Thor Becomes Worthy Again (Thor)

In 2011’s Thor, the titular hero is stripped of his powers by his father – the Allfather Odin – when he recklessly incites hostility between Asgard and the home of the Frost Giants, Jotunheim, by going there and starting a fight.

He is sent to Earth as a result, where his resentful adopted brother Loki sends the Destroyer armour to attack him. Without his powers, Thor is helpless against it and is killed. However, in standing up to it, he regained the worthiness to wield his powerful war-hammer.

As a result, Mjolnir flies towards him and brings him back to life in a blaze of glory, at which point he proceeds to easily fend off the Destroyer by using his weapon to summon a tornado that lifts it high into the sky.
