Yes, and IIRC he's done it. But he has to use his powers to do it; he can't just lift it with his hands.

Does that mean he is unworthy or just physically weak? ๐Ÿค”

Physically weak people are unworthy.

Unless they're battling something that makes them physically weak, like cancer.

could not be me in the second frame

Yes, but it would be an effort that does not come down to any strength, machinery, physics or logic, because in his universe the Narrative Force is infintitely stronger than any natural laws.

And the hammer is ruled by a strong narrative: Thor's storyline.

So he would have to create a compellig narrative where he moves the hammer in a way that makes an interesting Thor story.

He can't just move it with a planet-size magnet powered by the sun itself, but he could move it with a planet-size magnet powered by the sun itself if it could be explained in a cool way and gives Thor a great struggle to overcome, causes tension to test his relationship to Odin, or moves his character arc.

Magneto controls the hammer in Super-Villain Team up issue #14.

Now go to bed.

That kind of seems lame... I thought the hammer was protected by some magical power that required to user to be worthy.

But this would indicate it just takes strength.

Which makes it kind of silly that Hulk couldn't move it an inch ๐Ÿค”

Call it a gray area, since he can't pick it up with his body. Guess Odin didn't factor that one in.

[โ€“] [email protected] 7 points 2 months ago

It is, but the patch that prevents you picking it up only applies to physically lifting it. The devs forgot about other methods of moving objects.

Maybe Magneto is worthy. He is trying to save his people from discrimination after all.

[โ€“] [email protected] 6 points 2 months ago

Didn't the MCU movies make a point to say it only matters if the person is worthy by Odin's standards? I guess it just means Magneto meets Odin's standards, whatever they are.

Magneto hates Beast?

Thank you for this!

Wife: "I bet he's thinking about other women."

Husband: "Marvel 'nerds' are now just normies."

Magneto would be able to lift the hammer, not because his powers give him control over magnetism, but because he is worthy to!
