Superman | Comics

When his own birth planet Krypton was about to be doomed soon, Kal-El's parents Jor-El and Lara sent him to Earth on a rocket, in hopes that their civilization will live and reborn once again through Kal-El, who would successfully carry on their legacy to a new world. When his rocket landed on Earth, he was found and later raised by a kindly couple of Smallville, Kansas, Jonathan and Martha Kent. He became their adoptive son and unknown to his origin of birth Kal-El eventually became Clark Kent.

As he grows to his maturity, he slowly discovers that he has great powers and superior abilities within him which differentiate him from the fellow humans of Earth. He chooses to use his godly gifts to help the inhabitants of his adoptive planet and anyone in need, as the last son of Krypton became Superman, the Man of Steel, who fights for truth, justice and American way! Not only he is one of the most powerful beings in the universe but he also has a down to Earth attitude that makes him more human than anyone else.

Superman | Comics

Birthright
Clark created the Superman persona to maintain his own personal life while fighting the evil at the same time and making a difference with his unique abilities, with a costume designed by Martha Kent. He joins at the newspaper Daily Planet in Metropolis as a reporter alongside stubborn fellow reporter Lois Lane, naive photographer Jimmy Olsen and his editor Perry White. It is after his first public appearance as Superman, he came in conflict with Lex Luthor, who got jealous of the Man of Steel.

Clark starts investigating on Luthor about a corporate sabotage as he and Lois were invited for an interview session. Lex discovers that Superman has a weakness to green Kryptonite and creates mass hysteria of him being an alien invader who is here to conquer Earth. To back up this claim, he even staged a false Kryptonian invasion on Metropolis using his vast fortune and all the advanced tech he could get his hands on. Superman's unmatched bravery and ever so selfless act of heroism made people see through the deception and foil Luthor's plan.

Secret Origin
Back in his days from Smallville, Clark Kent was visited by Cosmic Boy, Lightning Lad and Saturn Girl of the Legion of Super-Heroes who took him to a tour to their time of the 30th Century. Moving to Metropolis afterwards the tour to future, to pursue a career of a reporter at Daily Planet helped him to conceal his secret identity from everyone while saving the world. Here, he encountered super-villain Metallo and Parasite, who really put his powers to the test but just like always with his greater goodness and unmatched strength, Superman saves the day and stands victorious.

Worlds Finest
His visit to Gotham City was followed by an encounter with Batman, whom he thought a criminal at first. Though it is still debatable if they first met when going up against the criminal Magpie, or when Deathstroke attempted to kill Bruce Wayne and the Crime Syndicate paid them a visit, it was truly a fortunate event for them both as years of fighting for justice these two became the best of friends. They were joined by the Amazon warrior Wonder Woman as they were chasing after Bizarro and Ra's al Ghul. As she joined their fold, they became The Trinity of superheroes of the world.

Justice League: Year One
Sometimes, the situation led to even global scale disasters which are more than Superman can handle alone. During an invasion of the alien Appellaxian race, this duo was aided by Aquaman, Flash, Green Lantern and Martian Manhunter, with whom they later formed the Justice League. These seven magnificent heroes became the biggest icons of hope to people and the champions of justice to all. Over the years of their adventure, many fellow superheroes joined the honorable rank of the League and made it greater than it ever was.

Most often, when the everyday super villains attempts to wreck havoc Superman is always there to save the day. His presence in Metropolis also introduced a number of influential super-criminals to step in and pose as a challenge to the Man of Steel. He faced challenges like Bloodsport, Chemo, Fearsome Five, Mister Mxyzptlk, Rampage and Silver Banshee in his career and successfully takes down each one of them. Among all of them, Lex Luthor became a recurring enemy for him.

Superman quickly came to know of an enemy from the planet Apokolips, known as the New God Darkseid, who had his eyes set on Earth to rule over. It was at that time, when Clark also came to know a being that calls herself Supergirl but later learned that she was actually from the Time Trapper's Pocket Universe. He encounters Eradicator and Mongul afterwards, with the former building Fortress of Solitude for him and the latter thrown him in an intergalactic battle arena known as Warworld.

As he was dying of cancer, Luthor fakes his death in a plane crush and then a young man came to claim himself as Luthor's son but was actually the villain in a new cloned body. A blast from Krypton came in the form of Brainiac, a Coluan scientist named Vril Dox who seeks to gather knowledge and collect worlds. Helming Warworld, Brainiac returns capturing Metron, then sends Draaga, Matrix Supergirl and Maxima to lead an invasion that Superman thwarted with help from the other heroes of Earth.

