    Thor, cuz' he has the power of thunder, and whenever I hear his name it reminds me of some cheesy 80s band.

    But do you know why Odin is missing one eye? He bound himself to the world-ash tree Yggdrasil and had his eye pecked out by his two ravens in order to gain inner sight. It doesn't get much more hardcore than that, except maybe at an Earth Crisis concert.

    What did Thor say the time when he pulled the muscles in his back? "I'm Mighty Thor!"

    Haha! I'm so cool.

    Actually, Odin traded his other eye in at the Well of Wisdom in exchange for a vast level of knowledge and suchlike. Huginn and Muninn (Thought and Memory, the two ravens) are used by Odin to scout the world, and they fly for nine days then return to tell him what they have seen.

    Odin is a cooler name. 'Thor' sounds like a caveman name. Yucky.

    I have to vote Odin. One of the most badass Summons In any of the FF games and wickid cool in norse mythology to boot.

    Dont tick off a god that can Kill every monster on screen.


    ..........But Bahamut still pwns him.

    *runs*

    You are a Black Mage, master of the Arcane you unleash total destruction on your enemys.

    You can keep your Little pea shooter and that over sized butter knife you call a sword. I have all I need with my black magic.

    Yea but mine sounds more badass. And I am fairly certain the basics of my story are "true" to the mythology as well.

    Probably a fair appraisal, none of us can say for certainty how things were told 1500 years ago. And yeah, it is pretty badass, I'll give you that...

    I have to agree even though both storys are cool. It doees sadden me a little i love norse mythology but i actuly dont know the anser to this so your guess is as good as mine. problem is there are meny version of "the truth" in norse Mythology. Perhaps this is becouse most of it was passed down through the ages via the oral tradition.

    He did both. Tied himself to the world tree *and* gave his eye to teh well of wisdom.
