Thor's relationship with other pantheon's thunder gods
Once thing I am curious about is Thor's relationship with other pantheon's thunder gods- such as Slavic counterpart Perun( it seems curious that the Asgardian Avenger has encountered Shango, but not Perun- esp as Russia is closer to Scandinavia than Africa is- and as Donar, he was worshipped by the ancestors of the present day Germans just as Perun was by the ancient Slavs and Balts( the latter called him Perkunas)?

Re: Thor's relationship with other pantheon's thunder gods
Thor has fought Lear and they became allies. But I'm not sure if Marvel depicted Lear as a Celtic thunder god or Hyperborean.

Oh definitely Celtic-the first time they meet, Leir rages on about the Vikings ravaging his native Ireland!

Thor fought a human agent of a Native American storm god who was supposedly channeling the god's powers in Captain America a few years ago. Thor just flat-out trumped the Native American god's power.

They need a new Electric Company.
