Thor, Can I Borrow Your Hammer? | UYNC Episode 17

Thor’s hammer has a history that spans myth and Marvel. From Loki’s bet with the dwarves and Thor’s cross-dressing rescue mission in Norse legend, to Mjolnir’s Marvel Comics debut, worthiness enchantments, and all the surprising people who’ve lifted it — we’re digging in.

In this solo episode, CiCi explores:

The mythic origins of Mjolnir in Norse sagas
Thor’s many tests of worthiness in Marvel Comics
Beta Ray Bill, Captain America, Jane Foster, and other wielders
Why Original Sin’s “Gorr was right” reset mattered
How Jane Foster’s run as Thor in the comics made Love and Thunder surprisingly accurate
