This is not correct, according to the Official Handbook of the Marvel Universe.
True immortality, one of the three ‘omnis’, some kind of divine link to their worshippers - any of the above, really. Now, of course, Thor and the Asgardians have had a couple of ‘Ragna-reboots’ in the past ten years - so their current status may fit this definition, but when the Asgardians were first quantified, and up to the 90’s, they were emphatically not gods.

LOL, I think I prefer the Marvel Thor 
Don’t think he did describe himself. The Asgardians were seen as gods by the humans on Earth and he has “superpowers” when he’s on earth, or in any of the other realms - unless he’s stripped of them by Odin
I read somewhere that the line between science and magic is time. If you were able to go back in time and use a digital camera to take photos you could well be burned at the stake as a witch for your ‘magic’.
Yet another reason not to time travel!!
My take is that the Asgardians are from another dimension and are sufficiently advanced (or were, when they first came to earth) to be seen as gods by the natives. to us more sophisticated types, he’s a cute guy with a big

Here you go : Marvel.com’s official entry for the races of Asgard. Thor’s people are referred to as ‘the Gods’ as opposed to ‘the Giants’ or ‘the Dwarves’. It notes that they are not immortal, have no active worshipers, and do not seek worshipers. So they are, at best, Gods in name only - no more divine than the Giants, Elves, or Dwarves.
Way I see it, if Marvel’s Thor, Odin, Loki, Syf etc are the same beings who were worshipped by the Norse (rather than other beings using the same names) that makes them the Norse Gods. That they are also super-powered extra-dimensional beings isn’t really pertinent to that issue.
This doesn’t really address the OP’s question.
But the explanation in CandidGamera’s post is correct, in that they are from another dimension (each of the Nine Worlds is a different dimension) and, thus, aliens. And they consider themselves Asgardians, it’s humans who (used to) worship them as gods; the Asgardians themselves don’t care whether we call them gods or hey dude so long as we do what they want.
Except for Thor and Loki, the Asgardians don’t care if humans do what they want. And Thor only wants humanity not to get itself destroyed.
The Asgardian gods in the Marvel universe are too entertwined with the human race’s mythology and related mythological races on a base level to really be considered (IMO) “aliens” in the classic sense.
No, it addresses the subsequent discussion. The OP’s question has been thoroughly answered already.
Don’t tell that to all the Asgardians who came to Midgaard during the Ancient Winters cycle… specially to Volstagg, who might sit on you in a fit of despondency.
They don’t care what humanity does, but when Volstagg wants a hundred burgers, Volstagg wants a hundred burgers damnit and those servers aren’t from Niffleheim.
I believe it is also important to speak King James English.
Forsooth!
Your opinion notwithstanding, they fit the paradigm of aliens more than that of divine beings. They’re not even particularly godlike aliens.
I agree with the forthright flying space turtle. There are quite a number of beings in the Marvel Universe who have much greater powers than do the Asgardians (or Æsir). Galactus is the first I can think of off hand, but there are quite a number of noncorporeal beings like Eternity that are even more powerful.
Could Thor impregnate a human woman? If so, would her child be at all “godlike”? If the answer would be different for the comics and the movies, do tell.
It’s a comic book. Trees can impregnate human women.
The answers are “Yes,” and “Probably”.
You beat me to it, but I second the recommendation (the story was also expanded into a graphic novel called “The Life Eaters”)
