Donald Blake
(PB: Charlie Hannam)
Deke Blake, President of the Valhallas motorcycle club in Aitkins, Minnesota, was a decorated Vietnam vet, who lost an eye in an ambush near Hue. His father was one of the original founders of the club in the fifties, bringing together his army buddies from the Second World War. Deke married late, in his late forties, and his son Donald was born in 1991. His wife died in a car accident several years later, leaving Deke to raise his son. Donald's childhood and young adulthood were unremarkable - he was simply just another kid, albeit one with attachments to the town's largest criminal organisation.
In 2011, Donald began acting strangely, lapsing into classical "heroic" speech patterns and displaying both incredible strength and invulnerability. Over time, it was revealed that Donald believed that he was Thor - the real, mythical Thor of legend, and that the new leader of rival motorcycle club and long-term enemies, the Sons of Hel, was Loki. Don believed that to regain his full godhood, he must defeat Loki's evil. He was frank with this belief, his family and the club, as well as girlfriend Sylvie Rushton catering to the delusion so as not to upset him.
After an incident in which he shrugged off being hit by a truck, Donald Blake came to the attention of Fred Duncan and the mutant-related crimes branch of the FBI. Garrison Kane and Abigail Brand were sent to Aitkins to investigate both Don and the club. When a blood test revealed that Don wasn't a mutant and Brand abandoned Garrison's obsessive pursuit of an apparent killer of the town, members of X-Force and the X-Men with personal experience of Asgard arrived to help.
During investigations and at a final showdown during which it was revealed Rushton was in fact the Enchantress, the truth of Don's history was revealed. Thor was expelled from Asgard as punishment by Odin, forced to grow up mortal again and relearn what it is to be a god. However, the Enchantress was able to track down his essence, and set about slowly working up her trap over the years, starting with an inverse geas around the whole area in case of any unfortunate interference. Once 'her' Thor started to unconsciously manifest, she brokered a deal with Loki that in return for an avataristic manifestation, she's take Thor out of interfering with his plans for Asgard forever. Loki agreed, and the avatar quickly became the leader of the Sons of Hel. Her plan was foiled by Garrison gunning down the Loki avatar and catching Thor's hammer as it was about to kill him, incurring severe injury, but creating a mystical backlash which freed the mutants from the Enchantress' spell. Donald Blake, however, ceased existing at that moment, and returned to his original being, Thor the Norse God of Thunder.
