It always annoyed me how anyone who's just barely "good" enough to put on a pair of tights somehow qualifies as worthy to lift Mjolnir. Thor should be depicted like he deserves, as the prince and champion of the greatest pantheon...dumbasses like Spider-Man, Beta Ray Bill, Red Norvell, etc should never, ever be able to do this. The only two men besides Thor who should be treated as worthy are Superman and Captain America. In fact, not even Superman, because IMO the hammer's worthiness law should be written in more Viking-ish terms, so only men with the fighter/warrior/combatant thing going on should be able to do it. Vikings wouldn't think Superman very heroic. I guess WW can also do it (pure enough, has the fighter thing).
I also do agree with the depiction where King Thor was unable to lift the hammer after he went nuts and killed Rogers. Only the worthiest man in Valhalla should be able to lift the hammer of the gods. It shouldn't matter that the hammer is powered by the Odinforce; Thor should only have been chosen as the wielder because he's good enough, and Viking enough, for it.

obviously thor and captain america. wonder woman too. superman? meh, i know its a sucky crossover but superman wasnt able to lift it again after the final battle. which probably means he's not really worthy to wield it.
I don't think neither Wonder Woman nor Supes are worthy of lifting it.
Maybe Barry Allen.
