In need of a new weapon after the events of Thor: Ragnarok, Thor used the Dwarven forge on Nidavellir to craft Stormbreaker. Due to both the nature of the weapon and Thor's attack on Thanos, Stormbreaker successfully powered through an energy blast from all six stones and dealt a near-lethal blow to Thanos.
Can post-awakened Thor defeat base Thanos? If Thor lands a single attack using Stormbreaker, he would definitely defeat Thanos. Asgard's most powerful weapon is able to instantly decapitate the Mad Titan.
Many viewers have pointed out that Thanos was able to lift Stormbreaker without a problem, but this is because the ax isn't enchanted as Mjolnir is. Others believe Thanos lifted Mjolnir (although briefly) and have even argued that he would be worthy of doing so.
Eitri says that Stormbreaker is "a king's weapon, meant to be the greatest in Asgard, and in theory, it can even summon the Bifrost." In Avengers: Infinity War, Thor teleports to Wakanda by summoning the Bifrost through Stormbreaker, so it factually has that ability.
Here's How Thor's Stormbreaker Was Able To Overpower ALL SIX Infinity Stones
Who can lift Thor's Stormbreaker?
While no one besides Thor has been able to truly wield the awesome might of Stormbreaker, Groot was the very first being to hold this weapon when one of his arms became the handle for the mighty axe.
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.
It's important to note that the rules around worthiness had been temporarily suspended to allow this to happen. As soon as the fight was over, Superman couldn't lift the hammer anymore. However, under normal circumstances, without any weird interference, Superman is worthy of Mjolnir.
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.
Portrayed by Anthony Hopkins, Odin is the powerful ruler of the Nine Realms who has sworn to protect every kingdom under his rule. With Odin still ruling Asgard, Thanos would have easily been stopped had he made a play for the Infinity Gauntlet.
Odin is basically Thor and all the other Asgardians rolled into one—though he's even wiser, more experienced, and minus one eye. As the default King of Asgard, Odin is easily the most powerful being in his realm.
While Thanos is an Eternal and has the standard powers of super-strength, agility, regeneration, immortality, and more, Adam Warlock takes the upper hand. He can be killed, but he resurrects to be stronger every time.
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).
During a Vudu Viewing Party for Avengers: Infinity War, co-directors Anthony and Joe Russo revealed a key difference between Thor's hammer Mjolnir and his new ax Stormbreaker: the latter doesn't require worthiness. That's why Groot was able to lift the ax, not because he was worthy but because he didn't need to be.
Due to it being composed of Uru, the weapon is nigh-indestructible and able to withstand energy blasts created by the Infinity Stones. It is also able to channel dimensional energy and summon the Bifrost Bridge, which enabled Thor to teleport himself, Rocket Raccoon, and Groot to Wakanda.
Surprisingly, the answer is almost certainly, “No.” Although Batman's will and moral compass do make him a worthy candidate for Thor's hammer, his track record with super powers is less than stellar. In several storylines, Batman has acquired genuine superpowers but frequently becomes corrupted by them.
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.
The simple answer is no. Yes, Hulk absolutely smashes Thor to the ground with Mjolnir, but, he's holding both Thor and the hammer. Hulk wouldn't have been able to lift Mjolnir by himself, but since the God of Thunder had a firm grip on it as well, he was able to use it as a weapon against his teammate.
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. In a harrowing scene, Thor threw Mjolnir at Bill, which the worthy hero caught.
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.
Can anyone lift Stormbreaker? Yes — and the reasons why a crucial point in the comparison between Stormbreaker vs Mjolnir with respect to Thor's character arc in the MCU. The God of Thunder went through a massive transformation in Taika Waititi's Thor: Ragnarok, which continued into Thor: Love and Thunder.
Although he is an extremely skilled marksman, Clint Barton is often considered to be the weakest member of the team seeing as he's just a regular guy with a bow and arrow. That certainly means that Hawkeye one of the weakest Avengers.
Storm breaker is meant to be the strongest weapon of Asgard and could even summon bifrost, says Eitri. But there is no enchantment or spell on it like it was on Mjolnir. So one doesn't have to be worthy to weild it, just the strength to lift it. Clearly Thanos is capable of lifting it.
