When Pandora reabsorbed said aspects back into herself, she effectively stopped the cycle and allowed the multiverse to flourish without this potential destruction looming over it.

"Lee in 2002 described Thor's genesis early in the Marvel pantheon, following the creation of the Hulk:
[H]ow do you make someone stronger than the strongest person? It finally came to me: Don't make him human — make him a god. I decided readers were already pretty familiar with the Greek and Roman gods. It might be fun to delve into the old Norse legends... Besides, I pictured Norse gods looking like Vikings of old, with the flowing beards, horned helmets, and battle clubs. ...Journey into Mystery needed a shot in the arm, so I picked Thor ... to headline the book. After writing an outline depicting the story and the characters I had in mind, I asked my brother, Larry, to write the script because I didn't have time. ...and it was only natural for me to assign the penciling to Jack Kirby..."
So I'm going to go ahead and follow the logic that the Hammer-wielding Asgardian Lightning-God called Thor was modeled after the Hammer-wielding Asgardian Lightning-God called Thor.
By the way, How many time lines does DC has?
Pandra merged three time lines with one.
But, I heared that each universe has divergent timelines.
H'el created countless time lines.
Didn't stan lee wanted to call thor, Super-God in the beginning? Also he has this Captain Marvel human-god thing going on, the red cape, flight strength etc. I think it was inspired by Thor from the norse myth, Captain Marvel (the transformation) and Superman.

WTF are you on.
as a name Marvel existed before DC http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Marvel_Mystery_Comics both companies and their creations have been around as long as each other.
The idea of one true god/supremem being predates any fiction ever written.
Manhattan is nothing like Strange, one is magic and one is science based and completely different power set. Never mind the fact that Dr Strange first appeared 18 years before Dr Manhattan was even a concept in the mind of Alan Moore.
Thor has very little in common with Superman.
Iron Man even less with Batman.
Superman himself was a copy of another character from a 1930 novel called Gladiator.
Namor's first appearance was two years before Aquaman (who appeared in 1941's More Fun Comics 73 while Namor appeared in who first appeared in the number one issue of the Marvel mystery comics I linked above in 39.
The fact is most of the comics creations you've mentioned weren't created by comics companies but by comics writers who worked for both companies but signed deals to get better payed that gave their creations to the parent company they created them for. Many were actually created by the same people for both
I hate it when people carry on as though any one publisher is better than the other on some creative stance. NONE of them do it any bloody differently.
MoD , Hourman 1 Million really isn't a reality warper. He was never shown (that I recall) using the full power of the Worlogog only the portion he kept of it. The only reality warping feats with it, I'm aware if required more and were performed by Extant
I'd give the second one to MXY.
As o the four way comes down to IMO Tao and Legion with Legion taking line honors (maybe close )
Eh, wikipedia? Here is Stan's interview as a whole.
If you think he was trying to make Thor stronger than Hulk, you might as well conclude that Thor was smarter than reed richards. Do you think that was the case?
Lulz.
