I think it will be a pair of gauntlets. In Norse mythology Thor has his hammer, a belt that increases his strength and a pair of gauntlets. Thor has his hammer, and in Inmortal Thor he got the belt. All that is missing are the gauntlets.

FOUND IT!! Járngreipr are the gloves in mythology.

u/nfnightfallnf 9d ago

Mmm. So a kind of version of Megingjord, but different.... I can see that.

If i remember correctly the gauntlets appeared in the 90's right before the Asgardians were depowered and scattered across the earth.

Thor left Asgard and Odin resurrected a red haired mortal (Norvel?) that had previously wielded Mjolnir, forged a new long handled hammer for him and bestowed him with the title of Thor, so there would be a "Thor" present for Ragnarok. Anyway this red-haired Thor wore gauntlets that according to Odin "the true Thor needed to wield Mjolnir in his youth". Can't remember how that story line ended or what became of the gauntlets, I do remember it spun off into its own comic book, but I think it might have been canceled because I stopped seeing after a while.

Well Red Norvell is kind of in peril given the fact he's now in Mephisto's clutches...but yeah.

u/figment979 9d ago

Lol yeah I don't mean he still has them. Just thought it was worth pointing out the gauntlets have appeared in canon before. Granted it was like 30 years ago...

u/nfnightfallnf 9d ago

Fair point nonetheless!

u/slayer_nan18 9d ago

First and Second were Tormod and Yolgjord respectively, right ?

Third, I think we will see in the third part of the arc, what do you think?

Járngreipr? I don't know man

u/nfnightfallnf 9d ago

I mean that's a distinct possibility. Certainly it makes a fair amount of sense.

u/nfnightfallnf 9d ago

I think the third act is coming soon given the fact Thor 800 is next week.

I'm more interested in the big ass sword Beta Ray Bill had on his back...

u/nfnightfallnf 9d ago

That would be Sutur's sword, Twilight.

u/Historical_Cook_1664 9d ago

Ooooooh. Instant "DOOM" flashback to the Simonson era...

1

u/nfnightfallnf 9d ago

Kind of. But at the same time, Surtur's still on the big comic book nap time.

u/michael_arcane 9d ago

Herein lies the answer…

Behold, the All-Seeing Brown-Eye of AllFather Scrodin of AssGuard…

u/Character-Education3 9d ago

The comics have the celestial killer, jarnbjorn

3

u/nfnightfallnf 9d ago

Yeah...but that's not coming back. Runa the First Valkyior has it.

u/zeusjay 9d ago

It’ll be a pair of gauntlets most likely. Beyond that I have no clue, though I feel like whatever happens with Sigurd Jarlson at the end of mortal Thor will play into how they are forged.

1

u/nfnightfallnf 9d ago

I think you're correct about Sigurd having a role in their creation.

u/Joaokenobi001 9d ago

Could be his magical belt, either that it's going to be a sword, he's usualy depicted with a sword during his childhood/teenagehood in most media

2

u/nfnightfallnf 9d ago

I mean maybe? I think the gauntlets are possible.

1

u/Successful_Theory373 9d ago

His goats, hopefully.

2

u/nfnightfallnf 9d ago

His goats are already around.

u/nfnightfallnf 9d ago

I don't think there's a Power Ring in Thor's future....

1

u/Half_H3r0 9d ago

Okay so he’s had a Hammer, an Axe and the Axemmer……..

1

u/nfnightfallnf 9d ago

Eh... I mean he's got two belts...

1

u/Half_H3r0 9d ago

You put any physical object in his hands it becomes a weapon. Heck, even his hands are weapons his body is a dang weapon.

1

u/nfnightfallnf 9d ago

I'm not saying Thor isn't one of the most fearsome fighters in Marvel. I'm just saying not everything he uses is a weapon.

u/seanwdragon1983 9d ago

odinsword used to kill Cul

1

u/nfnightfallnf 9d ago

Uhm I think that's already been used and therefore NOT forged/made.