Death of Superman
A Kryptonian monstrosity called Doomsday emerges from a crushed shuttle beneath the surface and starts destroying everything on its sight. When confronted, it decimated the combined force of Blue Beetle, Booster Gold, Bloodwynd, Maxima, Fire, Ice and Green Lantern Guy Gardner. As it was heading toward Metropolis, Superman confronted it but the monster bested him in physical prowess. In a final attempt to stop his menace, Superman unleashed many powerful blows to put him down but then also collapsed from his severe injuries, finally dying in Lois' arms.

Clark Kent also went missing in action along with a hundred few other civilians following the incident, who died during the Doomsday battle. Superman was publicly given an honorable burial and his unexpected sudden death has devastated all of his friends and family alike. Around the same time four different individuals with somewhat similar appearance and abilities arrive at the scene, all claiming to be Superman. They were actually Cyborg Superman, Eradcator, Steel and Superboy, all of whom then slowly starts proceeding with revealing their true intentions.

Return of Superman
With efforts from The Eradicator, Superman actually revives in a regeneration matrix and then makes his return to the land of the living but remained slightly amnesiac. While he was still struggling to get a grip on his power, Cyborg Superman destroys Coast City, prompting him to face the villain with Superboy, Supergirl and Steel at his side. This confides Lois into believing that this one is the real deal. Green Lantern Hal Jordan also showed up to help them defeat Mongul and the power of Superman is restored later by The Eradicator.

Hunter/Prey
When a call for help from Apokolips reaches out to Earth, Superman goes in to investigate the source of the signal and find out that the abomination that killed him is back and the monster even defeated the dreaded Darkseid in duel after withstanding his powerful Omega Beams. As he and Darkseid worked together to defeat Cyborg Superman, the fight with Doomsday is taken to the planet of Calaton. With help from the hero Waverider, Superman sends the beast to a time just before everything ends.

Following the events of The Final Night, Lois Lane and Clark Kent finally reconciles by tying the knot which has been always getting delayed for various reasons. Superman was still powerless from his previous battle and without a sun in order to charge his body but he then regains his powers with help from the New Gods. Lex Luthor turns himself to the authority for his many criminal endeavors and Superman Revenge Squad is formed in the meantime by five of his old enemies.

Emperor Joker
After accidentally losing a bet to The Joker, Mister Mxyzptlk lost almost all of his power and the clown re-shaped the entire universe in his own twisted image. Everyone from JLA to Superman's worst enemies are changed and their roles are reversed. The Joker also kept torturing Batman and killing him over and over again, which finally gave Superman the idea to defeat the maniac. In the end, Joker lost the power, everything is reverting back to normal and The Spectre transferred the haunting memories from Batman to Joker.

President Luthor
Following his role in solving the crisis of Final Night, Luthor got very popular among everyday folks and then became the President of the United States, which seriously upsets Superman. In an attempt to learn the true history of Krypton, he travels to the Phantom Zone back in time with Lois but they are forced to return with their pet, Krypto, when the erratic Kryptonian General Zod starts wrecking havoc. Krypto becomes too powerful under Earth's sun and he almost killed Mongul, leading Superman to take him to his Fortress.

The Elite
A new band of Meta-Human superheroes called the Elite enters the scene of super crime-fighting that starts enforcing justice worldwide with extreme measures. They do not share the same vision as big-blue while fighting crime and in an encounter with Superman, things got rough. This led to a stand-off, where Coldcast, The Hat, Menagerie and their telepathic leader Manchester Black did a number on him. Ultimately, Superman had to show them the fault in their ways by fighting them in their own brutal manner.

Our Worlds at War
A while ago, Mongul came to Earth seeking help from Superman to stop the impeding threat of the cosmic being Imperiex and then Eradicator returns to warn everyone about the same threat. Luthor forms an uneasy alliance with Darkseid so that the forces of Apokolips can help Earth fight the armada of Imperiex probes. The Justice League, Justice Society and Young Justice take a stand only to fail miserably against the invading force. Steel and a newly-reformed Suicide Squad is sent to the Watchtower to revive Doomsday but the monster savagely beat down everyone.

Luthor also hired Manchester Black for his powerful telepathic abilities to brainwash Doomsday into fighting alongside Superman against the invasion of Imperiex. The behemoth did so and he eventually perished into the battle after inflicting heavy damage onto the invading armada. With the sacrifice of Strange Visitor, the threat is finally thwarted but then Brainiac 13 arrives to take its power. At the end of the war, Luthor handed over Doomsday to Darkseid as payment for his debt during the war.

