"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"

I can hear this.

Closest thing is Mother's Miak! (I think that was what he misread it as on the Halloween movie)

He reminded me of my Dad growing up.

In one of the numerous Marvel/DC crossovers both Superman and Wonder Woman were able to lift Mjolnir.

[–] toynbee@lemmy.world 5 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

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.

[–] uid0gid0@lemmy.world 4 points 2 weeks ago (2 children)

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.

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.

[–] DragonTypeWyvern@midwest.social 2 points 2 weeks ago* (last edited 2 weeks ago)

Wonder Woman is either a demigod with blessings to exceed that of most Olympians or a full goddess and can match most of Superman's feats of strength and speed.

Even if Storm could condense hurricane forces into something the size of her fist and have some form of physical resistance she'd still be killed by something moving at near light speed.

Or she'd get sucked into the Invisible Jet's turbines.

Storm's Omega-status is due to her global weather control, not personal combat power. Power over a large scale, but not necessarily the small one.

That all said, it's comics, and speed never gets the respect it's due.

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.

I don't want to look it up, because I don't want to disappointed, but I truly hope there's someone out there who makes Mr. Rogers Comics full time. Just churning out inspirational, wholesome, wonderful content in memory of an incredible person

who the hell is this character that apparently only I haven't heard of???

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

[–] VerilyFemme@lemmy.blahaj.zone 19 points 2 weeks ago* (last edited 2 weeks ago) (3 children)

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!

We'll never have to develop the Voight-Kampf test...

If someone watches Ernest goes to Camp and doesn't shed a tear they're a fucking Terminator

"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?"

[–] MrJameGumb@lemmy.world 9 points 2 weeks ago

Of course Ernest can lift Thor's hammer, he's walked The Path of the Brave!

Odin was actually surprisingly woke about whitewashing, he gets smote.

Look in my face, stare in my soul

I begin to stupify
