Which is stronger,
the durability of Mjolnir (when possessed by normal Thor) or Odin's worthy lifting enchantment?
For example, assume that both Hulk had enough strength to break Mjolnir and that the ground was indestructible. What will happen first if Hulk attempts to lift Mjolnir, Hulk lifts Mjolnir or Mjolnir breaks?
This thread is only for knowledgeable posters with good critical thinking skills. Please back up your claim with good sound reasoning.
Personally, I do not know which is stronger. My gut says the enchantment is.
Could anybody really know this for sure?
Has the hammer actually ever been broken/destroyed.
But we know the enchantment has been broken in the past.
Im sayinf the durability of it is stronger
In Thor 600 Bor caught Mjolnir like it was a nerf softball, it seems that you need to have some connection to the OF, or just be overwhelmingly more powerful than Odin to break the enchantment. And to my knowledge the latter has never happened, not that it couldn't, but as far as I know someone like Galactus has never bothered to try and lift Mjolnir.
On the other hand Mjolnir it self has been broken a couple times. Once physically on Bor's face, and another time when Thor channeled too much god force through it, and it couldn't handle that much energy output and it just exploded.
Just based on the fact that Mjolnir has been physically broken would lead me to believe the hammer would give well before the enchantment.

Molecule Man has disintegrated it too. And then there's the questionable time with Mephisto when he caught the hammer, slagged it, recreated it, then hurled it back at Thor.

Perrikus slashed it in half. Destroyer cut it in half. It broke killing Bor to death. It broke on the Exitar Godblast. Molecule Can disintegrated it. Mephisto destroyed and recreated it. He broke it smashing it against three other "Mjolnirs"
Zeus possibly overpowered the enchantment. Bor possibly overpowered it. Mephisto overpowered it. Thanos made it drop stone cold in the air if that counts. Odin can pretty much do whatever he wants with the hammer.
Though the first two might have actually been worthy since you know. Mephisto is really the only one who's actually overpowered it besides Odin, and whatever the Thanos one means.
On the other hand Future King Thor with the Odin Force couldn't overpower it, so there's that.
So you see the Mephisto incident as real and not an illusion? Not arguing the point with you, just wanted to get your opinion on it.
Also regarding the Mjolnir and Thanos incident, I just saw it as Thanos' shields blocking Mjolnir., like what happened with Juggernaut in that Thor issue guest staring the New Warriors.

Zeus caught it in midair and was holding it for a couple seconds before it went back to Thor
I don't remember any special context in the Perrikus fight
There wasn't even an allusion to it being an illusion.
Yeah but the hammer kept going in the Juggernaut fight. It flopped to the ground in the Thanos one. I just don't recall it ever doing that against anything.
Somewhat weird but I think it's the same kind of logic where Hulk was holding up Mjolnir and was getting dragged along as it returned to Thor. Mjolnir hitting it's target and then returning while someone tries to hold it back.

I think he failed to hold onto it or something? Though I guess that wouldn't be him being unworthy/failing to overpower the worthiness enchantment.
No, but one of the enchanters lived inside Mjolnir and kept messing with it. It was revealed a few issues later, but I don't remember for how long it had been going on.
Yup, and I think once he caught it, Mjolnir immediately tried to return but Zeus was powerful enough to prevent that momentarily. By that I mean, once the slingshot effect of Mjolnir is in play, you're not actually lifting it. I'm at work so this is the best example I could come up with via google: (please log in to view the image)
Just so you have an idea of what I mean.
Thor was stumped. But it was specifically because Zeus was able to delay Mjolnir returning to his hand even for an instant, something that no one had ever done before.
