* [[Captain Obvious|It appears]] [[Marvel Comics]]' [[The Mighty Thor]]. This version can only be used by "one who is worthy" though exactly ''what'' makes the user worthy is never explained. [[Captain America (comics)]] could lift it, but not [[Superman]] (except with Thor's permission, in [[JLA-Avengers]]). |

** Sure it is. The wielder has to be worthy of the power of Thor. It's a dual-purpose enchantment by Odin to both make sure that power doesn't fall into the wrong hands, but also to make sure that there is a Thor who will ''act like Thor'' once Ragnarok comes around. Superman isn't worthy to lift Mjolnir because he's actually a little too heroic. A proper Thor needs to think like a warrior when the situation calls for it, which means being just a little bit more willing to use lethal force when necessary. That's no slight on Superman, it just means that Superman would make a poor viking, which is as it should be. |

** Early in ''[[Avengers: Age of Ultron]]'', the other members of the Avengers attempt to lift it as a sort of party game. Thor is shocked when the hammer moves slightly as Captain America grips it. |

** This pays off in ''[[Avengers: Endgame]]'' when it turns out he's ''definitely'' worthy of it and wields it in the battle against Thanos. |

* In ''Atlantis II: Milo's Return'', Gungnir is the artifact the third leg focuses on. It is in fact of Atlantean origin. A crazed shipwright named Eric Helstrom, under the delusion he was Odin, stole it from Mr. Whitmore's collection and attempts to use it to cause Ragnarok. He is prevented from doing so and the spear is instead used to raise Atlantis back above the surface of the ocean. |
