thunder gods
Lightning-wielding divine beings
Thunder gods are deities associated with storms, lightning, and thunder across world mythologies.
Zeus in Greek tradition, Thor in Norse, Indra in Hindu, and Raijin in Japanese all command the sky's most dramatic phenomena.
These figures typically embody power, wrath, and masculine strength: Thor's hammer Mjolnir channels the thunder god's might.
The archetype persists in modern fiction and comics.
