There's more to him looking cool holding it. If thor was in front of him, it would be psychologically damaging. He is literally showing him that his hammer is nothing to the one who controls its movement and the elements it is made out of.
Magneto: *Holds Mjolnir* Thor: "B-but how can someone like you..." Magneto: "The weight of holding an object made by the gods is insignificant compared to the one of carrying a childhood like mine..."
I'm sure in some comics magneto would definitely be worthy. Considering how the Asgardians act he wouldn't be far off. Protecting his people. Being a warrior. Being a leader. Compassion for his people. He's only a villain to humans who have made themselves the villains to mutant kind.
You're forgetting the times magneto tried to kill his own kind for not wanting to commit genocide. Or, you know, him wanting to commit genocide. That's kind of unworthy.
@@michaeld7945 well vikings kinda don’t care about killing people, like literally you have to die fighting in war to get pass to heaven, so I would say magneto is worthy
@@michaeld7945 like I said, I'm sure there's some versions. He lead the X-Men for a while. Obviously not all Magnetos are the same. So I'm saying if we want to see a Thor power infused magneto we could. Cuz the main staple that makes up magneto is his want for mutant kind to survive. So there could be an instance where he has a choice and making the right one makes him worthy. And with the power of mjolnir he leads his people to a new world where they could all live in peace.
In the ultimate comics thors hammers doesn't have the magic spell that makes it a requirement to be worthy to wield it. Its just really heavy in the Ultimate universe and has no magic spell bonded to it
@artemisolympian6318 yes that is the first hammer, which is revealed to have been made by scientists. The one Magneto holds is the real Mjolnir appearing later in Ultimates
If Captain America is only barely able to (in both the mcu and Comics) im damn sure Magneto wouldn’t be able to. He might be able to budge it like Cap could if he didn’t hate humanity but i think hes too far morally grey to ever wield Mjonir. I really want to see it happen tho
He could probably manipulate it, but he isnt technically wielding it, so its probably just a very very heavy hammer he can move around at will. Still useful i guess
@@user-lh8ej7oh5i magneto is omega. mjolnir is still made out of metal. i'm almost 100% sure magneto can use his powers to manipulate it. i'm almost 100% sure that storm, another omega, can manipulate the storm inside mjolnir, too.
He fought for civil rights and wanted mutants to stop being oppressed, sounds pretty worthy to me, a totally good dude. No need to go into any details on how he attempted to fight against oppression
He was kinda on the extremist side... picking the more difficult options in life makes you more worthy than those who did not. Basically, i would argue Xavier was, at one point, more worthy than Magneto because of the beliefs they had.
Honestly Magneto can move or lift Mjolnir using his powers but he can't really use Thor's powers. so basically it's just him lifting an extremely heavy chunk of metal and throw it at someone or just simply using it as a hand held weapon.
Respectfully, Magneto’s intentions are pure. Objectively he’s a bad guy. But in his mind i don’t think he considers himself a villain. He’s more of a freedom fighter in his mind. A philosopher warrior. Fighting for an ideal he believes will benefit his people. I think he should be able to wield it.
Magneto knows he’s the villian he has went to the extreme multiplle times for “equality” and we see most of the time when magneto wins he doesnt want equality for mutants, he want mutants to be above humans. He HAD good intentions, but have long lost them
And that's what pisses me off.....you know? They write something, years ago, and now they can just change everything....another reason I have a hard time with Marvel movies. I collected and read 1,000's of comics growing up and it a pain in the ass to watch a movie and have characters together, around each other, that shouldn't be in the same time line....just leave it alone.
I think it is worth pointing out that in that old 616 comic, Thor still walked through everything Magneto threw at him with physical strength and durability alone.
That's complete bullshit.....you can't be worthy of a "good weapon", a weapon that actually judges you upon contact. If you're evil, you ain't fking worthy. 😂
How can his actions be righteous, if he's killing people. "It's ok to kill people if your "made up" reason is good enough"...that's literally what you're saying...gah damn, video games and TV have fking annihilated human compassion for others....
Tony Stark and Captain America resolved this discussion in Age of Ultron - in the fact that an elevator can technically lift Thor's hammer and yet not be worthy. Magneto's powers can lift the hammer in the same way the elevator can.
I'm convinced Magneto is one of the only villians who WOULD be worthy to wield it, even as a villian. I'm not entirely sure if it's stated what the worthiness is supposed to look like, but Magneto has always been a "stand up for the little mutant" kinda guy.
But in canon of the 616 universe many others that had the same attributes have not been able to life Mjolnir. Spider-Man for example cannot. Superman can't and that was an actual canon comic. It was a crossover with the 616 Avengers and DC's Justice League canon universe of the time in the 1990s before New 52 and Rebirth. Superman was only able to pick up the hammer to save everyone once Odin took off the charm. After when Odin placed it back on Superman could no longer pick it up however Wonder Woman could lift it. They never defined who exactly is worthy but whatever it is worthiness is what Odin believes it to be.
It's almost like the same situation that he had with rogue in Age of Apocalypse. He's the only person that can touch her. But at the same time he's not REALLY touching her. His power grants him the ability to create a super thin layer of electromagnetism between him and her. In order for him to be able to hold her and eventually have a kid. I'm assuming it would be the same way for him and Thors hammer.
