One key distinction is that Loki is not Thor's brother in Norse mythology. While Loki's relationship to the gods varies from story to story - thanks in part to his own slippery, shape-shifting nature - Loki is traditionally seen as Odin's step-brother, making him more Thor's uncle than a brother. Still, the two have been paired together in several stories, and the sibling dynamic is certainly present even if the blood relation is not.
While Thor's family tree shifts from source to source, there are quite a few interesting figures beyond the mercurial and manipulative Loki. One of the most important sons of Odin is Balder the Brave. In order to protect Balder, his mother Frigg demanded that literally everything in existence swear not to hurt him - everything except mistletoe, which apparently didn't get the memo somehow.
Of course, Loki hears of this and fashions a mistletoe-tipped spear, which he gives to the blind god Hodor, another brother of Thor, who unknowingly tosses the spear at Balder, killing him.
Hodor is slain by another god, Vali. After a chain of events, Balder is destined to remain in the underworld, until Ragnarok, the twilight of the gods, where he and Hodor will emerge, reconcile, and rule over a new world alongside the next generations of gods.
There are several other intriguing sons of Odin. Vidarr is a silent warrior who could give Snake-Eyes a run for his money. A half-giant like Loki, Vidarr will never the less avenge his father Odin's death by killing the wolf Fenrir with his strong shoe. There's also Tyr, the god of war, who sacrificed his arm to distract Fenrir when the gods first bound the monstrous wolf - only for Tyr to be devoured completely by the hellhound Garmr. Lastly, there is Hermod, the messenger god. Hermod rode Odin's eight-legged horse Sleipnir to retrieve Balder after his death.
Loki is Thor's adopted brother and the Asgardian god of mischief. In his younger years, he and Loki were very close and good friends, even if occasionally irritated by Loki's mischief. However, it is later revealed that Loki was often jealous of Thor even back then, and resented being left in his "shadow". Because of this, along with learning of his true origins, Loki became spiteful and angry, and turned against his step-father Odin, although it was long until Thor knew, because of his banishment to Midgard, as well as Loki's deliberate lying to him.
Thor and Loki's relationship later becomes complicated, marked by anger and confusion. Thor loves Loki and wished for him to return home so they could be a family again. However, he has become increasingly agitated with Loki, losing hope that he could be redeemed after he continues to try and subjugate innocent people. He still demonstrates at times that he does care for him, deep down, as he mourned him when he seemingly died at Kurse's hands. On Sakaar , Thor decided that because of their differences and distinct objectives in life, the best would be if they parted ways with each other.
This hurts Loki who, despite everything, also deeply loves his brother. Thor and Loki would eventually fully reconcile after the destruction of Asgard, but they are found by Thanos right after. Thanos had Thor at his mercy and tortured him to convince the god of mischief to hand the Tesseract , Loki is unable to watch his brother suffering and is brought close to tears. Loki gives the Tesseract to Thanos to stop his brother's torture, and a disappointed Thor calls him "the worst brother" for stealing and hiding the stone.
Despite this, Loki assures Thor that everything will eventually end well for them, stating that one day the sun will shine upon them again. In a final effort to protect his brother from Thanos, Loki still attempts to attack the Mad Titan right after finally recognizing himself as a son of Odin just like Thor. To Thor's horror, the attempt only results in Loki being killed before his eyes.
Having lost the only family he had left, Thor is devastated, he clings to Loki's lifeless body and cries. He then vows to kill Thanos for it. Odin is Thor's father and king of Asgard. He is a loving man to his sons, although firm. A wise leader, Odin is the reason why Mjolnir cannot be lifted by strength, and only worthiness. He felt guilty banishing Thor to Midgard, but felt the need to do so because his arrogance was unacceptable of a future king.
His relationship with his son remained bitter until Loki's failed attempt to conquer the Nine Realms. After that, their relationship was restored. Thor holds his father in high regard, believing that there is no wiser king or better father. Thor was very sadden by his father's death, and even grew angry, blaming Loki for stripping Odin of his powers and banishing him on Earth. Frigga is Thor's mother and queen of Asgard.
Like his father, Thor holds his mother in very high regard, and loves her very much. He was very heartbroken by her death, but trusted Loki for their late mother's sake. In , when Thor traveled back in time to Asgard to retrieve the Reality Stone, Thor saw his mother alive and well again.
This made him realize that he traveled to the moment before his mother is killed, causing him to cry. When Thor met with his mother who was well-aware that he was from the future, Thor broke down and embraced his mother.
Thor was then comforted by his mother over his trauma and the failures he endured which lifted his spirits and relieved him of his guilt. Thor accepted his mother's fate and shared one last goodbye with her before returning to his timeline with the Reality Stone.
Jane is Thor's love interest. She is an astrophysicist. Jane appeared in most Thor micro-episodes and in the films. In the films, she, along with Erik Selvig and her assistant Darcy, takes Thor to a hospital after he first lands in New Mexico after his banishment.