Ending Battle
Manchester Black eventually makes a return to test his buddy Superman's limits by endangering the life of people he cared about most. He even sent The Elite to kill President Luthor and then Superman had to face Cyborg Superman after fighting The Elite. Black then assembled a team of mind-controlled super-villains like Atomic Skull, Bizarro, Evil Star, King Shark, Master Jailer, Metallo, Mongul, Neutron and Silver Banshee to beat down the Man of Steel but that plan also failed in the end.

At one point, Black even tricked him into believing that he killed Lois Lane in his absence so that Superman would finally loose his cool and try to kill him in retaliation by breaking out of his mild mannered shell. Instead, Superman holds back his own after seeing the lying corpse of Lois and promises to continue his never ending battle forever to honor her memory. Realizing his defeat, Manchester then erased the memory of Luthor regarding Superman's identity and then killed himself to end his nonsensical game.

For Tomorrow
After a trip from space with Kyle Rayner, Superman returns to Earth to discover that one million people have suddenly gone missing, including his wife Lois Lane. Calling it the "Vanishing", he goes to the Middle East to investigate the source of this catastrophic event. There he faced a meta-human being named Equus, who was fighting for the tyrannical General Nox and found a machine that caused the "Vanishing". This time, the device vanishes another three thousand people after being used by Equus.

Superman brings the device to his Fortress of Solitude with an intent to use it on him so that he can find Lois Lane by going inside of  the "Vanishing". Realizing this at the last moment, Batman sends Wonder Woman to stop him immediately and following an intense battle among the two, Superman manages to get on the other side. He finds Lois alive and well in there but is soon haunted by the presence of Equus and his new master, General Zod. After defeating Zod in a combat, Superman successfully brings everyone back to Earth safe and sound.

Supergirl From Krypton
When an incoming Kryptonite meteorite was heading towards Earth, Superman was held responsible and Batman aided him to get out of this mess. Declared as "Public Enemies", this two survived a massive onslaught of heroes and villains alike and then stopped the asteroid in space. However, chunks of remaining pieces were scattered into the ocean beds. So, they starts doing the clean-up and then Batman find a Kryptonian rocket that brought Superman's cousin Kara Zor-El to Earth.

Batman's still skeptical about her origin while Wonder Woman takes her to Themyscira to train her for battle. Eventually, Darkseid sends an army of Doomsday clones to invade Paradise Island and kidnaps Kara. With help from Big Barda, The Trinity travels to Apokolips. There, Wonder Woman and Barda fights the Female Furies, Superman tries to resonate with a brain-washed Kara and Batman successfully blackmails Darkseid to give Kara up. Back on Earth, Kara decides to take the mantle of Supergirl and follow her cousin's footstep of being a hero.

Sacrifice
Superman is under the impression that he has just fought Brainiac, whereas the Justice League informed him that he actually beaten Batman to near death. It was discovered that he was manipulated by Maxwell Lord and when Wonder Woman confronted him, he refuses to let the big-blue go free without him being killed. As Max took over the mind of Man of Steel, he gave Diana a tough beat-down to even stand against him. To free her close friend from Max Lord's control, Diana snaps his neck.

Infinite Crisis
In search for his "Perfect Earth", Alexander Luthor Jr. of Earth-Three comes to New Earth and employs the Secret Society of Super-Villains to keep the heroes of this world busy battling. Kal-L of Earth-Two gets into a fight with Superman of this world, as the former believed that the latter is the one responsible for the death of his wife Lois Lane. Superboy-Prime suddenly attacks Superboy of New Earth and their battle led to the death of many other heroes of Teen Titans as well as Superboy himself in the end.

Metropolis becomes a warzone with every super-villains rampaging on it and then Doomsday was released amidst the chaos but was subdued by the Supermans. Superboy-Prime decides to destroy this whole universe and then files to Oa. Many members of the Green Lantern Corps died trying to stop the maniac until Superman of two Earths finally takes him away to neutralize with help from the red sun. Prime is taken to custody by the Corps, Superman of Earth-Two dies and Clark Kent remains powerless after the battle.

Last Son
A ship arrived in Metropolis with a boy, possibly from Krypton, whom Lois and Clark decided to adopt as their son after naming him Christopher. Keeping an eye on it, Luthor sends Bizarro to retrieve the boy for him. Turns out, the boy's real name is Lor-Zod and he is the biological son of General Zod. Many of the criminals from Phantom Zone is released and Superman is trapped in it. Lex Luthor formed the Superman Revenge Squad with Bizarro, Parasite and Metallo to help his nemesis save the day.

