As the Marvel Universe has taught us, superhero powers are not to be taken lightly.
Among others with superhuman strength in the Marvel Universe include Thor, the Asgardian God of Thunder and the son of Odin, the All-Father of Asgard, and the Elder Earth-Goddess Gaea.
According to legend, Thor is arguably the greatest and mightiest defender of both of the Marvel worlds due to his ability to seamlessly harness the power of both. But as the mightiest warrior of Asgard, a founding member of the Avengers and one of the strongest, most powerful beings on Earth, Thor is also never without his weapon of choice: the mythical hammer Mjölnir – a hammer that can only be welded by Thor himself.
More recently, YouTuber “Sufficiently Advanced” created a real-life version of Thor’s Mjölnir hammer that leverages the powers of technology and science rather than sheer strength. Constructed with electromagnets that are activated or deactivated with a thumbprint scanner, this particular Mjölnir hammer is programmed to respond to the creator’s thumbprint and the creator’s thumbprint alone.
And why create something of such complexity of you’re not going to have a little bit of fun with it?
