What's the mythical-scientific reason for Thors hammer being immovable? Very high mass/density or protected by some invisible godlike force?

In the movies, it's a worthiness/ pure heart thing. In the comics it's just really heavy. I guess the question is, is magic space metal ferrous enough to be magnetic?

[–] [email protected] 10 points 1 month ago (1 children)

I think Magneto can control nonferrous metals, too.

It has always bothered me that he used super strength magnetic fields to manipulate non-magnetic metals. yes, that is the thing in the xmen universe that breaks reality for me, everything else is fine

[–] [email protected] 13 points 1 month ago (2 children)

That is realistic though, he just needs to move the magnetic field to induce a current in them. He should be able to affect any conductor.

Does this mean he might also have limited water powers in regions where the ratio of metallic solids in the water is above a certain threshold? Kinda like the "metal in your blood" scene in that one X-Men movie.

I think that's exactly what it means. Avoid entering caves with Magneto. There's a lot of minerals dissolved in those drip drops

And if there's one thing that we know Mjolnir definitely is, it's a conductor

[–] [email protected] 16 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Pretty much both.

Stormbreaker is completely different metal with no such restrictions placed on it, so anyone can pick it up.

After captain america picked up Mjølner, he then turned water into wine and came back to life three days after dying.

Captain America and Mjølner were in the closet making babies and I saw one of the babies and the baby looked at me!

Baby looked at you?

I just watched this episode for the first time!

Protected by a literal god but I have no idea why it wasn’t movable after oden died.

Enchantments are a one-off thingy. They don't require the enchanter to stay alive.
Otherwise, buying an enchanted sword from someone would mean, you would have to depend upon that person not getting killed by some random robber, when you are in the middle of battling the dungeon boss.

No you don't... Don't apply enchanter DRM!!

Your enchanted sword refuses to turn on without the bladesmith's proprietary Dongle of Unlocking

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 month ago

Sounds like some artificier prestige class shit here.

It's an Enchantment written onto the hammer by Odin.

So basically, it's the will of the God Odin, instilled upon the hammer.
