The Mighty Thor: Difference between revisions

** Also, Balder.

* [[Involuntary Battle to the Death]]: In the story-arc that introduces Beta Ray Bill, the otherworldly champion who is also worthy to wield Mjölnir, Odin declares that Bill and Thor must fight a duel to the death to settle the question of who gets to keep it. {{spoiler|Bill wins, but saves Thor's life; Odin gives Mjölnir back to Thor and commissions a new hammer from the dwarfs to give to Bill. It's implied that this is the outcome Odin intended all along.}}

* [[Large Ham]]: During Thor's '60s run, pretty much everybody who isn't an average guy. And even then...

* [[Legacy Character]]: The power of the Thunder God is accessible to anyone else who can prove worthy of wielding Mjölnir (see below). Mortals such as human architect Eric Masterson and the alien nicknamed Beta Ray Bill would wield the hammer when Thor was otherwise indisposed. Later on, Masterson would get a slightly weaker hammer of his own to wield, becoming the hero Thunderstrike. Likewise, Beta Ray Bill was given his own hammer, Stormbreaker, with powers roughly equal to Mjölnir. Unfortunately, this means that Bill isn't seen that much anymore, because having Thor teamed up with an equally powerful pseudo-god is [[Story-Breaker Power|ridiculous overkill for most situations]].
