As the Avengers and their allies are overwhelmed by Thanos' army of Outriders in Wakanda, Thor arrives via Bifröst and uses Stormbreaker to turn the tide of the battle. The axe is capable of conjuring massive lightning attacks, allows Thor to fly, destroy entire Outrider ships, and serves as a two-handed offensive weapon. Thor throws the axe at Thanos and it pierces through an energy beam produced by a fully completed Infinity Gauntlet. The axe pierces Thanos in the chest, but he manages to snap his fingers and erase half of all life before opening a portal and escaping. During the events of "Avengers: Endgame" (2019), Thor uses Stormbreaker to decapitate Thanos after learning he has destroyed the Infinity Stones.
