Vol. 2 himself to be unworthy of the hammer and was forced to give up its power on the Moon. While this was seemingly made possible due to the evil Captain America's convictions, this alteration was part of the crossover's reality-altering antics. Using Thor: Who Holds the Hammer?

The hammer was completed in seventeen weeks. Odin seals Mjolnir after failing to control its power. When Odin first tried to wield Mjolnir, he couldn't control it due to the God Tempest still retaining its power. The hammer devastated Asgard as it flew out of control. Out of spite, Odin cast an enchantment on the hammer to prevent anyone else from wielding it.

Near the end of the War of the RealmsThor nailed himself to Yggdrasil, which was growing out of the surface of the Sun to gain knowledge on how to rescue his parents from the clutches of Malekith. Thor was forced to sacrifice one of his eyes and the last remaining shard of Mjolnir in his possession to unlock the answers. During the final battle against Malekith, the God Tempest manifested in the Sun, and Thor commanded it from Earth to reforge his weapon. The restored Mjolnir then made landfall at Thor's feet, becoming able to wield it once again upon his realization that the constant struggle to be worthy was itself what made him worthy. Its inscription was also changed to "if they be worthy. Mjolnir was crafted from a nugget of Urua powerful nigh-invulnerable Asgardian metal.
