I love fans. They are willing to debate any subject no matter what it is or how important it might actually be. Let us take up the subject of Stan Lee, who may be one of the most beloved “characters” in the Marvel Cinematic Universe, thanks to his hilarious cameos in each film. (The fact that he had a hand in creating many of Marvel’s most popular characters along with Jack Kirby might also have something to do with it.) But it is not the power of his humor that is being questioned. It is the power of the Super Flowbee he used to cut Thor’s hair in Thor Ragnarok. Is it possible that the legendary creator had the most powerful weapon in the MCU? This is the theory that some fans put forward.
It was noticed that in Thor: Ragnarok Thor’s hair remained relatively intact after taking on the full unfettered force of the star that powered the Nidavellir forge. Remember this star melted the “Uru” (Not sure what “Uru” is, but that is how the hammer was always referred to in the comics) metal that made both of Thor’s hammers. However, the multi bladed gas turbo cutter from Ronco, easily was able to give the Asgardian a tidy haircut. It soon became a debate about how powerful Lee’s weed wacker hair trimmer actually was. After discussing the scientific differences between the properties of heat and a quality blade, it then was mentioned that Asgardians have been shown fighting with swords as opposed to energy weapons. This, in turn, lead to the idea that it isn’t that Lee’s device is extra mighty, it’s just that it plays upon an existing Asgardian weakness when it comes to blades.
Of course, when discussing the all purpose possible power of Stan’s Thor-a-Matic, it turned to a question if perhaps Lee should be the one to defeat Thanos in Avengers 4. After all, blades that mighty would certainly be enough to take out the Mad Titan…because he certainly doesn’t need a haircut.
How about it GVNation? Want to see Stan the Man deliver some frontier justice to Thanos with his blades of steel? Let’s hear it Kids.
