Donald Blake

Donald Blake is the mild-mannered mortal alter ego through which the Asgardian god Thor walked the Earth, created by Odin to teach his son humility. By striking a wooden walking stick on the ground, Blake could transform into the mighty Thor.

A name deeply woven into the fabric of Marvel's Silver Age mythology, Donald Blake made his catalog debut in The Avengers #2 in 1963 — born from the legendary creative partnership of Stan Lee and Jack Kirby at the very height of Marvel's world-building ambitions. Over more than six decades of publishing history, this figure has kept extraordinary company, sharing pages with Thor, Loki, Odin, Jane Foster, and Thor Odinson across titles like Thor, Immortal Thor, and Jane Foster: The Saga of Valkyrie. With at least one key-issue appearance to his name and a presence that stretches all the way to 2026, Donald Blake is a character whose place in Marvel's mythological tapestry rewards curious collectors willing to dig in.