Brainiac
Upon confronting a drone of Brainiac, Superman realized that he never truly fought the villain. Instead, he always encountered many of his probes all the time. Because of her memories of the menace Kandor, Supergirl is actually afraid of Brainiac. As he attempt to thwart one of Brainiac's invasion on a planet, Superman ends up getting captured and discovers Kandor along with many other bottled cities. Their fight reaches Earth and the villain is easily defeated before delivering one last blow to the Man of Steel.

Thor | Comics

He is the son of Odin Alfather and elder goddess Gaea, he is the God of Thunder, Thor, whose power is derived from both Asgard and Midgard. He was born in Norway and then was taken to the mystical realm of Asgard to be raised by his wife Frigga with his step brother, Loki; the God of Mischief, who was always jealous of Thor since childhood. Thor was presented with an uru hammer of lightning called Mjolnir by Odin who declared him to be the greatest warrior of Asgard, after his years of training to be a worthy Asgardian champion and countless of his heroic deeds.

God of Thunder
Thor and his becoming the God of Thunder have many fabled tales on Asgard and to it's people. One of them suggests that there was another Thor before him. In years to come, Thor came to Midgard on several occasions and saved Earth from many major catastrophes, even from an alien invasion but it was his half-brother Loki, the God of Mischief who troubled the God of Thunder the most throughout his entire life. Other than that, he also fought the Frost Giants of Jotunheim and many other powerful deities from nine realms who opposed him in fight as well.

The Apocalypse Twins
He came in contact with eternal mutant Apocalypse during 11th Century AD, when the tyrant attacked him in a bar to remove a potential obstacle from way of his future plans. Just because En Sabah Nur was wearing a Celestial armor, he was able to repeal retaliation from Odinson. Seeing Jarnbjorn unable to pierce the armor of his opponent, he seeks help from Odin but didn't get any. With knowledge provided by Kang the Conqueror disguised as his brother Loki, Thor was able to best Nur at his own game with ease. History suggests that Thor have had encounter with En Sabah Nur more than once in his lifetime.

Thor | Comics

Avengers Assemble
During an attempt to get back at his brother, Loki caused an illusion for Hulk to go on a rampage and it got over on news. To prevent one of his brother's evil schemes, Thor joined forces with a band of Ant-Man, The Wasp, Incredible Hulk and Iron Man and together they formed the heroic team of superheroes known as The Avengers after defeating his brother and thwarting his mischievous plan. He remained a valuable member of the team and fought many legendary battles alongside other heroes, also forming a great friendship with fellow teammate Captain America and Iron Man as well as other team members.

Ragnarok
Thor would come across a cybernetically-enhanced Korbinite warrior named Beta Ray Bill who turns out to be worthy of wielding his mighty hammer Mjolnir. Bill's birth-planet was ravaged by Surtur and his army of Fire Demons and Odin forged him another Uru hammer called Stormbreaker. When Asgardian goddess of death Hela returns to attack on Asgard, Thor had a confrontation with her in Hel and he is greatly wounded as a result of their fight but he figured out a way to defeat her. Odin then disappeared fighting Surtur and Balder the Brave was made the new ruler of Asgard when he refused to assume leadership.

Onslaught Saga
On Earth, Odinson assumed the identity of Donald Blake and fell for nurse Jane Foster but his constant swapping of persona into Thor and Blake slowly starts driving him crazy. Adam Warlock and Doctor Strange helped him regain his sanity from this madness to get back at his feet. Meanwhile, Odin planned on avoiding Ragnarok cycle forever by reverting all Asgardians into mortals. During his confrontation with psionic energy constructed evil being Onslaught, Thor successfully managed to separate Professor Xavier from it by using brute force but also released from its armor into a psionic form.

Heroes Reborn
Later he was transported to another pocket dimension with other heroes when heroes of Avengers and Fantastic Four decided to sacrifice themselves in order to permanently stop Onslaught, only to be revived by Alpha-Level Mutant, Franklin Richards. After spending over more than a year on that pocket-universe, Thor would return to Earth and continue his journey as a god on Midgard but in his fight with Destroyer, Odinson was killed. Odin's secret messenger Marnot eventually revived him with a new identity of a paramedic named Jake Olson who died during his battle with Destroyer (In Search of the Gods).

