Powers and Abilities

 

Inner Essence & Yggdrasil Scaling

 

Yggdrasil and the Philosophy behind Thor's Inner Essence

Despite all the power-ups, buffs and abilities Thor has gained over the years, none of them truly surpass the raw power that comes from his inner power. Time and time again, his own inner strength has been the source behind his greatest feats, proving greater than the Power Cosmic, the Odinforce, the Gaea Force, the Phoenix Force, Mjolnir and many other external powers and equipment that he's gained. This idea is also closely tied to the concept of Thor's worthiness, making it more than just another power-up. It's a core part of his character and one that's been consistently backed up by both the narrative and his feats.

Before we can understand the scale of Thor's feats, we first need to understand the size and significance of the World Tree. It's described as having "everything" alongside "roots and branches containing all that is", with the roots specifically mentions housing every planes of reality and all multiversal timelines that serves as the Cosmic Axis or Axis Mundi of creation, touching every level of existence and every corresponding realm throughout the Cosmology. Additionally, the traditionally known Nine Realms of Norse mythology are merely the tip of the iceberg making up only a tiny fraction of the World Tree's infinitely greater totality as the structure itself is vast enough to encompass even the Multiversal Abstracts including the Living Tribunal. It's highest point lies the Crown of All Creation, better known as the House of Ideas, the domain and home to The One Above All. Consistent with Oblivion threatening to bring down the World Tree and plunge all of existence into nonexistence, the same entity who's significance rivals the Far Shore and is equal in stature to Multi-Eternity, another cosmic entity embodying the totality of creation of Marvel's Cosmology in it's entirety.

This leaves us with two distinct structures of the World Tree. The first is it's body, primarily referring to its roots where nearly the entirety of creation resides. The second is it's complete form, with it's highest point extending into the Godhead containing the House of Ideas and, by extension, the totality of Marvel's narratives and stories.

Feats:

Thor has numerous feats affecting Yggdrasil countless times over the years. Much of which includes:

• Shaking the World Tree through the sheer force of his battle with Jormungandr.
• Overpowering the World Engine, forcing back both it's the Engine and the full might of the World Tree.
• Shaking the entire World Tree with nothing but his cries as an infant.
• Shattered one of Yggdrasil's roots during a massive rampage.
• Obliterated the Threads of Fate and destroyed Yggdrasil, severing the source from which Those-Who-Sit-Above-in-Shadow had long drawn their power.
• Easily defeated MYTHOS, who wielded the World Tree's full power.

There are three distinct feats that I want to emphasize in order to explain the nature of Thor's inner power.

Feats Inspection

In feat #1, we learn that Thor's cries as an infant were powerful enough to shake the entire structure of the World Tree, with the narration explicitly stating that every root and branch felt the violent storm his cries conjured. While there is no definitive statement that Thor was consciously channeling his power, the comic's narrative strongly implies as much, particularly through the accompanying panel which emphasizes that Thor's strength is so immense that he could destroy the world before he is even born. 

In feat #2, Thor overpowers the World Engine, with the story explicitly stating that he was pushing back both the force of the Engine and the full might of the World Tree while emphasizing that tampering with it would unleash untold destruction. Immediately beforehand, Thor is explicitly shown channeling his inner power by invoking the Rune of Thurisaz, the rune of Thor, where the narration strongly implies that doing so signifies the unleashing and reclamation of his inherent power.

In feat #3, he achieves a casual and decisive victory over MYTHOS, who had harnessed the full power of Yggdrasil. At the outset of the battle , despite not holding back and explicitly channeling his anger and rage, Thor was initially overwhelmed, even stating that MYTHOS' attacks was slowly tearing him apart piece by piece. However, following a brief pep talk from Spider-Man and a renewed understanding of what it truly means to be a hero, Thor regained his confidence. He then effortlessly endured countless blasts from MYTHOS, exhausted his opponent's power and ultimately crushed both his arm and his entire body, securing a flawless victory. In the end, remarking that the greatest power that he possesses above all else is the power of his heart, the power of Thor.

Analysis

As you can see, all three of these feats convey Thor's inner power at it's very best. Each feat explicitly emphasizes the existence and significance of his innate power. The first visually depicts Thor affecting the World Tree while the narration states that the storm reached every root and branch, the second demonstrates him channeling his reclaimed power before overpowering the World Engine and the full might of the Tree and the third showcases his overwhelming victory over MYTHOS, who wielded Yggdrasil's full power by literally channeling the power of his own name. Moreover, all three feats are accomplished without any outside assistance or external power source. In fact, Mjolnir is notably absent from each of them, highlighting just how independent Thor's inner power truly is despite the hammer traditionally serving as a means of amplifying or focusing his abilities. Finally, these feats present a well-rounded demonstration of Thor's capabilities in which the first highlights his command over lightning, the second his raw physical strength and the third his resilience and insane endurance.

Not only is this consistent with Thor's character but it also aligns with the very nature of his worthiness, which is his ability to embrace humility and act in the name of righteousness rather than personal glory, revenge or sport. This theme is reinforced throughout the comics on multiple occasions. For instance, Freyja tells Thor that his greatest power is not Mjolnir, but his own beating heart, emphasizing that his true strength comes from within. Likewise, Odin himself acknowledges that he is no match for the power of his own son, further supporting the notion that Thor's greatest source of power has always been his own innate potential. Furthermore, in some of his latest appearances, Thor now is consciously aware of the superhero logic that exists within his world. As long as he believes that justice is worth fighting for, he is capable of pushing past his limits and overcoming even the greatest of obstacles.

Nonetheless, this provides a more coherent framework and helps explain some of Thor's apparent losses. For example, during his poor defeat at the hands of Odin wearing the Destroyer Armor, although that incarnation of Odin was undeniably powerful, it still should not compare to the full might of the World Tree. The most plausible explanation is that Thor was drawing upon his fury rather than his inner power. This interpretation is consistent with the earlier Yggdrasil feat, which only affected the Tree's roots rather than its entire structure and is further reinforced by his battle with MYTHOS, where the narrative explicitly demonstrates that Thor's fury pales in comparison to his inner power.

Consequently, this suggests that even if another character fought Thor under the implication that he was going all out and completely bloodlusted, there is still a strong possibility that they would not truly scale to his full power (as crazy as it sounds). This mechanic not only provides a reasonable explanation for some of Thor's losses but also allows him to consistently remain the strongest character in his verse, as his greatest feats are achieved through his inner power rather than through rage alone. Establishing a more consistent scaling chain with the majority of herald-tiers scaling to Yggdrasil's roots and physical body, while the entirety of the World Tree's structure remains reserved for only a minute handful of characters such as Hulk.

The Odinforce / Odinpower / Thorforce

As seen with various fragmentation of feats of states of Thor shown above, and several ascension to the throne of Asgard, Thor inherited the Odinforce. One of the greatest sources of mystical power in existence, this vast reservoir of cosmic energy grants it's wielder an immense increase in power, along with a wide range of extraordinary abilities, from reality manipulation and matter transmutation to dimensional travel and powerful mystical attacks. However, Thor did not initially inherit the Odinforce in it's entirety as during Thor (2020) #24, it was revealed that the Odinforce could never be fully transferred while Odin still existed. As long as Odin remained alive, a portion of the power stayed with him. Only after Odin's sacrifice and complete passing did the remaining essence of the Odinforce transfer to Thor, allowing him to become its complete and rightful wielder for the first time.
