Origin
When Zarrko tricked the Thor of the future, Dargo Ktor, to travel to the past in order to combat the Thor of the present, Eric Masterson, the fighting brought another hammer wielder, Beta Ray Bill, to Earth. Beta Ray stopped the senseless violence between the two, and together, they formed the Thor Corps. Reluctant to aid the others, Masterson quickly decided to help Dargo and Bill stop Zarrko's mad scheme to become the undisputed master of time, and the three “Hammer Brothers”, as Beta Ray called them, made their way to Zarrko's ship. There they were tested against various enemies from the collective pasts, presents and futures of the Thunder god. Foes such as the King Cobra, Mercurio, the 4-D Man, Demonstaff, Skurge the Executioner, and Loki were pulled from the time stream by Zarrko to halt the progress of the Thor Corps. However, Loki, unwilling to be controlled like the others, turned on Zarrko and was ultimately responsible for his downfall. Beta Ray Bill used Zarrko's technology to return each of the heroes to their respective time lines before Zarrko's ship exploded. (Mighty Thor v1 #441)

They served God Emperor Doom without question. (Secret Wars v1 #2)
A group of Thors later pursued the Cabal and confronted Thanos. (Secret Wars v1 #3)
