10 Characters Who Broke Thor's Hammer

6. Loki - Thor Vol. 2 #80 (2004)

Mjolnir Broken
Marvel Comics

For the longest time, Thor's step-brother and the self-proclaimed Prince of Lies, Loki, coveted his sibling's legendary mallet. But because of the enchantment that Odin placed on Mjolnir, it was impossible for the trickster to wield the sacred weapon.

That's why Loki formulated a new plan - if he couldn't use Thor's hammer, he would just wield a different one. After locating the mold that Mjolnir was forged from, he had the fire deity, Surtur, create multiple Mjolnirs. Since no enchantment had been placed on these mallets, Loki and his minions were able to wield them effortlessly.

Armed with their own godly weapons Loki, Hyrm the giant, Ulik the troll, and Fenris the wolf-beast ambushed Thor and his allies. During the battle, Loki's cohorts killed Amora The Enchantress, which caused Thor to go into a mindless rage.

As he launched himself at Ulik, Fenris, and Hyrm, all of their hammers clashed. The godlike energy that spilled from the weapons caused a cataclysmic explosion, decimating the area. When the dust settled, Thor saw that his enemies were defeated. Unfortunately, the explosion also resulted in the destruction of Mjolnir.
