In Scandinavian (Norse) mythology, the old woman who could defeat Thor was known as Elli. She was one of the servants of Utgarda-Loki living in Jotunheim, the land of the giant. Thor was the god of thunder, and thus the god of might and war. The son of Odin, he had a magical hammer named Mjollnir that returned to him, a belt of strength, and iron gloves. This illustration dates to 1913.

RM2B029GK–Odin (from Old Norse Óðinn) is a major god in Norse mythology, the Allfather of the gods, and the ruler of Asgard. His role, like that of many of the Norse gods, is complex. Odin is a principal member of the Æsir (the major group of the Norse pantheon) and is associated with war, battle, victory and death, but also wisdom, Shamanism, magic, poetry, prophecy, and the hunt. Odin has many sons, the most famous of whom is the thunder god Thor. Wednesday is the unified form of Woden's day as most days of the week are named after the Norse Gods.
