OK, who here has read the original Norse myths. If you have then you know that the original Odin had nothing like the Odinforce. He was the wisest being in all the 9 worlds, harnessed the Rune Magic, could see anywhere on his throne, had a spear that never missed, and rode a horse that could ride anywhere. So why did Marvel give him the Odinforce when, I thought, he was fairly powerful already, but the Odinforce seemed just like a way to make Odin super powerful. So my question is, do you think they should of make the Odinforce or kept Odin more like he was in the myths?

well its comics they dont want to make it exactly like the myths or it will be boring.

I feel they should tone down Odin so that he is more in line with mythology. However, I think he should be equal to Galactus in terms of power level. Less power, more powerful, you get it?

I would read his comics because it is Thor. They can change everything, Zee. Everything is being remade after Ragnorok, don't you remember?

Odin should be equal to Galactus, because it is Odin the All-Father. He shouldn't be stronger.

Yes he can be as strong as Galactus. He's a God, that should count for more.

As someone stated, it's comics!!! They did that to differentiate from their myth counterpart, to make him, Thor and the rest of the Asgardian pantheon unique to marvel, like giving Thor his costume! It's also well know that Thor is a redhead, but he just happens to be a tall blonde haird god in Marvel! It doesn't really take that much creativity to just use something completely that's already their, Marvel/Stan Lee just used from the Mythology to create his own in marvel! Just common sense, really!

No, Odin's a god.

"Simple white fantom. If your read the Surtur comics back in the day when odin was young he had two brothers. After he and his two brother killed the frost giant ymir they created the 616 earth. They felt as to so cocky they tried to take on Surtur. After they broke Surturs sword odin made a run for it. Sadly however his brothers had to stay behind. The power of odins two brothers is what makes up the odin force. The Odin force was originally odin and his brothers merged. Now its just the left over power they gave to Odin right before Surtur killed them with a simply blast separate. Also in mythology Thor and loki were some of the closets friends. In comics more like bitter enemies. Thors name wasn't really thor either lol and in mythology he was actually smart. In comics thor gets tricked pretty easily and Odin sometimes even ask Loki for advice sadly. Comics for you."

What was Thor's real name? if it wasn't Thor then, Zee!

I don't care what the heretics shove into their ear holes, Odin is a god.

In all realities he is a God. He is Odin.

I am happy knowing the truth, Zee. I feel sorry for the filth you speak from your fingertips, shaming you with it's taint.

Look it up in mythology I forgot. Gottheit says:

Saying this shows how much you don't know about the gods of marvel. Keep saying that but everybody else that reads this will tell you differently."

I already new, I just wanted to hear what you were going to say! Thor is his name, he just had aliases and was called differently in different cultures, just like odin has different names! Just like Odin, who's also known as Woden or Wotan amongst other names!

Or Wutang in the bronx.

I am not worried that Odin is a god, Zee. I have known this for a long time.

Just like Goku named Gohan after the man he recognizes as father.

I love you.

Woden is thors sons name."

Read on, my friend:

Aesir (Æsir in Old Norse) were one race of gods that resided in Asgard. Their counterpart and once enemies, whom they warred upon, were the Vanir. The Vanir were more deities of nature and fertility. Whereas the Aesir were more warlike than their rival. When the two warring races, Aesir and Vanir, made peace, the Vanir deities such as Njörd (Njord), Frey and Freyr became Aesir. (See War of Aesir and Vanir for more detail.)

Only four of the Aesir deities were common to other Germanic tribes: Odin (Wodan), Frigg, Thor (Donar) and Tyr (Tiw or Tiwaz). See Teutonic Deities.

The only son's Thor had I know of are Modi & Magni! P.S. Donar was another name associated with Thor!

Your ignorance and joking isn't funny I'm done here I've proven you wrong enough. You remind me of how vance astro use to act."

A little bit of the pot calling the kettle black don't you think.

Okay, time for me to put my two-pence in.

Thor (thunor, thror, thorr etc) wasn't smart in the myths. He knew a bit about mythology, enough to get him by in a contest. He was quick witted with his tongue as well. But he wasn't especially intelligent. He had a tendancy to solve problems by hitting them with his hammer and hoping for the best, that is why he was teamed with Loki so many times.

Woden is just a different dialects name for Odin and not Thor's son. As stated above Modi and Magni where Thor's sons and a daughter called Thrud. He also had a stepson called Ull (Ullr) who was such a mighty god that he deposes Odin on several occasions. The legendary Thor (rather than the mythic Thor) also had a son called Loridi, but since that was Thor as a legendary hero rather than a god he probably doesn't count here.

I don't know much about Thor in Marvel (other than Ultimate Thor) but it would be cool for Ull to make an appearance if he hadn't already. He was an archer god who lived in lands even more inhospitable than those of the Vikings. He was also a shaman god, like the early Odin.

Love those misquotes.

What's funny is Colt Python would probably be more offended by Zee's earlier comment then me. lol.

"

why are you calling him ignorant? he's one of the most knowledgable guys on this site."

Thanks for the support Apparition but statements like that mean little to Zee.

Why would anyone think Odin is as powerful as Galactus? Galactusd is a supreme cosmic entity, while Odin is just a god. Galactus power surpasses the Celestrials (being a force in the universe with Death and Eternity). Odin had to once get all the other gods like Zeus, to confront just one Celetrial, and even that wasn't enough power to do anything. Odin is powerful, but again, he is just a god. He's not even the most powerful, since even Zeus power rivals his. People need to understand what Galactus is.

Personally, I thought Odin was fine in the myths, and plenty powerful. I mean, he had rune magic, could see anywhere on Earth, his spear never missed, the works. And I'm fine with them powering him up, but he isn't even one of the main heroes, so why work to make him different like he would be one?
