Because he is the most Iconic example to use of course.
How would you guys do/create a Thor-like comic character ??
Incarnate ?
Avatar ?
Spirit Patron ?
Other ?? Something new perhaps ??
Basicly, in the Vain of Thor, Thunderstrike, Bloodaxe, Bloodwraith, etc... Heroes or Villians who are empowered through a Mystic Weapon which grants them powers through its use. There may be certain conditions that exist for someone to be elegable to possess the power (like being Worthy, magic words being known, etc..) that the weapon will grant.
Usally the weapon will grant all of its abilities and powers to the user. Some however will have to learn how their weapon works and uncover its abilities and powers on their own (like Thunderstrike had to). The all-at-once method gives a character all their weapon will grant at once, and might be very expensive in starting costs to have. The learn as you go method, gives a character a chance to grow in power and build up their character's abilities and powers over time which could mean, spending XP on new powers later on.
Mystic Weapon weilders ?? Opinions ??
btw...Everyone needs to checkout the new Thor comics. His return was pretty good.
