Stop! Hammer Time! (or, Leggo Mjolnir 2: Electric Boogaloo)

Jeepers, Mister Thor! Looks like everybody wants to get their hands on your hammer. You're kinda grabby with that thing. Maybe someone needs to learn a lesson or two about sharing, hmm?

Thor #296

Thor #276

Thor #15

MTU #148

Thor #455

Thor #397

Thor #36

Thor #305

About that last cover: in an earlier post, Bombastic Bully Brigade member Chuck T. wrote:
I've been trying to figure this out for years: can robots lift Thor's hammer? What about sentient ones like Ultron or the Vision?
If I 'member my early eighties Thor mythology correctly, Gabriel the Air-Walker (the "Death Angel" of this cover and former herald of Galactus) was a robot. I don't 'member the exact circumstances, but yeah, assuming that it isn't a case of "this scene does not occur in this comic!," it looks like robots can lift Mjolnir. Unless, of course, they can't in other stories written by other writers.

Sooooo...Mister Thor...can little stuffed bulls lift your mighty hammer? If so, may I jus' hold it while you play Frisbee with Iron Man in the park, 'kay? I will take very good care of it.

(More Ten of a Kind here.)

If a little stuffed bull is deemed worthy...why not?

You've at elast got a better shot than Dr. Friggin Doom!

Wait a minute -- Marvel has a bad guy named "Grog"?! So if he got in a fight with Iron Man, and Iron Man barely escaped with his life and high-tailed it to Avenger's Mansion, we'd see the following conversation:

Wasp: Tony, you look awful! What happened to you?
Iron Man: It was Grog!
Wasp: Oh, for--! Just go sleep it off, ya rummy!
