Thor is not immortal. In the issue that came out recently where its set in the far future and thors grand daughters make a magical spell that makes hybrid animals on earth, thor was on his last days. He was dying of old age.

Which issue was that?

@sodamyat: most of you are wrong.in Earth 616 which we are talking about all Gods are immortal(ageless,even Norse Gods without the golden apples).Odin lived for hundreds of thousands of years and he is still alive,Angela(daughter of Odin and Freya )for thousand(possible thousands)year(s).in the very old comics they were ageing but now they are not(although Odin looks old but I will explain now why).thing is,in Marvel everything dies in the end even Infinity and Eternity.

This.

It happened in the issue that CM Punk wrote.

everything dies in Marvel.even Infinity and Eternity,as I wrote above.Thor will die of course.it means his time has come but he is immortal.its been stated 100 times that he is immortal,the thing is "everything dies in the end".

the reason thor is not immortal is because he's....not immortal. the issue in question tells us that.

dude you are missing my point.in Marvel its very complicated.Infinity and Eternity are said that they will die in the end when their time comes but they are immortal.any God will die but they are immortal.as a said "everything dies".

The One Above All won't. Neither will Living Tribunal. Or the greek Gods in the Marvel Universe.

yea, so again, i'll point to the proof. as shown recently, thor is not immortal.

nope everything dies in the end except the Living Tribunal(although I think he is already dead)and One Above All.even Greek Gods.Greek Gods cannot die in real mythology yes, but in Marvel they can.besides Eternity and Infinity are the most powerful beings in the universe(except Living Tribunal and One Above All)and they will die.

@goodboy6: You're saying thor will die. im glad you agree thor is not immortal.

No, Lee stated that, unlike their Norse counterparts, if the Greek Gods are killed it is very much possible for them to be revived.

so are the Norse Gods.I dont know if you follow all comic books but they can be revived as well.

@truth_teller: you are really missing my point.of course he will die.you are using the term immortal like we are using in real life.immortal in our reality means that nothing,literally nothing can kill that being.in Marvel its different.if you remove marvels "everything dies"then all Gods would be alive,as same for Eternity and Infinity.

Thor is not immortal because Norse Gods aren't immortal in the Norse Mythhology itself. Heck, Ragnarok revolves entirely around gods dieing.

He kinda is, he has died....but he has brought himself back to life

Death barely has any meaning to the Norse gods in Marvel anymore, especially Thor/Odin/Loki. Heck, death has no meaning anymore for anyone in comic books. Heck, when Thor died in Fear Itself, he willed himself back to life out of the demagurge (sp?).

Although even Ragnarok isn't the end, just part of the cycle of life/death/rebirth reflected in the natural world. The concept has been touched upon in the comics as well, though the gods had no memories or realization of previous cycles, kind of like hitting the "reset" button, lol! Anyway, @goodboy6 it seems now you're arguing more about whether Thor can be killed/die and agreeing with everyone he can, so the point is...???

@antithetical: Though in the myths the Ragmarok happens and the surviving gods just carry on(Hoenir, Modi, Magni etc.) and rebuild Asgard and Midgard. @haveatthee: that's was written by Farction it doesn't count.

they are saying that the Greek Gods cannot die like in the mythology but they can.my point is that all Gods in Earth 616 are equal.

@haveatthee: In Norse mythology, I don't think it was ever stated they die of old age. it says that they will look old af and their power will wane.

Angela is way older than Thor and she looks in her mid 20's.

Doom wanted to be immortal and make his army immortal so he targeted Asgardians.

I guess it depends on a writer.

he is immortal he stays in a void until he is ready to go back to the physical plane.......

To some of the comments here:

I’m pretty sure this guy meant immortal as in Thor would be ageless. Thor is already incredibly difficult to kill. But this guy probably found it confusing how Asgardians still age, and they could potentially die on a fucking bed in their last moments. I have doubt he meant unkillable. So you can still have your ‘it makes them closer to humans’ reasoning or whatever

As for people saying it’s accurate to the Myths. Only the Icelandic Sources state the Norse Gods aren’t immortal, Danish Saxo Grammaticus calls the Norse Gods "dii immortalibus" meaning "immortal Gods." Snorri Sturluson says in the Ynglinga Saga that the Swedish believed that Norse Gods are immortal and would live forever. So Marvel would still be accurate if the Asgardians (Aesir and Vanir) were immortal. Could still include Ragnarok in it.

@joshmightbe: Actually, they where in some sources. Icelandic sources are the only ones that state they aren’t immortal.

@deadcool: he obviously meant immortal in the sense of agelessness. And it’s improved by the fact no earthly diseases affect them, their durability, healing factors, etc. But they could still die. Like the Olympians for example. He clearly isn’t saying Thor should be an omnipotent being.

@sodamyat: yet Old King Thor still isn’t dead yet. So this statement doesn’t mean much.

Because the Norse gods in mythology could die, because if characters are 100% immune to death it removes the stakes in their stories and because everyone can die in Marvel. Even cosmic powerhouses like Uatu, the Celestials and Galactus aren’t immune to death.

immortality never made sense to me.

Greek gods were considered immortal. so if I cut off their heads what would happen?
