Thor’s Appearance:
In the comics, Thor is depicted as a handsome man with a beard and blonde hair. He is a very strong Asgardian with a large muscular body. Meanwhile, he has blue eyes and great stature, just like a god.
How tall is Comics’ Thor?
Thor is often described as large and strong in comics but not necessarily tall. He is a little taller than an average human who is very tall. The Marvel Encylopedia (2002) lists the height of mighty Thor as 6 feet and 6 inches. Thor’s increased height and weight are due to the high density of Asgardian bone and tissues, which are 3x dense than an average human being. This gives Asgardians superhuman strength as compared to humans. Even the weak Asgardian can easily lift 5-10 tons. Thor belonging to the warrior class, is especially strong and tall.
In comics, he is shorter than his father, Odin. However, he is taller than his evil brother Loki who stands at 6’4″. Hulk, the strongest and tallest Avenger, is 7-8 feet tall in comics. However, Bruce Banner, in his original state, is shorter than Thor at 5’8″. Alternatively, Steve Rogers, after injecting the serum, became Captain America and got a 98-pound weight. But his height remained the same, i.e. 6’2″. So he is shorter than Thor.
How tall is MCU Thor?
In MCU, Chris Hemsworth, the actor who played Thor is 6 feet and 3 inches tall. Despite the lack of 3 inches in height, Chris’s body and stature match the comics Thor; therefore, he was selected for this role. And his version of Thor gives off the impression of being taller than the actor himself.
Loki, an annoyance to his Godly brother, seems much smaller than Thor in movies. Whereas Tom Hiddleston, the actor, is 6’2″, i.e. only one inch short than Chris Hemsworth. In MCU, Thor is the second tallest Avenger after the mighty Hulk. Movies show that Hulk has grown a lot over the years. MCU Hulk is incredibly tall, standing at 20 feet. Whereas Chris Hemsworth as Thor is taller than Bruce Banner, played by actor Mark Ruffalo is 5’8″ tall.
