Superman Lifts Thor’s Hammer (JLA/Avengers: Marvel vs DC Crossover)

[@blackheart0129]

Superman wielding Mjolnir and Cap's Shield is perhaps one of my most favorite comic drawings ever. There is nothing more epic than that in all of comics.

FACTS

[@sylvesterxd8285]

Thor giving Superman the hammer is 1 of the best comic book moments ever

[@daveroberts5020]

Superman also held Captain America's shield at the same time as Mjolnir. If there was a crossover film with this scene it would get even bigger roars and cheers than Cap holding Mjolnir in Endgame.

[@tnbn55]

Thor wanted Superman to use it - Odin agreed, disabling the worthiness enchantment. Cap sitting out the fight (when he's an on-field commander) just so Superman could get the shield, was even dumber.

[@marcusmullings9261]

That's because Odin told him too

[@tnbn55]

@@marcusmullings9261 Odin told who what?

[@tnbn55]

@TigerClaw! Kinda. He has some of the worthiness qualities being a good guy who can do the right thing. And since all he had to do was whack a barrier, Odin allowed it - but didn't allow it after the barrier was destroyed. Now if the best way to stop the threat was to smash Krona's head until it explodes, Superman isn't doing that.

I'll just repeat one critic's take on this moment, in case you missed my comment. "WHO WANTS TO SLAM DANCE WITH THE FIRST-BORN SON OF GOD?!?"

[@seanbigay1042]

BTW, Thor had to lend Superman his hammer with special permission from Odin, otherwise Superman wouldn't have been able to use it. That's right, SUPERMAN of all people is unworthy to use Mjolnir. Why? Because he's not okay with killing.

[@nickel-bolas951]

This is George Perez's magnum opus. The man lobbied for so long to get this made, and he deserves every win imaginable, Busiek too for writing it. This is my favourite comic of all time, and it saddens me that this level of inter-company co-operation and friendly rivalry doesn't happen anymore. This needs to be an animated movie. Please.

[@Dr.JHamilton]

I think it could eventually become a two part live action movie. Now that superhero movies are bombing left and right, Marvel and DC are eventually going to get desperate for a hit, and will just say screw it, let's get this done.

Basically Marvel agreeing that Superman is the REAL last line of defence among all heroes. When Superman stops fighting, you know it's really bad, and as long as he is fighting, there is hope.

[@DarthAlphaTheGreat]

I think this is beyond dispute at this point though lol When you ask people what they think a superhero is, even in this time when Marvel Movies are dominating the film industry, people will still say Superman as an example. (They will likely say at least one of Spider-Man, Batman and Captain America, and guaranteed to say Superman)

[@jasoncarter1869]

Hmmmm I think you may have missed the point. They couldn't have done it without each other. Superman needed the avengers, he needed Thors Hammer, he needed Odin's permission to lift it. Meanwhile, marvel needed him to be strong enough to lift it. The point was never about one hero or one side being the winner or one side having the most important artifact or character. The point, as usual, was that good triumphs over evil. Virtues like humility, strong will, might, and trust were put in display. The overall concept wasn't about everything coming down to superman because they would have failed if it had been left to any hero, alone. The idea was that teamwork was the key. It happens this way most of the time. If Cap and Bats didn't figure things out early on, if Thor didn't trust Sups with the hammer, if Superman wasn't deemed worthy, if flash and Hawkeye didn't work together at the end, they all lose..... Superman or no superman. Amiright?

[@drdoom1805]

[@jasoncarter1869]

@Ike Dyson I think that's true. To be honest, he should have died in this story. "Reality warpers" hit him with red sun radiation and kryptonite so it should have been over for him. I mean even a human with kryptonite tipped bullets could kill him. Somehow, it just never turns out that way. They always write in some way for him to win even when it doesn't really make sense. Even in BVS he basically should have been killed but "Martha" right? Smh And then in the same movie, he of all people, used the kryptonite spear. He flies with it at full speed and full power. He shouldn't even have been able to pick it up. Fuckin writers.

Im going to guess its going to be mentioned that Superman was not in fact worthy and that the restriction was lifted.....

[@TLparkZ]

kingknotts expect fanboys to ignore that part lol.

[@kingknotts]

The funny thing is the reason Superman is not worthy is one of the most iconic parts of his character.... he refuses to kill and as such does not meet the warrior requirement. Even Captain America who has in 2 instances wielded Mjolnir has proved himself to be a warrior and has killed.

