Brokk and
Sindri, using the heart of a dying star, which was dipped into the water of a magical spring,

In the
Marvel Comics Universe, the composition of Mjölnir is a bit more complex. It is still depicted as being made from a fictional, ultra-dense metal known as
Uru, which is found in the heart of a dying star. Uru is described as being magical as well as incredibly durable and strong. The hammer's enchantments are attributed to Odin, Thor's father, who placed a spell on it that allows only those who are deemed worthy to lift it.
