Maybe. I mean he has similar traits to Thor but outside of justice league I read no aquaman stuff so I wonder is he always willing to put others before himself and his pride? He's a hero so I'm sure he is. He probably has all the right traits to be worthy but I think the person has to be worthy in Odin's mind as well. I don't like the idea of others lifting mjolnir because a bunch of heroes have those same traits. Not everyone with those traits should be able to lift it, otherwise dozens of people would and it wouldn't be special anymore.
@zhurong: beta ray bill is basically just another Thor, bor is Thor's grandfather so of course, juggernaut rode the hammer, he did not actually lift it. I know some people can lift it but it shouldn't be that many people. Also remember that some people have only lifted it to bring it back to Thor when he couldn't reach it, so those people don't count either
@jayc1324: Understandable but im sure some of the Asgardians can lift it as well. There are a handful of people that are worthy of lifting Mjolnir.
im actually pretty sure thor is the only asgardian to ever lift aside from maybe his father. Not many characters have truly wielded the hammer, they gotten around the rule like rulk in space and phoenix scott by grbbing his wrist, but usually it takes a pure heart, and you have to be true warrior, also being one thor's shield brothers, as odin likes to say, helps. and sometimes despite all that it can be really random, but not that many people have been deemed worthy

Bor and Captain America have lifted it
wasn't sure about bor but I knew about cap, (the whole boyscott/seasoned veteran of war I think more than qualifies him though)
@mrvalance: I see no reason for shouldn't be able to lift it, but I read cap only lifted it to return it to thor??
hmm....if supes couldn't do it aquaman cant ( supes is WWWAAAYYY more pure of heart, you have to do a lot of grey stuff as a king) cap actually fought sin with it, I forget exactly what happened after but I don't think he could lift it again after. now that I remember cap believes IT choose him and its implied in only went to him for when he needed it( so he wouldn't be beaten by sin like bucky)
kk people ijust had a eureka moment, IMO supes couldn't lift the hammer because he was lacking in the seasoned war veteran department(at least in the same context as people like thor,cap,bor, bill who have all spent years at war) and I believe aquaman wouldn't be able to lift it because he's lacking in the pure of heart department( at times I believe he's been unwilling to defend people who live on land, and the weilder of the hammer has to defend all of midgard) I feel like this is a solid explanation but as always just IMO

That isn't true at all. Aquaman just killed the Karaqan because it was attacking the people on shore, despite the fact that he knew it would enrage his own people because it was seen as an idol to them as it protected their ancient atlantean continent.
Geoff Johns even said at one point "Aquaman protects the sea from the land and the land from the sea"
Besides. I fail to see what pure heart has anything to do with it. Thor isn't a boyscout.
@jonny_anonymous: I agree that Billy isn't as he is a child, but Superman is certainly a warrior. It's just that he uses his fists and powers as weapons.
@darthmummy: Just fighting doesn't make you a warrior, especially someone who is slightly more pacifistic as Supes. Supes couldn't lift it in Marvel Vs DC and that's how I would see it playing out. It's the same reason why the Silver Surfer couldn't lift it when he tried.
i never meant to offend or imply all these heroes wernt noble and, well heroic. for supes this happened in a crossover, he couldn't liftit and while he is a hero and a fighter and has even fought armies, he's never tech been to war, as for aquaman if were talking new 52 then im not sure but im was under the impression in general as king he has had to favored land over sea. while i don't think boyscott is the right word for thor, the world is very black or white for him. its either good or bad and usually when he makes a choice he truly believes its the right, noble thing to do. can the same be said for Arthur?
@mrvalance: I see what happened in the crossover as what would actually happen. Superman isn't a warrior and he wouldn't be able to lift it for the same reason Silver Surfer can't. Aquaman doesn't favour the sea or the land and he's far more sure about himself than Superman.

....hmm.... i personally get the feeling Arthur has been forced to do things he doesn't see as right, but im not the dc expert

still not sure, i was just in an illumanti thread and the idea for a dc illmunanti came up, someone specificly said it wouldn't have batman cause of his morals, and that it would have the heroes wiling to kill and play dirty, among them were aquaman. i know its just 1 guys opinion but he seemed know dc way better than me at least......
sorry im not well versed on aquaman, but IF you would consider aquaman a candidate for a dc equivalent of the illumanti im pretty sure thats a no go on the hammer IMO

The only reason he would be considered for it is because 1. he would kill and 2. he's king of 80% of earth
She's from a warrior race and she is the finest of them in battle, she's even the god of war now. She's certainly noble enough to do the deed and kill when the need arises. Plus, she's a princess destined to be queen.

The only thing in that statement that doesn't apply to Arthur is him being the god of war.
I don't really have an answer to the question, since everyone has a different standard for what it takes to lift Mjolnir and I don't really care either way, but just saying. Atlanteans have a pretty war raged past, even had their own continent. Aquaman is the best of them, is of noble descent and IS the King.
