God of Thunder, Thor admits he alone can’t handle when a situation unrolls, that’s when a godly X-Men member joins in.
Marvel’s Asgardian God of Thunder, Thor, surprisingly admitted that he isn’t the most powerful one. Here’s what happens when Storm God, Marvel’s other character, and an iconic X-Men member known as Storm, comes out to help Thor to accomplish his task carefree.
Steve Orlando and Andrea Broccardo’s X-Men: Curse of the Man-Thing #1, Brought up in the epic finale to the Man-Thing mini-event dubbed Curse of the Man-Thing, picks up as the heroes of the Marvel universe struggles to fight back the dangers sprouting up from the evil machinations of Harrower and she forcibly controlled Man-Thing. In a need to disperse the toxic pollen scattered around the atmosphere, Thor thinks to call down a giant storm to get rid of the pollen from all the innocents on the ground below, effectively rendering its toxicity impotent.
Thor isn’t the most powerful God
Saying that creating a worldwide storm to get rid of the pollen would be something that might, “…Test even the God of Thunder’s might”, realizing it Thor casually admits that his power alone is not enough to execute such an enormous task. Cut to the mutant island nation of Krakoa where Storm is trying her best to convince her fellow mutants to allow her to help in these human affairs, and fans can probably assume how the other God of Thunder can give a hand to Thor to accomplish his task.
To help finish what Thor couldn’t, Storm arrives on the scene where she immediately shows her strength as a weather goddess, yet again making Thor to admit subtly that he isn’t as powerful as expected by saying “No contagion, no matter how foul, could hope to overcome our combined might!” Replying, “It’s good to be a Storm God, Thor,” Storm simultaneously shows that Thor isn’t the most powerful God of Thunder and that when it comes down to it, she could probably out-thunder him any day.
Having wielded the power of Thor before via the weapon known as Stormcaster made by Loki, it is a cakewalk for Storm when it comes to helping out not only the Avengers but also helping with anything in the natural world that has to do with the weather. And although Thor is incredibly powerful in hand-to-hand combat, his weather powers are something he needs to work on.
With his offhand comments about his own strength, Thor shows that he just simply isn’t always up to snuff where the “thunder” part of his title is concerned though he might be handy in a pinch when the next overpowered and omnipotent villain shows up.
So, while the appellation of God of Thunder is and always will be Thor’s, it’s a huge point to consider in regard to his weather-controlling powers and what is called a God of Thunder actually means, regardless of what him informally admitting that he doesn’t have the power to handle the situation at hand without Storm’s help. A storm may only be known as a Storm God in some parts of the world, but she can pick up the slack when Thor can’t handle things on his own.
