The following has spoilers from Fear Itself #1. Those of you who haven't read it yet and wish to do so without being told any details about it should get out of here now. You have been warned.

I thought that was ironic too, that's why I was confused.

I was kinda shocked to see Odin that way myself. I agree with Gambit1024.

I think Odin is actually afraid of the God of Fear. He thinks that the time spent with humans has somehow weakened his people, and made them not ready to deal with the upcoming threat. Look at what the Void/Sentry did to Asgard. Before the close relations with humans, this kind of even would seem unfathomable, but low and behold, some psychotic mortal bought Asgard to its knees. I believe he blames humanity for the condition of Asgard, possibly to cover up his own insecurities of failing his people

Uhm, Odin's always been like that. He didn't send Thor to Earth to be as humble as a human, but to be humble in the presence of Odin. Its like a rich Majillioniare Emperor King who stars in Hollywood movies sending his son to a public school to be humble. Odin doesn't have a problem with humanity, they are just small and weakish and have this weird humany odor.

Ohhh I see whut you did thare!

 But in all seriousness I think you have pretty much Completely nailed it.

He is a god and gods would rather build their homes, not those they feel lesser than them. It's a matter of pride.

This is Odin we're talking about. Who would dare tell him no? That goes for even Thor or anybody.

His chickens are coming home to roost, that would get anyone's feathers ruffled.

Having spent the afternoon drinking beer and reading Thor comics (post rebirth), I cant help but think Fraction's Odin is not the same as JMS's Odin.

JMS made Odin into a relatively likable god, but still flawed; breathing life into humanity, falling to Loki's manipulation yet admitting his own flaws while willingly accepting to remain in an eternal battle with Surtur. While Fraction's seems more in line with Marvel's perception of god-who-are-really-aliens, where humans are just annoying bugs to be toyed with if not squashed for their amusement at best.

JMS's Odin didnt blame Thor for not reviving him and actively told him not to, fractions however had Odin fighting Hela's puppy dog or something before being pulled back because of some unknowable evil that wont be seen for like 30 years or so.

So the question remains; Is Odin truly the one who created humanity (JMS) or is he some alien a-hole who couldnt give a damn about them (Fraction)?

Actually there are MANY humans/mutants that can humble Asgard , not to mention Odin himself , without much problems . Also , based upon the Sentry's ability to auto-resurrect , he isn't technically a mortal . That goes for a number of human mutants too . They are viewed as "mortals" only in the gods' view .

Also is Odin aware of Franklin Richards and what he can do ? I suppose his arrogance towards humanity would be greatly reduced , if he did .

@Outside_85: Awesome post, I truly prefer JMS' interpretation of Odin and the Asgardian gods. I completely despise what Fraction has done with Thor and Asgard.

Could you please give me a list? I can only think of maybe five or six without extensive prep. And with proper prep just about any character can be written to beat another.

Who could?

Franklin Richards

Molecule Man perhaps. He seems to have been written down some of late.

Sentry/Void On a good day.

Korvac at his most powerful.

Maybe Jamie Braddock

Mad Jim Jaspers of he is still around

What are some others?

I wouldn't exactly say your list is accurate. Several of those like the Wanda example and Dark Phoenix are one-time power ups or abstract entities in human form. Just about any major character if around long enough gets one of those. Didn't Captain America have access to a cosmic cube one time? Others like Roma and Merlyn are not so much humans as some sort of aliens/cosmic entities. Based on what you sated by many "mutants/humans" I was looking more for ones that could humble Odin in their default state who are actually from Earth.
