Thor returned to Asgard to fend off an attack from his villainous brother Loki in today's Micro-Episode of "The Avengers: Earth's Mightiest Heroes!," but before he could burst forth in all his animated glory, the show's creators had to perfect his look. Now you can see those designs with our gallery of black and white lineart and final color art for the Mighty Thor.

While Thor currently fights by himself in "Earth's Mightiest Heroes!,:" he's remained an integral part of the Avengers comics since the group first formed more than 40 years ago. Now, in the latest installment of Earth's Mightiest Histories, we look back at the Thunderer's long history fighting alongside the likes of Captain America, Iron Man and more.

One of the founding Avengers, you could actually say the team wouldn't exist without Thor. It was, after all, one of Loki's plots against the Thunder God that brought the group together in the first place in AVENGERS Vol. 1 #1. Like the rest of the initial group, he would end his first tenure with the team in AVENGERS Vol. 1 #16, but he could never stay away for too long.

During his time with the Avengers, Thor's friendships with Captain America and Iron Man formed, relationships that comprise an important part of the Asgardian's life even to this day. Together with Cap and Iron Man, Thor stands as one of the central pillars of the Avengers.

During his various stints amongst Earth's Mightiest Heroes, Thor helped the team through major events such as the Kree-Skrull War in AVENGERS #89-97, the Acts of Vengeance storyline which pitted the Avengers against Loki once again, and the epic "Kang Dynasty" in AVENGERS Vol. 3 #41-55.

Though Thor distanced himself from the team following the events of the super human Civil War, he fought alongside the Avengers once more when Norman Osborn declared war on Asgard in SIEGE. After the events of that series, Thor once again joined the group, where he currently fights to save the world on a regular basis in the pages of AVENGERS Vol. 4, issue #6 on sale October 27.
