Son of Odin, he was the god of thunder in Norse mythology.   His thunderbolt was a hammer which always returned to his hand after being hurled.   The hammer, called Mjolnir, was forged by the dwarf Sindri, who was interfered by Loki disguised as a fly (consequently the handle of the hammer became very short).   Besides the magic hammer, Thor had a belt which gave him ever-renewed power, and a pair of iron gloves that made him invincible.
