10 Most Powerful Asgardian Weapons In Marvel History
5. Bloodaxe
The Bloodaxe belongs to Skurge the Executioner, who wielded it in the service of evil Asgardians like Amora the Enchantress and Hela. For years, Skurge used his weapon to cut a bloody swathe through history. Eventually, the Executioner grew weary of his lot in life and chose to redeem himself by battling Hela’s forces on the bridge of Gjallerbru.
As an enchanted armament, the axe is capable of killing gods, creating energy projections and altering the weather. Amora also placed a charm on the axe that allowed it to open dimensional rifts.
Due to being infected with Skurge’s evil, the axe possesses a curse. Whoever uses it is compelled to commit great violence, as shown from when it was picked up by a mortal woman called Jackie Lukus. The axe drove Lukus mad, turning her into the vigilante Bloodaxe.
During Dan Jurgen’s Thor series, the thunder god used the axe in tandem with his hammer. Feeling himself succumbing to the curse, Thor destroyed it with the Odinforce so no one else would ever be tempted by its allure.
