Jane Foster picked up Thor’s hammer in the comics and in “Thor: Love and Thunder,” which leaves a question as to how this weapon knows when a person is worthy of its powers or not.
Practically from the beginning of the MCU, it was made clear that Mjölnir was one of the most powerful artifacts in the universe, as it had Odin’s blessing and helped Thor channel his incredible abilities.
At first he was a loyal companion of the Avenger, since no one but him was supposed to have the ability to lift him, due to a powerful charm placed on him as a measure of protection by the “father of all”.
But as the MCU plot progressed, other characters were able to pick up the hammer, including Vision, Captain America, and most recently Jane Foster.
Mjölnir: How does Thor’s hammer know what a person is worth?
In “Thor,” Odin wanted to humiliate his son, so he put a spell on his hammer that continues even after the god’s death.
Dignity is a concept that can be confusing, but thanks to what has been seen in the MCU, it can be concluded that there are two ways a person can use the hammer: to be worthy in Odin’s eyes, or to she considered herself a “good” person.
Odin is one of the most powerful gods in the MCU and among his many abilities he has the ability of omniscience, meaning he is capable of knowing everything that happens anywhere in the universe.
Thanks to this he can see when a person is trying to use the powerful hammer for evil or selfish reasons and if this is the case, he will not be able to lift it from the ground.
An example of this is Thor himself, who was blinded by his arrogance and it was only when he fought to protect someone else, rather than just seeking glory, that he was able to use it again.
Even the Hulk himself, with all his physical strength, could not move it an inch, as to do so would have caused unprecedented destruction.
The second way one can use Mjölnir is perhaps more complicated: the would-be user must believe it is worth it. In the comics of “Thor: God of Thunder” (2013) “the son of Odin” faced and defeated Gor, a being who held a great grudge against the deities.
Despite being the victor, Thor couldn’t help but wonder about the cause of the gods and whether he was right or just fighting for his own pride and vanity.
The idea that the gods could bring about the destruction of mankind so invaded Thor’s mind that he deemed himself unworthy of the worship of men and wielded Mjölnir once more.
In the MCU, despite his ultimate sacrifice, Tony Stark was never worthy of wielding Thor’s hammer, due to the fact that he still harbored doubts about his past responsibility in building weapons, as well as regrets over the death of his parents their. .
The opposite happened with Steve Rogers, who always fought for a noble cause, such as defending the world from Hydra, protecting his best friend, or fending off Thanos’ invasion, so when the decisive moment came, Captain America was able to use Mjölnir in his confrontation with the “Mad Titan”.