The Dark Gods
In times, Thor also went to Asgard to help saving it on several occasions from its enemies but mostly to check on his own family and friends there. In one of his trips after getting back from Counter-Earth, he finds out that his father Odin was captured and Asgard was in ruins by the long-forgotten return of the Dark Gods. When he tried to face one of them called Perrikus, Odinson was reverted back to the form of Jake Olson and lost possession over Mjolnir. Taking aid from Hercules and the Destroyer, Thor fights back at them and finally banishes all of the Dark Gods from Asgard.

Thor Vs. Thanos
In his insane quest for greater power to destroy the universe, The Mad Titan; Thanos has finally reached Asgard, defeated The Warriors Three and then left it in ruins looking for an ancient artifact of immense power. He even forced Odin to reveal the location of that item which will lead him to the rest of the artifacts scattered throughout the universe. Then his servant, the monstrous beast known as Mangog savagely beats Thor senseless and leaves him behind. Aided by Galactus' former herald Firelord and the Rigellian Recorder, Thor heads to the distant part of the universe to confront Thanos and stop him for good.

Final Ragnarok
Upon Thor receiving a grave physical injury, Odin separated Jake Olson's persona from him for quick recovery. Meanwhile, Jake can go back to his civilian life as people around him were getting really suspicious. Also, Surtur emerges once again and Odin was lost too after battling the fiery demon. By receiving the Odinpower, Thor now became more powerful but his connection to humanity slowly starts to wear off as he no longer stayed in touch with Jake Olson. Odinson became arrogant and attempts to overthrow the government of Slokovia against the wishes of his fellow Avengers (Avengers: Standoff).

Because of these actions, Thor became unworthy of wielding Mjolnir and he even ended up marrying the villainous Enchantress at one point, with whom he even had a son named Magni. Loki and Surtur plans of bringing another Ragnarok that he needs to stop before it's too late. It all ended when he finally confronted Those Who Sit Above in Shadow, a group of higher-gods who has been manipulating Asgard to repeat the cycle of Ragnarok for many centuries. He destroyed them all after refusing the offer of joining their ranks and then remained there with memories of Midgard after fulfilling his father's plan.

Rebirth
It was some time after the events of superhero Civil War was ended, when Mjolnir drops on Earth upon freeing a damned Doctor Doom from his imprisonment in Hell. Donald Blake picked it up and Thor was brought back once again from void into the realm of living. He was infuriated at his former teammate Iron Man for creating an abomination of his own personality by cloning him, which committed murder of another known hero. Thor then brought back Asgard's on the land of Oklahoma and started looking for lost Asgardians. He eventually gathered his friend Heimdall, The Warriors Three and Loki in a female form.

Secret Invasion
Beta Ray Bill was pulled out of limbo dimension and a Super-Skrull has surprisingly wielded his Stormbreaker hammer while Skrulls were leading an invasion worldwide. Thor decimated the invading Skrulls by dropping all of Asgard on them and then quickly joined The Avengers in battle on Earth to repeal this invasive aggression. Though he was pretty instrumental turning tides of the battle against the enemy, he was forced to take down his former comrade Wasp when she was turned into a weapon to destroy Earth as one of their contingency plans and with her fall, they eventually defeated all Skrulls.

Loki went back in his past to met Odin's father Bor, then brought him to present time and tricked him into believing that he is now surrounded by hostile enemies all around. This made Bor go into a frenzy and Thor had to put an end to this madness by making the tough decision. This made Balder the Brave banish him from Asgard and the trickster then arranged for Asgard to move to Latveria. The plot of Loki and Doom would reveal a horrible secret later, which involves many Asgardian lives and Thor would return to settle his scores with them both as well (Latverian Prometheus).

Siege
Lunatic psychopath Norman Osborn has rose to power after successfully killing the Skrull Queen during "Secret Invesion" and New Avengers went into hiding as he was made head of national security. He eventually led a Siege of Asgard with his Thunderbolts team upon convincing the President of United States by falsely staging an incident to make them look very bad in public eye. In a last ditch attempt to win, Osborn ordered The Sentry to destroy all of Asgard, who already killed Ares; God of War by then. As Thor confronts Sentry, the latter starts losing control over his immense power and unleashed the Void.

