In the MCU, we know more about Stormbreaker as Thor's weapon that was specially created at the request of the God of Thunder. However, in the comic version, Stormbreaker is actually a weapon created for a character named Beta Ray Bill.

The process of creating Stormbreaker began when Thor and Beta Ray Bill were involved in a battle. Beta Ray Bill also became the winner of this battle and deserved Mjolnir as a prize. Even so, Beta Ray Bill refused to take Mjolnir, even though he was indeed worthy and able to lift the hammer.

The reason Beta Ray Bill didn't want to take Mjolnir was because he didn't want to take away the weapon that the God of Lightning had been using for a very long time. Odin who witnessed the glory of Beta Ray Bill's heart then gave him a gift in the form of a hammer-shaped weapon called Stormbreaker.

In the MCU version, Thor goes to Nidavellir to ask Eitri for help to create a powerful weapon that can defeat Thanos. The God of Lightning and Eitri work together to create Stormbreaker by using the power of the neutron star that is the energy source of Nidavellir.

The process of creating Stormbreaker in the comic version is actually not too different. You see, Odin also went to Nidavellir and met with Eitri to create a weapon gift for Beta Ray Bill. The difference is, Odin helps the creation process by using magic to become the same as Mjolnir.

3. Can't be used by just anyone

Due to Odin's magic, Stormbreaker in the comic version can only be used by a certain number of worthy or worthy people . So, not all characters can lift Stormbreaker and use it as a weapon. In the comics, only a few characters can use Stormbreaker, including Thor and Beta Ray Bill.

However, the nature of Stormbreaker as a god weapon in the MCU version is quite different. You see, in the MCU all characters can use Stormbreaker, even if they are not worthy or evil though. This happens because in the MCU version, Stormbreaker was not created with the help of Odin's magic so there is no spell that makes it only available for certain people.

Maybe many of you agree that Stormbreaker has much more powerful powers and functions than Mjolnir. The biggest difference lies in Stormbreaker's ability to summon a Bifrost bridge to go anywhere instantly. Mjolnir also does not have this ability and can only make the user fly quickly.

Then, in the comic version, Stormbreaker also has the ability to detonate if an unworthy person tries to lift it. Its ax-like shape also makes Stormbreaker much more dangerous when fighting enemies because it is a sharp weapon.

The enormity of the power that Stormbreaker has even had time to make Thor refuse to use it. Because, the God of Thunder thought that he did not deserve to have such a powerful object.

5. Skrulls once managed to split Stormbreaker in two

In the Secret Invasion arc , the alien race of Skrulls once managed to get Stormbreaker from Beta Ray Bill's grasp. Interestingly, the Skrulls then split Stormbreaker into two and created two new weapons that were no less powerful. What makes it even weirder is that Skrull warriors can easily use Stormbreaker which has been split in two, even though it's not worthy .

With Thor's help, Beta Ray Bill was able to get Stormbreaker again. However, this moment is enough to prove that Stormbreaker can also be dismantled like a weapon in general. In addition, the alien race of Skrulls also seems to have the ability to make them worthy as users of the weapons of the gods.
