Can Hulk get mad enough to break the enchantment and lift Thor's hammer?

**Jake V** · 12-20-2005, 01:15 AM

Nope. He's not worthy.

**Sharcque** · 12-20-2005, 01:34 AM

I'd say 'yes'. If allowed to get mad enough and uninterrupted, then 'yes'.

thor's hammar is not a question of weight in the sense that we see it. its a little like excalibar, the sword in the stone. only the worthy may lift it, i know captain america has lifted it at least once.

True, but i think the Hulk can get to a level where he's just too powerful for the enchantment. I have heard, but not seen, that Hulk can punch through the barriers between dimensions if he's angry enough. Also remember an enchantment is not finite, it is only as powerful as the person who cast it. I know it was Odin that cast it and he's got skill with magics and power to back it up, but if left alone to just grow madder and madder the Hulk can lift the hammer, Hulk has no limit to his power, Odin does.

Yeah, but I'm pretty sure that Hulk would get knocked out long before he got angry enough to put the hurt on Odin.

i read somewhere that Gaea , thor's mom could lift the hammer using her telekinesis.

other then that only odin (the one who gave the hammer the enchantment) and anyone who was worthy could lift the hammer.
yes even thor has to be worthy , just look at the reigning.

also that future's king thor was able to lift the hammer using the odinforce(but then again this king thor destroyed captain america's shield with one blast, THAT'S POWER).

After Beta Ray Bill was granted the power of Thor because he was worthy, Odin made Thor's enchanted hammer more specific in that only Thor can wield his own hammer.

In the Marvel Universe, magic always trumps science. For instance, if the Juggernaut (can't be stopped) ran into the Blob (can't be moved), the Blob would move. In the same way, the Hulk can't lift Thor's hammer. Until we get a story indicating otherwise, that's my final answer.

"Future Imperfect" and the "Myth Conceptions" storyline especially (Hulk 421-423) show that the Hulk can't lift Thor's Hammer. Nothing to do with weight, as Rick Jones said, he was just never worthy.

I remember when Cap lifted it but I can't remember what issue it was in.

Didn't Captain America lift Thor's hammer after that?

Then how did Eric Masterson wield it?
