Avengers: Endgame - 13 Things It Actually Took From The Comics

5. Thor Wielding Two Hammers

The novelty of seeing Thor wield both Mjolnir and Stormbreaker may have been outdone by a later moment (you know the one), but for a time, it was one of the coolest visuals the MCU had ever seen. Perhaps unsurprisingly, it was also one lifted directly from the comics.

The God of Thunder has wielded all manner of different Asgardian weapons over the years, including but not limited to the axe Jarnbjorn, the hammer Stormbreaker (used by Beta Ray Bill in the comics), and even the Ultimate Universe's version of Mjolnir. Naturally, then, it should come as no surprise to learn that he's used two of them at once.

The Odinson has wielded two different versions of Mjolnir once before, and is even set to wield two again as the War of the Realms progresses. Perhaps the most famous occasion where Thor used two at once, however, came much earlier during Jason Aaron's run on the character, where he took on Gorr the God Butcher.

Just as it did in Endgame, it made for an epic image. Here's hoping Thor will get to wield more than one weapon by the time Guardians 3 comes around too!
