    Um, "Thunder Frog IS Thor. He was altered due to a magical attack by Loki, but he is still Thor. That's would be like saying Thor is worthy to wield Mjolnir. It's his hammer.

    I've always thought Loki's head was drawn too small on that cover.

    Those Thor's are the only ones I recognize. I hate modern marvel

    Somehow managed to delete an anonymous comment:
    "I'm pretty sure WonderWoman held it in the Marvel Vs DC mini series."
    >> She did indeed, but that was 1996.

    Cool post, but I'm just wondering, didn't Storm wield a different hammer in that X-Men annual, forged by dwarves working for Enchantress or Loki or someone like that to simulate Mjolnir? (I don't think Thor even turned up in those stories).

    I remember thinking that Captain scene was very cool. But it also made me think, wouldn't Silver Surfer be a good candidate to wield it? Guy was pretty noble...
