Marvel's Asgardian Gods Are Aliens?
I asume they are aliens considering how many mortals can at least match up with Thor,and look at how the asgardians match up with the Hulk.
i herd that in a comic to that don blake guy refred to them as such and as thier race didnt root from gaea like the greeks they are not really earth gods. just dudes from another place thats not earth(Alien)
i think that might be it unless what you read was none cannon not really sure.
They were created by The One Above All most likely, and there are gods that don't originate on Earth. Such as the Cosmic Gods (Galactus). As for the Asgardians being aliens, I think they are based off of the Aesir in Norse Mythology and are then considered gods, just not the same as the Greek Pantheon which were much more powerful.
In the Marvel Universe, Human physiology is much more malleable than real humans are. A gamma explosion the size of which created the Hulk, would have killed any man caught inside it not turn them into a Hulking creature that crushes gods for fun. So to compare a fictional god with a fictional mortal really isn't fair, considering in these universes the "mortals" have the potential of becoming godlike in strength themselves.
In Marvel these humans who naturally progress that way are called Mutants, in DC Universe they are called Metahumans, although the phrase there is more widespread for anyone who has superpowers it still applies to the "DC Mutant".
@jacksper: There is no such thing as the One Above All. The name has only been used twice: 1) As the name of a Celestial. 2) the mutant named Protege', who attempted to replicate the power of this being, but instead was only able to look like the Living Tribunal. The Living Tribunal killed him for his presumption.
That's it.
