Norse gods don't have a "last name" technically, but referring to Thor as Odinson would be proper. It's not an invention of Marvel. Thor with no beard and blond hair is definitely the Marvel version!

"Surprised Gruenwald didn’t list it as Thoragus Thormas Thorodinson."

****

I'm too lazy to dig into my long boxes right now. But when Thor testified at Namor's trial during JB's run, didn't the court call him "Thor Odinson"?I could be misremembering.

The reference here is to Gruenie using his position as editor of OHOTMU to establish Black Bolt’s real name as Blackagar Boltagon, something he did without any consultation with the Fantastic Four editorial office.

I was furious when I saw it in print. Mark was, at heart, a DC guy, and there were few more blatant examples.

“Blackagar Boltagon”? I wonder how much time he invested in choosing
that?

It comes off to me as the name Black Bolt would invent if he was a 14 year
old ordering a fake i.d. — “Blackagar McLovin Boltagon— what a boss
name!”