I'll always love in Fear Itself when Juggernaut got his own uru hammer and threw it at Magneto. Mags started gloating about how foolish it was to attack him with metal, then looked horrified when he realized his powers weren't working on it, only being saved at the last moment by Shadowcat phasing him so he wouldn't get hit. He realized that, just like Juggernaut, the hammer was Unstoppable
Magneto is worthy. He hasn’t done anything that anyone else wouldn’t have done to protect their own. That’s makes him extremely noble because he is willing to do what it takes to achieve that goal. It’s like when people say we shouldn’t have wars but we have wars to kill people so you have that right to say that. Worthiness is based on the culture that you are a part of. That’s why the enchantment of Thor’s hammer makes no sense whatsoever
Moving the hammer and wielding it aren't the same thing; there are plenty of ways to skirt around the enchantment: Odin can outright lift the worthiness spell from Mjolnir, Magneto uses magnetism to manipulate it, Red Hulk could hold it while in zero gravity, etc. Alternatively, Mjolnir itself has been known to lift its own worthiness restriction in dire circumstances: During the *JLA/Avengers* crossover, Superman was able to briefly hold the hammer to batter down an obstacle between the heroes and the villain, though was later unable to lift it. Thor explained that Mjolnir allowed Supes to do so as the entirety of the Marvel/DC multiverses were at stake. But at the end of the end of the day only those deemed worthy can lift the hammer AND harness its power.
This is one of the best comic book questions I've ever seen. Writing this before watching to build suspense. Powers aside, Erik seems worthy by Asguardian standards 🤞🙏
Honestly, Mags using Mjolnir is up there for scenarios I'd love to see, but likely won't happen. Up there with Carnage getting OG Juggernaut powers, including the speed/momentum stealing force field that also makes him immune to harm.
- Magneto (616 universe) could move Mjolnir with the aid of his powers - to lift 616 Mjolnir, one has to be worthy and strong enough - at least as strong as Captain America - certain situations will allow non-worthy people to lift it; Superman lifted it to fight Krona and other lesser villains (JLA/Avengers #4), but later in the same issue, he couldn't budge it
Could you imagine the look on thors face when sir Ian McKellen just snatches it from him with his old man strength and says I'll be having that dear boy😂
Being worthy is slightly different for everyone, they can be a bad guy trying to do a good thing or a hero trying to do a bad thing but justifiably so, for example Spidey is unworthy because of his no killing rule, Asgardians kill so he doesn't fit the criteria but he's worthy, cap's different because he will fuck you up 💀🤣
You also say, spidey is unworthy then proceed to say he’s worthy. Bro, you clearly don’t even know what you’re talking about yourself. You’re just saying things…
You obviously don’t understand how to r whole being worthy works. It’s complicated at times but what you said it’s just nonsense. Because cap would fuck up someone makes him worthy?…. What spidey just hugs villains does he?? Beating people up has nothing to do with it otherwise every damn character could lift it.
In the Ultimate universe Mjolnir amped Magneto's powers. This allowed Magneto to reverse the magnetic polarity of Earth. This event caused countless natural disasters that killed many people including heroes.
Just wait, they love giving jews access to their enemies powers, they gave natalie portman Germanic deity powers, and oscar issac Egyptian deity powers.
I always thought it was strange that magneto can manipulate all kinds of metal even ones that aren't magnetic. It's true that many metals have some magnetic properties. Like brass is slightly magnetic but very very weak but still if his power is magnetism and controlling things through magnetism then he should only be able to control ferrous metal.
I think magneto would be worthy because he truly believes in his cause and what hes doing is just. I mean after seeing the xmen movie and listening to comics explained and comicstorian how can anyone think hes not worthy?
I mean, Magneto is an elderly Holocaust survivor that's fighting to make sure people like him are never persecuted again. The natural mutants are treated as less than people in the comics. And he is fighting against that oppression. I'd say he's worthy. In fact he has the power to destroy life on the planet and doesn't.
I mean there are several characters that are unable to lift it, that'll also be strong enough to deflect it. The rules only state that to lift it, you have to be worthy.
On another note.. imagine Mags with the powers of Thor! Magnetism is already a certain form of energy like lightning.. I can only imagine combining the two just amplifies both at a universal threat level
People have got to stop with the misconception that morality makes up 100% of “worthiness”.. PLENTY of villains have carried the hammer and obtained the powers..
Im fully behins the idea that magneto didnt think he could lift it but he is actually worthy so he uses his powers instead of actually checking his worth
This leaves me with questions. Magneto can change the structure of metals. If Mags can control the hammer but not lift it, could he turn it into multiple smaller pieces? If so, would the pieces still remain enchanted? And would each piece be impossible to physically pick up?
An elevator is a nonsentient machine that has no morality or strength of character for the hammer to judge, tho by that logic what would stop a robot arm from lifting the hammer?
Magneto is worthy. He's purpose in life is justice for the mutants. The way he cares at it means nothing it's the drive. At least that's what I believe.
