The enchantment on Mjolnir isn't about being a super good guy, it's about being worthy to rule Asgard according to Odin's ideals. Doom is worthy of ruling everything, as he's proven on multiple occasions.

Pretty sure not all universe have the need to be worthy
Fact: In the actual myths, Mjolnir could be used by Thor because not of the whole worthiness thing but because of his magic gloves and belt that allowed it to use it safely.

It's like that in D&D too. You don't even need to be attuned to the gauntlets and belt to attune to the hammer. Just wearing them.

Not only that, but the handle actually broke during the forging process in the myth (or a larger one couldn't be made because of Loki pranking Brok and Sindri, depending on version) and Thor was the only one who could use it effectively because of the unwieldy handle size and safely because of what you mentioned.

versions of hulk have actually lifted the hammer! the way it works in the comics is that it continuously gains mass whenever the person trying to lift it is unworthy. hulk tries to lift it, it gains mass, he gets frustrated and angry. the more angry he gets, the stronger he becomes. it’s gets to the point where hulk’s rage/strength outgrows the increase of mass.

There's also I believe a nameless paramedic at one point. Worthiness to wield Mjolnir is not owed exclusively yo characters of importance. I like that.
All I learned here is that it's impossible to have a consistent ruleset for a universe with this many authors.
In Mark Waid’s Indestructible Hulk run, Hulk managed to lift Mjolnir by getting angrier and stronger than the hammer’s spell could defend against
Venom's time was such a flex. He didn't just pick it up, he literally SUMMONS IT OUT OF ODINSON'S HANDS
technically everyone who's ever picked up thor *while* he was holding the hammer, has also picked up the hammer. That's called the transitive property. So basically everyone thor has ever fought has picked up the hammer at least once.

Mr Fred Rogers can easily lift and wield it, while making a lesson about life itself comparing it to lifting the hammer (broad strokes: some find it easy, some find it hard, but ultimately, everyone is strong in different ways). He wouldn't lift it, but he could, and in an (obviously non-canon) fan comic, this actually happened. context: Thor was installing lightning rods in the Neighborhood on behalf of Shield, to "protect it from any storms (he) may be involved in".
You missed a kind of obvious and big one in this list- Big Daddy Odin.

You forgot about Magneto, the Master of Magnetism. He was able to lift Mjolnir, via his magnetic powers. All he had to do was reverse the polarity, like the human magnet that he is.
The best moment is when Eddie Brock welds the Surfers board and Mjolnir at the same time, in order to slay the king in black
You forgot one, Magneto. Kept bringing up how certain people didn't really wield it, especially for Hulk in space, but Magneto used his power to use the hammer. I thought Black Widow did at some point, but I guess not.
God the King in Black ending was the most 90's thing to happen outside of the 90's, AND THEN, AND THEN VENOM FUSES TWO OF THE MOST POWERFUL THINGS IN THE MARVEL UNIVERSE AND STRAIGHT UP BECOMES A TODD MCFARLANE TOY. But DAMN it was cool.
That venom bit was freaking awesome
7:13 The whole point of that story was that Doom ended up not being able to lift the hammer. Does whoever makes these do any research because i still remember when they showed a frame of Superman Prime and called it Ultraman

Hulk way is the most fun! :D
Zeus was an act of pure might, Dr Doom had it manipulated, Red Hulk had used the manipulation of gravity and strength, Hulk was just manipulating the momentum and allowed Thor to still hold so it wasn’t heavy, Storm used her own lightning powers and strength also with Thor still carrying the hammer deflected it on to Thor’s head and broke it, and Silver Surfer picked up Thor’s hammer because in the end he had a last ditch effort of pure heroism to defeat Thanos and became worthy at the time
I've a question: do you guys think a hero like Daredevil could be worthy to lift the hammer? Someone with a strong sense of morality but with whole lot of self-doubt and demons he's constantly battling internally. Could he do it? Why or why not?
Nice!
By the mists of fire and ice ❗️
Okay the reason Superman lifted Thor’s hammer was not because he’s worthy it was because Odin saw the situation and granted him access to wield it you can’t be worthy for a moment and not be able to pick up the hammer again Superman is weak to magic so it would just make him weaker and Superman already has a shit ton of powers so he does not need something that just adds to it so in conclusion Superman is not worthy

My favorites that have wielded the hammer. Superman, venom, silver surfer and that's it.
I think the comic book version, worthiness is you can't be tempted by its power, selfish and willing to kill when absolutely necessary.

