10 Characters Who Broke Thor's Hammer

10. The Destroyer - Journey Into Mystery #118 (1965)

When Odin the All-father discovered the Celestials intended to cut off Asgard's pathway to Earth, he realised he needed a champion that could stand against them. Since there was no one strong enough within the Asgardian pantheon, Odin created a mystical armour from the strongest material in existence and endowed it with as much godly energy that he could spare. This armour, known as The Destroyer, was stored in a vault, ready to be activated upon the Celestials' return.

But when Thor's wicked step-brother, Loki, discovered the vault, the God of Mischief awakened the Destroyer, believing it could defeat Thor.

The thunder god fought valiantly against his father's great weapon but even the god of thunder was no match against the awesome automaton. After the enchanted armour sliced Mjolnir in two, Thor acknowledged that he was not strong enough to best his opponent.

Luckily, Odin collapsed the vault that the Destroyer was stored in, burying the enchanted armour in rubble.
