Comic-Con 2010: Cinematic Hammers Worthy of Thor
We're stoked for whatever Thor clips/trailers/images Marvel will reveal at this year's Comic-Con, and in an effort to quell (or fuel) our excitement, we took a look back at movie history's greatest hammers - tools to live up to the name THOR.

Tony Stark's Hammer - Iron Man
Why should Thor be the only Marvel Universe character to have a little blacksmithing fun?!
While kidnapped in Afghanistan, Tony Stark wields his own mighty hammer to build Mark I armor, which solidifies the "iron" in Iron Man.
Ramona Flowers' Hammer - Scott Pilgrim
Pulled straight from the comics and out through her subspace suitcase, Ramona's Large Hammer gives her a +2 against girls (like a certain bitchy lead singer) and has the power to melt our hearts (why can't all girlfriends carry around Viking weaponry?).
No, we haven't seen the movie yet, but is anyone going to debate putting a hammer on the list that turns 8-bit when powered up?
Interrogation Hammer - Casino
Sam 'Ace' Rothstein doesn't take kindly to cheaters. And hands don't take kindly to hammers.
The Roman's Hammer - Passion of the Christ
This Roman soldier was just Pontius Pilate's cronie in charge of hammering heretics on to crucifixes. Hey, it's a living.
Little did he realize that with a few taps of his mallet, he single-handedly paved the road for almost two thousand years of religious inspiration. And thanks to Mel Gibson, we can relive that bloody moment whenever we damn well like.
