History[]
The Destroyer is a magical suit of armor forged by the gods Odin, Zeus, and Brahma to help them retain their worship by human beings if the godlike race of Celestials deigned to exterminate humanity upon their next visit to Earth. A spirit, not a body, can inhabit the armor and use it to wreak havoc on his enemies. Regrettably, it is incessantly used by na'er-do-wells against Thor and Asgard.

Trivia[]
- The Destroyer's appearance in LEGO Marvel Super Heroes is based off of its incarnation in the movie Thor.
- The Destroyer is a Construction Figure, a figure built from multiple TECHNIC pieces, similar to that of the Bionicle or Hero Factory figures from LEGO.
- The Destroyer was revealed to be in the game at E3 2013, when it was shown in the official LEGO Marvel Super Heroes trailer.
- The Destroyer's release in the game is different than in the movie. Instead of being released from behind an enchanted wall, the Destroyer is instead embedded in the wall and is later pieced together upon activation. This was done to give it more of a LEGO feel.
- The Destroyer seems to have been put in the game as part of LEGO's companionship with Marvel Entertainment and their approach to model the minifigures after the Marvel Cinematic Universe variants.
