Norse God Thor Scares Off Burglar

Well, there are rumors of a Thor movie, but this isn't a publicity stunt. Rather, a man returning from a costume party dressed as the Norse God Thor put quite a scare into a burglar.

Torvald Alexander, 6' tall and an imposing figure, was still dressed as the God of Thunder (and also a Marvel Comics superhero) came upon an intruder in his home in Inverleith, Edinburgh.

Alexander's costume consisted of a red cape and silver helmet and breastplate, as well as a lot of tinfoil. Alexander believes his costume, in addition to his already imposing size, may have added some impact:
"As soon as he saw me his eyes went wide with terror. We were both startled but then the instant reaction was that I ran at him and he just jumped straight out of the window. I think I would be quite scared if someone looking almost like a gladiator ran at them."
It's unclear if Alexander was carrying Thor's formidble hammer, Mjolnir, as well as his costume.
