10 Most Powerful Asgardian Weapons In Marvel History
1. Stormbreaker
Only a select few have proven worthy to lift Mjolnir, and when the Korbinite Beta Ray Bill managed to hold the hammer, Odin had one specially created for him. Bill’s worthiness came about through defeating Thor in fair combat. Even though he’d bested the Odinson, Bill felt guilty over lifting Mjolnir.
Called Stormbreaker, Beta Ray Bill’s hammer is made from the same Uru material as other powerful Asgardian weapons. Although similar to Mjolnir, there have been times when Stormbreaker has differed from the weapon it was based on. On one occasion, Bill was endowed with cosmic power by the Silver Surfer, which changed Stormbreaker’s appearance to that of an axe.
Despite being proud of his weapon, Bill hasn’t lost sight of its importance to the rest of the universe. He has allowed other people to prove themselves worthy of lifting the hammer, feeling that he has a duty to share his godly power for good.
With Stormbreaker in his hands, Bill has become one of the Marvel Universe’s mightiest protectors. His bravery earned him a place among the Asgardians and he can be considered Thor’s close friend.
