Why Thor?

             Thor is god of thunder in Norse mythology. He wields the hammer with associated of thunder, lighting and storms; which make him powerful enough to fight against monster and giant. With strength and will of protecting people, he became as life savior. A God, whom even has more popularity than his father Odin; and contrary him by not sacrifice human life. He always spend his time to fight against monster, giant, creature to protect humankind.This is what I like about Thor; using his gifted power to help people rather than using it to bullying people. As honor for his kindness, people write books, make movie and even video game about him. What a God!
