@jloneblackheart: Goku usually tries to let people live, and according to the "who in DC...." thread of the same vein, you have to be willing to kill (like "a true warrior". Meaning Superman and Batman couldn't.....which is BS imo..it should be about being a true hero in spirit (selfless, etc)). I think this might hinder Goku some (and Gohan too).
Whenever I think of a character worthy of lifting Thor's hammer I always use Walt Simonson's statement on the creation of Beta Ray Bill:
One of the cool things about Thor was the enchantment around Mjolnir and the original inscription on it. So I thought, well that means someone else can pick up this hammer and get this power, if they're worthy! So since then, some other big characters, people's favorites, have picked up the hammer, Captain America, Superman, whoever. But at this point, no one had ever picked up the hammer. I liked the idea of Cap walking to the bathroom and seeing it, and grabbing and just tugging, not being able to. So this had to be someone new. This is the most powerful weapon of the Norse gods. This hammer is a killing weapon. It's used to kill Frost Giants and others. So, Superman couldn't pick it up, cause he's never going to kill anyone, and the hammer knows that. Captain America, he's too patriotic. He's too much a symbol of America to be chosen by this Norse artifact. So he couldn't get it. So I created Bill because he's noble, and he's designed to kill. He's got a great purpose as a warrior, and also the noble ability. That makes him "worthy" whatever that may be.As far as appearance, back then, comics were these self-contained stories. So for Bill, I had to do this in short form. This was a four-issue story, and that was my longest on my entire run on Thor. We had to take him, make him into a character that the Hammer would recognize. So I wanted for Bill, I wanted him to have a "monstrous" look as a visual, so that everyone would think he's a bad guy, and I got letters after the first issue that said "What on earth? Why is this monster picking up the hammer, what's wrong with you?" and I said "I got it!" So I basically started with a skull, and then I made him a bit like a horse, with the gap behind the teeth. But horses are beautiful creatures. So what I was aiming for is a sense of death, a sense of monster, underlined by beauty. His costume was the same so that the minute you see that image, when he strikes the stick and becomes "Beta Ray Thor" or whatever, you know: OK, that guy has the powers of Thor. So that's why Bill had the monstrous face, that's why that stuff was done the way it was done.
I'm very aware of that.@The Stegman said:

Actually Goku later in the series understands that beings such as Cell and Buu need to be destroyed due to their inherent evil. In fact, when he was younger he would kill all the time.

He was also willing to let Kaiba die when he threatened to jump off of that tower in Duelist Kingdom, Yami wasn't playing games...except for the card game.@BlackWindsaid:
