Well the whole "hell lord is supreme in their realm" thing is relatively recent no?Even discounting that, there was the whole Galactus/Mephisto throwdown that was truly epic. Galactus needed to resort to eating Mephisto's realm for Mephisto to capitulate. Before that they were going toe to toe with neither side gaining the upper hand. I guess if we use that fight as a metric, then yes, Mephisto is more than capable of breaking Odin's enchantment (in his realm) and slagging and then recreating the hammer.

I said WW only if crossovers count. If they don't then WW can lift it per OP stips.CM is more worthy than Thor IMO
Batman is iffy and I don't see Cap being more worthy than him.
When did Hercules lift it on panel?
Billy is more "pure hearted" and innocent than Thor is, but being a nice guy isn't all that's required to lift the hammer. If that's the case, Balder would be worthy as would Peter Parker. You still need to have a sort of warrior's mentality such as being willing to take a life for the greater good. To that end, someone like Diana - not counting the crossover - would be more likely to lift it than Billy.
Batman's way too, well, Batman, to be able to lift the thing.

Clarify please.
Are you saying:
a) Nul is not Hulk. He broke the Serpent Hammer through magic?
b) Hulk under ordinary conditions breaks the Serpent Hammer, but Odin magic is more powerful than Serpent Magic and can't be overcome through physical strength no matter how great?
or
c) even Nul Hulk WITH whatever magic Nul may have had could not break Thor's hammer or lift it. Odin enchantment is stronger than even Nul Hulk under almost any given set of conditions. Odin's enchantments beat even strength PLUS magic.

He lifted it when both Thor and Herc fought switching roles. Or was that a fake Mjolnir?
Billy is brave, noble, etc. What characteristic that Thor and Cap have that Billy or Freddie don't have?
Parker is selfish and arrogant. I don't know much about Balder (did he try to lift Mjolnir before?)

Again, Hercules has never lifted Mjolnir.

I say it does mean he can break Mjolnir though.
Prove it.

When has Mjolnir been broken by "less force"?
BTW, can you prove that the forging process was the same, that they had the exact same enchantments on them and that the skyfather's used the same amount of power?
I'm a little confused.
If Thor and Hercules are both of equal strength,
and Thor and Hercules are both sons of Skyfathers with equal godly rank --
why shouldn't Hercules be able to lift Mjolnir?
He's effectively the Greek equal and counterpart of Thor, right?
Or are the "worthiness" enchantments by Odin still harder to get past than that?
And if even Hercules is unworthy, what happened in the case of Storm and Beta Ray Bill?

Strength and who your parents are have never been shown to matter in regards to being worthy.
