[edit] Separate Entries?

This may be more effective broken into separate entries. I notice that some of this entry has been borrowed from the pre-existing Everyday Life in the Marvel Universe entry, one which this one is currently similar to. (This entry does, however, have a few items not commonly known in the Marvel Universe). --Chris Griswold 08:43, 16 April 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Mjolnir

Thor's Hammer, Mjolnir, was not created specifically for the Marvel Universe. It is featured prominently in Norse Mythology, and remains a semi-religious symbol to this day for many scandanavians.

True, but because it is featured heavily in the MU (and wielded by a character who's featured heavily in the MU), I could see an argument for including it in the list. Though, to be more accurate, the Artifact sections should then have a line added to the effect of "In addition, some items from mythology have been prominently featured in the MU."

Additionally, some of the mythology and properties of Marvel's Mjolnir are specific to that version. Like the whole "must be worthy to pick it up" thing. --Chris Griswold 01:16, 15 July 2006 (UTC)
