10 Most Powerful Asgardian Weapons In Marvel History

Before he was worthy of Mjolnir, Thor used a battle axe called Jarnbjorn. Forged by dwarves, Jarnbjorn is strong enough to cut through virtually any kind of material. In addition, a charm was cast on the axe to make it indestructible.

Thor fought with Jarnbjorn during the 11th century, battling against the Celestial-powered Apocalypse. Wanting revenge, Thor blessed the battle axe with his own blood, making the weapon powerful enough to cut through Apocalypse’s armour.

Eventually, the Thunderer lost the axe and it passed down through the ages, never staying in one place for long. Originally, it was stolen from Baron Mordo’s tomb by Kang the Conqueror.

Then, it was taken by the Apocalypse Twins, who studied under Kang and used it to murder the Celestial Gardner. This was part of a bigger plan to draw the Celestials to Earth so they would destroy the planet. After recovering the axe from the Apocalypse Twins, Thor placed it back inside the Asgard’s armoury.

When the God of Thunder could no longer use Mjolnir, he picked up Jarnbjorn again. However, the dark elf Malekith took the axe and used it to cut off Thor's arm.
