Female Thor and Unworthy Thor (spoilers)
Nick Fury gains the powers of Watcher. In order to disarm Thor he walks up to Thor whispers to him. The whisper is enough to cause doubt in Thor and he suddenly finds himself unable to hold up his Hammer. A woman then comes and picks up the hammer to become the new female Thor. This woman is later revealed to be Jane Foster. Jane is dying from cancer in part from her transformation into Thor. Jane serves on the Avengers as Thor. Thor now goes by Odinson as he feels he is unworthy of his own namesake. Odinson begins to use his magic axe instead of his hammer but the depowered Odinson is quickly attacked by his old enemy Malekith. Malekith cuts off one of Odinson's arms and keeps it as a trophy. Odin has Thor provided with a new arm made of Uru metal.
Thor learns of another Hammer in the universe and sets out to retrieve it against others who would choose to use it for themselves. He is aided in his quest by Beta Ray Bill. During the story Thor finally reveals what Nick Fury whispered said to cause doubt about his worthiness. Nick Fury said,
"Gorr was right"
Gorr was a villain called the God Butcher who died in battle with Thor. Gorr's main point was that all gods were bad and that they took credit for things they did not do and in the end would cause more harm than help. By saying Gorr was right it seemed to cause enough doubt to seep into Thor's mind that he was no longer worthy to hold his hammer. Thor comes to the conclusion that he no longer requires the other Hammer from the Ultimate Universe who leaves it to a mysterious character who called himself War Thor.

Powers:
Thor is very powerful, and has knocked out and beaten powerful opponents such as the Silver Surfer and the Gladiator. Generally, battles with the Hulk and Thor end in a standstill. At times he has been shown to have the use of the full powers of Odin (Called the Odin Force) making him literally god like.
Strength - Thor is considered the strongest of all the Asgardians. The average Asgardian is said to be able to lift up to 30 tons. Thor's limit of strength is not clear but it is clearly far above 30 tons. His feats of strength are insane. Thor's full strength punch is capable of shattering and destroying a planet. He has also lifted Asgard with ease with the help from Beta Ray Bill. He can also enter a berserker rage like state called berserkergang or Warrior Madness where his strength goes up by a magnitude of 10 times but in this state he crazy and will attack anyone who get in his way.
On top of this Thor wears a belt of strength that magically doubles his strength and endurance.
Super Endurance- Can fight for months without feeling fatigue
Nearly Invulnerable, very durable
Immortality - Thor derives extended lifespan from consuming the apples from the goddess Idun. He has already lived a millennia. Time moves differently for Asgardians than it does humans and in some ways he is much younger than his age would indicate. It is difficult to translate Thor's life into human years because the Asgardian experience is so different. While Thor has gathered up immense amount knowledge over his millennia he often acts like a rash teenager. He can simultaneously act heroic and self sacrificing, while being bull headed and arrogant.
Super regeneration - Can even regenerate limbs and organs
Immune to diseases and to some magic
As the Norse god of weather he can control natural weather, lighting and storms. He can also at times control the Earth creating canyons and Earth quakes through the powers of his mother Gaea.
Force Projections - Thor has been shown to need his hammer to project these forces:
Godblast - Emits an ultra powerful blast that uses some of Thor's Life Force.
Thermoblast- Heat blast
Anti Force Blast - Counter acts an imposing force
Flight - Can fly using his hammer, and even travel at faster than light speeds in space.
Dimensional travel
Martial Skills and Intelligence - Thor can be brash but he does possess many, many, many years of battle experience.