Loki ultimately sacrificed himself to give the assembled heroes a fighting chance before being perished by Void. In the aftermath of that battle, Thor rejoins The Avengers as it reformed again by Steve Rogers and his exile from Asgard were also lifted. Loki is reborn as an amnesiac child without his memories of the past and Odin was also brought back to life (World Eaters). Everyone at Asgard still hated Loki and some of them even attempted to kill him while they could. It was Thor who always stood by the young boy's side, causing him to idolize his elder brother and have respect for him.

Fear Itself
Red Skull's daughter Sin has located Hammer of Skadi in Antarctica and freed Asgardian God of Fear; The Serpent by lifting it. Sensing this, Odin decided to raze Midgard to contain the Serpent and his threat of ever reaching Asgard, which led to a verbal disagreement with his son. Thor battled a transformed Hulk and Thing as Serpent's Worthy Nul and Angrir respectively. He took down Angrir with lethal force and seeing that he cannot defeat Nul, Thor sends him flying to the upper orbit. In his last stand, Thor killed the Serpent with the fabled Odinsword called Ragnarok and fell into his demise.

Shattered Heroes
In absence of Thor, Odin and his fellow Asgardians mourn his death but a new, self-proclaimed God of Thunder emerges from his burning corpse, who goes by the name Tanarus. He appeared to all as a hero and a long-time Avenger yet, aside from Loki, no one seems to realize that he hasn't always been around. Odin laments on his century-long effort to avoid the prophecy of Thor's death was in vein and he leaves Asgard to rule by the All-Mother. With Loki's recruiting of Silver Surfer and Donald Blake's help, Thor managed escape afterlife and returned to his title.

Avengers vs. X-Men
As Thor came back from dead, he was called upon by his Avenger buddies when Nova arrives on Earth with a warning of the return of Phoenix Force. He fought alongside his teammates against the X-Men in Utopia and then heads to space to confront Phoenix but was severely injured in the confrontation. Then Iron Man's attempt to vanquish the entity leads into the creation of "Phoenix Five", whom he also fought hard as long as he could. Afterwards, Thor was picked by his comrade Captain America to join his new team of Uncanny Avengers comprised of human and mutant superheroes.

The God Butcher
Many years ago, Thor found the decapitated head on the shores of Iceland, which belonged to an American God but the killer was not found. Then recently, he realized that the inhabitants of Indigarr do not have their own gods and his investigation led him to the discovery of a room full of century-old slain corpses of Indigarr gods inside the Sky Castle. As soon as is attacked by a shadow hound, he figured this is the handiwork of Gorr, The God Butcher. Gorr once engaged Thor in combat and even torture him to know about other gods but was blown away in the past and now he has returned.

Godbomb
Because of his own personal tragedies, the creature known as Gorr became The God Butcher and over the course of millennium, he dedicated his life to kill all of them. In a distant future, he even slain every Asgardians sans Thor to face him in a final battle and so far, he is the only god who has survived Gorr for several times. Following his trail, the present day Thor ends up arriving on that future where his older self was the only one left by Gorr. Now, together they must oppose the villain from eradicating all gods with a bomb.

Original Sin
Uatu the Watcher was found dead on the moon and The Avengers tagged him along to go on an investigation. Uatu's eye exploded and many heroes present there were exposed of their darkest secrets. Thor learns about a Tenth Realm where his long-lost sister Angela lived but since she was raised to hate Asgardians, Odin had to step in. Afterwards, while giving chase to Nick Fury and his LMD's, he reveals to Thor that Gorr was right about all gods being selfish and unworthy. With that knowledge, he lost command over his trusty Mjolnir and only left with his axe Jarnbjorn.

Not only did he lose Mjolnir for his self-doubt, he also turned evil after Scarlet Witch's inversion spell on Red Skull went wrong and sided with the similar minded heroes (AXIS). He tried to reclaim his hammer once again but failed and then his left arm was cut off by Malekith in a bettle only to be replaced with a Black Uru arm prosthetic. Soon, Odinson finds out that Jane Foster has recently proven herself worthy to lift Mjolnir and she became the new Thor. After a brief bantering among themselves, these two eventually joined forces to take down the army of Frost Giants.

Time Runs Out
As Multiverse was heading towards its impending doom, Odinson decided to help Sunspot's team of  Avengers to find a way and stop the inversion somehow. At this time, he got his hands on the Mjolnir of a Thor from another world and he used it well against the Black Priests. He and his teammates discovered a rift in time and space, where they met with two Beyonders. The confrontation of these two parties cost the lives of Abyss. Ex Nihili and Star Brand to deal with them. Then a wave of these near omnipotent alien race hits Hyperion and Odinson, who died battling side by side with honor.
