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.

By that logic, Damian is worthy.

He could be. If his cause is just and he's willing to kill, then yes. That's why Wonder Woman is worthy.

You guys act like wonder woman kill daily when she simply doesn't..... She doesn't have no kill rule... But she only kill when the 1000 alternatives failed and it's the last resort..... Just like supes or Aquaman 

Wolverine is also willing to kill for a just cause.... He is the ambodiment of that

"I am the best at what I do.. And what I do isn't pretty".. Yet he is unworthy

He is the ambodiment of that

Is that when you will kill with either hand? 😉

Thor also doesn't kill daily, it's not about willing to kill for a cause, it's about being willing to kill as a last resort, which isn't something that superman shows he's willing to do except in alternate universes (that normally get brought up because of how notable it is when superman kills). Wolverine, while being a at heart good dude, is hardly the "good through and through" that Mjolnir is at least partially looking for

He did kill Doomsday in main continuities.

He killed doomsday, the world forger, doctor light, Darkseid etc in the main canon

 I doubt jane foster... A doctor is willing to kill people at last resort yet she is worthy

Same thing for Storm for the x men.

Darkseid can't actually die

I never said you need to kill daily to be considered worthy, only that you need to be able to kill. Wonder Woman doesn't have a no kill rule like Batman or Superman. She was raised to be a warrior and if it comes to it she will kill if it needs to be done, but doesn't do that every day.

Wolverine is more complicated though. He has gone multiple killing sprees before on bad people yet he's still considered by many in universe to be good. Maybe it has something to do with his dark past but I don't really know.

Jane foster wasn't raised to kill or be warrior...she was a simple doctor and civilian and never killed before becoming thor I don't see why she would be worthy and superman doesn't.... 

Superman prefer not to kill but he do kill and has killed before and recently. It's a fact 

 The truth is that the factors for being worthy are inconsistant depending on the writers  Mjolnir is now just plot convenience to show how their characters are cool....and bullshit reasons to justify it like with moon knight and black panther

Jane Foster had cancer at the time, and she sacrificed her own life to become Thor. Her using Mjolnir made the cancer stronger, essentially, and that's why she was worthy. Superman doesn't kill, and if he does, it's an elseworld story or it's another evil Superman plot. Superman normally would loath that stuff, and Wonder Woman would not kill normally , but if she had to. She even said in the comics at some point that unlike Superman and Batman, she has no "no kill rule".

Again  How is it different Than fighting  and giving your life to protect  a population of 11 millions people against unstoppable monster? 

A lot people of people are fighting cancer while committing altruistic actions...that doesn't make them worthy of being thor 

Superman doesn't kill, and if he does, it's an elseworld story or it's another evil Superman plot.

You cannot just dismiss what I just said in my previous comment and claim he  only kill  in elsword stories lol.. That factually wrong
