    “Hey Vern, look at this here Mejollyneer I just found!” throws to the side “Yep, it’s a good thing I drank my Purity brand milk today, or else I wouldn’t be able to lift that little ol’ inchworm crawling across yer window there, knowhatimean.” “Yes sir, it’s all thanks to Purity brand milk that you see the striking figure of a god before you, Ernest P. Worrellsson.” “ehhehehehehehehe.” Mjolnir returns and smacks Ernest on the side of the head OUGH"

    there is straight up not enough info here to Google it and the comments aren’t helping.

      Maybe I can clear a few things up:

      There once was a man named Worrell-Ernest P. Worrell!

      Even as a lad he was sensitive and caring

      As cunning as a fox and as slippery as a herring

      Whimsical and Mellow- A hale and hearty fellow

      Not formal… Not normal!

      There once was a man named Worrell-Ernest P. Worrell!

      He’s kindly as a saint but he’ll never shirk a battle

      To villains everywhere he’s a burr beneath the saddle

      He’s nimble quick and brawny-His skin is smooth and tawny

      Not mealy… Not really!

      Ah ah ah ah! See the lightning fill the sky!

      Ah ah ah ah! See the angry tide!

      See the blinding rain come down ‘Oh where is a hero now?’ The children cried

      He’s inside… He went inside!

      There once was a man named Worrell-Ernest P. Worrell

      The hero of today is the legend of tomorrow

      And whosoever crosses him shall live their life in sorrow

      For lo the bridges burneth

      That they may not returneth

      To learneth… from Erneth!

      There once was a man named Worrell-Ernest P. Worrell!

      Let’s celebrate this champion, this paragon of virtue

      And should you be his foe, he’ll be sorry if he hurts you

      To some he’s just a man but to others he’s a beacon!

      He sends his mother cash and he calls her every weekend!

      He’s punctual, he’s affable, he’s never quick to quarrel

      He’s moral… He’s Ernest P. Worrell!

    I’m one of the numerous Marvel/DC crossovers both Superman and Wonder Woman we’re able to lift Mjolnir.

      Batman should. He’s just a dude, and he gets in fistfights with armed goons, as a calling.

      I only have a vague memory of this because it was a single comment I read on TV Tropes a decade or more ago, but weren’t some or all of the requirements lifted to allow that? IIRC, Superman wouldn’t have met the requirements because of a “lack of a warrior’s spirit.” No idea regarding Wonder Woman.

        The first time it happened, there was a thing about Odin making an exception for Kal-El, but that has since been retconned. I don’t recall Wonder Woman needing any exceptions, but she also didn’t use it in her flight with Storm, as it wouldn’t have been fair.

          Did the DC writers pen that one? Storm is an omega level mutant. Wonder woman is part of the DC Trinity, but it’s hard to punch hurricanes that land on top of you.

            Who won each battle was determined by fan voting prior to the publish date. This was also back in 1996 before Diana got written to be basically immune to the elements and Storm knocked her out with lightning.

              Did Wolverine bribe Lobo to take a fall? I think I read that in the same trope binge.

    “Hey Verne! Found a perfectly good hammer for free downtown where all that fighting was happening! Now we can finally put the finishing touches on those cabinets in your kitchen, know-what-I-mean?”
