As minions of the two entities were overwhelming the combined might of the Justice League and the Avengers, Thor - who had fought Superman to a standstill two issues earlier - had a wild idea for an emergency course of action. The story involved the catastrophic near-merging of the mainstream Marvel and DC universes due to a contest being held between the Grandmaster and Krona, a supremely powerful being seeking the secrets of creation. Check out this image, which was used for one of the issue's variant covers, and which depicts Big Blue wielding not only Mjolnir, but Captain America's shield - making him the only character in comics history besides Cap himself brandish both of the iconic weapons at once. This occurred in the fourth issue of the Avengers/JLA crossover event, in a story titled "The Brave and the Bold," published in December 2003. So, if Superman were to happen to come across Thor's legendary weapon - which famously is immovable to those unworthy of its might - could he lift it? Well, the answer to that question is simple: he can, and he has. In most depictions, anyway, the hero is an absolute beacon of virtue - fair-minded, possessed of a strong sense of duty to watch out for the little guy, and unwilling to even think about using his immense power for anything other than protecting the innocent and thwarting evil. If there's any DC character one would think might stand a chance of being worthy, it's Supes.
