Thor is basically a weapon for loving up frost giants. Odin wants someone who won't hesitate.

Wonder Woman is a much better candidate to be worthy than Superman, given reasonable assumptions about the Asgardian moral code.

Admiralty Flag posted:Wonder Woman is a much better candidate to be worthy than Superman, given reasonable assumptions about the Asgardian moral code. I'm pretty sure she's wielded Mjolnir too. Honestly the worthy thing has always been a bit Quasi. Classic Thor was always a very honorable character and a brave warrior but it'd be hard to say he's that much more noble than any of the major heroes in the setting, yet none of them can lift it except Cap. And then over time Thor got written as increasingly flawed and a bit of a party animal and it was like, shouldn't Wolverine be able to pick this up if this dude can?

Superman is a drat naive boyscout. Superman may be "Good", but that doesn't mean he is "worthy" by the Asgard metrics.

I love this Superman pastiche that showed up during the Incursion storyline. Essentially multiple Earths were phasing into each other, but the Illuminati had found a way to avert it every time so far, untill they run out of options and decide they're going to have to destroy an inhabited planet. That's when an an alternate universe Justice League shows up.......

The Miguel that travelled back in time and has been doing stuff over the last decade is technically from another dimension than the original 2099 timeline which had a pretty definitive end.

Skwirl posted:Eric Masterson Storm briefly did, using Mjolnir to break the fake one that Loki created for her. In What If, both Rogue and Black Widow picked up Mjolnir. Widow was depicted as worthy while Rogue's was more from absorbing Thor himself. Gavok fucked around with this message at 13:48 on Aug 28, 2019 |

If Superman had been from Oklahoma instead of Kansas Odin would have found him worthy just so he would let Odin borrow his tractor the next time Asgard needs to move in.

A pickup truck couldn’t budge Mjollnir, so it depends on who’s operating the elevator.

Maybe not often in the same series, but Optimus dying at least once is drat near a multiversal constant. I guess he doesn't always come back, but dude sure does die a lot.

Yeah, it's more a joke about the aggregate character's revolving door attitude towards death than a statement of fact regarding any particular incarnation. (Although in the later IDW comics, there was a diagnosed psychiatric disorder among Autobots called Primus Apotheosis, wherein the sufferer is driven to paint themselves red and blue with truck windows for a chest, clamp a faceplate over their mouth, and in the worse cases, sacrifice their life at the earliest opportunity for even the most remotely noble cause.)

Mjolnir was altered by Kobik at Evil Steve's request so that it said, like, "if he be STRONG" instead of "worthy". That's why Hydra Cap could wield it.

That's loving hilarious. What's the equivalent in Marvel comics? Dying your hair red and choosing a fire/bird motif?
