Mjolnir

It Can Destroy The Armors of Celestials

In Marvel continuity, Celestials are given the bigger status than the gods of Asgard. They are actually the creators of creators. But sometimes, they also destroy. In “Thor” #388 (1988), Thor desperately tries to stop the Celestials Exitar from destroying a planet which was deemed a failure. At that moment, Mjolnir was powerful enough to smash through Exitar’s armor which allowed Thor to make his way into its brain.

It Can Shapeshift

Mjolnir has the ability to shapeshift itself although it’s not one of the major qualities of Mjolnir, during the early days when Thor was cast-out to Earth by Odin to learn some humility he attained a new personality of Dr. Donald Blake.
