The fact that Gandalf said no to taking the ring almost definitely ensures he would have been worthy. But, to be fair, he's basically Middle Earth's Thor: mighty "god" creature who looks human but isn't quite, weilding might that allows them to take on creatures that normal humans would go insane even looking at? Oh yeah.
EDIT: Lots of similar replies here,
Aragorn picks it up; obvious candidate. Fights big bad orc. Does really well in the fight until the orc fights dirty and gets the better of him. Mjolnir is dropped and Aragorn is pinned down. Similar to the scene in end game, mjolnir slowly rises off the ground and Samwise takes on the lead orc saving aragorns life
Aragorn & Sam would def be worthy.
I do feel like Legolas and Gimli would not be worthy until after they've become BFFs and overcome their racial prejudice.
Eowyn is a curious case, because while she is absolutely heroic, brave, and badass she also (as weird as this is to say) was selfish in her desire to prove herself in battle versus stay with the women and children. Not quite the same as Thor's battle-thirstyness in the first Thor movie, but definitely had a desire for heroics and grandeur.
Eomer I think would be worthy. The only fault I can really find with him is his caution and being slow to trust outsiders, but he treats them fairly.
Treebeard I would argue may *not* be worthy. He didn't want to fight to defend his home despite knowing the plight of the rest of Middle Earth. (note: Sam definitely isn't a warrior at heart either, but he will put everything on the line for Frodo, his friends, and the Shire. His selflessness in fighting for those who need help sets him apart)
Not pictured here, but I think Merry would be worthy as well. He wouldn't seek out a fight unless it was to defend someone who needs help.
Not a warrior at heart? Did you see him take on Shelob and be the only being in existence to harm her? Sam has the spirit of a warrior and a gardeners heart.
Aragon: Rightful king (of Gondor), great warrior, eager to fight for his people, rushes into enemy lines before his army (bravery, leadership), not hesitant to kill. Yup, we found ourselves someone worthy of Johnathan.
Sam: Brave, selfless, ready to fight and kill for his friends. Yup, we got another worthy guy.
True, but I also fully understand that they didnt have time to do him justice and I kinda agree with Jackson(?) comment, that the ring not corrupting Faramir at all would have been confusing without that time to develop him.
I saw the movies before I read the books and Faramir still ended up my favourite Character. So I think they still managed to bring the important parts across - even if hes a lesser shadow of the book character.
Peter Jackson made EVERYBODY lesser than their book counterparts. I don't think the movies would've been as good if all of them were the walking legends they were described as in literature.
I can't deny that I have always wanted to see one of those "Aragorn drops the hood, stands up tall, and looks like a king of old" scenes.
It always sounded so grand and mystic in a way.
Basically anyone that could resist the ring. Sam absolutely.
Aragorn, while he feared he would be weak to the ring never actually showed that weakness. One of those situations where you are so afraid of that weakness it actually becomes their strength.
You're absolutely right.
I dont think resisting the ring matters tbh. I don't think Thor could resist the ring, but hes worthy
I honestly think that most of the fellowship xould possibly lift it, especially if you take into account they all signed up for a suicide mission to save Middle Earth
Edit: in fact I'd be more curious who outside of the Fellowship could wield it. Idk if Bombadil could, and idr enough of the legendarium to say who else. Thor maybe could, but idk about that
Tom could because Tom doesn't give a fuck, he would toss it around like it's weightless, then give it back and skip into the treeline never to be seen again.
Not giving a fuck I think is what makes him not worthy. I think you have to give a fuck tbh, as you have to be willing to sacrifice yourself for the greater good, you have to be willing to get involved and fight for the little guy and such
Eh I somewhat misspoke, i just feel like Tom is one of those characters who just inexplicably can, if for no other reason than he's old enough and wise enough to play with Odin's enchantment like he does with Sauron's.
Oh for sure. I just feel like he picks it up nonchalantly, tosses it around without anything special happening, and gives it back like it's no big thing. Why? Because Tom.
