Basically, I need input from Marvel experts on this potential upgrade for both Thors (Odinson and Jane).
In Issue 12 of Mighty Thor (2016), we explore Mjolnir's (now retconned) origin, and in this issue it is revealed that Mjolnir was never created or even powered by Odin. Mjolnir is a piece of pure Uru containing and siphoning power from the Mother Storm, a sentient super-storm that stalemated Odin. I know most of us would handwave this and consider it the usual Marvel inconsistencies, but I think it's worth a try.
A few interesting scans in that issue:

A few interesting scans in that issue:
- The Mother Storm is so powerful that "Its winds blew comets off course, ripped worlds from their orbits, and snuffed out stars like flickering candles. Its lightning left clouds of dust where once were moons. Its thunder made even black holes tremble". The 3rd part is also later supported in Issue 17 of the same comic, where Jane used the power of the Mother Storm to turn "a supernova star sent hurling through space like a comet " into a cute little star . Though I'm almost certain most of the inputs would consider the black holes part flowery language, and frankly I feel the same.
- Also from the 1st scan, and what I find most interesting: The Mother Storm is a cosmic thunderstorm the size of a galaxy. Maybe I can try requesting a calc for the energy of a thunderstorm that size.
- The Mother Storm battled Odi for many days. What am I getting at here? If we can calculate the energy of the galaxy-size Mother Storm and it turns out to be less than Multi-Galaxy level, we may have to disregard the statement that Odin destroyed untold galaxies and treat it as a hyperbole. But if the energy turns out to be in Multi-Galaxy level range, then Odin stays where he is currently at, but the gap between him and wielders of Mjolnir (both Thors, and Beta Ray Bill and others that scale from them) may narrow down.
- First and foremost, we need to calculate the energy of the galaxy-sized Mother Storm. And from there...
- If it's less than Multi-Galaxy level, we may have to consider downgrading Odin and others scaled from him.
- If it's Multi-Galaxy level, we may have to consider upgrading Thor (Odinson and Jane) and others scaled from them
