Beta Ray Bill

“	You may have seen mountains rise, and skies fall, and unmasked your god. But you've never seen the face of Odin! You've never faced the power of the Thunder God... and you've never faced the Odinpower! Behold the hammer of the GODS-- The Hammer of Beta Ray Bill -- Behold STORMBREAKER!!	„
	~ Bill to Stardust

Summary

Beta Ray Bill is a fictional superhero that appears in comic books published by Marvel Comics. The character first appears in Thor #337 (November 1983) and was created by writer-artist Walt Simonson.

Debuting in the Bronze Age of Comic Books, the character was initially intended to be a surprise as an apparent monster who unexpectedly proves to be a great hero. As such, Bill becomes the first being outside of the Marvel Universe's Norse pantheon to be deemed worthy enough to wield Thor's hammer, Mjolnir. After an initial rivalry for possession of the weapon, the alien warrior was granted a war hammer of his own, called Stormbreaker, and the two reconciled as staunch allies.

Attack Potency: Galaxy level, Low Complex Multiverse level at peak (Thor spins Mjolnir and matches Bill spinning Stormbreaker on Midgard, creating a vortex to overpower the cosmic storms surrounding Asgard, sending its army back home. As a side effect of their battle with Stardust, they shook the universe by darkening the stars and knocking the planets out of their orbits. Ikon stated that he was on the same level as Quasar, Gladiator, and the Silver Surfer without restriction.)

Striking Strength: Galaxy level, Low Complex Multiverse level at peak

Weaknesses: Releasing his limiters lowers his lifespan

Feats: Has ties and wins over Thor, Silver Surfer, and Stardust.

Notable Attacks/Techniques:

• Limiter Release: Releases the limiters on his cyborg power core, temporarily increasing his speed, strength, and durability to incredible levels. In this form, he is also covered in a sheath of energy and can fire energy blasts without using Stormbreaker. However, doing this shortens his lifespan.

Note:

• Before making any changes to this page, please read and follow the Power-scaling Rules for Marvel and DC Comics.
• This profile only covers Beta Ray Bill with Stormbreaker, in the future it will be updated depending on how he handles the Twilight Sword.
• His victory against Surtur should not be used as a justification for a higher level, since the fire giant was weakened and Surtur was superior in a fight on equal terms.
• Additionally, there are special standards to be followed when scaling other characters to him, as listed in our Marvel Comics verse page.