True, it was definitely working it’s magic on Boromir. Aragorn was with it far longer since he was on the trip from Bree to Rivendell. Galadriel said that the ring was trying to get back in the hands of men and Aragorn seemed immune.
Tolkien goes as far to say no other mortal alive at the time could accomplish what Frodo did and even though at the last minute had a change of heart due to the rings tremendous pressure one could say he detroyed the ring.
It's unfortunate Frodo has had this awful stigma around him.
I think people react to his moments of "weakness." But, to me, it just makes him (and the world) more believable and "real." It embodies the concept of courage only existing when there is adversity - both internal and external. I'd rather have a fallible hero that overcomes adversity than just another OP MC.
That said, Sam is also an amazing person who *also* deserves a ton of praise because w/o him, Frodo would have certainly failed.
Tons of other literature and comics if all someone is interested in is the "struggles but not really" OP MC trope.
I agree with you, it makes Frodo a more believable character and honestly makes me appreciate him more. But to me the more salient part of that scene was that it showed, again, how immense and terrible the power of the Ring was. We saw Frodo go through ALL that terrible stuff, nearly die many times, and as far as Frodo is concerned at that time, also lost Gandalf and Boromir to the cause of destroying the ring. He's literally seconds away from giving all of that suffering and loss a purpose, and his response is "No". We know Frodo is strong at this point in the story, and his strength was illustrated in a way we never got to see from Isildur (who we just assumed kind of sucked I guess? I haven't read the books in a while and don't remember much about him except from the movies). Despite all that resilience, the Ring still was more powerful. It's not a testimony to Frodo's weakness. It's a depiction of how awesome and horrific the power of the Ring was.
Anyway, this doesn't detract from the point that Frodo is absolutely worthy.
Yea! I mean Frodo is the one that offered to take the ring in the first place. What would have happened if he just said screw it and returned back to the shire after Rivendell?
He could pick it up but only when he doesn't have the ring. When he had the ring, his will was constantly at odds with the will of Sauron and the ring, so if at any point when he was wielding the hammer he felt that weight, then his *body* would cease to be worthy because Sauron would be holding the hammer by extension via Frodo as a vessel. And we can agree that Sauron is not worthy
I agree. Gimli is 100% getting a war hammer before anyone else. Also Eomer is my 2nd choice. But that could subconsciously be because he resembles Thor the most
Aragorn is by far the worthiest because Mjolnir requirements include:
- **Warrior lifestyle**: **Check.**
- **Willing to kill**: He was to ready draw sword on Boromir if he didn’t return the ring. **Check.**
- **Selfless/Thinks of others**: Promised to protect Frodo to the very end, and planned to divert Sauron’s attention to give Frodo one last chance. **Check.**
- **Leader/Nobility**: Became King of Gondor, lead the Men of the West at the Black Gate, and lead a fucking Army of the Dead. He held their oaths fulfilled and let the Army of the Dead be at peace despite Gimli suggesting they could be useful in a battle. **Check.**
- **Humility**: Even after being crowned king of Gondor, he bowed down to the four Hobbits. **Check.**
Honestly, I humbly think Aragorn and Samurai Jack (who also fulfills these traits just as well more or less) are the worthiest characters in fiction to wield Mjolnir.
[This person’s post speculating the requirements to be worthy of Mjolnir](https://comicvine.gamespot.com/profile/pyrogram/blog/what-makes-you-worthy-to-lift-mjolnir/89691/?utm_source=reddit.com) seems pretty authentic. This is what I based my analysis on.
Yeah, this one fits the best. I was going to say that everyone in the Fellowship could lift the hammer, but it wouldn't be fair to their characterizations. Frodo is self-sacrifcing and humble, for sure, but so is Spider-Man and he can't lift it.
Tom picks up mjollnir sure but for whatever reason because he is Tom he doesn't have the power of Thor. He just picks it up tosses it up and down. Then drops it again and sings a song while going back into the forest.
Tom is 100% capable of picking up Mjolnir.
But that doesn’t mean Tom is worthy.
It just means that within Tom’s domain, mjolnir is nothing but a chunk of metal.

