Stormbreaker vs Gauntlet A discussion on Power levels.

(Spoilers) A simple discussion that I've been having with friends that I would like to discuss on an important scene in Avengers: Infinity War

     By now most of you have seen one of the most epic movies in history. Avengers: Infinity War is an amazing movie. However, my one main gripe of the movie still has not sat well with me after 3 viewings.  Maybe I missed something and you all can help me out.

     We all know at the end, Thanos has a fully powered Gauntlet with all the stones. Thor launches Stombreaker with all his might, while Thanos blast Stormbreaker with the fully powered Gauntlet. Now my problem is that Stormbreaker was able to basically brake through Thanos’ blast. Was Mjolnir ever that powerful to stop Infinity Stones? Could Thor have destroyed the Stones a long time ago? Now I get that Stormbreaker was used as a plot device to hurt Thanos, because let’s be honest, nothing was stopping him. The writers needed something that could hurt Thanos.

     The discussion I would like to have with you, the comic book movie community is about power levels. Is Stormbreaker officially stronger than all the stones put together? Did the powers cancel out and Thanos need to stop the axe in full momentum? Let me know where you stand with this in the comments. Peace!

great question imo storm breaker can be only held by a sky father i.e odin zesus realm which leads me to believe per thor's xp he's ascend to this level. eating the radiation from a dying star is insane and going thru the full might of the glove is pretty op. It was probably a writing into a corner maybe , because unless captain marvel moves a planet i won't believe she's stronger than thor's weapon. Even tho kevin's stated she will be the strongest.


storm breaker changed completely the direction of the war instantly .... not including wanda's powers holding him back with 5 stones with one hand ...... i think the writers wrote the scale of the glove to be powerful but not the levels of the comics imo

@knocturnalzen10 - I forgot about Wanda holding him back, but correct me if I'm wrong, I dont think he was giving her the blast. It was just his force she was stopping, which he knew she could not stop. At the same time, her power was created from the one of the stones, which gives reasons to believe she might be able to withstand the might of the stones had he given her a full blast.

And yes, Captain Marvel to get a true assessment of her strength, but I'm a little weary that they will be consistent on the power levels.

@sKeemAn - yes sir so that maybe the reason she was able to do so , just found it crazy she was using one hand...... i'm not even including tony being able to draw blood but strange not being able to do the same , while he using he band of sitirack ..... but that's me being a geek i guess ....

since stormbreaker could summon the bifrost, I just assumed that he sent the blast to one of the other nine realms or something

@JFerguson - the blast was curved around stormbreaker, like stormbreaker was stronger than the blast. I'm kinda taking it as Stormbreaker and the Gauntlet must've canceled out each others powers. But Thanos never actually stopped the momentum of the axe, which is why he got hit it. Thoughts??

@sKeemAn -


yeah, you're answer is more correct

My only answer is that Thanos didn't know how to properly use the Gauntlet just yet. The fact that you wield the gauntlet doesn't mean that you can fully control it. Remeber, in the comics, Nebula got the gauntlet in the end and she couldn't control it.
You could combine this explanation with the fact that maybe Thanos was just using one stone.

If Stormbreaker isn't used to defeat Thanos in Avengers 4, then Thor's entire story in Infinity War would've been completely pointless. The point of Avengers 3 is to focus on the plot and the macguffins and not actually focus on exploring or developing the characters (except for Thanos, obviously). Thor's story in Avengers 3 didn't evolve his character that much (didn't exploit his lonelyness and didn't have to give up anything to get the hammer) so i don't think it will be plot-pointless aswell, that's what leads me to believe that Thor's hammer will indeed play a part in defeating Thanos in Avengers 4.

Will it be more powerful than the gauntlet? Maybe. But my guess is that in Avengers 4 Thanos will not have the gauntlet (at least at some point) and that's when Stormbreaker will be used to defeat him.
