Thor[]
<<This version of Thor Odinson (Earth-One), including all history and corresponding appearances, was erased from existence following the collapse of the Multiverse in the 1985-86 Crisis on Infinite Earths limited series and is now considered apocryphal.>> Maybe not. This Thor appears in "War of the Gods" which occurs AFTER "Crisis," unless the DC universe has collapsed and rebuilt itself over again. I can't keep track.... Thor2000 16:25, March 22, 2011 (UTC)
Storm of Ambiguous Origin[]
"In New Comics Vol 1 9, in the Vikings feature, the character Djorg "threatens the vengeance of the great god Thor" and the longship is overtaken by a terrific storm. If true, that issue is the first appearance of Thor, but behind the scenes."
- 1/ If he's "behind the scenes," then he doesn't "appear."
- 2/ In the context of Malcolm Wheeler-Nicholson's "The Vikings," the Norse Gods were considered mythological, or at least never showed up on panel or gave any other sign of being real. Storms at sea happen all the time, with or without divine instigation. In that feature, The gods weren't even ((mentioned)) all that much either.
- TL/DR: I think Djorg was just talking smack, and got lucky. Huck Foley (talk) 03:12, 19 February 2021 (UTC)
- Behind the scenes, as it's extremely vaguely defined on our website, can mean "their presence is implied though not explicitly shown". We've tended to phase out that terminology though, because I think most of us tend to agree with you that unless a character appears, they didn't appear.
- I see what the note is going for, and the circumstances, as that editor saw them, do seem trivia-worthy, but I think your interpretation makes more sense. I think it's probably fine to delete the text from the page. --Haroldrocks (talk) 03:36, 19 February 2021 (UTC)
- I'm always reluctant to delete stuff, but I might add a sentence's worth of context.Huck Foley (talk) 01:17, 20 February 2021 (UTC)