[@kingknotts]

***** Not only is it more recent [in canon anyway since it happened before in a what if story], it was complete horse shit when compared to what has long been established....since it involved stripping THOR Odinson of his name and on top of that NOBODY that was considered worthy being able to lift it due to the enchantment changing itself. On top of that while she has not killed she has proven herself to be willing to if needed by using Sif's sword to fight with while she was on side kick duty and has both been an Asgardian and had Sif inside of her. Also killing doesn't have anything to do with it having the ability to do so when needed IS part of being a warrior which is explicitly a required characteristic. NOBODY with a strict no kill rule has been capable of doing so. Spiderman is the closest to one and even he has blood on his hands... He used Whisper as a human shield to protect himself causing Whisper to die, back when Strange lost his comic for a bit and the solution that made neither fanbase happy of forcing Spiderman to have to go to Strange for help constantly led to him erasing someone [the Shade] from existence,and the obvious Morlun..... The 2nd closest is Cap who has been very open about the fact he has killed people [mostly during war but there were a small number of times he has done so outside of war including shooting people to death based on instinct before he even realized he did so. No kill = no worthy... there are a TON of requirements established to be worthy, being a warrior is one that while mentioned a number of the people that are worthy it is not obvious right away due to the life they lived beforehand [such as being an emergency responder]... A universal trait they have all possessed which is generally something considered to be a requirement of being a warrior is they will kill when needed.

[@LSSRoshi]

Anthony Angelosanto Bad writing that goes against Marvel's history of the hammer, Odin, and Thor. Odin decides who is worthy by his enchantment. That's why he's grabbed it from Thor, and beat Thor's ass down when he was trying to teach him a lesson.

[@kingknotts]

LSSRoshi Technically Mjolnir decides who is worthy but Odin had the ability to override the enchantment at any time. BRB for example Odin didn't decide was worthy since he didn't even know who BRB was until after the fact.

[@denniscleary7580]

THANKS ROB! I absolutely love this story, nothing compares to George Perez. I love how they show flash being far superior to quicksilver like it should be. ⚡️⚡️⚡️⚡️

[@navy0287]

Superman is normally not worthy of lifting Mjolnir. But I must admit, it's interesting watching people trying to come up with theories (other than what's actually explained in the comic and video) to try working around it.

[@izzythefizzy4]

MVG How wouldn't he be worthy? He is like the nicest and most heroic of all Superheroes haha

[@-m.d.n-9019]

izzythefizzy 4.0 because of the things to make you worthy is you have to have the will to kill that Thor has but Superman doesn't.

[@izzythefizzy4]

AVATAR STICKMAN I guess, but he will kill someone if that's the only way. Although I am assuming it more of a "just kill them" type of deal?

[@navy0287]

AVATAR STICKMAN Exactly. I originally misread what you wrote and had to change my comment, but you are dead on. In addition to the nobility, you would have to have that warrior spirit. Normal worthiness would be determined by the Viking standards by which Odin, Thor, and all other Asgardians exist by. Being a good or pure person (like Superman was) wouldn't be enough. You would probably also need to be considered a warrior/soldier (or possibly have the heart and spirit of a warrior) by Asgardian/Viking standards; something Superman has never been in any of his mainstream continuities. The enchantment also allows the hammer to be wielded by someone if Thor is incapacitated and the battle must be won or if Thor wills the hammer to them; as Thor does in this case. Superman was in a position to continue the battle and Thor wasn't, so Thor tossed it to him.

[@-m.d.n-9019]

***** that's called bad writing and it's because of something having to do with Mjolnir's history.

[@eb6505]

Great story. Great idea. Hope to see more of this.

[@kryptonyan9298]

Less star wars more of this :)

[@LeoBeastmode]

I like star wars.

[@majinsole8554]

There's a place for both of them... ~_~

[@hossrex]

Kryptonyan I agree. I know star wars isn't indie stuff, but if I want to know about something other than the Big Two, I should be reading it. I PERSONALLY watch you so I can learn the history of the two core universes, as to better understand the context of the new stuff I buy every week. That seems like the safest perspective from which this channel could come.

[@LeoBeastmode]

I wouldn't mind Rob focusing on Marvel and DC and occasionally dipping into other comics like Star Wars and the Walking Dead. Variety is the spice of life.

[@majinsole8554]

Yes. Keep it spicy. ~_~

[@shakenbake5566]

Chris B I gotta agree bro that story would be legit. great idea.

[@0909rayman]

Grand Master is in Thor Ragnarok not GOTG 2.

[@lloydgreen980]

Now you need to do the X-Men v Teen Titans, also X-Men v Star Trek, love what you're doing keep it up.

[@demetriusholley8288]

wrong answer. I own that book. it isn't concluded that Batman vs Captain America would be a draw. Batman states that Cap could beat him but it would take a long time.

