This is reflected in the inscription on the side of Mjolnir, which states: Whosoever holds this hammer, if he be worthy, shall possess the power of
Odin : [enchants Mjolnir] Whosoever holds this hammer, if he be worthy, shall possess the power of THOR! Young Loki : Do the Frost Giants still live?
"Whosoever holds this hammer, if he be worthy, shall possess the power of Thor". Inscription written in Norse. Whosoever holds this hammer, if he be worthy, shall possess the power of Thor.
With Thor: Love and Thunder having come out, Jane Foster (played in the movie by Natalie Portman) has taken her rightful place as one of the most famous Mjolnir-wielders. When Thor suddenly lost the ability to lift his weapon, it granted his ex, Jane Foster, the power to lift it and obtain its powers.
In the current Marvel Comics version, Thor is capable of lifting the hammer not because of his strength, but because he has been deemed 'worthy' of the honor.
Other Marvel characters have lifted Mjolnir not through worthiness but through technicalities such as absorbing Thor's powers, including the Air-Walker, Awesome Android, Magneto, Rogue, Wonder Man, and Doctor Doom.
Yes, even Spider-Man has been worthy of holding the hammer of Thor. This is not your father's Spider-Man (well, actually, it could be if your dad was a kid in 1993), but instead is the Spider-Man of Marvel's distant future of 2099!
Thanos didn't lift Mjolnir, Captain America did
With Mjolnir's worthiness enchantment resulted in Thor being able to lift the hammer only if he is considered to be worthy, but likewise, the enchantment is not discriminatory in nature, and anyone who is deemed worthy is able to lift the hammer.
Let's be clear: General Thaddeus “Thunderbolt” Ross—AKA Red Hulk—is not worthy of Thor's powers nor has he actually lifted the hammer under normal circumstances.
Yes, as a shock to many, Superman has briefly lifted the mighty hammer in a phenomenal crossover with Marvel and DC Comics.
Stormbreaker is an axe, and although it does not have such a worthiness enchantment, its power is such that a mere mortal attempting to wield it would be driven mad. Scene from Thor: Love and Thunder, in which Love wields the axe, Stormbreaker and Thor wields the hammer, Mjolnir.
Mjolnir could even temporarily project a physical form capable of talking, though this power required a great deal of energy and would likely be at least a hundred years before it could be done again.
Over the past sixty years, Mjolnir's most recognizable and iconic property has been the sentence engraved on its side: "Whosoever holds this hammer, if he be worthy, shall possess the power of Thor." This is Odin's spell, meant as a safeguard from letting the weapon fall into the wrong hands.
The legend has come true! By the will of the gods, I am alive! I am invincible! I am—Thor!!!
He saw too much of himself in his son; a brash and reckless man whose imperialistic ways would plunge the Nine Realms into chaos and launch Asgard into an age of conquest. No wonder Odin was so angry; when he judged Thor as unworthy, he was also casting judgment upon the man he used to be.
In The Unworthy Thor #5, which released in comic shops today, the words Nick Fury said were finally revealed. "Gorr was right." Three simple words that undid the God of Thunder.
All in all said, Thor was a whole can defeat Hulk. A large part of that is being able to wield Mjolnir. Hulk cannot keep up with or match Thor when fighting with this might weapon. Hulk struggled to defeat in The Mighty Thor #385 even when using three of Thor's weaknesses against him.
Hulk is practically immortal and has unlimited reserves of strength and stamina, so he can keep fighting forever. Thor's endurance, while godly, is not limitless, so he will eventually lose a prolonged battle.
And not only that, their mission is noble enough that it's earned the loyalty of Mjolnir. While it is still Thor's hammer, it won't hurt one of the Panther Kings. It's even revealed that in the past, the first Black Panther actually once wielded the hammer himself, using it in unseen battle to protect the world.
When Odin cast an enchantment over the hammer, Mjølnir became a weapon that could only be lifted by those who were deemed worthy. During Avengers: Age of Ultron, most of the Avengers were unable to lift Thor's hammer from a table.
Based on the analysis of powers, speed, strength, durability, and combat, we can safely say that Odin is stronger than Thanos and outmatches him in almost every aspect. Thanos might be among the most feared villains in the Marvel Universe, but he comes nowhere near when compared to All-Father Odin.
While no one besides Thor has been able to truly wield the awesome might of Stormbreaker, Groot was the very first being to hold this weapon when one of his arms became the handle for the mighty axe.
Thor, the god of Thunder, was undoubtedly the most powerful member of the original Avengers. His power continues to grow in the Marvel Cinematic Universe.
While Batman does have some of the characteristics that would allow him to lift Mjolnir, he also has committed several acts that disqualify him. This is a man who once kept extensive files on his allies in case he needed to take them down, files that were stolen and used against said allies.
One of the more surprising characters to lift Mjolnir was Deadpool. How was Deadpool ever worthy of Thor's hammer? That's because he wasn't. The hammer that Deadpool lifted was actually a fake one, forged by the trickster, Loki.
