Sure, he couldn’t fly, but there was another way of getting attention: by becoming a strongman. The tenacious streak that has kept him doing it in the face of some tough was in place all those years ago when he took a swandive off that school roof. “We sell enough records and there’s enough demand that we’re doing pretty good.” “I figure if I make a million records and sell one copy of each, I have a million seller,” he says with a laugh. Remarkably, it’s his 20th album since he returned to rock’n’roll in the late 90s after a decade-long hiatus. His latest album, Alliance, features guest appearances from such fellow survivors as ex-WASP guitarist Chris Holmes and former Manowar axe-hero Ross ‘The Boss’ Friedman as well as famous acolytes Danko Jones and Soilwork singer Bjørn Strid. The golden locks and sculpted muscles are long gone, but the 68-year-old has a work ethic that would shame most much younger bands. There’s still something of the superhero about Thor today. He woke up with a crowd of kids around him. “I would change into Superman.” He discovered he wasn’t the Man Of Steel when he climbed onto a first-storey ledge on his school building and jumped off. “At recess, I would show it the other Grade 4 kids,” he says. His older sister even made a costume for him, which he wore under his school clothes. “I think I looked a lot like his boyfriend.”īack when he was just a young kid named Jon David Mikl growing up in leafy British Columbia in the late 50s and early 60s, Thor wanted to be Superman. I walked off the stage and he said, 'Very good Jon,’” says Thor.

As he rolls around on the floor with the exertion of inflating up this giant pink blimp, the look on the audience’s faces shift from bemusement to awe. He races around the stage in tight blue-and-white lycra briefs, golden hair gleaming and muscles aglow, as the in-house orchestra plays the Sweet’s Action! behind him. There’s footage of him blowing up a hot water bottle like a balloon on The Merv Griffin Show in 1976. I got knocked unconscious a few times, cos it’s so big it slaps you back… Boom, lights out.” You’re blowing it up and it’s getting bigger and bigger, like a blimp, and you’re holding it with your fingernails to not let the air out, and it doesn’t explode when you want it to.

“Oh, I never want to do it again,” says the professional body builder-turned-cult heavy metal singer of one of the many theatrical highlights of his gigs during the 70s and 80s.
