Section II: Stormbreaker


Stormbreaker was created in the same celestial forge as Mjolnir, and was also imbued with the Odin power:

So it should come as no surprise that Mjolnir and Stormbreaker are equal in almost every way:

Stormbreaker has a tracking feature which allows it to trace the energy signatures of any being(s) it has met:

Even if said being(s) have retreated to another dimension/time, Stormbreaker can still track them:

It even recognized Galactus, who had taken the form of another entity:

Galan007
I recently received a PM about these three scans:

http://i673.photobucket.com/albums/vv95/galanphotos/th_brb_poison1-1.jpg http://i673.photobucket.com/albums/vv95/galanphotos/th_brb_poison2-1.jpg http://i673.photobucket.com/albums/vv95/galanphotos/th_brb_poison3-1.jpg

The PM basically asked how an Asgardian plant was able to take down Bill.

---

In short, a plant had nothing to do with that instance. Bill was stricken with "disenchantment". Said disenchantment was so potent that it actually removed the Odinpower from Bill, bit by bit (bringing him very close to death):

http://i673.photobucket.com/albums/vv95/galanphotos/th_brb_poison4-1.jpg http://i673.photobucket.com/albums/vv95/galanphotos/th_brb_poison5-1.jpg

(Note: Not even Odin himself was powerful enough to remove the 'virus' from Bill.)

---

The only way for Bill to be 'resurrected' was for Odin and Surfer to meld their powers into a hybrid..

"The power cosmic cleansed the cancer which was killing him (BRB) from the inside, the Odinpower regenerated dormant cellular structure":

http://i673.photobucket.com/albums/vv95/galanphotos/th_brb_poison6-1.jpg http://i673.photobucket.com/albums/vv95/galanphotos/th_brb_poison7-1.jpg

---

And finally, Surfer was only able to muck with Bill's cellular structure, because Odin allowed him to do so:

From an offensive standpoint, Skuttlebutt's blasters are capable of giving Thor himself pause:

http://i673.photobucket.com/albums/vv95/galanphotos/th_skuttlebutt3.jpg

---

Said blasters were also sufficient to harm Surfer himself to a degree:

Section VII: Skuttlebutt (continued)


Skuttlebutt can release some type of orb-droids, which have enough power to harm even the evolved version of Stardust:

---

It would also seem that Skuttlebutt possesses sufficient charges to decimate an entire world:

http://i673.photobucket.com/albums/vv95/galanphotos/th_skuttlebutt27.jpg

---

Furthermore, if Skuttlebutt's self-destruct function is enabled, it is capable of destroying entire sectors of space:

http://i673.photobucket.com/albums/vv95/galanphotos/th_skuttlebutt8.jpg http://i673.photobucket.com/albums/vv95/galanphotos/th_skuttlebutt9.jpg

Galan007
^ Bill was only blocking out the Black Sun's light in that particular area of the planet. So while the storm had to have been very large to accomplish that, it definitely wasn't the size of the sun.

Regardless, the main thing that should be taken from those scans is that Bill's storms can shield against very potent magical energies.

Sorry bud, I didn't check my post size at first and when I finally did it was too late to edit. Amd you have to thank Uberhulk ofr those scans. And the issue is Annhilators 2. Why don't you post the issue numbers in you respect threads?

Galan007
I don't have to thank anyone for those scans. I posted them 3+ years ago in this very thread(on the last page.) However, the original host I used to upload the images is no longer operational, apparently, so I reposted the scene under a different image host.

Now, lets please stop posting in this thread. I prefer my scans not get buried under off-topic commentary and whatnot. thumb up

Physically they are practically the same. Though, without Stormbreaker, unlike Thor, he's practically a brick unless he removes his power limiters. With Stormbreaker, which is supposed to be Mjolnir's equal, he is the same level as Thor. But unlike Thor, he is far more inclined to use the versatality ofhis hammer. But Stormbreaker does not have many of Mjolnir's feats, so until it does, it is below the real one.

there are a few inconsistency's like with all comics but Generally they are the same. Thor has a few "Asgardian" abilities that Bill doesn't have like the warriors madness and the Godblast (BRB has no Godly life enrgies and therefore cannot use it in a blast)

Bill has more experience with Stormbreaker than other hammer weilders like drago and eric masterson and therefore has better use of it. this gets brought up in the Thor corps when bill reverses gravity.

Thor has more experience with mjolnir than bill does with stormbreaker and therefore Thor has better knowledge of all the hammers abilities.

Stormbreaker unlike mjolnir has never had it's temporal(time) energies drained so it should still be able to travel through time.

even in the case that Thor is stronger than bill, Bill does not hold back as often/as much as Thor so is usually even more destructive.
