Do you think Captain Marvel (Shazam) could lift Mjolnir?

@undefined: Why? Because he has control over magic? I can't think of another good reason that he could.

if he's worthy of the power of 6 gods then why not

Pre 52 - Yeah

New 52 - No/Maybe

Probably. The Wizard did say Billy has a perfect heart.

No. Superman couldn't lift it so it has some strange criteria for "worthy."

he should

mjolnir finds him worthy

Definitely worthy isn't that why the wizard picked up because he was pure at heart? Worthy in all ways in my book

Pre New 52- Yes.

Post Flashpoint- No. Billy is an unlikable prat

It's the mindset, not the power.

No I don't

In theory.

Bump

No.

Depends on the versions.

Pre-52: He was chosen to wield the power of the gods because he was worthy. This version could lift it.

New 52: He was chosen to wield the power because he has the potential to become worthy. This version cannot lift it, for now, but he does have potential to become worthy and do the said task.

Pre-52 Shazam is more than capable of lifting the Hammer. New 52 Shazam is not yet ready to wield Thor's Hammer. Maybe that could change in DC Rebirth.

I'd have a hard time necessarily assuming that the definition/understanding of the term "worthy" under one Pantheon/mythology/culture is going to be completely compatible with the same term used by a completely different Pantheon/mythology/culture.

It's possible Billy might be worthy, but I'd guess, if anything, he's too much of a good-hearted hero and not enough of a warrior to qualify (As compared to Cap, who we know is/was capable of lifting Mjolnir, who is not only a match for Billy's good-heartedness (not really a necessary feat, IMO, given Thor's generally a good person but no boy scout) but is and has been living a life of near-constant warfare, almost always in a position of responsibility that seems more likely to attract Mjolnir's attention)/

Finally, Billy has always struck me (Solomon's Wisdom or no) as somewhat... childlike in heart, mind, and conviction. I'm not sure that the sort of enchantment Odin placed on Mjolnir (to bring to heel his wayward, immature child) would find the sort of worthiness it seemingly seeks.

@undefined:

No. I don't see him being able to kill like Wonder Woman. Plus even with Solomon's wisdom, he's still a child.

The true Billy, yes

Curse of Shazam Billy, no

Nope, the reason is simple that he has done things which does not follow its criteria

If anyone's worthy, it's him.

Earth S can, Pre-52 probably can (Kingdom Come as well), New 52 no but he could be getting there.

Pre-52 possibility cause he is pure of heart. Yet given today's femisim only a woman can lol

Pre/Post Crisis possibly.

Post-Flashpoint Hell nah

I'm pretty sure you have a typo in that word but not sure if it was with the h or the n. I'm hoping it was the n. The feminism part may make sense either way though.

Pre-52 Billy, definitely.

He was chosen to wield the power of 6 gods because he was deemed worthy. He was so pure of heart that Neron(sort of Mephisto of DC) wanted his soul, and according to Neron himself Billy has the purest soul on the entire planet Earth.

New-52 Billy, nope.

He was chosen because of certain circumctances and not because he was worthy, and though he has shown that he is turning into good guy slowly, most of the time he is just arrogant brat.

@spambot: lol that's What happens when you walk and type on a phone while rushing inside. Yeah makes sense

No, duh.

Pre 52 could.

N52 probably can't.

Billy is probably one of the few from DC who could... hes pure of heart and he should be worthy.

god i love his character so much... a 16 year old (i think thats how old he is) with the power to rival Superman. they really gave him the shaft Post Flashpoint (and im pissed)

Yes

@warlockmage: He is 15, younger in some versions.

i remember he was dating Stargirl at one point and shes only like 16 also, so i remember him being in that age area

it sucks that everyone ragged on him (cuz they thought he was 23 so it did seem wrong, but they had no idea he was a kid) so he broke up with her. They were actually a really cute couple

@warlockmage: Fun fact, Mary Marvel is 16 as well (and she is Billy's twin, how he is 15 is beyond me, maybe pre-Flashpoint he was 16 or turned).

Well, it is weird for Marvel to be dating her, maybe should have kept it to their alter egos.

Superman isn't/wasn't willing to kill.

@citizensentry: He was against Zod and Doomsday.

@tifalockhart: scans?

All of Hunter Prey

Also Death of Superman

So against only 1 opponent has Superman ever been willing to kill? seems consistent.

@citizensentry: He's also been willing to kill Darkseid and IIRC Zod (like Tifa said).

and like i asked him/her, "Scans".

That's absolutely insufferable you know

Not really, just show me a scan of Superman saying or at least in a thought bubble something along the lines of "I'm going to have to kill them".

Here's one explanation as to the requirements to being "worthy".

To my mind, it's that Thor is a warrior, while Captain America is a soldier. What I mean by that is that while both men are heroes, Thor enjoys fighting and relishes the glory of battle. That's not to say he wants to start fights just to get some action, so to speak, but he takes pride in his work, and his work is smacking bad guys with a big-ass hammer.

@citizensentry: He killed Darkseid too

Willingly?

Completely under his own accord.

Although I'll give you this, Superman is very (very) reluctant to kill

I think you misunderstood me when i used the word willingly (though granted i coul have used a better word).

Basically, did Superman willingly go into that fight to kill Darkseid or just to beat him?

@citizensentry: It wasn't a fight - he destroyed Darkseid's formless consciousness

Scans?
