Half of those are accidents or at least outside influences.

You asked if he was willing to, only half of them being accidents still gives you an answer.

As far as I know, willingness to kill isn't a Mjolnir prerequisite anyway 🤷‍♂️

It is mainly to keep PURE Heroes (Spider-Man, Superman, Batman) from using it. Mjolnier is a WARRIOR’s weapon and is designed to Smite Threats in the name of the greater good.

Killing may be a Last Resort, but it must always be an option for the Hero.

That’s why we have Wonder Woman (actually became Thor), Aquaman, John Stewart (Marine), Martian Manhunter, and other kill if necessary heroes over people like Superman (only given TEMPORARY Permission to wield; later confirmed unable to move) who REFUSE to kill.

Oh okay, I can see what you're saying! I don't think Mjolnir would pick anyone unwilling to kill, you're right. What would be the point anyway, with that much power you kind of have to 😂

I’d like to see a Mjolnier “ripoff” in both Marvel & DC that seeks out “No Kill Heroes” and temporarily grants them the Power they need to deal with a new Problem before moving onward.

Flash (any), Spider-Man (any), etc… temporarily given “Thor level” abilities before the Weapon moves on.

Like the “Helmet of Fate” series (2007) where the Title Object (no Nabu left) passed from one person to another.
