I never said Cap punched him, did I? I meant he beat him.

Not sure if this has been asked before or even the right thread but here it is.

On another forum I go to they are doing their version of "The Best of the Best" that turned up in the community a while ago.

One of the match up was Spider-Man Vs Thor. Someone said pidey is one of the few worthy enough to pick up Mjolnir. And could probably use it against Thor.

So the question is, what is it that makes a person worthy enough to pick up Mjolnir?

 

[Dark Carnage]

Hey! I'm the one asking the questions here!

I mean... how the hell would I know?

That's wrong. Captain America and Beta Ray Bill have picked up the hammer before and so has Wonder Woman (though that was out of continuity).

The worthiness factor comes down to pretty much whoever is writing the comic. Based on the people who've picked it up before, though, I'd say it goes by the definition of worthiness from the war-filled days of yore. Heroic warriors who've proven their valor in combat. Cap braved open warfare often enough during World War II and Bill was elected the guardian of his people because he was the worthiest of their warriors. So both of them meet the requirements rather nicely.

Spider-Man, however, is a man of science. Basically, a coward by the old standards.

Has Spiderman and Captain America ever fought? I know Spiderman has went up against everyone in the Marvel universe but I can't recall if he went up against him or not.

Cap once decked him and put him on his ass. Spidey commented his punches felt like "mini a-bombs". Something along those lines. And Spider-Man could definitely pick up Mjolnir, She-Hulk picked it up. Then again, she's just as gutsy and worthy as anyone, look what she did during Secret Wars. She defends the innocent, she's a good person and goes out of her way for people. I think you just need to be quite noble and pure.

"Oboy, that should teach me to keep my guard up! What do you keep in those gloves?"

"pint sized a-bombs?"


Its quite funny because cap was beaten by electro a few pages after

 

[X]

Meh, Electro's handed Spidey his ass before as well. Falcon's beaten Electro too.

When did She-Hulk pick up Mjolnir?

Not exactly sure, pretty sure she did it though...

Spidey beaten the crap out of both falcon and electro

 

[X]

And Electro has also beaten Spidey. I didn't say Spider-Man never beat him, so don't get so offensive.

That was it? they only fought once in all of Spidey's........................44 years?!?!! And the way it sounds, Spidey didn't even fight back.

 

[Guyverjay]

Offensive? Moi?

How do you figure?

Pointing out a fact is all and of course he has beaten spidey (he's one his villains after all) but ol electro (before his power up anyway ) was a runnng joke to the experienced spider-man. He kicked his ass more times that not

A Spider-Man robot once kicked Captain Americas ass, bad.

Just the way you said it Guyver.

Sucks sometimes.

 

[TheCorpulent1]

Dude, I can't find anything about She-Hulk lifting Mjolnir. I can think of only Captain America, Beta Ray Bill, Odin, Dargo, and Magni as people who've lifted the hammer by meeting the enchantment's requirements and Red Norvell, Eitri the Dwarf (its creator), and Ulik who've found some way to get around the enchantment. Eric Masterson's a tricky one who you could look at either way and Wonder Woman's out of continuity. That's it.

Well, The Destroyer and robots can pick it up. I've seen some people back in the JIM days pick it up and use it moving mini cranes and what not. And I'm almost positive Jennifer did it.

 

[TheCorpulent1]

Yeah, the Destroyer picks it up all the time. I'm not saying Jen didn't do it, I'm just saying I can't find anything about it. It seems like a pretty noteworthy thing to go unnoticed by like every bio page and whatnot. I'll keep looking, though.

Well, make sure you don't enhance anything too much, or well. Hmmm. I just had the worst sense of deja vu. Anyhow, he'd be considered uber, Human Bomb that is. Who's The Leader on your team anyhow? I really woulden't be suprised if everyone was picking on/bullying the MM, ala Secret Wars. Need someone to keep everyone in line.

Well I don't have a set leader in my team but I'd say Flash would lead us. My team has alot of holes that can easily tear us up but hey whatever. I am going to test a nwew strategy out this week anyway.

How is it that Cyclops eye lids can keep his optic blasts at bay but it takes rubies to hold the back when his eyes are open? Isnt it said hes not affected by his own blasts?

 

[Tropico]

He's body is immune to it the same way his brother (Havok) is immune to them and vice-versa.

Here ya go

Originally found in Marvel Directory Cyclops Bio
Cyclops's mind has a particular psionic field that is attuned to the forces that maintain the apertures that have taken the place of his eyes. Because his mind's psionic field envelops his body, it automatically shunts the other-dimensional particles back into their point of origin when they collide with his body. Thus, his body is protected from the effects of the particles, and even the thin membrane of his eyelids is sufficient to block the emission of energy. The synthetic ruby quartz crystal used to fashion the lenses of Cyclops's eyeglasses and visor is resonant to his minds' psionic field and is similarly protected.
