LANGSTON BELTON: New hammer, who's this?
Get the buzz on what Thor's other hammer
means for the future.
We're taking your hashtag #marvelquestions,
so let's do it.
Yes, this one asks, what's the difference
between Mjolnir, Stormbreaker, and Stormbreakers?
It's a very good question, so let's hammer it home.
Oh, boy, there it is.
I've missed you, Langston.
All right, let's start off with Mjolnir.
Mjolnir, of course, is Thor's hammer created for him by Odin,
out of uru, which is magical metal
from the heart of a dying star, crafted
by a dwarf in Nidavellir.
Obviously.
Also, Mjolnir provides all of the powers that we know
and love, which, of course, are transportation
via the portal, smacking stuff, conducting lightning,
and, of course, returning to sender.
But also, it's enchanted, so that you
have to be worthy to wield it.
Yes, that's very, very true.
And a word about worthiness.
So you know Odin's going to do what Odin loves to do,
and that's messed with his son's life.
So he made Thor go mano a horse-faced alien mano
with this alien, Beta Ray Bill, to see who
was worthy of wielding Mjolnir.
And Beta Ray Bill handed Thor a Beta Ray beatdown.
But he didn't kill him, because he's a really good guy.
Never forget Beta Ray Bill--
Two thumbs up.
--he's always been very sportsman-like gentlemen.
He gave him a hand, helped him up.
But Odin was like, "now I gotta reward you for, A, besting
my son and not killing him."
So he had the dwarves make a brand new hammer,
and that is Stormbreaker.
And it is wielded by Beta Ray Bill, because he's too worthy.
He's so worthy, bursting with worthiness.
And in the spirit of sharing power with those that are truly
worthy, we have Stormbreakers.
I'm talking plural.
Stormbreakers is the next evolution of Marvel's Young
Guns Program, showcasing the next generation
of influential Marvel artists.
And much like Beta Ray Bill needed
to be worthy to wield Stormbreaker,
we have eight Marvel artists who have proven themselves
worthy to be dubbed Elite Marvel Artists,
as Marvel's Stormbreakers.
These artists are so special, because they are smashing
limits, they're shattering ceilings,
and they are going to make a huge, huge impact
with their work.
Lorraine and I wanted to show you some of their work
and introduce them by name.
So here we go.
First up we have--
Natacha Bustos.
Juann Cabal.
Carmen Carnero
Josh Cassara.
Iban Coello.
Pat Gleason.
Peach Momoko.
And R.B. Silva.
As you can see, all of these amazing artists
are using their dynamic style and innovative artwork
to craft all new stories that resonate
with fans all over the world.
So make sure to keep your eyes peeled for their work
throughout the year.
I cannot wait to see everything that is going
to come from these folks, because they are so talented,
they are so distinctive.
And they've already made a huge impact, I think,
with fans across the world.
So I can't wait to see what they do this year.
Yes, it's nice for the House of Ideas
to have some new tenants, essentially.
Yeah.
New artists means new interpretations
of your favorite Marvel characters,
locations, artifacts like Mjolnir and Stormbreaker,
who knows?
The sky's the limit.
Gonna be great.
You guys can learn even more about Marvel's Stormbreakers

If you have another Marvel question,

I'm Langston.
And this is Marvel.
Your universe.
