His size and coloring are most likely from his mother.

His being Thor was a passing thought for me - the only thing that might fit is his size really. At least the Norse Thor as I know him has too much of a temper, and he's not as bright as Shadow. Also Shadow seems to have little interest is anybody than himself, his wife, and his employer (and father) - again not like Thor. I'd still rather say Shadow's a shadow of Odin - a reflection perhaps
