![]() With the strength of Odin's enchantment corrupted, it is easy to imagine why Venom was able to summon the hammer before battling Knull. In Thor #7, a random mechanic in Oklahoma was able to pick it up after Thor cast the hammer down to Earth as an experiment (written by Donny Cates, inks by Aaron Kuder, colors by Matthew Wilson, letters by VC's Joe Sabino). Lastly, Venom's use of Mjolnir could be explained by the fact that Mjolnir's magic has been acting faulty lately, allowing for just about anyone to pick it up. A recent arc in Thor's comics, also written by Donny Cates, have shown that Mjolnir's magic isn't working properly. In addition, it should also be noted that Venom summons Mjolnir from Thor's hand, rather than picking it up off the ground, leaving room for the possibility that Mjolnir acted on its own accord. Clearly, both Mjolnir and the Enigma Force have a much more storied history than Venom, and there is no telling how their paths may have crossed earlier on in time. Skeptics of Venom's worthiness may prefer this explanation, because it shifts attention away from Eddie Brock's personal qualities.

Evidence for this can be seen as recently as Avengers #36, when Mjolnir refused to be used as a weapon against Black Panther, because his ancestor had wielded it a million years earlier (written by Jason Aaron, art by Javier Garrón, colors by Jason Keith, letters by VC's Cory Petit). With an entity like the Engima Force on his side, it isn't difficult to see why even someone like Venom could pick up Mjolnir.Įnigma Force and Venom's Worthiness aside, Mjolnir is still a somewhat sentient being, able to act on its own accord. Venom combined Mjolnir with Silver Surfer's board, creating a powerful battle axe that allowed him to take down hordes of Grendel dragons with minimal effort. After bonding with the Enigma Force, Venom summoned Mjolnir from Thor's hand as he went to battle Knull for the final time. The Enigma Force is an ancient entity that represents life and light in the universe, and it helped resurrect Eddie after his death. There are a number of different explanations for why someone as flawed as Venom could successfully wield Mjolnir, and it mostly comes down to the fact that Venom had help from the Enigma Force.

Crucial to the events of King in Black was the death of Eddie Brock in the event's second issue, imbuing his character with an extra sense of purpose in King in Black #5 after he was resurrected. ![]() The symbiote god, Knull, overpowered many of Earth's mightiest heroes early on, and as one of the oldest beings in the universe, seemed to be three steps ahead of the heroes at every turn. To back up for a moment, The King in Black event has been full of surprising moments, with Venom's use of Mjolnir being just the tip of the iceberg. As a deeply troubled anti-hero who finds glee in violence, Venom would seem like one of the last people that the hammer would consider worthy. So how could Venom lift Mjolnir in the first place? ![]() Originally used by Odin, Mjolnir has an enchantment placed on it that makes it impossible to lift by anyone unless they are "worthy." And as opposed to characters like Beta Ray Bill, Loki, Jane Foster, and Captain America, who have lifted Mjolnir, Venom is neither a god nor a typical hero that the hammer would present itself to. In his final showdown with Knull in King in Black#5, Venom (Eddie Brock) summoned Mjolnir from Thor's hands and used it in conjunction with Silver Surfer's board (written by Donny Cates, pencils by Ryan Stegman, inks by JP Mayer and Ryan Stegman, colors by Frank Martin and Jason Keith, letters by VC's Clayton Cowles). There are few characters in Marvel Comics who have had the privilege of wielding Thor's weapon, Mjolnir, and Venomis the latest to prove that he is worthy of its power. ![]()
