Cull Obsidian's Chain Hammer was a massive weapon utilized by Black Order member Cull Obsidian.
History
Attack on Greenwich Village
Under orders from Thanos, Cull Obsidian along with Ebony Maw invaded Earth and descended in New York City. During the invasion, Obsidian used his hammer to fling Iron Man down the street and into Washington Square Park where he continued his attack, transforming his hammer into a shield to block blasts from Iron Man and continued his attack. Obsidian eventually overpowered Iron Man and knocked him down into the ground, but before he could crush Iron Man with his hammer, Spider-Man intervened and effortlessly held the hammer back.
Tossing Spider-Man aside, Cull Obsidian used his hammer as a massive pair of pliers to trap him and throw him away. He then continued to fight both Iron Man and Spider-Man, once again using the hammer to block Iron Man's blasts and to strike him, although he could not break through Iron Man's own shield. Cull Obsidian then once again used the hammer as pliers, restraining Iron Man on the ground, but before he could land the final blow, he was forced through a portal by Wong, stranding him in the Arctic.[1]
Battle of Wakanda
Cull Obsidian reclaimed his hammer in prevision for a large battle against the defenders of Earth. Upon joining the battle, Cull Obsidian violently struck War Machine, causing him to fall on the ground, and then laid waste on the battlefield, killing many Wakandan soldiers before Black Panther arrived to confront him in person.
Cull Obsidian then assisted Corvus Glaive in his fight against Vision, hitting the android with a violent blow. He was then confronted by Bruce Banner in a Hulkbuster armor and used the hammer to take Banner with him for a one-to-one combat. Cull Obsidian used his hammer with proficiency against Banner, managing to rip one of his armor's arms with his hammer. However, Cull Obsidian was eventually defeated and killed by Banner.[1]
