| “ | Do I want power so I can save someone or do I want to save someone so I can gain power? That has gotten so jumbled up inside me that not even I know the answer, but that is the essence of what I am. I keep repeating the cycle to gain more and more power, and I reach my hand out to save whoever needs saving during the process. | „ |

Thor is a major antagonist of A Certain Magical Index: New Testament, serving as one of the main antagonists of the Ichihanaran Festival Arc and a supporting antagonist of the Magic God Othinus Arc.
Named after the mythological Norse figure of the same name, he is a true member of GREMLIN and one of its combat specialists. He's a battle-obsessed person who dislikes getting innocents involved, which causes some difficulties given the large amounts of collateral damage a battle between him and someone around his level can create.
He is voiced by Soma Saito in Japanese.
Appearance[]
Thor appears as a slender androgynous-looking boy with peach-colored skin and has blue eyes and waist length blond hair. He usually wears yellow and black attire, consisting of a tight-fitting shirt and pants as well as a dark stole around his shoulders. He also wears fingerless gloves, with an unusual marking on its palms, and two belts that cross each other, and its belt buckles resembles two goat heads.
Personality[]
Despite being GREMLIN's combat specialist, Thor is shown to be very causal and affable, even towards his enemies, as shown when he casually explained his intentions with Touma Kamijou while eating a burger he paid for with his money. In addition to this, Thor dislikes causing collateral damage and will often try to avoid unnecessary bloodshed or conflicts that will end in the deaths of innocent bystanders. However, as his namesake suggests, Thor does indeed enjoy battle and relishes fighting strong opponents such as Touma. He states that he seeks worthy opponents because he becomes more powerful and skilled with every fight, with a bigger boost the stronger the opponent.
Thor saves people in need, in the process of gaining power, which he uses to save more people, gaining more power, and keeps repeating the cycle. This has gotten to the point where he doesn't even know if he wants power in order to save people, or saves people in order to gain more power. He even notes that he can't "level up" any further without seriously fighting someone on his level, which would mean entire cities being destroyed in the process. This is the reason why he wishes to fight Touma so badly, as he can go all out without worrying about the damage due to Imagine Breaker.
History[]
Most of Thor's background is largely unknown, with not even his real name being known. What is known is that he was a powerful magician even prior to becoming a member of GREMLIN.
Powers and Abilities[]
Powers[]
- Female Appearance Borrowing: A spell based on the myth of Mjölnir's theft, which forced Thor to disguise himself as the goddess of beauty Freya in order to trick the thief. Its effect is that Thor can copy the appearance of any female.
- Arc Fusion Blades: A magic spell that forms electric arc blades. Thor can either form them on the tip of his fingers or at the bottom of his feet, wielding it like a part of his body. They are usually used for slicing and cutting, but they can also be used like boosters by explosively expanding, which allows him to either increase his speed or dampen falls. As they were made to cut, if something cannot be cut by the fusion arc blades Thor will also feel the force of it, depending on the impact that object has on his blades. It can be assumed that the length of the blade may be dependent on Thor connecting to Mjölnir. The length of the blades can reach from 20 meters to 2 kilometers in length with Mjölnir's support.
- Megingjord: A spiritual item that mimics the belt of Thor. It gives him tremendous strength, allowing him to survive an entire bridge being crushed on him, lift it, and throw it several meters into the air.
- Tanngrisnir's and Tanngnjóstr's Fur: A magic spell constructed using the symbols of the goats that pulled Thor’s chariot. It allows Thor to scatter a large amount of goat fur on the water and to stand on it as it was a raft. It is used by Ollerus in the disguise of the God of Thunder.
- Mjölnir's Support: Thor can connect to Mjölnir to drastically raise his power. At that moment, his eyes, hair, and fingertips begin emitting a pale bluish-white light, and he can increase the length of his arc fusion blades. He can apparently call in the power more than once, as exemplified during his battle with Silvia, allowing him to give him enough energy to evade her attacks.
- Almighty Thor: A spell based on the former aspects of Thor as an all-powerful deity, who originally ruled over agriculture and manufacturing and was in control of all forms of weather, the seasons and natural disasters; but was later reduced to the simple position of god who rules over thunder and lightning. This magic moves the entire world (In this context referring to the planet Earth) around him to place him in a position where he can easily defeat his enemy. It operates automatically, adjusting position and distance such that none of the enemy's attacks can reach him and that he is in the ideal position to attack by having the world act as conveyer belt that delivers the desired target to him, such that a win or draw are the only outcomes. It's stated that even if his target flees to the other side of the planet Thor will instantly arrive in front of them. However, this magic is limited to the current world, meaning that Thor can't overcome powers which go beyond/destroy the current world, such as Magic God Othinus. Additionally, the spell doesn't respond to things which Thor isn't facing as a target, though if Thor recognizes it in time he can add it to his targets and avoid harm.
- Invisibility Spell Suppression: Thor has the ability to add some sort of modifications to a certain area in order to nullify an invisibility spell without the user noticing.
- Healing: When Ollerus was disguised as Thor, Othinus punishes him for his failures by severing his entire arm, and tells Marian to fix it. However, Ollerus says he can do it himself, which Marian accepts. Therefore it can be assumed that Thor at least has the power to reconnect severed limbs.
