10 Most Powerful Asgardian Weapons In Marvel History
7. Gungnir
Like Thor’s hammer, Odin’s spear, Gungnir, is magically connected to its owner. Forged from enchanted Uru metal, there are several stories of how the spear came into existence. According to one tale, dwarves crafted it from sunlight as a gift to The All-Father. Another story states that it was crafted by the Sons of Ivalid as part of a contest hosted by Loki. Yet another story claims that the spear was from a previous Asgard destroyed in Ragnarok.
Gungnir is considered the equal of Mjonir. But unlike Mjonir, there is no worthiness enchantment on the weapon because the Asgardians can’t conceive of anyone beside Odin from using it. No matter how far away the spear is from its owner, it will always return to his hands.
The All-Father has used his spear to create powerful energy blasts, summon lightning, destroy buildings and wound other godly beings like the Celestials.
The King of Asgard can also use his weapon as a conduit for the Odinforce, a fathomless form of Norse magic that has made Odin one of the most feared entities within the Nine Realms.
