- and that notion directly applies to Thor's Stormbreaker ax, as it, too, has the power to summon the Bifrost. Stormbreaker truly is the most powerful weapon the MCU has ever seen. Not only can it resist the power of all six Infinity Stones, but it also has the potential to tear open entire planets.
Incredibly, though, Stormbreaker proved capable of resisting the full might of all six Infinity Stones; in the final battle of Avengers: Infinity War, Thanos projected a beam attack against Thor, one that flared with the colors of all six Stones, but Stormbreaker didn't even seem to be slowed by the blast.
Avengers: Infinity War directors Joe and Anthony Russo explained that the reason Stormbreaker was able to take the brunt of six Infinity Stones was because it was the greatest weapon ever made and Thanos was caught off-guard, having only realized what that weapon was after he was struck by it.
Why couldn't the Infinity Stones stop Stormbreaker?
But as it turns out, it was not just Thor's strength. After all, no weapon in existence should be able to stop the combined power of the Infinity Stones, no matter how powerful the wielder is. Turns out, Thanos was taken unawares. He had just incapacitated all the heroes who tried to stop him.
The real reason Tony kept Thor from snapping was because Thor was emotionally unstable and not in the right mindset to wield the power of the Infinity Stones effectively.
Here's How Thor's Stormbreaker Was Able To Overpower ALL SIX Infinity Stones
Is there a 7th infinity stone?
Spoilers for Thanos: Death Notes #1 and Thor #29 by Marvel ComicsMarvel Comics has officially introduced the Seventh Infinity Stone, as the new Black Infinity Stone has a special connection to Thor.
A significant part of Thor's trauma stems from his failure to kill Thanos in Avengers: Infinity War, leading to the Mad Titan's devastating Snap. Thor had Thanos comfortably beaten, yet did not strike a blow at his head, instead curiously deciding to sink Stormbreaker into the great Titan's chest.
Thor had the element of surprise and a weapon capable of overpowering even the Infinity Gauntlet. Stormbreaker powered through the gauntlet's energy beam but left Thanos alive long enough to succeed, making his victory in Avengers: Infinity War all the more devastating.
Stormbreaker has the additional power to summon the Bifröst, allowing Thor to teleport anywhere in the Nine Realms. Screen Rant has identified Stormbreaker as the more powerful of the two, based on this ability, as well as it being a much larger and edged weapon.
The hammer Stormbreaker is very similar to Mjolnir, made of mystic Uru metal and is nearly indestructible. Worthiness: Just like the original Mjolnir, no one can lift Stormbreaker who is not worthy. After the founding of New Korbin, there was a line of aliens and Korbinites all attempting to lift Stormbreaker.
If Thor decides to use the power of lightning onboard the Asgardian refugee ship to fight the villain and his minions, he may accidentally damage the ship, or worse, even kill his own people. So, he chose to hold himself back, allowing some Asgardians to escape with Valkyrie (Tessa Thompson) and Korg (Taika Waititi).
He was able to lift Stormbreaker because Stormbreaker is purely about strength. In Infinity War, when Thor was asked by the Guardians of the Galaxy, Peter Quill: Don't you think that we should all have a weapon like that?
Thanos didn't know what was coming his way and if he did he would have been able to use the stones to better react to Stormbreaker. Joe and Anthony explained at an Avengers: Infinity War screening that the only reason Thor was able to do some damage is because Thanos wasn't ready.
Although Stormbreaker and Mjolnir have very similar properties and powers, Stormbreaker is the most powerful weapon wielded by Thor so far. The obvious reasons are that Stormbreaker is the physically larger weapon out of the two, and not to mention that it is an axe, which could well be more dangerous than a hammer.
Not Mjolnir. He is likely unworthy, so he would not have been able to lift up Mjolnir by himself. However, he did grab Stormbreaker, which DOES NOT have a worthiness enchantment.
Bill's been without Stormbreaker for a while now, as, in last year's Thor #3, Thor destroyed the powerful hammer after the pair got into a fight over his decision to join Galactus in a fight against the Black Winter.
Stormbreaker can summon the bifrost and Hela is stronger in Asgard. Thor can teleport her and himself and open her chest killing her, or cut off her limbs ir head. Plus, Stormbreaker is stronger than Mjolnir.
While Superman could potentially overpower Thor, blows rendered by the mystical Mjolnir would likely impose serious damage on the Kryptonian hero. With his super-speed, the Man of Steel could probably avoid the Thunder God's lightning, but not necessarily, since Thor is just as fast.
Superman has beaten everything the Multiverse has thrown at him and always come back for more. He's faced Thanos's type many times and always won. Superman is vastly more powerful and skilled than Thanos. It wouldn't take him long to realize how dangerous the Mad Titan was and once he did, he'd take the kid gloves off.
Can Superman overpower Thanos in raw strength? Yes, actually. Thanos is a powerhouse, but Raw Strength is not his best suit. He mostly relies on his powerful energy beams and lasers, not to mention his immense IQ or mind abilities.
