Hmm...Kinda looks like in that first panel that Thor sticks Mjolnir out into the path of the incoming eye blast of hellfire, but this isn't really a point (or topic) I want to nitpick, so meh.
And in the other scene Thor catches Mjolnir in his hand, Ghost Rider and his bike slammed into Thor using Mjolnir's inertia.
Still taking Ghost Rider with a Mjolnir-less Thor.
I can see what you mean but the Hell-Fire engulfed his entire body and he ended up walking through it....
I mean, it's outright said by Thor that the Hell-Fire is so useless so the intent of the scene should be clear.
Why? Ghost Rider would often lose if not outright get crushed. If you take him at his best, sure he probably wins, but then you have to take Thor at his best.....

Bill became a lot more powerful with Stormbreaker/Mjolnir but Thor is not Bill.
Yeah, but just saying if Mjolnir was only good as a focus medium, it never would have powered up Bill.
We've seen it power up others, too.
Simonson did mention that the powering up effect doesn't stack, though. Like, if Bill was 90% of Thor without the hammer, he'd be 100% with it, and no more then that.

What is Thor's best showing without Mjolnir in his possession?
But in character/canon we know Thor has doubts and guilt about many of his past actions. As a matter of fact, he was such a dick at one point that Odin banished him from Asgard and turned him into Donald Blake to teach him humility in order for Thor to redeem himself. When Thor reaches his Avengers Era age I think the Penance Stare would work on him because he himself feels remorse for the actions of his past. When he was Prince Thor (Pre-Mjolnir Early 20s Thor) I think he probably was in the mindset that all his actions were justified by virtue of him being a God and a Warrior, so anything would go.
Anyway, Current Thor certainly thinks he's had wrongdoing in his past.

agreed as many wars as he has waged there has to be some of that in there some where it would certainly work.
