This device charger takes the shape of the iconic Thor hammer used by the thunder-wielding Norse god. Just like the hefty hammer, the [battery inside the device](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/highperformance-portable-battery) weighs a whopping pound and as you might imagine, is a size to match. Fortunately, the handle on the hammer makes it easy to move around and when you do, the Mjölnir hammer becomes lit up with LED lights and makes smashing sound effects.

Because the battery is so sizeable, it has a considerable amount of power — even enough to charge tablets with its [microUSB and full-sized USB ports](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/portable-batterycharging-device).

Currently this novelty Thor hammer-shaped charging device is only available in Asia for a steep $125, but it is definitely something [comic book enthusiasts](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/super-heroes-vs-villains) will want to keep an eye out for.
