as his usual upgrade broadly arrive with little to no go aftermath . Thor unlock a young stratum of tycoon , he uses it to suppress whatever villain he ’s up against , and then he rule sovereign until he face another villain who was even stronger than the last . This is a cycle Marvel Comics lover have seen play out again and again , which is why this late power - up is so fresh . This time , there is n’t some outside weakness that Thor has to whelm , as the upgrade itself is its own weakness . When using the All - Power , not even elder gods older than sentence can match him . But when his vigour is used to that extent , he has to pay for it with a long All - Sleep . This put Thor in a confusing situation every time he ’s up against an all - powerful villain . Does he channel a not bad slew of his All - Power to hopefully defeat the baddie chop-chop , or restrict himself to stay in the fight for longer ?
fight and toughened decision - qualification make for interesting situations and characters , far more so than a simple exhibition of raw , unchecked power ( no matter how heroic it may be ) . Therefore , Thor ’s new weakness make him Marvel ’s most interesting ( and most powerful ) god , as it outline a very clean and exact monetary value for near - all-powerful force .
