10 Characters Who Have Lifted Thor's Hammer
Earth's Worthiest Heroes.
The Odinson might be the God of Thunder, but he's not the only one who's wielded the hammer Mjolnir in Marvel's history.
Yes, while Thor's hammer might be just that - Thor's hammer - more characters than he'd care to admit have taken control of the object and the power it possesses. It's a trope comic book writers have utilised repeatedly over the years, and while some characters are infinitely more worthy than others, one can't help but feel that maybe - just maybe - some of them shouldn't have been up to the task.
Still, there's no denying the value of seeing someone other than the Odinson wielding his weapon. It's a massive feat to accomplish, and there's a reason why writers keep returning to that concept. People look great swinging around an ancient nordic weapon, and when it's a hero - or villain - you don't expect, you begin to understand the gravity of their accomplishment.
It might get a little less impressive each time it happens, but when the hammer looks as good as it does, can you really blame writers for swinging it around so often?
