Thor's Powers #5

Okay, when most of us think of our wing-helmeted friend, this is the power we associate with him.

I've always thought this power was one of the most interesting, considering other heroes in the Marvel universe command the elements just by thinking about it: Storm, etc.

How cool is it that Thor actually has to bump his hammer a certain amount of times for a desired effect. Two times=thunderstorm, four times=lightning, 84 times=six inch sub? I wonder if he's ever tried thumping the mystic mallet on the ground that many times...
