I'm interested in what those hammers can do. Do they get MJOLNIR's exotic powers, flight etc?
Because if they don't, and the "worthy" probably don't know how to use them, Superman can BFR a lot of them to make things easier for him. Not saying he cannot do it, but that is quite a big team and he will have his hands full stopping them.
I'll wait and see how Thor handles 2 of them before I decide.

I would seem as if each Hammer as it's own unique set of powers. For example, Juggernaut can incase his in an unstoppable forcefield.

Right "Unstoppable" forcefield. It's a Cyttorak enchantment that is based around absorbing kinetic energy or whatever. So anyone who can trump Cyttorak's enchantment.
In this case I'd say you'd have to override the Breaker of Stone dude.
Anyway apparently in the next issue Magneto can't control Juggernauts hammer because of the kinetic forcefield while Magneto has been shown to be able to control Thors hammer on 3 occasions IRRC. So their hammers are tailored to their previous powersets.
Magiks soulsword will save the day though. Mephisto was afraid of being cut by it.

When did this happen? I remeber him getting BFRed 2 times by backing up his momentum and 1 time running to SF and leaving these marks on the ground.
As for why he's not flying now, the thunderbolts made the comment it has to do with there still being a part of cain in control, and he's doing what he normally does.
Plus it may also have to do with the destruction's he's left by running there helping to spread fear.
This would be a very interesting situation for Superman to be in. We haven't seen the full power of these heralds just yet, and will have to see Thor go against Thing and Hulk in issue #5. But most of them 1 on 1 Kal El can handle. The real challenge is when Supes has to deal with more than two at a time.

worth juggs seems to be on par with classic juggs
I think Super can beat them back and throw them around if he was pissed. BUt I don't see any of the "worthy" being KOed through physical means. How Rulk was tooled by Thing (please consider their power gap before thing got an upgrade).
Also Thing showed the power to shoot shit out of his hammer and level parts of a city.
So I think Superman could handle any one of them (not sure about hulk). By handle I mean BFR or some how manage to contain. But by the time he tangos with one I think the others will notice the destruction and head to supes.
