Disney+ series What If…? unveiled a whole load of shocking revelations and details that most Marvel fans had been wondering about. For the longest time, viewers believed that Asgardian gods are invincible and that Thor and Loki are the toughest to defeat, but it seems there is someone strong enough to kill them both.
What If…? Season 2 just recently dropped, and the series will consist of nine episodes. Many questions will be raised as well as answered in the show, and fans will be in for an exciting ride as it drops new episodes each day until December 30.
What If Season 2 Reveals Ten Rings Could Actually Defeat Asgardian Gods
In a post from Twitter, user Blurayangel shared “Heimdall tells Odin that the Ten Rings can kill a God.” These powerful weapons are more dangerous than what people expect because they provide the user with a series of mystical powers.
The tweet also postulated that “if Kang or any new big villain in the MCU gets their hands on them, they could have the power to kill Thor or Loki.” Check out the post below:

The Ten Rings is a set of ten hung gar iron rings of unknown origin, acquired by Xu Wenwu during the Middle Ages. These gave him absolute power and allowed him to build his own army recognized as the formidable Ten Rings. Fans first heard about them in Robert Downey Jr.’s Iron Man and Paul Rudd’s Ant-Man.
Can the Ten Rings actually kill Chris Hemsworth’s Thor or even Tom Hiddleston’s Loki? In a translated post from MCU Fandom, Ying Li said to Shang-Chi:
“The legend of the Ten Rings has been told for thousands of years. Every generation, the story grows. But at its center, there is always one man. Some say he found the rings in a crater or stole them from a tomb. They gave him the strength of a god and the gift of eternal life.”
If one receives the power of the Ten Rings, then that means they can hold the world in their hands and destroy even the powerful Asgardians, as Heimdall claimed.
Marvel Theory Suggests Kang The Conqueror Created Ten Rings
While Kang the Conqueror is already a life-threatening villain that looms around the entire Marvel Cinematic Universe, his possession of the Ten Rings would intensify his power even more and accelerate his domination. However, a theory from Reddit suggested that Kang actually created the Ten Rings.
“A lot of the infrastructure in Kang’s city looks remarkably familiar to the design of the ten rings from Shang Chi. What if the rings are simply advanced technology that Kang brought back in time and gave to Wen Wu in order to eventually create Shang Chi for a part of his plan in Kang Dynasty?”
Now, this seems like an intriguing and plausible theory, though fans have to wait for quite some time as Marvel Studios slowly unfolds the truth behind these wild guesses. In the meantime, fans can now stream the latest episodes of What If…? Season 2 on Disney+.
