The title character is Eric Kevin Masterson, a former architect, who, after a crippling fall, was cared for by the Norse god Thor. After that Masterson had become superpowers and he also has a special mace to aid him. The mace can be thrown any distance with great accuracy after which it returns to the bearer, and if Masterson holds on to it when thrown the slingshot effect allows him to fly. Initially, it was the mace that is called Thunderstrike.
