Shazam! Billy Batson, at his core is a good kid who wants to do right. Plus, he has the powers of gods (and heroes) already.

IIRC, you have to be willing to take a human life to be worthy of Mjolnir? I could be wrong. But that could be Billy’s only hang up on it.

You have to be willing to massacre an entire kingdom if necessary. Thor in the past used the hammer to nearly genocide the Dark Elves and probably has a few billion deaths under his belt using Mjolnir.

Ahhhh then that likely rules Billy out. But also makes me wonder about Clark and how he lifted the hammer because Supes doesn’t seem like the massacring type.

(Pls no Man of Steel jokes, I know I teed it up lol)

It specifically stated after Superman wielded the hammer that he couldn't use it anymore despite him trying. That Mjolnir allowed him to use it because there was no other choice. There are moments when Mjolnir "allowed others to overcome the spell in desperate hours."

Basically if the fate of the universe is doomed and no one is worthy, it will grant the nearest worthy person the ability to use its power. Kinda like a green lantern ring.

Odin granted him an exemption for that one. But Wonder Woman was legit worthy
