It magically enables the Bill to survive the adverse conditions of outer space, including its lack of oxygen. Energy Manipulation: He can also use it to project powerful concussive blasts of mystical energy.Flight: By throwing Stormbreaker and gripping its strap, Beta Ray Bill can fly.By itself, the hammer can create ground tremors, when struck against the ground, or whirlwinds, when swung around. It appears that Stormbreaker has the same attributes as Mjolnir, and it can absorb, magnify, and return almost any type of force. Force Projection: Being a hammer, Stormbreaker can be used as a blunt force melee weapon or as a throwing weapon.Then, by stamping his fist, Bill turns back into his superhuman form, and he has the hammer. Transformation: By stamping Stormbreaker Beta Ray Bill can revert to his mortal human form, Simon Walters, dressed in whichever clothes he last wore in that form.In the same way, he can summon it to himself even if it has not been thrown. Power of Recall: When Bill throws the hammer, it returns to his hand with irresistible force.But they keep trying." Gladiator later attempted to hold Stormbreaker, but was unable to do so. The Lady Sif then asks "But none ever has?" and Bill replies "No. They line up every day, each believing himself to be the one who will lift the hammer". Now Stormbreaker is offered to anyone worthy of its enchantment. So I gave in to the will of the masses, and surrendered my hammer to the populace. Exception was taken to the godly power I possessed. Once we settled this world there was no longer the need for a protector. When asked what was going on Beta Ray Bill said, "It is the will of my people. After the founding of New Korbin, there was a line of aliens and Korbinites all attempting to lift Stormbreaker.
Worthiness: Just like the original Mjolnir, no one can lift Stormbreaker who is not worthy.The hammer Stormbreaker is very similar to Mjolnir, made of mystic Uru metal and is nearly indestructible. Seeing no options to reach an agreement, Thor called Stormbreaker and destroyed it by hitting it against Mjolnir. ĭuring a conflict between Beta Ray Bill and Thor, who had been turned into an Herald of Galactus, Bill prevented Mjolnir from returning to its bearer's hand. After catching the hammer mere moments before it could hit the town, Thor returned Stormbreaker to its rightful once again. How the Skrulls were able to circumvent the worthiness is still a mystery, but the Skrull was able to reforge the halves back into one whole weapon, hurling it towards the town of Broxton in an attempt to destroy it. When Beta Ray Bill was captured by the Skrulls, they separated Stormbreaker into two, axe-like halves as weapon for the Super-Skrull that was sent to kill the gods of Asgard. Under unknown circumstances, both Bill and Stormbreaker returned to their normal, Odinpowered appearances sometime later. This outside power source was necessary, for Yggdrasill was failing at the time, and the power of the Odinforce would not be around to sustain Bill's powers in the near future. This physically changed the hammer's appearance to that of an axe-like weapon with a hole in the center. įor a brief period of time, Stormbreaker and Bill became endowed with cosmic powers, given to them by the Silver Surfer, as a means to save Bill's life. This in turn took away the '60 second rule' from Mjolnir, though it is never made quite clear if Stormbreaker has the same rule as well. Taking Stormbreaker from the Furnaces of Nidavellirįollowing a battle against Surtur's demon army, Odin then bestowed upon it another enchantment: by striking the hammer down on the ground, Bill was able to return to his true, mortal Korbinite self. With the assistance of Eitri and other dwarf blacksmiths, they forged Stormbreaker. In a compromise, as Bill fairly won the battle, Odin had the Dwarves of Nidavellir create a new hammer made for the cyborg Korbonite warrior, crafted from the same Uru metal as Mjolnir. After the battle, Bill began to feel guilt over his victory, now feeling that Mjolnir was Thor's by right. Stormbreaker came into creation following the fight between Thor and Beta Ray Bill at Skartheim. 3.3 Marvel Avengers Academy (Earth-TRN562).3.2 Marvel Cinematic Universe (Earth-199999).
