Welcome back nerd squad, my name is Roya Destroyaa and this is Top 10 Nerd.
Sure, we got a bunch of heroes out there than can lift heavy stuff, big whoop.
But only those who prove worthy, or those who are smart enough tp find their way around
that, are able to lift the prized Mjolnir.
So letÕs take a look at the top 10 superheroes who can lift ThorÕs hammer part 2.
In the number 10 spot is STORM.
A lot of you were asking in our last video, well what about Storm?
In the Xmen and new mutants crossover, she proved worthy to carry a hammer, but not exactly
THE hammer.
She had her own fashioned by Loki called the Stormcaster which restored her weather manipulating
abilities that were previously stripped from her, as well as put her under LokiÕs influence.
She was eventually able to break free and used the Mjolnir to destroy stormcaster, but
the catch was Thor was still holding onto it at the same time.
So thereÕs your answer!
Coming in at number 9 we have AIRWALKER.
The air walker, known as Gabriel Lan, was a herald and friend of Galactus who was killed
and then transferred into an android body.
Therefore, he is not the flesh and blood that the hammerÕs inscription implies, and hence
works the hammer loophole yet again.
Among his journey on earth to find the silver surfer, he encounters Thor, who is shocked
when Airwalker is able to pick up his hammer.
So naturally he destroys him out of fear, I mean what else is there to do?
Next, at number 8 is THUNDERSTRIKE.
Eric Masterson had already been a support character in the Thor comics, but it wasnÕt
until Thor #432 that he would get to lift up the tool of the trade.
Thor and Eric had previously been merged as one to save EricÕs life, but in this comic,
heis body seperates from the essence of Thor and he actually becomes the new Thor to protect
Earth and join the avengers, complete with the ability of picking up the hammer.
Later on Odin constructs EricÕs very own weapon, called the thunderstrike.
In the number 7 spot we have ROGER NORVELL.
In Thor 276, Odin uncovered a prophecy stating that Thor was going to die.
So of course heÕs gotta pick out a new Thor, like he would ever let Loki take his place.
No, he would rather choose a random camera man and equip him with a belt of strength
and special hammer-picking up gloves.
So not only could he take over being Thor, but also woo lady Sif, ThorÕs girlfriend.
Of course it was all part of an elaborate plot that A Thor would die, but not THE Thor.
Coming in at number 6 we got CONAN THE BARBARIAN.
What if#39 asked the question of what would happen if Thor of Asgard had met Conan the
Barbarian?
Thanks to Loki, we found out.
Turns out, the two become pretty friendly, sharing lots of macho punchy stuff in common.
The hammer gets lost in this story and it is eventually found, but at the expense of
ThorÕs life.
In death he leaves his hammer to his new friend, whom he considers worthy enough to wield it.
And that is apparently enough for the hammer too.
Next up, at number 5 is ZEUS.
I mean, whether heÕs a hero or not can be a little debatable.
But in Thor Annual #8, what isnÕt debatable is the fact that Zeus is able to pick up the
hammer.
Zeus and Thor come head to head in battle and you can imagine ThorÕs surprise when
someone else who also shares an expertise in thunder is able to handle and keep the
hammer.
It did, however, return to ThorÕs hands sortly, so whether Zeus was worthy or just godly powerful
is up in the air.
Up next at number 4, we have BLACK WIDOW.
Yet another Avenger was able to pick up the hammer, check out our part one for a few other
members who made the worthiness cut.
This happened in another What If story.
When Ragnarok claims the lives of all super powered heroes, only those who lack powers
are left behind.
Natasha Romanova is one of these, and she is proven worthy when she is able to lift
and use the hammer, becoming the new god of thunder.
But it was a learning curve, and one that proved just a tad fatal.
In the number 3 spot, WE HAVE SQUIRREL GIRL.
Because it seems this superhero is on par with Superman these days in terms of what
she can do!
And of coruse it happened in The Unbeatable Squirrel Girl Beats up the Marvel Universe.
Who sanctioned this story??
It wouldnÕt be the first time sheÕs accomplished the enar impossible.
Maybe defeating the likes of Dr doom and Thanos convinced odin he better damn let this girl
pick up the hammer.
She would;ve never lost it to Hela.
Coming in at number 2, is SPIDERMAN.
This was Miguel OÕHara from Spiderman 2099 to be exact.
Near the end of 2099, Miguel and a Thor-empowered Steve rogers work to bring the world back
to order, but a wrinkle in their endeavors caused Steve to be hurtled toward space, as
one usually is.
In a last ditch of heroics, he tossed the hammer to Miguel, who was able to catch it.
Despite wielding the tool, he never transformed in its presence, but went on to use its existence
t become a fair leader in EarthÕs re-development.
Aptly proving how worthy he really was.
And finally, in the number 1 spot WE GOT LOKI.
Because I mean he was kinda a hero in the movie right??
Despite what I said earlier about Loki never being able to take his brotherÕs place, it
kinda did happen.
During the Inversion of the Axis storyline, Loki was transformed into the opposite of
himself.
This was temporary of course; soon the inversion spell wore off and he was back to his mischievous,
trouble making self, thank god for that.
So those were the top 10 heroes who can lift ThorÕs hammer part 2.
Let me know in the comment section down below what hero do you think could lift the hammer.
