One of the most anticipated superhero flicks of the Marvel Universe, Thor Ragnarok, will be unleashed this Friday. The fans will witness an epic battle between Thor and Hulk, Loki teaming up with Thor and Marvel’s awesome first female villain Hela. Along with all this, we hear Thor aka Chris Hemsworth will lose his iconic Hammer. The trailers and promos indicate the same as Thor is seen without his weapon of destruction, and looks like it has gone to the evil forces! As we prepare to see Thor stripped of his powers, lets’ take you back to the movies in which Superheroes lost their superpowers!
No stars & stripes: Captain America: Civil War
At the end of Captain America: Civil War, after an intense fight with Ironman, Steve Rogers aka Captain America disables Tony Stark’s armour and departs with Bucky, leaving his shield behind. When he reappears at the end of the movie to break out his allies from The Raft, the superhero prison in the middle of the ocean, it’s without the stars and stripes.
Enough of power
Superman II
In Superman II Superman decides that he wants to be human and spend his life with Lois Lane. He travels to his Fortress of Solitude and he exposes himself to red sunlight, which causes him to lose his powers.
Temporary loss
Spiderman 2
Peter Parker, secretly the superhero Spiderman, is estranged from both love interest Mary Jane and best friend Harry Osborn, and additionally discovers his Aunt May is facing eviction. He also finds himself suffering temporary, but recurring losses of his powers.
Lost & found: The Dark Knight Rises
Christian Bale aka Batman is shown weakened, mentally and physically devastated, becoming a recluse, broken by the death of his childhood sweetheart Rachel Dawes, and Wayne Enterprises is losing profits. He is soon taken prisoner underground abroad but recovers his strength and escapes.
Weak claws: Logan
Hugh Jackman as Wolverine sees himself weakened and unable to restore the same strength of his claws in Logan, as he fights for his daughter. We see Logan helpless many a time in the movie!
No match: Dawn of Justice
Another mega superhero clash witnessed the weakening of a superhero and it was Superman. When Superman stood against Batman, the Bat of Gotham was of no match to the God until Batman spelled him with kryptonite making him lose all his powers and giving the bat an equal fight!
