Bill continued to protect his people and assist the Asgardians. Mjolnir was returned to Thor, with Odin ordering the creation of the hammer Stormbreaker for Bill to use. It is believed that Odin chose this location to further test Bill's worthiness and to teach Thor a lesson. Bill's Korbinite physiology gave him somewhat of an advantage in the lava-filled realm, and he was able to win. Odin subsequently decreed the two battle in Skartheim to the death to see who would reclaim the hammer. Bill said the hammer should remain his as he had won it fairly. Skuttlebutt landed but both were transported to Asgard by Odin. Curious, Bill picked up Mjolnir and the hammer deemed him worthy, granting him the power of Thor.

When Thor enters the ship, it releases the deep-sleep guardian, Beta Ray Bill, who battles Thor to a standstill, and inadvertently picks up Thor’s hammer, Mjolnir. The background is SHIELD dispatches Thor to intercept a strange spacecraft as only Thor can do, and there Thor encounters the ship Scuttlebutt, and automated AI controlled battleship.

One of the things I like about Marvel Unlimited is being able to read old comics, not just ones I have in my collection, but also comics I’ve never read. ![]()
