Warning! This article contains spoilers for Thor #22
Marvel Comics just gave Thor’s MCUbattle cry a dark new meaning during his latest battle against a seemingly unbeatable foe.

Mjolnir, who has now realized her true form as the God of Hammers, beat Thor and Odin to a pulp, leaving Odin with no other choice than to sacrifice himself so that Thor may harness the full might of his Odin Force. With that new power-up plus the added strength granted him by his mother, Gaea, Thor becomes strong enough to truly challenge the God of Hammers and even has a chance at winning.
