Marvel's Avengers Game: Best Thor Character Builds Guide 1

What are the best Thor character builds in Marvel's Avengers? What are the best Specialty and Mastery skills for Thor? The god of thunder is the penultimate superhero you will gain access to in Marvel's Avengers, meaning you won't play as quite as much as you might like to in the campaign at least. There's still the Avenger's Initiative mode, however. Equipped with the trusty Mjolnir, Thor comes with lots of exciting abilities. His list of moves and abilities also allows for a character that can be taken in a couple of different ways. In this Marvel's Avengers game guide, we're going to reveal the best Thor character builds.