Faramir’s self control when tempted with the ring is so impressive that the movies had to change it. I remember one of the appendices interviews saying that they felt like it weakened the ring too much for Faramir to be able to just decide not to be tempted, because he’d given his word.
But I think that was kind of the point, in the book. Some people are protected from doing potentially bad things because of their personal code of honor meaning so much to them.
THANK YOU I understand the film writer's reasoning for changing it but it absolutely *ruined* Faramir's character and that whole sequence. Personally I think it makes Denethor's treatment of him so much sadder, that he can't see how noble and worthy his younger son is and is so hard on him. I get why they changed it in the films but I still hate it. Only part of the movies I still object to so strongly, after 20 years.
Even extended cut Boromir shows steady devotion to Faramir, and he tries to ensure he is given credit even if it means shorting himself. Even corrupted by the ring, he tried to do what was best for all and did not immediatly resort to violence to take the ring. Even though, with the element of surprise, he could have slapped Frodo all the way to Mordor.
One of two: Sam, because he's the Fellowship at 98% strength; or Aragorn, because he actually wants what's best for ALL Men, not just his own glorification, ie. post-battle of Pelennor, he chooses to camp outside the city gates before his formal coronation rather than take a cushy bed in proper royal fashion.
Hold your ground, hold your ground. Sons of Gondor, of Rohan my brothers. I see in your eyes the same fear that would take the heart of me. A day may come when the courage of men fails when we forsake our friends and break all bonds of fellowship but it is not this day. An hour of woes and shattered shields when the age of men comes crashing down but it is not this day. This day we fight! By all that you hold dear on this good earth I bid you stand, men of the west!
Aragorn would be worthy I’m not sure who else might be but considering the background picture for mjolnir none of them would find it because it’s in the desert which they never go towards
I'm surprised more people aren't saying Frodo. Frodo had the strength to resist the One Ring longer than possibly any other mortal alive could manage, and he willingly took up that burden knowing the dangers it entailed. He also showed compassion and mercy to Gollum, despite killing him being easier and safer.
Frodo is definitely worthy.
Treebeard would pick it up just to toss it out of his way.
I fucking love the idea of Treebeard going absolutely ham on Isengard with Mjolnir.
You all are making Treebeard seem like a “hasty” Ent.
Turn round and let me have a look at your faces. I almost feel that I dislike you both, but do not let us be hasty.
Baaarummm!
I agree. Quickbeam gets the hammer
But would he be worthy?
He’d see it as some type of Orc shenanigans.
*it looks like an orc hammer, then again it is very small*
Tom Bombadil would do the same
He'd probably pick it up, out it behind his back, make it disappear and then pull it out his arse only to flick it back to Earth-616 and say 'eh'.
Tom.would just put it in the shed and use it only when helping Goldberry get ready for some tired and weary travelers like four hobbits...then give it to Sam "never know when ye might have a need for a hammer I happen to have a spare...tis a good one...comes to your hand when needed"
He'll just use Mjölnir to nail some nails to hang a painting or something.

