Hello, I'm an expert in comic book lore and superhero abilities. Let's dive into the question of whether Magneto can lift Thor's hammer.

In the Marvel Universe, Thor's hammer, Mjolnir, is not just a simple piece of metal. It is enchanted by Odin, Thor's father, with a spell that allows only those who are deemed "worthy" to lift it. This enchantment is a magical one, not a physical one. Magneto, a mutant with the power to control metal, can manipulate ferrous metals and other metallic objects. However, Mjolnir is not just any piece of metal; it is a magical weapon.

The ability to lift Mjolnir is not about physical strength or the ability to manipulate metal, but rather about moral worthiness. Magneto, despite his powers, has not been shown to be able to lift Mjolnir in the comics because the enchantment is not something he can overcome with his powers.

So, the answer is: No, Magneto cannot lift Thor's hammer, Mjolnir, because the enchantment on the hammer is a magical condition that prevents those who are not worthy from lifting it, and Magneto's powers do not grant him this worthiness.

Since Magneto can manipulate magnetic fields, he would be able to move the hammer no matter where it locked itself into place. He can lift it, if deemed worthy by Odin. ... Actually, the most fitting scenerio might be that he can lift it, but still can't wield the hammer's power, i.e. do the things Thor does with it.read more >>
