First Appearance: Marvel Universe Millennial Visions 2001 (February, 2002)
History: (Marvel Universe Millennial Visions 2001 - "The Marvel Universe:
Hammer Time") - Odin bestowed his son Thor with a mystical Uru hammer called
Mjolnir and cast an enchantment on it that allowed anyone who touched it,
if they be worthy, to gain the power of Thor. Unfortunately, Thor failed
to impress his father Odin by saving the Earth dozens of times and Odin thought
his son to be lazy, overconfident, unachieving, and a delinquent. In order
to punish his son, Odin took away Mjolnir from Thor and decided to give enchanted
Uru hammers to Thor's allies in the Avengers. While Thor now carried a normal
carpenter's hammer, Odin thought to himself that perhaps his son would one
day become a doctor.
