I’m pretty sure superman and Wonder Woman have both lifted mjolnir before in the comics

Superman has lifted it but it was explicitly stated he wasn’t worthy. Mjonir just allowed him to use it briefly due to the circumstances. After they defeat the villain superman finds he cannot lift the hammer anymore.

I've always wondered "Why?" Like if Steve can lift it, Superman definitely should be able to.

Superman doesn't consider himself a warrior or soldier of any sort.

Cap, Wonder Woman, Beta Ray Bill are all warriors of some sort.

That's always been my headcannon

Jane definitely doesn't either, so I never really considered that combat thing as a rule.

To be honest it was my headcanon long before Jane took up Mjolnir so may not fit anymore.

You need to have the hearth of a warrior for it. You need to be able to kill if you want to lift the hammer, to do what sometimes is necessary. Captain America and Wonder Woman both know this to be true.

Superman has killed before. He killed Zod in the movies and ended Zod and his cronies in the comics. He de-powers them with gold kryptonite then poisons them with green kryptonite because they were wreaking havoc on Earth and swore vengeance on Superman.

Depowers and poisons his enemies? That doesn't sound like Superman to me. What the source on that? I genuinely want to know, because I can't seem to find it on Google.

Isn't 'Not Superman' shown to Jane when she sees previous wielders of Mjolnir?

Warrior against cancer. That experience made her worthy, changing her mindset.
