Can Asgardian Hammers Be Wielded Only By Those With A Worthy ‘Heart’?

The enchantment of worthiness has long been a briery issue plaguing those who would wield Asgard ’s mighty artillery , with " worthiness " normally render as a state of mind rather than a State Department of body . For example , whenThor deems Toranos " worthy"in Al Ewing , Martín Cóccolo , and Matthew Wilson’sThe Immortal Thor ( 2023)#5 , the titan is immediately stricken by the compassion and humility that such worthiness bestows . By contrast , when undead Thor come along in theMarvel : Zombiesfranchise , his newfound monstrous nature leaves him undeserving of Mjolnir , and he must make do with a cinder cylinder block replacement .

Terror ’s use of Bill ’s heart to consult worthiness directly contradicts existing traditional knowledge . Rather than needing to become worthy to maintain the hammer , it seems that , by incorporating Bill ’s living essence into his organic structure , worthiness becomes transitive and Terror can wield Stormbreaker , with the hammer acknowledging the call of " Bill ’s " nub . If this holds , then it mean that Thor could theoretically be separated from Mjolnir should his heart ever be absent ; or instead , he could confabulate Mjolnir to another person , desirable or not , via centre transplant .

Mjolnir Has A Lethal New Loophole

Asgardian hammer are known to have minds of their own ; it ’s possible , then , that some quirk of Stormbreaker ’s own nature tolerate Terror to wield it againstSpider - Man . Alternatively , the artillery could parse the technicality of " worthiness " other than than Mjolnir has in the yesteryear . Either way , this is a disturbing loophole in every sensory faculty of the Word of God , open up up gruesome avenues for the worst ofThor’senemies to become worthy - if they only have the " heart " for it .

In the foreground, Terror (a green-skinned figure with spikes extending from his face, dressed in business trousers, shirt, tie, and a trenchcoat) raises an arm to catch the Stormbreaker hammer that flies through the wall with a thunderous impact.

Spider-Man 2099 (an imposing figure in a dark blue costume with a skeletal spider pattern emblazoned on his chest in red) presses up against debris that crushes down on him. Above him, a figure in a trench coat stomps down, trying to crush him. This figure (Terror) has green skin and spikes extending from his face. The scene is drenched in rain.
