Odin himself can also alter the enchantment, allowing somebody the hammer wouldn't naturally deem worthy to use it, or preventing somebody, even Thor, from lifting it.
Odin also exhibited the ability to command Mjolnir and he basically ordered it to deem Thor unworthy when he stripped his son of his power and exiled them both to Midgard.
Why couldn t Odin pick up Mjolnir? Odin attributes his inability to lift the hammer to the Storm Mother he had implanted in it as he seeks to wield it to defend Asgard from an apparent attack, revealed just to be the fiery Phoenix.
As this question has been answered more than once, we will say again: Brute strength has never moved Mjolnir. Any being more powerful than the All-Father of the Norse Gods of Earth, Odin Borson, will have no use for Mjolnir.
Marvel's Odin was always a terrible father - and even his hammer Mjolnir stopped working when it realized he was neglecting Thor. Even Thor's enchanted hammer Mjolnir knows Odin was a terrible father, for the Allfather of Asgard no longer commanded the weapon after his son was born.
Odin would win in a fight against Thor because he is simply a lot more powerful and more intelligent than his son. Thor, of course, is the superior physical specimen between the two but is still light years away from his father in terms of his power, intelligence, wisdom, and experience.
1) Odin Murders the World Into Existence
Eventually Odin succeeded, and Ymir's blood became the oceans, drowning all but two of the giants; his corpse became the land; his bones the mountains and rocks; his hair the trees; and his skull the sky.
Other Marvel characters have lifted Mjolnir not through worthiness but through technicalities such as absorbing Thor's powers, including the Air-Walker, Awesome Android, Magneto, Rogue, Wonder Man, and Doctor Doom.
Hence, Mjolnir determines worthiness based on Odin's definition of worthiness. However, since Mjolnir also has a conscious being within it, in the form of God Tempest, another likely explanation is that it is God Tempest that determines the worthiness.
Unlike the others, Zeus is not worthy to lift Mjolnir, but through a loophole, he can anyway. If Mjolnir is to enter his domain, Zeus's MCU powers should override Odin's enchantment, meaning he can hold Mjolnir. He may not be worthy, but technically Zeus is the fifth character who can lift Mjolnir in the MCU's Phase 4.
The user suggests that the enchantments Odin placed on Mjolnir went away when he died, which is why it wasn't protected from Hela's strength. That would also explain why Hela, an unworthy individual if we've ever seen one, was able to hold it aloft in the air and stop Thor from calling it back to him.
Odin is furious that Thor has dragged Asgard back into war, and tells Thor he is not fit to be king. He strips him of his power, banishes him to Earth and sends his hammer, Mjolnir, after him a few seconds later, saying that whosoever wields the hammer, and is worthy of it, shall have the power of Thor.
As such, God of War: Ragnarök emphasizes the personal rivalry between Kratos and Thor, between the Leviathan Axe and Mjölnir, in other words: between good and evil. Allowing Kratos to pick up and use Thor's Hammer would mean that the Spartan would fall back into his old ways, thus tarnishing the character's new arc.
If you are talking about movies, Old Odin can be defeated by Surtur, Dormammu, Hela, Strange, Ancient One and IW Thanos. But Odin in his prime was undefeated, unchallenged throughout the nine realms and beyond. This is been confirmed by Hela, Loki, Frigga, Laufey and Thor.
Like Stormbreaker, Mjolnir also allows Thor to wield thunder and lightning; however, it's not capable of summoning the Bifrost. The magic hammer did develop a power Stormbreaker couldn't, though, and it's able to detach its broken pieces to attack multiple enemies at once, before coming together again.
Yes. To have the hammer in his hand wouldn't and shouldn't ever happen. He's just not worthy of it under the magical conditions set on the hammer as per Odin The Asgardian All-Father. However, his genetic power and ability to control metal and magnetic fields would give him a leg up in countering its power.
But what about someone who was mostly out for themselves? Yes, even Spider-Man has been worthy of holding the hammer of Thor.
For all his faults, Cap is undeniably a noble, selfless, and pure-of-heart hero who's perhaps more worthy of Mjolnir than anybody else in Marvel (or DC, for that matter).
And Mathaudhu can cite documentary sources to back him up. For example, Marvel – which publishes the Thor comics – issued a “Thor's Hammer” trading card in 1991 that states Mjolnir is made of Uru and weighs precisely 42.3 pounds. That's lighter than a herd of 300 billion mice, much less a herd of 300 billion elephants.
He was rendered unworthy, because in his heart he believed what Fury said was true. In effect, Thor knew “how it feels to be mortal” and in his mind mortals are unworthy of Mjolnir and the powers of Thor. It's important to note here that Thor's unworthiness was of his own design.
Following the line of one's self-concept and limiting beliefs being what keeps people from being worthy of Mjolnir, then Tony would have never been worthy, as he never fully overcame his deepest fears and most of all his sense of unworthiness.
Captain Marvel is one of the strongest Avengers; so much that she is one of the few characters who can lift Thor's hammer Mjolnir without being worthy.
They're both really bad but Zeus had the excuse of being corrupted and was under the influence of Pandora's box which made him act the way he did while Odin was always selfish and manipulative on his own naturally.
Raven - Wikipedia
In the poem Grímnismál, it is said that Odin is afraid the two ravens would not come back.
Odin tied the Odin-Force to Asgard to allow the Asgard's natural cosmic energy to slowly recharge the Odin-Force, whenever Odin is not using the force in Asgard. This does create a weakness to Odin in that the Odin-Force would completely vanish if Asgard is destroyed.
