Stan Lee's first three big creations in the 60s were the Fantastic Four, Spider-Man, and the Incredible Hulk. He wanted to come up with somebody as powerful -- or more powerful -- than the Hulk for his next character, but wasn't sure how to make somebody stronger than the strongest human.
That's when he decided to base his character on a god. Deciding that people were too familiar with Greek and Roman gods, he looked to Norse mythology, and along with his brother Larry Lieber and artist Jack Kirby, Thor was born.
