God: Thor (Scandinavia) Thor, the Thunderer is Odin's eldest son. He is thought to be the strongest of gods and men, and possessed three precious things: A Hammer, which both the Frost and the Mountain giants fear. When Thor throws the hammer, it does its deed and then returns to his hand of its own accord. The Belt of Strength. When Thor girds the belt around him, his divine might is doubled. Iron Gloves. These gloves give Thor enhanced skills, particularly with the mallet, when he wears them.
