"Thor Kid" is a character shrouded in mystery. Who is this child? What are they? How did they come to be on my userpage? Goldy will tell you.

Circa 2012, the height of The Avengers and the Marvel Cinematic Universe's popularity. Shopping chain Target, marketing on this popularity, set up a section of their website with special animation and appearance to sell Avengers merchandise. In it, four kids get struck by lightning and transform into Iron Man, Hulk, Captain America, and Thor.

I, for one, thought the face Thor makes to be hilarious.

So it basically became a "personal meme" of sorts. I used it and a handful of other images as exploitables to edit together to make... really actually not nearly as funny as I thought they were at the time pictures.

Anyway, seeing as this happened right during the tail end of my time actually being active around these parts, I added it to my userpage as an image that follows your scrolling, for no reason other than to be disruptive and obnoxious.
