During the [[heathen]] Viking era, Thor was an enormously popular god in Northern Europe. Many people of the time wore hammer amulets, much as modern [[Christians]] wear crosses today.

Since 1962, a comic book has been published on-and-off in which Thor is the superhero by Marvel Comics. The creators of this comic used some of the original mythic material, but did not follow it completely. For example, Thor is shown with blond hair in the comic, and other aspects of the myths were significantly changed.
