The cyborg champion of the Korbinites, Beta Ray Bill guarded his people as they fled attacks by fire demons. When he encountered Thor and proved himself worthy to wield Mjolnir, Odin bestowed upon him the powers of Thor, as well as Stormbreaker, an equally powerful hammer. Using this new weapon, Beta Ray Bill would travel the cosmos righting wrongs, but he was always available whenever Thor needed his assistance.
he is thors equal in very way.... but he has a meaner streak and isnt as cocky... he also practically killed Galactus single handily..... but i see people say stuff beta ray bill isnt as strong as thor or that they dont consider him a real character he more like a parody of thor......... i beg to differ Beta Ray Bill is a top tier character in the marvel U... who agrees?
@MrDirector786: mine too... fav character are captain america (steve) the thing, beta ray bill then i would have to say ghost rider and red skull round out my top five favs characters......... but i think bill needs to be pushed more cause he such a badass! come on he took out galactus by himself for crying out loud lol
@Omega Ray Jay: i dont buy comics cause im more of an action figure guy i just find other more looked down upon methods to read my comics................. arrrrrrrrrrrrgggggggggggg
@Fire-brand: i curse like a sailor lol omg its a four letter word i saw on the internet....... that dude is so going to hell ................. give me a break man.... and if ur worried about the children trust me they more than likely pick up worse stuff from their parents lol
thats just because they don't have thor doing his thing in space anmore :( one of the upcoming writers for Thor said he planed on having Thor do more cosmic things

and? i curse all the time (for the record, i had to consciously remove 5 cuss words from this post), but not on a family site. its part of the site rules. no breaks.
@oiHooliganismoi: fair enough i do like his design and he should stand out more as a character @Thor's hammmer: as long as they dont kill off beta ray lol
@jloneblackheart: likewise hopefully this will lead to more exposure cause i was honestly excepting him to show up in siege to defend asgard but that didnt happen a little disapointed about that
@Thor's hammmer: well thor use to be all about space and stuff and asgard was all technology meets magic........ they stopped that for some reason that is an aspect they should bring back to asgardian lure
He's not underrated he just sucks.He's has no personality,he's stupid looking and he's a Thor clone.Marvel could kill him off right now and it wouldn't matter.In fact I hope they do.
bill is under used not under rated. and as far as equal to Thor, he is more than equal and has proven so on both occasions. he is a far superior warrior to thor
@ghostrider fan1: That's sorta the problem. To me, Beta Ray Bill is like Rachel Grey: strong, but basically a power-copy of an existing Marvel icon. He's Thor, only an alien. It's not even that I don't like Bill, it's just that Marvel really only needs one Thor (though I'd be perfectly happy to see Thor killed off and have Bill take his place).
@WoundingFactor: ouch i like thor better than brb but you know i still like him hes really cool but i wonder if brb might become an avenger just on a differnt team that'd be cool
@Omegaman10: Beta Ray Bill has ONE thing going for him at least! He is living proof that it doesn't matter where you're from, you can STILL carry Thor's Hammer if you're deemed worthy!
he's only underrated because hardly anybody knows that he's a separate character than thor so thor gets all the glory. go figure thats classic thor for you. he allows the korbinite that looks like a yellow horse form of himself to do the dirtiest work while thor does all the fun jobs and gets credit for both.
He's not underrated he's just a lame character.He's a clone.His existence means nothing.He could be retconned out of the Marvel U and nothing will really be different.
