Re: Headcanons or interpretations that you've never seen anyone else have
You know Chad Davis, the first supersoldier to blow up a few years ago and who everyone thought went crazy and made a bomb that killed him and a few other people? Harley's dad.
That's why Harley knew where Mrs. Davis, Chad's mother, was right away - she's his grandmother. Either Chad's mom left the picture way before even that point, or she was one of the people killed (or she's still around, but so shocked by what happened and the family lives on the edge of the admittedly-rural community because everyone else kind of ostracized them). And the reason why a kid with his kind of tech skills and stoic charm is still getting so harshly bullied in this day and age? He's the son of that crazy person who built a bomb to commit suicide and took a bunch of other innocent people with him.
Also, the pun: Harley Davis. :P
MCU Thor/Asgardians:
So now that MCU has pretty much officially taken the stance that the Asgardians are just really advanced aliens mistaken for gods, rather than actually gods themselves, the next question is, why the fuck do these aliens look exactly like humans? Answer: they are. The superhuman experiments are still in their nascence right now, but over the next hundreds/thousands of years, they get refined, distilled down to the genetic level, and distributed/spread out through the entire species of humanity. It is for this reason that humans managed to survive until the end of the universe, at which point our descendents realized they were screwed, so they managed to send themselves back in time, way back - possibly all the way to the beginning of the universe, or at the very least a few billion years ago. That's why they don't really have a planet, but just a weird asteroid/hunk of rock floating in its own little pocket dimension on the fringes of the space-time continuum - the machine/method/whatever was only able to encompass that much and everything in it, which is a good chunk of planet...but still just a chunk of planet. It's been so long that even the Asgardians have forgotten that they originally came from humans.
Other headcanon and/or bonus to this one:
The Asgardians, themselves, have a sense of spirituality and religion, and of course they sometimes name their children after them. So MCU Thor isn't the god of thunder, but named after the god of thunder whose name is Thor, and because of who/what his namesake was, he took an interest in hammers and lightning as a kid. Odin named his other son Loki as kind of an in-joke, and Loki also took after his namesake in a way that started out being about personal interest/research into an Asgardian myth from which his name came.
On Earth, the actual Asgardian history and the Asgardians' mythology got all mixed up, hence the messiness of Norse mythology as it stands now. Thor initially finds it funny that people call him the god of thunder, but then gets disturbed when people actually assume he is the legit god of thunder - from his perspective, it's his religion. It would be like us assuming that Queen Mary was actually St. Mary the Holy Mother of Jesus Christ just because that queen was named after that saint.
