Buffy The Vampire Slayer

Thor

The case for him: A former member of the Avengers, Thor is the physical embodiment of the Norse God of Thunder. He has super-strength, the ability to control the weather and can fly via the use of his mystic hammer Mjolnir. When he taps his hammer to the ground, he reverts to his mortal guise of Dr. Donald Blake. Thor inexplicably has a tendency to speak in ’Olde English’ even though he’s of Nordic descent. - Elliott Serrano, RedEye’s "Geek To Me" columnist
