10 Worst Parents In Marvel History
5. Odin
Technically, Odin isn’t a bad dad, but only if you judge it by mythology standards.
While it's not uncommon for Norse gods to be kind of awful to their kids, Odin crosses the line in his treatment of Thor, like the time he married his son's love interest, Jane Foster; or any of the times he fought him; or the time he wiped his memories and sent him - totally vulnerable to magical attackers - to Earth; or the second time he exiles him to Earth - after Thor is upset he almost destroyed Earth itself by one of his dad's weird schemes.
There's a number of comics that have a plot that is basically 'Odin is awful to Thor for minimal reasons', and although it's always interesting, it's also always kinda sad.
To be fair though, his Greek equivalent - Kronos – ate his kids, so by that standard Odin's doing pretty great.
