11 Powers You Didn't Know Thor's Hammer Has

If it seems to you like Thor doesn’t have any powers of his own and Mjolnir is doing all the heavy lifting, you’re kind of right. Except for the fact that Thor literally does the heavy lifting to lift Mjolnir, but that’s another story. This story is about devastatingly powerful forcefields and the little hammer that has the ability to create them.

A lot of heroes create forcefields; it’s not really a big deal. The difference with the forcefields that Thor’s hammer can generate, however, is immense. These concentrated energy bubbles are able to destroy entire galaxies if the conditions are just right. They can rearrange the molecules in just about everything, they can wipe out anything in their path, and they can utilize gravitational forces of planets to do pretty much anything imaginable. They’re kind of legendary and the make Mjolnir a lot scarier than just a simple hammer with a little handle. It’s no wonder Thor’s a god, wielding that thing around.
