one of the the beardy thor fangirls lol, wheres Kitty when you need her. You could be like fangirl power twins.
Personally i prefer the look of ultimate but the characetr of 616. Thor's a viking warrior he needs a beard at all times.
Thor in the Ultimate U was treated even more inconsistently than 616 Thor in regard to power level, history, abilities. The current Ultimate Thor does not even have any power save for technology given to him by Stark. I liked him in the Millar run but he took a 2 right after that was all said and done. The mini-was interesting.
616 Thor all the way, though I do find the environmentalist angle from the Ultimate version interesting. Being a son of Gaea and having such a strong mystical connection to the Earth (based on his magical abilities), I personally would think he would care about the environment and would possess a certain amount of enmity toward polluters. It adds a bit of nuance to his character, rather than him just having unadulterated love for all things human.
616 Thor without a doubt, been one of my favorite characters since I first started reading comics, um... a very long time ago, lol! I have read the Ultimate Thor tpb and dug the concept and have absolutely no problem wrapping my brain around alternate universe storylines and being able to keep them separate.
