The Hammer was, according to The Life of Thor, used by its divine wielder during his glorious struggle against the Storm Gods.[2] In 2010, Thor's hammer was propelled out of his reach and to Duckburg by a volcanic eruption, ended up in the hands of Donald Duck, who had a baffled Gyro Gearloose analyze it.

After the Ducks and Santa Claus defeated Loki, Donald, with some reluctance, returned the Hammer to Thor.[3]
