10 Most Powerful Asgardian Weapons In Marvel History
9. The Night Sword
The Night Sword belongs to the Asgardian goddess of death, Hela. When out of its scabbard, the blade is wreathed in green flames, displaying its deathly origin. In Thor: Ragnarok, she wielded it as her primary weapon, cutting through an army of Asgardian soldiers who tried to resist her rule.
As a capable swordsman, Hela has fought various duels with the Night Sword, such as when she battled against the Olympian god of death Pluto. At the time, Pluto wielded his enchanted Midnight Axe and the Night Sword proved to be more than a match. Sensing he was going to lose, Pluto summoned demons to attack Hela. If the fight had gone on without any interference, Hela could have overwhelmed her fellow death god, demonstrating her weapon's potency.
Hela may also use the Night Sword as a conduit for her most powerful fighting technique called ‘The Hand of Glory.’ It involves her channelling all of her mystical energy into a blow powerful enough to kill another Asgardian.
