Whose weapon is the Eternal Spear? The Eternal Spear is not Asgard’s most powerful artifact

Nordic mythology is one of the most well-known myths and legends in the world. Many fictional works have borrowed some settings from Nordic mythology. Odin, World Tree, Eternal Spear, Thor's Hammer, and Ragnarok are all famous entities in Nordic mythology. .

In the Marvel worldview, Norse mythology occupies a very important position!

Marvel has moved almost the entire Nordic mythology into comics. Some of the Nordic mythology is included in Marvel, and some of the Nordic mythology is not included in Marvel...

For example, the 2019 Marvel Comics major event "War of the Realms" tells the story of the war between the kingdoms in the World Tree, but in reality there are only nine realms in the World Tree, while in Marvel comics there are ten realms.

Marvel Ten Realms

There is an additional "heaven" in Marvel comics. Of course, this "heaven" is not the one where God lives. Although there are indeed angels with wings in this "heaven", they are just a race similar to Asgard.

It is worth mentioning that in the comics, Heaven had a war with Asgard, and took away Thor's sister (not Hela). Later, Odin thought his daughter was dead, so he angrily took "Heaven" "Stripped from the World Tree and banished.

Judging from this performance, Odin is truly a powerful god-king, and the Eternal Spear, as his weapon, is of course considered by many to be Asgard's most powerful artifact.

The eternal spear Gangnir is famous in Norse mythology. According to legend, its ability is simple and powerful. The ability of the eternal spear is to hit and penetrate anything it hits.

Of course, the Eternal Gun will definitely be weakened in Marvel comics. After all, Asgard is not the top force in Marvel.

The main characteristics of the Eternal Spear in the comics are its sturdiness and ability to channel Odin's power.

The Spear of Eternity is so strong that even Thanos cannot break it. Odin can use its body to directly attack enemies, or he can use it to release energy attacks, but the Spear of Eternity cannot increase Odin's power.

Odin VS Thanos

In the comic "Warlock and the Infinity Gauntlet", Odin held the eternal gun and fought with Thanos. At that time, the eternal gun withstood the wrestling between Odin and Thanos. The result of this battle was a draw.

So in the comics, the power of the Eternal Spear is actually about the same as Thor's Hammer.

In the comics, Thor's hammer was originally a weapon made by Odin for himself, and was later passed on to Thor. Therefore, the hammer in the comics is much stronger than that in the movie, and it is not a temporary equipment.

In the future timeline, Thor has lived until the moment when the universe is about to die. At that time, he has already become the strongest among the previous god-kings of Asgard, and the weapon used by Thor is still Thor's hammer.

Aged Thor

But Asgard actually has a weapon that is more powerful than the Eternal Spear and Thor's Hammer, and that is the Sword of Odin.

Odin's divine sword has appeared in ancient comics. It was made by Odin with the "Ring of the Nibelungs". It is said that the unsheathing of this divine sword means "the universe is about to end"!

Don’t think this is just a lie, in fact there is a matching plot in ancient comics!

At that time, Odin was controlled by the multiverse god "Infinity" and began to destroy the universe. After "Infinity" left, the universe had begun to destroy. At the same time, Odin also found that his divine sword was unsheathed.

After that, Odin put the divine sword back into its scabbard, and the universe returned to its original state...

Odin's Excalibur

I know this plot is very confusing, but it does prove that Odin's Excalibur has amazing power. It is worth mentioning that during this period, Odin's Excalibur was quite huge, and Odin's handle was not even big.

Of course, with the development of Marvel, there are fewer and fewer exaggerated plots with confusing logic. Odin's sword has been weakened N times, and its image has also changed.

The last time Odin used his divine sword in ancient comics was when the Cosmic Celestials came to Earth. At that time, Odin wore a Destroyer armor and held a divine sword to fight against the Celestials and beheaded a member of the Celestials. arms.

Of course, Odin was killed in the next scene. After all, most of the members of the God Group were stronger than Odin, and they were fighting in a group...

Odin VS God Team

After that, Odin's Excalibur did not appear in the main plot for a long time until "The Origin of Fear" happened.

In Marvel comics, Odin has an older brother called Orochi. Initially, Orochi was the one to inherit the throne, but later because Orochi was too cruel, Odin sealed him on the earth.

In "The Origin of Fear", the Orochi breaks the seal. Originally, Odin planned to drive away in Asgard, because in the prophecy, no one can kill the Orochi, and only Thor can die with him. Odin Din doesn't want to sacrifice his son for Earth.

But Thor insisted on fighting for the earth and facing his destiny, so Odin later gave his divine sword to Thor.

In the decisive battle of "The Origin of Fear", Thor initially held Mjolnir and Odin's Sword at the same time, but Mjolnir was unable to cause any damage to the serpent and was directly knocked away.

So in the end, Thor killed the serpent with Odin's sword. Of course, he himself also died, but he was resurrected later ...

Many characters in Marvel comics have experienced death and resurrection, such as Iron Man, Widow, Hulk, Captain America, etc., so the resurrection of Thor is not surprising.

Thor VS Orochi

To sum up, in Marvel comics, the Eternal Spear is not Asgard’s most powerful artifact. The power of Odin’s Sword can definitely surpass the Eternal Spear. The Eternal Spear is more like a symbol of power in Marvel comics. .
