Is Thor the character with the longest origin story? It didn’t ’conclude’ until Thor 158/159.

I have read Thor #120-159, and never got the feeling an origins story was ongoing the whole time.  Do you mean we just incrementally kept finding out additional things about Asgard?

Perhaps not the longest, but I was struck when I read the origin of the Juggernaut in X-Men #12-13.  Juggernaut is approaching the mansion, and the Professor activates all the defences of the grounds, but he fears it will not be enough.  He gathers the X-Men to tell them the origin of his evil brother…AND THEN WE ARE OUT OF PAGES, COME BACK NEXT ISSUE.