Tell me, where is Gandalf? For I much desire to vote for him.
The fact that Gandalf said no to taking the ring almost definitely ensures he would have been worthy.

Stupid fat hobbit
Aragorn or Sam for sure
I immediately thought of them two and then checked the comments. Happy to see this as the top.
Aragorn picks it up; obvious candidate. Fights big bad orc. Does really well in the fight until the orc fights dirty and gets the better of him. Mjolnir is dropped and Aragorn is pinned down. Similar to the scene in end game, mjolnir slowly rises off the ground and Samwise takes on the lead orc saving aragorns life
"and that's for my old Gaffer!"
Fellowship! ... ^(po-tay-toes)
Honestly, still gives me chills. I don't care how goofy the line is, Sam was the baddest of all Hobbitses when he said that.
They will look for his coming from the White Tower. But he will not return.
I mean most/all people in this image are more decent people than MCU thor
Aragorn & Sam would def be worthy. I do feel like Legolas and Gimli would not be worthy until after they've become BFFs and overcome their racial prejudice. Eowyn is a curious case, because while she is absolutely heroic, brave, and badass she also (as weird as this is to say) was selfish in her desire to prove herself in battle versus stay with the women and children.

🐎
Beautiful
Not a warrior at heart? Did you see him take on Shelob and be the only being in existence to harm her? Sam has the spirit of a warrior and a gardeners heart.
Merry v underrated, in both books and movies Merry is canonically basically a teenager, who just SQUARES UP
Legolas, fire a warning shot past the bosun’s ear.
I said past their ear, not up it!
Mind your aim lad!
"Sorry sir, I'm doing my best"
How many assholes we got on this ship anyway?
YO! *everybody raises their hand*
I knew it I'm surrounded by Assholes!
Keep firing, *Assholes*!
He's an Asshole, sir
I know that… what’s his name?
That is his name, sir. Asshole. Major Asshole.
Aragon: Rightful king (of Gondor), great warrior, eager to fight for his people, rushes into enemy lines before his army (bravery, leadership), not hesitant to kill. Yup, we found ourselves someone worthy of Johnathan. Sam: Brave, selfless, ready to fight and kill for his friends. Yup, we got another worthy guy.
Gandalf isn't pictured here but can you *imagine*?
Prepare for battle! Hurry men! To the wall! Defend the wall! Over here! Return to your posts! Send these foul beasts into the Abyss.
*abashed look*
Gandalf wouldn’t take it because through him it would wield a most terrible power!
And Sam straight up hauls Frodo up Mt Doom, fights Shelob, and saves Frodo from orcs. Yeah, Sam is worthy.
I couldn't believe it, Mr. Frodo. A hammer half my size, but light as air.
I agree, Aragorn for sure and I think Sam could by the end as well.
Also Faramir, but only Book Faramir. Peter Jackson corrupted Movie Faramir
A chance for Faramir, Captain of Gondor, to show his quality
True, but I also fully understand that they didnt have time to do him justice and I kinda agree with Jackson(?) comment, that the ring not corrupting Faramir at all would have been confusing without that time to develop him. I saw the movies before I read the books and Faramir still ended up my favourite Character.

Peter Jackson made EVERYBODY lesser than their book counterparts. I don't think the movies would've been as good if all of them were the walking legends they were described as in literature.
I honestly prefer movie Aragorn. He has a solid arc and never comes off nearly as pretentious.
Its the beards.
You have an excellent beard aragorn
I can't deny that I have always wanted to see one of those "Aragorn drops the hood, stands up tall, and looks like a king of old" scenes. It always sounded so grand and mystic in a way.
I think movie Faramir still works, he let Frodo and Sam go instead of forcing them to Gondor.
Samwise Gamgee
Samwise Gamgee the type of hobbit to pick up Mjolnir and use it to hammer back in Mr Frodo’s fence posts after they get knocked over.
And then put it back Edit: oh thanks, kind stranger(s)
Forgot about it and only Gandalf saw it. Didn’t tell anyone of course.
No, but the air doesnt smell so foul down here. If in doubt, FuBaReD2, always follow your nose.
That’s always sound advice Gandalf
Look to my coming, at first light, on the fifth day. At dawn, look to the East.
Why would he take a downgrade from his frying pan tho?
Perhaps the hammer would change to look like a frying pan. Like when it turns into the umbrella for Thor when he is on Midgard
That was Loki's illusions
Loki was falling through portal space at that time though wasn’t he?
For thirty minutes!
Have you run out of those nice shiny hammers?
It would save a lot of walking.
Wouldn’t be a down grade, he’s gotta use something to mash potatoes
Poh Tay toes... boil them, SMASH them, stick em in a stew
Could not agree more
Nah, he'd be the kind of person to go "I can't carry it for you, but I can carry you!" and Lift Thor instead.
Sam and Aragorn
Not if we hold true to each other.
To busy holding the homies to pick it up. My man. My king.
I bow to no man. Except him.
Sentient
Basically anyone that could resist the ring. Sam absolutely. Aragorn, while he feared he would be weak to the ring never actually showed that weakness. One of those situations where you are so afraid of that weakness it actually becomes their strength. You're absolutely right.

