History:

Thor is a God of Asgard, the son of Odin Allfather and heir to the throne of the Gods. When Midgard was new and its inhabitants more open to the possibilities of the universe the Gods and all manner of beings walked among them freely. However, as mankind grew in power and their belief in things beyond their comprehension waned, Odin decreed that all things from the Eight other Realms would leave Midgard to its own devices. 

In the time since then, individuals began to appear in Midgard with abilities to rival the gods themselves. Thor, Son of Odin demanded that Asgard open its gates and allow interaction with Midgard once again. When Odin refused, the younger God insisted that Odin was an old fool, out of touch with those around him. For his arrogance and disrespect Thor was immediately banished to Midgard where Odin felt he would learn more respect.

Thor arrived on Earth in 2014 and was immediately spotted by multiple forms of surveillance, many factions approached him but the first to get to him was Lexcorp. Lex Luthor himself approached the God of Thunder and offered to reacquaint him with the world. Within a few days Thor was operating on a global level, battling criminals both superpowered and on a street level. His bombastic attitude and easy charisma led to him quickly receiving popularity among the general public. Any damages were taken care of by Lexcorp and Lex himself made sure to regularly publicise Thor’s victories, involving himself involved in some capacity. 

Thor soon after was recruited into and present at the unveiling of the Justice League. 

In the years that followed, Thor divided his time between supporting his allies in the Justice League and fighting his own battles. The emergence of figures such as the Enchantress and Surtur has led Thor to believe that there are events going on in the Nine Realms that he isn’t aware of, but he finds the amount of events that are concentrated on Earth troubling.

Supporting Cast:

Odin All-Father - Thor's father and ruler of Asgard, currently out of contact due to Thor's status as exile. 

Loki - Thor's younger brother and fellow prince of Asgard, God of Mischief. The two are extremely close and Thor was always amused by Loki's antics. The two haven't seen each other since Thor's banishment.

The Justice League - Fellow members of the team Thor currently supports, funded by Lex Luthor.
*Potential to be expanded once JL roster is clear

Superman - Thor has kept up to date on Superman's exploits and has an appreciation for, as he calls it, the honourable hero. They have not yet met, however, he longs to test his Hammer against the Man of Steel, viewing him as a worthy challenge.
*Needs permission & clarification from @Morden Man, have they met, etc

Wonder Woman - Claiming a lineage nearly as great as Thor's own, Wonder Woman has held Thor's interest ever since he found out about her. They have not yet met given her declining the offer of membership in the Justice League. Thor also wonders about the validity of her claims, he is aware of the existence of other pantheons of Gods as well as his own, but knows not if her lineage is true or merely a play for attention.

Lex Luthor - One of the first residents of Midgard that Thor met; Luthor offered Thor a position on the Justice League which Thor eagerly accepted once he understood their purpose as defenders of the Earth. So far Luthor has done nothing to make Thor doubt his decision.

The Wrecking Crew - A group of four supervillains, given powers by Asgardian magic. Over the years the Wrecking Crew have followed a very familiar cycle—escape prison, fight and subsequently lose to superheroes, and return to prison. They are considered a joke by the superpowered community at large.

The Enchantress - Anora, a fellow Asgardian who Thor spurned years ago. Also an exile, she is a prominent spellcaster and has plagued Thor with many plots and schemes designed to force him back to her, ensure his death or to give the Enchantress even more power. A master of disguise and, having been in exile much longer than Thor, an understanding the mortal world far superior to his own.

Surtur – Master of his own realm, Surtur is foretold to lay waste to Asgard at the time of Ragnarok. Thor has clashed with him on Earth but fears his increasing appearances cannot bode well.

How (if at all) does the New Frontier version of your character differ from the original?:

This is a Thor who has only recently arrived on Midgard, he is still dealing with being an exile from Asgard and hasn't overcome the pride and arrogance that got him banished in the first place. Whereas the MCU was very coy about calling him a God, given the presence of other pantheons in this world, we're going to go with Thor being very much a God fallen to Earth. As a result, his understanding of many factors of life on earth is limited, he sees life as an epic quest (revolving around him) and hasn't really had time to stop and think.

In addition, Thor has not seen any Asgardians other than fellow exile the Enchantress. I'm not saying they aren't around, pulling strings, but this early in Thor's career I feel they work more as an unseen force rather than being heavily involved in stories. Not that this situation cannot change down the road.

There will be no human identity for this portrayal of Thor, at this point I don't feel it's needed in a world as big and full of heroes as this.
I would like to explore matters of belief, how different pantheons can coexist (if @Gowi is willing) and to make Thor a less serious character than he's been portrayed as in the comics recently. By focusing on what, for him, is an earlier time I think that all this is possible.