You are absolutely wrong about superman being worthy. Let me guess...you just saw the panel and did not read the rest? After the fight, superman tries to lift Mjolnir to give it to Thor but...HE WAS NOT ABLE TO LIFT IT. Translations might change, since I read it in my native tongue (spanish). But Thor explained that Odin, in times of great danger or need, is not as strict as always...meaning that he turned off the worthy enchantment just for a moment.
“He wielded lightning with the power of mjolnir!!” “Oh yea that happened to my buddy eric once”
For Superman, Odin lifted the worthiness enchantment temporarily, not because Superman was unworthy but because he was sort of too worthy. Thor is a warrior, and is therefore willing to kill. Superman however is not, which means he doesn’t fit that particular criteria.
Storm beating WW was silly, at least the way they did it. The lightning could have done the trick, but one hit from WW would have ended Storm, and she got that hit in.

title: Thor's Hammer Mjolnir me: Hammer's mjolnir
Does anyone have any idea as what constitutes as worthiness?
It's cool that Thor now has a axe named storm breaker
What about Miguel O' Hara aka Spider-Man 2099? 🤔
Aunt Mae could probably juggle three of them. Oh, yeah, and leaving out Odin seemed silly.
Now anyone can hold it nothing is sacred in marvel comics anymore
It wasn’t Mjolnir that deemed Thor unworthy it was Thor that deemed himself unworthy and yes theirs a big difference
JLA/Avengers story was a remake of Contest of Champions and nothing special. The best part was Thor laying Superman out, and when Superman first tried to lift the hammer he couldn't. Eric Masterson was cool.
MoonKnight has held his hammer
as a fellow Eric, can confirm Masterson was worthy

I think it was it worldbreaker hulk comic, whete Hulks power grew so fast the hammer... Which means Hulk got stronget than mojlner could het heavier.
That's not venom. That was eddie brock, because if you read it carefully. Venom and Eddie was forced to separate
I would imagine that DC's Captain Marvel (Shazam) would be worthy.
He only question I have now is why does Zeus hate spunk? 0:39
I'll add another possible justification for Doom. Maybe, just maybe he was worthy since he was in hell, he might as well be one of the few worthy beings in hell at the time if not the only one.
Who was worthy? What happened to them? I can't wait to find out.
I hate to be that guy but it wasn't actually venom. When the uniforce possess Eddie Brock it told him to choose a form. And Eddie chose to look like venom even though they weren't used at the time.
It is an Arthurian Stone analogy.. /-correct?

Ugh, why does everyone keep saying that beta ray bill beat Thor and lifted mjolnir in their 1st meeting, it didn't happen that way,when thor and bill 1st fought thor was still under that 60 second rule where he had to have physical contact with mjolnir, thor had missed recovering his hammer after throwing it and while battling bill time had ran out and thor turned into dr. Blake and the hammer turned into the walking cane, bill then knocked out blake and then took the cane and unintentionally struck it against the wall ,that's how he gained thor's power and hammer, go back and read it

A LIST OF ALTERNATE VERSIONS OF HEROES I ENVISION BEING WORTHY OF WIELDING MJOLNIR: I imagine in a different dimensional realm an alternate version of SHE-HULK is worthy of wielding magic weapon Mjolnir. I also imagine in another dimensional realm the alternate version of (ELIJAH BRADLEY) is worthy of wielding MJOLNIR. I imagine in a different dimensional realm, an alternate version of (Natasha Romanoff) aka BlackWidow, she is chosen to be worthy of wielding MJOLNIR. I also imagine in another dimensional realm, an alternate version of (Steve Rogers) aka HYDRA-STOMPER, he is chosen by MJOLNIR to be worthy of wielding it, and I imagine a unbelievable transformation happens to Steve’s body once he first is holding MJOLNIR in his hand. In addition I imagine more enhancements happens to Steve’s body; For instance I imagine that his bones become as strong as iron, I imagine that his immune-system is much stronger than it was before, and I imagine that he becomes a more taller in hight that what he was before, and to add I imagine that his body is able to keep most of the powers when he isn’t wielding the powerful weapon MJOLNIR.
