The character first appears in Thor #337 (Nov. 1983) and was created by writer-artist Walt Simonson. 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.
I found him in Mexico!
ReplyDeleteCool! Great figure.
DeleteI love this figure. I hope they decide to do a new Marvel Legends scale of Beta Ray Bill in the near future.
ReplyDeleteCool character. And his introduction in our Marvel Universe was a lot of fun! While playing we did part of his original storyline but added new things in. Isaac really liked it.
DeleteThank you!!!!
