Hey guys, today we'll be talking about an object instead of a person. The Odinsword is a weapon that doesn't appear that much but it's powerful beyond measure and certainly worth mentioning.
The name 'Odinsword' is actually given to more than one weapon, it basically is just given to the weapon that Odin himself wields. The version we'll be talking about is the sword that appears the most.
The Odinsword also goes by the name 'the sword of Asgard' and it's huge! It is said that Odin would unsheathed it when the end of the universe is coming. In its origins story it's told that it was forged with the gold of a cursed Nibelung ring that would bring the end of Asgard. The ring brought a lot of greed with it. Odin even killed off his son Thor in greed for the ring but of course our favorite Asgardian was revived later. When Odin realized what the ring had done with him he made the dwarfs cut the jewel in two and made two rings of it. As punishment he had himself hanged with the rings on the Yggdrasil (the tree of worlds).
During his punishment he learned about the curse on the rings so he freed himself and made a sword of them trying to lift the curse.
Odin used the sword while wielding the destroyer armor, it was one of the most effective weapons Odin ever used. Thor eventually left the sword in the celestial world realizing nobody should use such a cursed weapon.
Hopefully we'll see a bit more of this weapon in future Thor franchises. I for one would love to see it on the big screen.
