    Im almost 100% sure he throws the hammer and that pulls him. Although, ive seen him levitate in spot, which I don't really I understand.

    he is pulled by mjolnir, and since it obeys his commands, he can hover or whatever. but on his own he can't.

    He uses the Mjolnir, but I heard someone here mention he flew on his own once, but I don't know the story behind it.

    He can probably fly via weather control like storm if he wanted.
     
    I'm sure I've seen him throw the hammer while levitating and not fall to the ground immediately.

    he flies through win control like storm when not using the hammer. with the Hammer he can fly FTL. if he ever fully mastered his magic potential he could fly without the hammer in an actual flight sense not a being carried by the wind sense

    Yeah but I don't think they'll ever let him fly without it because then as far as I'm concerned he'll be Viking Superman.

    Yes Thor can fly, They dont call him the Sky King for nothing. Plus it wouldnt make sense to throw his hammer and continue in a straight line for hundreds of miles or neither would he be able to hovers in one spot.

    No he can only use his hammer to fly,he has floated in mid air until his hammer actually returned to him though. and to all the people out there who says he can fly like Storm.this isn't necessarily true.just because they have similar power set doesn't mean that he uses his wind the same way she does.  
     
    The fact that Thor is tons heavier than Ororo he might need more wind to support his body mass,while Ororo is like a feather compared to him...so it doesn't take much of hastle for her to stay aloft, IDK it's one of those thing where you can only assume or guess. 
     
    Maybe he never thought about flying without Minjlor?  O_o

    This is directly from the Marvel website:

    "By throwing Mjolnir while grasping its leather thong, Thor can simulate flight at speeds up to Mach 32 (over 24,000 mph). Thor can steer Mjolnir’s path via his mental control over Mjolnir while traveling and can “hover” in place by spinning Mjolnir in his hand. While throwing Mjolnir when “hovering,” Thor can use winds to keep himself afloat allowing him to appear to be in flight."
    More on Marvel.com: http://marvel.com/universe/Thor_complete_powers#ixzz2CGt99jyf

    To be honest, I'm surprised no one went there to reference is powers haha.

    Thor has levitated, but never fully cared to try and use his potential as I dont think he cares much about it as he has the hammer.

    stan lee has stated, he found it weird on how superman can fly without any purpose and he thought it was ridiculous. So he wanted THOR to not just jump and fly but to have some kind of method to fly. So stan made THOR spin his hammer like a propeller then the hammer would pull him into the air.

    @thorson: Stan Lee finds anything he didn't create weird LOL.

    I personally have never read a comic where he fly's without Mjolnir so my bet would be on "No".

    He can fly without mjolnir, and pretty fast too I assume.. He can create some damn powerful winds to push him thru the air.. If he mastered his magic potential tho he could also fly like that

    Well, that is strange cause here is Thor flying without his hammer (as you can see his fists are extended from his shoulders with no hammer in sight):

    No Caption Provided

    Well, it could be that his hammer was clentched inside his belt because the hammer "appears" when he is fighting the dragons and after he lands.

    However for those of you who want to know where the scan is from, yol are in a for a treat, the scan is from Marvel Knights presents Spider-Man and Wolverine #4.

    It's a flashback by the way so Thor is not in this comic, spoiler alert

    I believe Stan Lee was very adamant about the hammer and very proud of the idea, due to his complex about unassisted flight(seriously a vest that allows you to fly is fine, but flying as just a superpower is a problem for him).

    He can't fly without Mjolnir. There may be some rare moments where he's actually accomplished it, however for the most part he cannot.

    well, being as marvel thor he seems to need mjolnir to fly, but as the god he really is, he represents natural elements, is defined as the god of sky,winds & storms (though i dont think is the only one bonded to these elements), so he could in fact manipulate the winds and fly.

    @asgardianbrony: A very recent comic shows he can't. So he can't. There hasn't been a single instance since Original Sin that Thor has flown.
