10 Most Powerful Swords In Comics History

3. Odinsword

As the All-Father of Asgard and father to Avenger and God of Thunder Thor, Odin is one of the most powerful beings in the Marvel Universe. He’s taken down many cosmic threats, waged plenty of wars and seen entire worlds come and go, so it should come as no surprise that such an ancient and powerful god would have an arsenal of planet shattering weapons.

Among them, there is a sword that carries his name and that happens to be so powerful that it can end the universe by merely being unsheathed (Yes, you read that right).

The Odinsword owes its apocalyptic power to its tragic history, having been forged from the cursed golden Nibelung ring (think Norse version of the One Ring). A previous incarnation of Thor lost his life trying to obtain this ring for his greedy father and not even Odin could cleanse the curse, choosing instead to contain it within the sword.

Despite being used twice, one time against the Celestials, the other against Cul, the God of Fear, Odin usually uses his world ending blade as a deterrent for potential enemies. It’s said that the best weapon is the one you never have to fire, or in this case unsheathe.
