Thor's Powers #7

This is kind of a conditional power: Part magic power, part random trivia.


Thor's hammer returns when he throws it, (but not when he "tosses" it, as we found out in the first "Thor vs. Radioactive Man" issue.)

But, not only is it important that the hammer is capable of doing this, but it was also important that Don Blake remembered this tidbit of fact from Norse mythology. Pay attention in school, kids. Lesson learned.

Theoretically, because Thor turns back to Don when separated from the hammer for more than 60 seconds, Thor could throw it TOO FAR, turn back into the "lame doctor" and get smashed by his own hammer! Whoa! Living on the edge!

My honest confession is that I wish I could do this. Captain America's shield, boomerangs, things are cooler when they fly back at you. What makes Thor's hammer the best is that it flies back in a convenient catching position! Every time.
