Mjolnir

Lightning god's mallet

Mjolnir is the hammer of Thor in Norse mythology, forged by dwarves and capable of leveling mountains.

It always returns to Thor's hand after being thrown.

The name means "crusher" or "lightning." In contemporary usage, Mjolnir appears frequently in Marvel comics and films, where only those deemed worthy can lift it: He tried to pick up Mjolnir but it wouldn't budge.
