Warning: Contains spoilers for Marvel Zombies: Dawn of Decay #2! Mjolnir was famous Thors strongest weapon and greatest ally throughout Marvel Comics history, and even in the MCU. However, this should not suggest that Mjolnir can never be turned against Thor. In fact, another MCU icon just defeated the God of Thunder in the Avengers’ last mission to save the world in Marvel Comics, and he did it by turning Mjolnir against him.
in Wonder Zombies: Dawn of Decay #2 by Thomas Krajewski and Jason Muhr The Avengers have been infected by an alien virus that turns them all into plant-like zombies (reminiscent of the zombies featured in The last of us). The one who brought the ‘zombie virus’ to Earth is Groot, who only showed symptoms of a common cold – sneezing, runny nose, etc. begins to mutate into a plant-like zombie before immediately infecting the other Avengers.
Before long, the zombie virus that Groot brought to Earth has infected everyone in New York City, including one Avenger whose pious might isn’t enough to ward off the infection: Thor. Thor’s zombified status leads to a fight between himself and the Hulk before Groot intervenes. In an effort to end the fight, Groot uses his vines as ropes, tying one end to Mjolnir and the other to a nearby tank. When Thor summoned Mjolnir, he unexpectedly had a tank fly at him as well, and tackled the god of thunder to the ground as he continued to mutate, trapping him indefinitely.
Groot used his head to beat Thor, but that wasn’t the only way he could have won
Groot has the potential to become an entity capable of consuming entire planets
Groot defeated Thor by outmaneuvering him Dawn of Decay – adding insult to injury by weaponizing Mjolnir against him – but one of the latter Guardians of the Galaxy Comic Runs confirms that Groot may very well have beaten Thor the old fashion way. in Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 7, Groot takes on a terrifying new form called Grootspace, transforming into a gargantuan cosmic beast capable of consuming and assimilating entire planets.
If Groot taps into even a fraction of his Grootspace form, it’s safe to say that Thor wouldn’t stand a chance against him. Groot would simply overtake the God of Thunder, cutting him off from Mjolnir or any other weapon that Thor had access to before crushing him under the immeasurable weight of Groot’s planet-sized form. Although it is possible that Groot could overpower Thor, Dawn of Decay That proves to be unnecessary, as Groot can defeat the God of Thunder with nothing more than his wits alone.
Groot isn’t the first MCU hero to use Mjolnir against Thor
Moon Knight humiliates Thor with Mjolnir in Avengers Vol. 8 #33
Groot may be the last MCU hero to use Mjolnir against Thor, but he’s certainly not the first. in Avengers #33, Moon Knight absolutely humiliates Thor with Mjolnir while the two are fighting on the moon. Since Mjolnir is made of Oru and was forged on Nidavelir (which roughly translates to “new moon”), it is technically made of ‘moonstone’, meaning Moon Knight is able to control it. So, when Thor attacked him, Moon Knight quickly took control of Mjolnir and beat Thor to a pulp with his own weapon and easily defeated him.