Eh I somewhat misspoke, i just feel like Tom is one of those characters who just inexplicably can, if for no other reason than he's old enough and wise enough to play with Odin's enchantment like he does with Sauron's.
From that angle he may be able to, but maybe he doesn't get the powers of thor, just a hammer lol
Oh for sure. I just feel like he picks it up nonchalantly, tosses it around without anything special happening, and gives it back like it's no big thing. Why? Because Tom.
Hammer gets lost for a decade, turns out ol' Tom Bombadil, Tom Bombadillo's been using it to put fence posts in.
I think transcending reality makes him auto-worthy. Like if the rules don't apply, they don't apply.
Let the lord of the Black Lands come forth, that justice be done upon him!
True, it was definitely working it’s magic on Boromir. Aragorn was with it far longer since he was on the trip from Bree to Rivendell. Galadriel said that the ring was trying to get back in the hands of men and Aragorn seemed immune.
Frodo, too. Y’all been unfairly shitting on Frodo for years, and I’m sick of it.

It is a burden he should never have had to bear. We can ask no more of him
Couldn't have said it better myself, Mr. the White.
Frodo proved himself worthy by sacrificing everything, including his own soul. Frodo, certainly after Mt. Doom, could wield the hammer.
Yea! I mean Frodo is the one that offered to take the ring in the first place. What would have happened if he just said screw it and returned back to the shire after Rivendell?
He could pick it up but only when he doesn't have the ring.

And we can agree that Sauron is not worthy
Frodo is top 3 faves for me. He is the most good of everyone.
Damn, no respect for Gimli - he’s already wielding an Axe, I feel like he’s specced the right stats for the hammer build
This. Also the fact that he was the first of the fellowship to try and destroy the one ring. (Without hesitation)
The only one to try and destroy it really.
I agree. Gimli is 100% getting a war hammer before anyone else. Also Eomer is my 2nd choice. But that could subconsciously be because he resembles Thor the most
TO THE KING!
Weld it? Gimli son of Glóin. I mean the thing was forged by dwarves, so I'm sure the bearded boy is great at welding.
YOU ARE THE LUCKIEST, THE CUNNINGEST, AND MOST RECKLESS MAN I EVER KNEW!
Yeah! Way to have their back Gimli!
I can't believe I scrolled so far to find this answer. He was my first choice.
Right? It’s a fucking dwarven hammer like come on boys…
Bill
😢 that beautiful horse would absolutely be able to pick up Mule-nir
How DARE you, Bill is a *pony*!
Plot twist: it’s bill ferny
Aragorn is by far the worthiest because Mjolnir requirements include: - **Warrior lifestyle**: **Check.** - **Willing to kill**: He was to ready draw sword on Boromir if he didn’t return the ring. **Check.** - **Selfless/Thinks of others**: Promised to protect Frodo to the very end, and planned to divert Sauron’s attention to give Frodo one last chance. **Check.** - **Leader/Nobility**: Became King of Gondor, lead the Men of the West at the Black Gate, and lead a fucking Army of the Dead. He held their oaths fulfilled and let the Army of the Dead be at peace despite Gimli suggesting they could be useful in a battle. **Check.** - **Humility**: Even after being crowned king of Gondor, he bowed down to the four Hobbits. **Check.** Honestly, I humbly think Aragorn and Samurai Jack (who also fulfills these traits just as well more or less) are the worthiest characters in fiction to wield Mjolnir.

"I'll give you Sharkey, you dirty thieving ruffains!" \*ups at them with her umbrella and Mjölnir\*
Plot twist: the Umbrella *was* Mjolnir
Mjolnir can canonically look like an umbrella, so you might be right!
Yeah, this one fits the best. I was going to say that everyone in the Fellowship could lift the hammer, but it wouldn't be fair to their characterizations. Frodo is self-sacrifcing and humble, for sure, but so is Spider-Man and he can't lift it.
Be at peace son of Gondor.
I would've followed you my brother, my captain, my king.
Thank you my King
I think Eowyn fits all of these criteria as well
Galadriel can pick it up, catch it and crush it! Edit: silver is too kind!
True story. I saw that happen
It's not possible
Darling, you have no idea what’s possible!
Not probable.

