As an expert in comic book lore and superhero narratives, I can provide an informed answer to your question about whether Superman can hold Thor's hammer, Mjolnir.

In the Marvel and DC Comics universes, the characters Superman and Thor have different origins and sets of rules that govern their abilities. Thor's hammer, Mjolnir, is enchanted with a spell that allows only those who are deemed "worthy" to lift it. This worthiness is not just about physical strength but also about character and moral integrity.

Superman, being an iconic DC Comics character known for his incredible strength and moral fortitude, has indeed been depicted as being able to lift Mjolnir in some comic book storylines and alternate realities. However, in the main continuity of the Marvel Universe, it is generally accepted that only characters who meet the specific criteria set by the enchantment can wield Mjolnir.

That said, there have been exceptions and instances where characters not typically considered "worthy" have lifted Mjolnir, often due to unique circumstances or interpretations of the enchantment's rules.

In conclusion, while Superman has been shown to lift Mjolnir in some narratives, it is not a consistent rule across all stories. The ability to lift Mjolnir is subject to the specific context and the interpretation of the enchantment's criteria for worthiness.

If you can lift it, is the first indicator that you MIGHT be worthy. Not everyone is worthy enough to hold it and wield its power. This is not Superman's case. In the 2003-2004 fangasm that was JLA/Avengers, Superman uses both Captain America's shield and Thor's hammer in the final battle against Krona.
