So who is worthy of possessing powerful godhammer? Who is not??
I know Diana can, since she did in MvsDC vol. 1.

I believe I have a card that stated Captain America was once able to lift the hammer. But be probably can't "weild" it in the sense of actually using it in a fight.
Beak can weild the mighty hammer.
There was an issue of Thor where he and Cap were fighting a bunch of trolls (no, not the internet variety) and Thor was down. Cap picked up the hammer and was swinging it around and smashing trolls left and right. This was way back when Cap had stopped being Captain America and was calling himself just "The Captain", wearing the outfit that U.S. Agent now wears.Originally Posted by HartyPotter
It might have been this issue:

Beta Ray Bill is also capable of lifting Mjolnir. See Thor #337-338.

If Thor's up and about, only Thor can wield it. Or at least that's what he said in JLA/Avengers.
eric masterson and odin can as well. if alternate timelines count, woden can wield his hammer
Anyone who buys Thor dinner and a couple of drinks has a decent shot at grasping his mjolnir. ;)
Didn't Zeus catch it once?
The robotic version of Gabriel the Air-Walker was able to pick up Mjolnir. He wasn't worthy, but since he was just a sophisticated machine, the worthiness restriction didn't apply to him. So I assume that Vision, Machine Man and even Ultron could pick up the hammer.
As for worthiness, since Captain America was worthy, I assume that Photon and Quasar would also be worthy, since they both seem to have the same kind of ethics as Cap.

also The Destroyer has wielded Thor's hammer, perhaps supporting the robot theory; although you'd think that the magucalk uru hammer could detemrine the intent of the robots, even though they are usually amoral and thus theoreticaly pass any worthiness testOriginally Posted by Shellhead
Has anyone mentioned Red Norvell?
same kind of ethics may not be enough. It would be cool to compile an ultimate list of who has been show to be capable of holding thor's hammer; in which case Photon & Quasar wouldn't qualify as we presume they might, rather than have seen them do it.As for worthiness, since Captain America was worthy, I assume that Photon and Quasar would also be worthy, since they both seem to have the same kind of ethics as Cap.

I was thinking about Red Norvell, but I don't remember if he ever got to use Mjolnir. I think he had his own imitiation hammer, and I'm not sure that he was ever very worthy in terms of behavior.Originally Posted by venuscameback

As originally created Don Blake was a normal dude who could use it and Eric was to later on, and neither of them are as Heroic as Cap.
I think Cap has held used it twice that I know of.
Livign things worthy of the Hammer:
Captain America
Beta Ray Bill
Odin
Eric MAsterson

Here's something interesting.
Vikings, and their gods, respected power, and how much battle you did. Could "worthiness" be judged not only by ethics, but by how strong you are in a battle?
Wonder Woman is a warrior, Cap a soldier...
