In the Ultimate Marvel universe, Thorlief "Thor" Golmen is a fictional superhero based on the Marvel Universe version of Thor, who is the Asgardian God of Thunder and a founding member of the Ultimates.[1] Also known as "Ultimate Thor", Golmen is an anarchist who discovers he is the reincarnated form of the Norse warrior god Thor. The "Ultimate" redesign of the character reduces the number of Thor's powers, and reduces the character's reliance upon his hammer.[2] Perhaps most significantly, the Thunder God's long-established personality is drastically altered, changing him from an eager and willing divine combatant into an ecocentric, arguably unstable, and reluctant warrior.[3]

Adapted from Stan Lee and Jack Kirby's comic book version of Thor by Mark Millar and Bryan Hitch, in-turn based on the deity of the same name of Norse mythology, first appearing in The Ultimates.[4]