[@Ozzy_2014]

Demetrius Holley he said be could! batman could win! that's a draw.

[@drdoom1805]

@@Ozzy_2014 no Batman admitted that cap would win agreed to be friends and then carried on as super friends.

[@gino1802]

@@drdoom1805 yeah. Cap would win. But only because his super endurance, super strength

[@davidcdun8896]

Most beautiful crossover ever.

[@kanon1118]

you know i read somewhere where Disney tried to buy WB, who owns DC. The deal didnt happen WB rejected the offer as ive read. But if the sale happened, this wouldve been possible on the big screen.

[@cjbangot6141]

idiot not gonna happen

[@jackopsftw6936]

This guys videos are my drug keep up the great work

[@PracticalBibleStudies]

Superman would be worthy of the hammer, surely.

[@slamyourheadin9449]

He isn’t willing to kill anyone. It’s the reason wonder women is worthy and superman is not.

[@seanohalloran384]

Great video thanks! I hope they come out with a gallery edition of this comic. The art is amazing and the side notations regarding bringing the these teams together would be totally interesting. I also hope (although I’m sure it’s very unlikely) that they animate this and make a Cartoon movie on Blu-Ray! Maybe this video is the closest we’ll get to that. Thanks again!

[@realzhella6817]

why didn't u talk about eternity and kismet in the end....I was waiting for people to know about kismet

[@Ozzy_2014]

Baisil Sunny b/c he's not a DC guy and doesn't know about her. superman stories deal w her.

[@lylack1]

I'd like to know about Kismet.

[@realzhella6817]

Don Chong check her out...is a really interesting character and concept...DC's equivalent of both eternity and infinity.... however not much info is available on her.

[@realzhella6817]

ozzymandistwenty14 what do u mean ..he literally wrote a book on Supermans history.

[@96battlefield]

I wish DC and Marvel would do another crossover. Just them chilling and hanging out. That would be nice...

[@davidsirmons]

Giant Machine?? That's Terminus.

[@professionalserialkiller3782]

love you rob great work☺

[@LeoBeastmode]

So I've been a part of the Rob Corps for a while now but when can I get my Rob Corps ring?

[@baez550]

I though nobody was going to acknownledge this. Rob Corps, god damn it! I love it

[@stevenboykin116]

Leo Beastmode Me too I found him a long time before he was "Comics Explained", he was just "Marvel Explained" refusing to do any DC stories. During the first few episodes of The Weekly Pull Benny and Sal pressured him into incorporating more DC into the mix and Marvel Explained died and was reborn into what we have today as Comics Explained. If there are Rob Corps rings out there I gotta get one to promote the man where a lot of my comic book knowledge comes from.

[@professorBofFPU]

Love this comic. It's a TON of fun to read.

[@lynxvex]

If they made this into a movie it shut up all the fanboys and make a billion domestically (as long as Zack Snyder isnt involved!) 😅

[@Reichenfaust099]

Fucking awesome you did this.

[@benschober8383]

Hal just becomes the Spectre there at the end? Why didn't he just do that before and wipe the floor with everyone?

[@lenaurban7706]

It’s not really explained in the video but basically Barry Allen and Hawkeye were kinda killed and it triggered Hal becoming parallax for a second again and then he was replaced with Kyle because that part of the reality was kinda repaired so he became the Spectre again 💁‍♀️

[@darrendyson8347]

hey Rob! nice review as always. did you know that this story is the only one to actually be Canon even though it doesn't have any reminiscence of Prior stories so that means basically this actually happened in continually unlike previous stories.

[@Tones2372]

Lol Superman bodies thor XD

[@aaronpatterson2864]

good job with this...I had fun listening

[@DrVonBoogie]

Are they still creating DC/Marvel crossovers? They seem like really fun stories. If not, why is that?

[@pious83]

They don't anymore, because Disney doesn't own the movie rights to DC and that is all they care about.

[@ericmadsen9655]

Cameron West Its a shame that they don't but I bet it would be fun. I believe it's time to bring these heroes back together in another crossover adventure where the Justice League and the Avengers fight side by side once again but this time it's to stop unknown enemies that wants to bring about ragnarock by invading the nine realms and stealing some very powerful mystical stones that if bought together it would bring about the end of Asgard a little earlier and maybe the universe itself. I call this adventure JL/A crossover 2 "Battle for the 9 realms." The epic fight later ends where Asgard is almost completely destroyed but it isn't. What do you think? Should it happen?

[@e2victor613]

Eric Madsen how would that effect dc?
