God in somewhat horrific guise (4)

I believe the answer is:

thor

'god' is the definition.
(Thor is an example)

'in somewhat horrific guise' is the wordplay.
'in' says the answer is hidden in the clue.
'THOR' is hidden in the letters of 'somewhat horrific guise'.

(Other definitions for thor that I've seen before include "The Thunderer" , "Norse god for whom Thursday is named" , "Wielder of hammer" , "Comic superhero" , "Scandinavian thunder-god" .)

I've seen this clue in The Irish News.
