Could Thor's hammer absorb Lantern (any of the colors) light, and if so or if not, explain why?

Discuss.

Silent Master
Thor has been shown to absorb multiple types of energy, why would their's be any different?

Maybe, maybe not.

Blight
Has he absorbed hard light/energy? Most energy I've seen him absorb was not so corporeal.

JakeTheBank
The only colors he'd have issues with or be unable to outright effect would be White and Black.

PillarofOsiris
I believe he could.

I don't think Mjolnir has ever failed to absorb an energy (Can't think of anything right now at least), and it's come up against some really exotic shit. It can even absorb the Power Cosmic, I'm willing to beat most Lantern's are f*cked if Thor goes for energy absorption.

Like I all things though, it depends on the writer.

Wasn't he unable to drain zombie cap and quicksilver when fighting Presence?

Silent Master
I don't recall Thor trying to absorb them.

He did however absorb the Presence, who is made of the same energy.

What? That never happened.

He never attempted draining them. The only time he resorted to energy absorption in that story was against the Presence who got owned hard. Tbf Thor was all wrathful God when he thought Steve died.

Even made that devout Christian, question her religion, lol.

Ok, I heard he wasn't able to drain them. Thanks for the clarification.

I just skimmed through the issue, and I have no idea what the guy was talking about.

Here's the entire confrontation if you're interested:

He only resorted to energy absorption once in that story, and it was pure ownage.

I actually remember laughing at that stupidity. The writer doesn't know the first thing about Firebird. Here is Thor (and the other Avengers) struck down dead (when the Grandmaster tricked Death and usurped her position).

Here are the West Coast Avengers and the Surfer hunting down a fellow Elder of the Universe and seeking a way to enter Death's realm and confront the Grandmaster. He tells them he has a poison that will kill any living being in the universe. Simon and some of the other Avengers doubt this. Simon says he's a being of living energy and cant' die. The Collector says EVERYONE and EvERYTHING will die, himself included, even Death. And then hands them the poison to drink. Every single one of them die, with one exception :

Firebird is beyond Death. Even the Collector marveled at this.

Why would a being that will outlive even the gods be impressed by a big storm and light show? It's called crap writing.

Digi
Thor has absorbed magic energy, psychic energy, all types of EM spectrum energy. Even the more esoteric rings like Black and White use actual energy beams/fields/constructs/etc. to accomplish their goals. The very fact that we can see their affects suggests that it's working on some kind of EM level, and not entirely in the abstract.

Obviously we can't know for sure. But "yes" seems like a fairly safe default.

Existere
Based on what we've seen in the comics, they should fall under Thor's purview. That being said, all emotional energy exists solely to be manipulated by one of the Lanterns, and Thor's ability to absorb/redirect it would probably measure up against their capacity to manipulate it, and how much control they had.

To take it a step farther, willpower is an inherent part of green lanterns light, as is rage to red, etc. The measure of those emotions probably (cause, ultimately, I'm just guessing here) comes in to determining whether Thor could make their respective energy constructs his b*tch.

manhunters are tools and they can absorb it easily

the question was whether he could absorb the black light from the bl zombies which i said i doubt he could do. i did show the zombie scans in that avengers arc to support the idea as they were about the closest thing i could think of at the time to the bl zombies. could he have absorbed their energies had he tried? perhaps. would he have killed them had he done so? since he thought they were dead already, that doesn't make much sense to me, but maybe he didn't want to do that to cap and the others. that would be pure speculation but, who knows. what we know is he did not do so and seemed surprised that starlight could. i never said that he was incapable of absorbing the zombie energy--only that he didn't. why he didn't is open to speculation.


could he absorb spectrum light? ss (albeit in a x-over) had no problems. i doubt thor would be different. black and white light would be a different story imo.
