The Mjölnir is one of the most powerful weapons in the Marvel universe, belonging mainly to Viking beliefs where its name means "devastating." Odin, the God King of Asgard gave Thor the hammer to strengthen his powers, a weapon that can only be used by worthy people who have honor, courage, power, loyalty, will and a good skill as warriors, and whoever is able to lift it will get the same powers from Thor.
The question is, What are the characters that have been able to lift the Mjölnir in Marvel? For a long time, we have been able to see some occasions when this weapon is used by other superheroes and even villains. In fact, in some UCM films it is raised by 2 very important characters.
Captain America
Captain America is one of the most honorable characters of Marvel, a soldier who gives everything to protect the innocent, and that is one of the reasons he has managed to use the Mjölnir on several occasions. In Mighty Thor # 390 of 1988, Captain America and Thor join forces to defeat the demon Seth who tries to destroy the world with his army, but he subdues Thor, which makes Steve Rogers look for the hammer and return it to your partner to level the battle.
The character also managed to get Thor's power in Fear Itself when the God of thunder loses the Mjölnir during the fight with his uncle, and he falls to the ground in the middle of a battle where Captain America is at a disadvantage after losing his shield. Thanks to this, he manages to face Serpent's army.
On the other hand, the most recent event where Captain America comes to use Thor's hammer is in the Avengers movie: Endgame of the Cinnametographic Universe of Marvel. Just when Iron Man, Thor and Captain America are in trouble during the battle against Thanos, when everything seems to be over, Steve Rogers gets back up from the ground to continue fighting, returning this time with his shield and the Mjölnir in your hands.
Vision
Vision is another being who has managed to lift the hammer in the film adaptation of Avengers: Age of Ultron. After the Avengers recovered the creator of tissues and particles, they create Vision and it leaves the room altered and then realizes that it wants to support the team, telling everyone to prepare and just then gives the Mjölnir to Thor Without any effort. It is possible that he did it by being pure by not being completely human.
Beta Ray Bill
Beta Ray Bill is an alien from the Korbinite race, he was the first non-Nordic superhero who managed to use Thor's hammer in The Mighty Thor # 337 of 1983 and from there he became one of the most famous hammer bearers of all. In a fight against Thor, Beta Ray Bill takes the Mjölnir by accident, and this is how he manages to defeat Odin's son. Seeing that it was Thor's hammer, he decides to keep the weapon for the power he grants, but that is something that only generates more fights between these characters and that is why Odin when he realizes the dignity of Beta Ray Bill, give his own weapon called Stormbreaker. Subsequently, the two bearers of the enchanted hammers ally and follow their path with the intention of doing justice in the universe.
Eric Masterson
This character manages to raise the hammer in The Mighty Thor # 408 of 1989, just when Eric Masterson is about to die after fighting with Thor against Mongoose, Odin is aware of all the good things he has done and decides that it is best to save him, but how? For the God of everything unites the two superheroes into one person, thus making Eric the Thor's human alter-ego, which allows you to use the powers of the Mjölnir while in this state. That was how they managed to defeat the enemy in order to save everyone from their evil plans.
It should be noted that it is a story similar to that of Beta Ray Bill, since after this, when Thor and Eric separate, Odin gives him a new weapon to Eric Masterson called Thunderstrike, which is a hammer with the same qualities as the Mjölnir and Stormbreaker.
Hulk
Although Hulk seems to be just brute force, he has also managed to raise this weapon in Avengers Assemble # 4 of 2012. Here the Avengers face one of the most powerful villains in the universe, Thanos, who achieves control the Hulk with his powers To confront Thor, this enchantment of Thanos causes the Hulk to raise the hammer to strike the God of thunder to make him unconscious. This is the only way in which Hulk has managed to carry the Mjölnir.
Red hulk
Just as there are superheroes capable of obtaining Thor's powers, there are also villains who have unfortunately had the opportunity to use the weapon for evil. In this case, the villain of Hulk Vol. 2 # 5 of 2008 is Red Hulk, which triggers a battle against Thor in space, it takes advantage of the fact that there is no gravity to be able to use the Mjölnir against Thor.
Ragnarok
He is a villain who appears in Dark Avengers # 189 of 2013 forming part of the Dark Avengers team, who are in an alternate universe of the main plot. Here Ragnarok is considered as the Thor's cyber clone, which gives it the same characteristics as its predecessor, that is, it can lift Thor's hammer without any effort.
magnet
Yes, Magneto is the first mutant to have the ability to lift the Mjölnir in The Ultimates 3 # 5 of 2008. After the death of his sons Wanda and Pietro, Magneto is emotionally affected and decides to test his powers for a new challenge, which in this case, is to obtain Thor's hammer. The villain manages to steal the weapon from the God of thunder controlling the electromagnetic field of the hammer to be able to use it, although he does not receive Thor's powers because he is not worthy.
Wonder Woman
As strange as it sounds, DC superheroes have also had the opportunity to use Thor's weapon in collaboration with the companies of 1996 (Marvel vs. DC # 2). Here the characters of Marvel and DC faced an incredible fight, Storm and Wonder Woman carried out a fight, this is when Wonder Woman takes the hammer Thor to face the powers of the Storm invoking lightning, but still loses the battle because he thinks it would be unfair to use that power against the mutant. Thanks to her dignity, the princess of the Amazon had the opportunity to wear the Mjölnir.
Superman
Just as Wonder Woman could, Superman also did it in Avengers / JLA # 4 of 2004, where the characters of Marvel and DC, instead of fighting each other, come together to stop Krona, an omnipotent being who defeats the majority of the Avengers and Justice League team. Just when everything is seen in the worst conditions, Superman arrives with the shield of Captain America and the Mjölnir to be able to join forces and eliminate the enemy. At this time, the Kriptionian superhero uses Thor's powers, but it was not because he was worthy, because after the battle Thor confesses that he was able to raise the hammer because ** Odin took away the enchantment of dignity ** knowing that he was in good hands with Clark Kent.
