Hasta La Gadget!

Thanks to Tom Hiddleston’s crisp portrayal, Marvel’s Loki has quickly a popular character, a beneficiary of the world’s bizarre fascination with anti-heroes and villains. Like the Joker, Darth Vader and the other bad guys we love, the god of lies and mischief has a memorable and awesome costume.

Now you can adorn yourself in his image and show the world where your values lie with Mad Engine’s officially licensed hoodie .

You can buy the hoodie on Amazon for about $60 (USD). One customer said that the horns are a bit heavy and might pull the hood down over your eyes somewhat. How fitting.

Thor’s mighty hammer can take down enemies and destroy massive structures with a single swing. But now it can also be used to keep your bookshelf tidy too.

Gentle Giant’s upcoming Thor’s Hammer Bookend keeps your bound Marvel anthologies and graphic novels standing tall and looking proud on your bookshelf.

This cast-polystone bookend will ship sometime Q2 2014 for $99(USD). I think I’d put a large Loki figurine on the other end.

There’s apparently one aspect of Thor’s uber-powerful Mjölnir hammer that wasn’t touched on in the Thor movie or The Avengers: It works as some kind of ancient intergalactic metal detector. That’s right. When he’s not battling giant robots or his brother Loki, Thor can apparently be found wandering the beach, dragging his hammer through the sand looking for lost treasures. And so can you.

Bruce Wayne may be on permanent vacation with Selina Kyle, but that hasn’t stopped Batman from topping YouTube’s list of most popular superheroes. Based on views and amount of content, the Dark Knight is number one, racking up 3 billion pairs of eyes on 71,000 hours of video. That’s 213 trillion hours you spent watching the antics of a flying rodent with daddy issues — or roughly 42,000 views per hour of footage. More surprising than that though, is who came in second place. It wasn’t Spider-Man (seventh with 340 million views of 7,400 hours of video) or Tony Stark (fourth with 1.7 billion views of 20,000 hours of video). If you heard thunder, you heard right. Thor has 2.1 billion views and 66,000 hours of video, but only around 32,000 views per hour of tape. What does it all mean? Mjolnir’s owner is around 33 percent less popular (views per hour) than Gotham’s First Son — and he’s a god. Ouch.

That Bats has a pair of killer video games benefiting from repeat walkthrough viewings probably helps, but we imagine clips like what’re after the break do the actual heavy lifting. If you want to see if your favorite made the cut, hit YouTube’s blog from the source link below.

Sometimes Thor does things that have others shaking their heads. Like his father, for instance. But other people’s approval or disapproval don’t really sway him from what he eventually chooses to do.

Like prance, for instance.

Not that this is the real Thor, of course, because the closest thing you can come to a “real Thor” is Chris Hemsworth and I don’t think he’ll be prancing around in costume anytime soon.

The secrets of Thor’s workout routine is revealed by YouTuber EveryDayThor, who was clearly inspired by Joanna Rohrback’s epic Prancercise video. It’s pretty funny, so if you’re bored and looking for something to kill the next two minutes, then check the clip out below.
