Odin is one of those characters who has gotten a bit of a bum rap in recent years. So this is an appreciation thread for those who remember well, and yearn to see again, the halcyon days when the All-Wise, All-Father was a force to be reckoned with.
And since Avengers Endgame has just come out, let's kick it off with a tribute to the time that the Lord of Asgard faced off against the Mad Titan himself.
ODIN vs THANOS! [AND the Silver Surfer? Yowsa!]
SO BE IT!

If ten years of recording The Young and the Restless for my mother have taught me anything, it's that characters in serial dramas are always happily in love...until they're not

Some pages dealing with Odin getting the Odin-Power (forum rules say I can only post 3 pages from a comic so I've skipped a lot out).

and the birth of the Odinpower, and of the coming war.
And to help in the coming battle, Odin summons Beta Ray Bill back to Asgard.

Journey into Mystery #111 Dec 1964
Loki, the Cobra and Mr. Hyde are still up to no good in "The Power of the Thunder God!"
Thor battles the Cobra and Mr. Hyde while Jane Foster hovers close to death;
Odin's heart begins to soften towards Jane, thanks to the intervention of Balder;
Odin, in his infinite wisdom, commands Loki to deliver a message
to Hardol, the mystic healer, who lives beyond the molten chasm;
Loki has no choice but to obey but is waylaid by Balder and some other gods who, for some reason, distrust him.
Balder delivers the message himself while Thor defeats the Cobra and Hyde.
Script by Stan Lee, pencils by Jack Kirby, inks by Chic Stone

And it wasn’t just about Odin’s POWER either. He was just a damn good guy, as witnessed in the Trial of Reed Richards for saving Galactus.
You gotta love the reactions of Sue, Lilandra and Gladiator when they come face to face with the All-Father.

Remembering the happy time before it was decided that Odin and Frigga had a completely disfunctional relationship.

Thor #405 Jul 1989
"Odin Must Die!"
Annihilus tears his way through the Crimson Hawks, towards Odin. Thor and others stand in his way.
Odin then appears and, with little more than a gesture,
sends Annihilus screaming back from where he came.
Odin sends Thor to Earth through the Fantastic Four’s negative zone portal.

For me, the art by Keith Pollard in any marvel comic was always splendid with his sequential art a pleasure to behold. Originally Posted by brettc1
