He’s Drago. He’s Lion. He’s Loki. He’s Thor.

All of the above and much more.

Understand this about Mets right-hander Noah Syndergaard: He likes to be different. That is a great quality to have in a starting pitcher. Especially when you possess the kind of talent Syndergaard possesses.

In his rookie season, Syndergaard, 22, is only beginning to show his potential. The 6-foot-6, 240-pounder will be on the mound Thursday against the Rockies at Citi Field, where he has posted a 6-1 record with a 1.57 ERA.

The road is another story (0-5, 5.01), but at least Syndergaard has half of it figured out in such a short span — he came up May 12.

But there is more going on behind this intimidating pitching mask.

Syndergaard is a bit of a free spirit and names his gloves for fun.

“Everybody puts their names on the gloves, so I’m going to put something clever on there, some kind of nickname about some kind of character that I like,’’ Syndergaard told The Post.

As a result, one glove is Tyrion Lannister and another is Jon Snow, characters from “Game of Thrones.” There is Lion, Drago and Thor. And even Loki, archenemy and adoptive brother of Thor.

“My attempt to be a lion on the mound, that’s an inside joke,’’ said Syndergaard, who does have a lion look to him. “Me and Kevin Pillar, the center fielder for the Blue Jays, we were always saying, ‘Be the lion on the mound,’ and he was the lion in the outfield.’’

That was back in Syndergaard’s days in the Toronto organization in Lansing, Mich., where he was a Lugnut, before he was traded to the Mets. “Kevin always puts ‘Autocatch’ on his gloves,’’ Syndergaard said.

Syndergaard has created a bit more purpose to that nom de glove. He is raising awareness for Sjögren’s syndrome, an autoimmune disease from which his mother, Heidi, suffers. He has auctioned one of his gloves to raise money and plans to auction others.

“She’s a little trouper,’’ Syndergaard said. “She came to visit me in Lansing in 2012 and started to get sick. She later found out she has this disease called Sjögren’s, and she’s been coping with that now for about three years. She’s fighting every day and is in high spirits, which is good.

“My mom is very hard-working, very selfless. She is always trying to help other people. We talk every day. We have a really good relationship.’’

Look closely and you will see a blue and white Sjögren’s awareness band on Syndergaard’s wrist.

Heidi Syndergaard will participate in a 10K run at Disney World to raise money and awareness for the disease. About a week ago, she fell and broke her right elbow. She also was involved in a car wreck not long ago, so she has been tested.

Through it all, there is nothing like watching her son pitch.

“It’s been surreal,’’ said Heidi, 56, a medical technologist. “We’re very excited.’’

The Syndergaard household, located in Mansfield, Texas, about 20 minutes outside Fort Worth, has a routine set for their son’s start Thursday.

Noah’s dad, Brad, will go upstairs “to watch the bigger TV where he tracks the pitches and does the book on Noah,’’ Heidi said.

Meanwhile, she will watch the game downstairs with Thor.

Wait, isn’t Noah Thor?

“We had Thor before Noah became Thor,’’ a laughing Heidi said of the family dog. “His name was Thor when we found him at the ASPCA. He’s mostly an Aussie, but he’s a mutt. They told us his name was Thor and we took one look at him and said, ‘That’s our dog.’

“The dog knows something is going on when Noah pitches. Every now and then he will go up and jump at the TV if there is a picture of a pitcher. He doesn’t care about batters. It’s very strange.’’

Despite her health issues, Heidi is overflowing with positive energy.

“My mom is always telling me she wants to grow her hair out, get a [pink] Harley-Davidson, a ponytail, stuff like that, which I am not going to let her do,’’ Noah said with a smile.

Heidi did grow out her hair, but there is no Harley in her future.

She is learning to live with Sjögren’s, thanks to the strong support system at Sjögren’s Syndrome Foundation.

“Hardly anybody has ever heard of it, but it’s like the second-most prevalent autoimmune disease,’’ Heidi said. “It hit me like a ton of bricks. It primarily affects middle-aged women, however, men and young people are affected by it. I met a 16-year-old at one of our events. It’s pretty devastating. There is no quote-unquote ‘cure.’

“It attacks the moisture-producing organs in your body and the lungs can be involved. It can be dry eyes, dry mouth, and it’s the little things you take for granted like the ability to swallow. It’s quite frightening when you can’t swallow. There’s internal issues as well, there’s joint issues. Normal time to diagnosis is five to seven years.

“The Sjögren’s Syndrome Foundation pushes for research, cures, provides support groups, which I would have been lost without.”

When they can, Heidi and Brad travel to their son’s games.

All the while, pitching coach Dan Warthen said Syndergaard asks all the right questions and has made tremendous improvement, especially on his mechanics and changeup.

In spring training, at the start of an intrasquad game at Tradition Field, Syndergaard, who just finished his workout, grabbed a quick lunch and sat down to eat. That is when David Wright and Bobby Parnell intervened. Syndergaard learned his lesson: Watch every pitch.

“The amount I’ve learned is tremendous, especially working with Dan and all the veterans on the team,” Syndergaard said. “I’m being a sponge and trying to soak in as much knowledge as I can. I see how the other pitchers attack hitters and the confidence they have out there and how they get the job done. I watch [Matt] Harvey and [Jacob] deGrom a lot, we all have similar stuff.

“I wish I could go back to my debut and have a different outing there because I have so much more confidence now. The clubhouse atmosphere is unbelievable, it’s just a joy to sit in there.’’

Syndergaard will continue to learn. The goal is to pitch in October.

If that happens, we will see what gloves and characters take the postseason stage with Thor.
