History
Once upon a time, Thor's father Odin, ruler of Asgard, bestowed upon his son the mystical Mjolnir, an enchanted Uru hammer that could only be lifted by the one being Odin deemed worthy enough to possess its power. Seemed like an easy way to make his father proud. But as Thor would soon discover, it's tough to impress your dad when he's the leader of the gods. Despite having saved the earth dozens of times, young Thor continued failing to meet his father's impossibly high standards of Asgardian excellence. Believing his son to be a lazy, overconfident, underachieving delinquent of a god, Odin decides to teach Thor discipline and humility by confiscating Thor's magical mallet. Odin giveth, Odin taketh away. To add further insult to injury, Odin has now given enchanted Uru hammers to each of Thor's Avenger pals in order to constantly remind Thor of his own unworthiness. Each of these enchanted hammers can easily be lifted by an Avenger... any Avenger, except for Thor, that is. So in Mjolnir's place, Thor now carries a humble carpenter's hammer. Thor, god of thunder... a carpenter? Verily, this is no role for the son of gods who walks amongst mortals! Indeed, Odin is practicing tough love Asgardian-style, and is determined to see his son live up to his potential and eventually make something of himself. "One day," thinks Odin, "my son shall become a doctor!"
