Andvaríe

Andvarie is a fictional element appearing in Marvel Comics, primarily associated with Thor and the Norse mythology-inspired realms. It is often depicted as a magical substance or ore with unique properties, sometimes related to enchantment or the forging of powerful artifacts. Its exact nature and origin can vary slightly across different comic book storylines, but it consistently plays a role in the creation or enhancement of weapons and armor within the Asgardian pantheon.

The most prominent use of Andvarie is in the creation of Mjolnir, Thor's iconic hammer. While the primary enchantment of Mjolnir comes from Odin, the Andvarie is often cited as a key component in its forging, contributing to its immense power and magical abilities. It is also sometimes mentioned in connection with other enchanted Asgardian weapons or armor, suggesting its importance in their magical metallurgy. The lore surrounding Andvarie often ties it to ancient dwarven craftsmanship or the inherent magical energies of Asgard itself. Its presence underscores the rich, magical elements that define the Marvel Universe's interpretation of Norse mythology.
