I'm curious. The two have fought several times that I would like to know if during any of these battles or any other time if Hercules has ever tried to lift Mjolnir. Has it ever been stated if anyone thinks he can? Do you think he can?
Hercules
Character » Hercules appears in 1962 issues.
One of six Olympian sons of Zeus, Hercules was born the savior of the Gods and mankind. Known as the Prince of Power, Hercules is one of the strongest beings in existence, an Olympian God and a modern superhero recognized throughout the world for his might. He has been a champion of mankind since ancient times and continues to defend the world in the modern age - most frequently as a member of the Avengers.
Has Hercules ever tried to lift Thor's hammer?
I've seen, read and/or own almost every appearance of Marvel's Hercules and quite a lot of Thor comics and related comics, too, but I've never, ever seen Hercules lift (or even try to lift) Thor's hammer (Mjolnir). I don't believe Hercules has lifted or even tried to lift Thor's hammer.
If Hercules truly has lifted of tried to lift Thor's hammer, I would like to know when it happened/in which comic can this be seen. I'd love to see it.
He's held it several times, hell once Herc and Thor traded places.
When Hercules and Thor traded places, Hercules didn't actually have the real Mjolnir. The hammer he wielded was actually his own mace magically disguised as Mjolnir.
@powerherc: I know I've seen him wield the actual hammer at least twice

Could you let me know where? I'd like to pick up those comics. :)
@powerherc: They may have both been in Avengers, can't remember the exact issues but I'll look it up

Cool.
Please let me know when you find out. Thanks.
Hmmm... If he's never shown interest in seeing if he could lift Mjolnir, I'll take that as a sign he is.
Forgive me, are you saying you think Hercules is worthy because he has shown no interest in lifting Mjolnir or are you saying that because he has never shown interest he is actually interested in trying to lift the hammer?
More along the lines of the former. I should have been much more clear, that sentence doesn't say what I meant. I think that if he doesn't fret about whether he's "worthy," that's a sign of confidence in his own abilities and that's something I think Odin would approve of. Lots of characters have tried to lift Mjolnir and failed, and most of them worried about whether they were worthy or not. The ones that have lifted Mjolnir (to my knowledge) never had that same fear.
Good point; people who have lifted Mjolnir weren't concerned about their worthiness to do so. It's prpbable this is a coincidence and not really a factor of worthiness, imo.
@powerherc: Did you or @joshmightbe: found out if Hercules has ever lifted Mjolnir.
@tupiaz: We know he did
@tupiaz: We know he did
What issue(s)? Any pics?
We know he did
Would you please cite a story, issue, run, or something because everyone I have asked this has either said Hercules has never lifted it or failed to cite even a story.
