Ten of a Kind: Mjolnir swing like a pendulum do

(More Ten of a Kind here. And get ready: only two more until Ten of a Kind #300!)

Q: Can robots pick up Thor's hammer?

Stop! Hammer Time! (or, Leggo Mjolnir 2: Electric Boogaloo)

Jeepers, Mister Thor! Looks like everybody wants to get their hands on your hammer. You're kinda grabby with that thing. Maybe someone needs to learn a lesson or two about sharing, hmm?

















About that last cover: in an earlier post, Bombastic Bully Brigade member Chuck T. wrote:

I've been trying to figure this out for years: can robots lift Thor's hammer? What about sentient ones like Ultron or the Vision?

If I 'member my early eighties Thor mythology correctly, Gabriel the Air-Walker (the "Death Angel" of this cover and former herald of Galactus) was a robot. I don't 'member the exact circumstances, but yeah, assuming that it isn't a case of "this scene does not occur in this comic!," it looks like robots can lift Mjolnir. Unless, of course, they can't in other stories written by other writers.

Sooooo...Mister Thor...can little stuffed bulls lift your mighty hammer? If so, may I jus' hold it while you play Frisbee with Iron Man in the park, 'kay? I will take very good care of it.

Leggo Mjolnir!

Jeepers, Mister Thor! You might wanna consider puttin' a bike lock on that thing or something:

Leggo Mjolnir, por favor s'il vous plait!, or: Civil War, Swingin' Seventies Style!

Fantastic Four #536 (2006):


Thor #183 (1970):


I guess this must be why I looked at FF #536 this week and thought "Been there, done that."

And just for fun, sometimes I like to pretend Thor and Doctor Doom, the two best trash-talkin' pontificators in the Marvel Universe, are spouting their usual wordy proclamations...in Spanish French! [EDIT: Ooh la la! "Anonymous" in the comments points out my foolish mistake: That's French, not Spanish!]



(Well, for one thing, Doctor Doom has a more cheerful interior decorator in his Spanish French estate.)