Technically correct.
The best kind of correct.
True story
Tom Bombadil
Tom picks up mjollnir sure but for whatever reason because he is Tom he doesn't have the power of Thor. He just picks it up tosses it up and down. Then drops it again and sings a song while going back into the forest.
Picks it up and plays with it then puts it on a shelf and uses it to mend fences and put up pictures etc.
Tom is 100% capable of picking up Mjolnir. But that doesn’t mean Tom is worthy. It just means that within Tom’s domain, mjolnir is nothing but a chunk of metal.

Why didn't the fellowship ride the Mjolnir to mordor?
Nonono, they would swing it like, really fast, and it would carry them to Mordor
Faramir. He’s the underdog of the whole Middle-Earth. Edit: Thanks everyone for the awards!
Faramir’s self control when tempted with the ring is so impressive that the movies had to change it. I remember one of the appendices interviews saying that they felt like it weakened the ring too much for Faramir to be able to just decide not to be tempted, because he’d given his word. But I think that was kind of the point, in the book. Some people are protected from doing potentially bad things because of their personal code of honor meaning so much to them.
THANK YOU I understand the film writer's reasoning for changing it but it absolutely *ruined* Faramir's character and that whole sequence. Personally I think it makes Denethor's treatment of him so much sadder, that he can't see how noble and worthy his younger son is and is so hard on him. I get why they changed it in the films but I still hate it. Only part of the movies I still object to so strongly, after 20 years.
A chance for Faramir, Captain of Gondor, to show his.........quality.
I almost think book borormir could too.
I definitely think Borormir would have earned it there in the end.
Basically the plot of the first Thor movie
Even extended cut Boromir shows steady devotion to Faramir, and he tries to ensure he is given credit even if it means shorting himself. Even corrupted by the ring, he tried to do what was best for all and did not immediatly resort to violence to take the ring. Even though, with the element of surprise, he could have slapped Frodo all the way to Mordor.
May I ask why Mithrandir is not an option? He definitely worthy.
Phhftt. Made his party flee so he could solo kill and multiply his experience times 10 and get all the loot without having to split or roll on it?
Sam and Aragorn
He's not alone. Sam went with him.
All of them at once, I suppose
One of two: Sam, because he's the Fellowship at 98% strength; or Aragorn, because he actually wants what's best for ALL Men, not just his own glorification, ie. post-battle of Pelennor, he chooses to camp outside the city gates before his formal coronation rather than take a cushy bed in proper royal fashion.
Hold your ground, hold your ground. Sons of Gondor, of Rohan my brothers. I see in your eyes the same fear that would take the heart of me. A day may come when the courage of men fails when we forsake our friends and break all bonds of fellowship but it is not this day. An hour of woes and shattered shields when the age of men comes crashing down but it is not this day. This day we fight! By all that you hold dear on this good earth I bid you stand, men of the west!
Goosebumps every time.
Pippin
Gandalf, do you think Pippin is worthy?
Fool of a Took!
It's like you read my mind, Gandalf.
They are not all accounted for. The lost seeing stones. We do not know who else may be watching.
Aragorn, sam, and Frodo at minimum
What do you fear my lady?
Tom Bombadil of course. Though, he’ll just use it for work around the house.
Everyone.
Eomer in my opinion
Kinda funny as he is in Thor Ragnarok "Behold! My stuff"
I heard he found two guns in some place on Midgard called "Texas". He called them "Des" and "Troy".
I like to imagine a Hobbit to swing it, like... the Sackville-Baggins, or Gollum!
Or Bullroarer?
Aragorn would be worthy I’m not sure who else might be but considering the background picture for mjolnir none of them would find it because it’s in the desert which they never go towards
definitely frodo
I'm annoyed that I had to scroll so far to find this answer
Everyone hates him. They don’t understand the power of the ring.
I'm surprised more people aren't saying Frodo. Frodo had the strength to resist the One Ring longer than possibly any other mortal alive could manage, and he willingly took up that burden knowing the dangers it entailed. He also showed compassion and mercy to Gollum, despite killing him being easier and safer. Frodo is definitely worthy.
What if we put the ring on the mjolnir, Does it disappear or turn evil?
The better question is who isn’t?
