Looks like Dumb Stan Lee got his material of Thor from the Vikings. I like how these people treated women a lot better than other civilizations. I didn't realize how much the Vikings influenced the world. I wonder why the gaming/fantasy world is so attracted to the Vikings. I saw so many references to them, like runes, for example. And I'm not even a huge or moderate gamer. The berserkers are so wild. I didn't know they were a real thing. And speaking of Thing, we also got that word from them too. Who inhabited the north lands before the Vikings?
