That's right--THOR!!

[BTW, as Golden Age logos go, that one is pretty rad...]
Our origin?
Thor, the God Of Thunder, is real...and far more awesome than that dude with hippie hair!
Yes, he can break lightning bolts!! Top that, Goldilocks!!
Of course, some things are the same...

Tune in later today for the most awesome Thor stunt EVER!!
Those are some awesome torso-twisting powers!
