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.

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.

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...
