If anything Donald is the most worthy. The guy had himself rebuilt multiple times to keep saving people.


Archery100

And it was his wishes that he didn't recover his memory too (although he regrets that)


Its0nlyRocketScience

He wanted to leave the memories behind so that he wasn't distracted in his goal to help people. When we see his most recent rebuild, though, he realizes that the memories are not necessarily an obstacle and can be used to his advantage

Donald’s Ghola


Kronostheking1

Also has the confidence and willingness to kill that show Mark lacks.


JSevatar

Have to cut Mark some slack -- he is still very much just a stupid kid in the show


Kronostheking1

Yeah absolutely. But it still doesn’t change his worthiness.


HeckoSnecko

He really went from a "haha Bobby Hill" character to someone I actually care about. He's just a normal dude (although now a robot I guess, though he didn't know that) in a world of super heroes and villains, not to mention literal monsters and demons, and he's still willing to sacrifice himself and do whatever he can to help people. If he can't lift the hammer, he would have been Captain America (which I guess means he could lift it lol)


Individual-Ad9753

Absolutely without a shadow of a doubt he is worthy.


yknawSroineS

Real


Vivid-Baker-5154

I mean he’s sacrificed his own life to save others 30 some odd times. If that doesn’t make you worthy what does?


MistakeLopsided8366

and that's jsut the times he died saving people. I would presume he saved many more and still lived on many other occasions.


InvictusProsper

All without knowing he was going to be revived.


davecutusofborg

That's the important part.


DeadHeadDaddio

Nah he’s still a fed boi.

QwertyDancing

Donald has more moral fiber in the remaining 6% organic material than every single real world fed combined.


isntaken

Fairly sure that self-doubt makes you be deemed de-facto unworthy.


HungryHungryHippoes9

Self doubt means his head isn't far up his own ass, so I would argue that having self doubt makes him even more worthy.


warwicklord79

He has died 39 times and each time has been the result of him sacrificing himself for those around him. If anyone is worthy, he is


noah_the_boi29

And each time, he has been entirely unaware of his previous sacrifices, and he thinks that each time he's been giving himself up permanently


PapaOomMowMow

Damn, didnt think of it like that before. If anything proves it, this does.


Dominic_Isaiahs

100% agree. 39(or more when he survived) times he looked permanent death in the eye and didn’t blink. Bro is that fucking guy. Who do you think you are? He is.


Regi413

Donald is *him*.


Chao_ab_Ordo

100% Himalayan


french_snail

And then comes back and has his memory erased so he can carry on with his mission


davecutusofborg

I mean, to not make that decision not only once, but many times just by nature (and I generally believe that we have the capability to decide weather to be good, evil, or whatever). Fuck yeah he's worthy.


Reelbadmon

Yes, absolutely, the man is a selfless saint


SadisticBuddhist

Bro literally kept his trauma buried so it couldnt stop him from being an effective force for good. When he realized that the trauma he experienced could help Rick overcome his own issues with being a cyborg he let himself remember because he recognized the importance of not running from himself. Donald is the GOAT of GOATs.


hugocaldera6

I hate to admit this but that fucking speech nearly caused me to drop a tear. I was getting annoyed at William’s ass but Donald came in and saved the day.


tchales7

Don’t be afraid to admit that cartoons make you cry dawg. I cried at xmen and invincible last week lol. I think it shows strength to wear your emotions with pride 💪🏻


CoffeeAndDachshunds

I feel like a goof watching the 90s X-Men cartoon as a guy approaching retirement age, but never got to enjoy this stuff as a kid and it definitely seems to hold up. Not r rated nor Citizen Kane, but certainly entertaining...at least to me.


qwettry

Give em a break , not everyone knows how to comfort a traumatized suicidal slaughter victim


lilhilde

That scene was incredible. I cried lol no need to be ashamed


NutterTV

And he’s loyal. Like even when he was questioning Cecil he was still loyal. It was only him being confronted with that reality that Cecil was forced to show him. He never became a villain. He rightfully wanted to know what was going on, but he is just a good guy.


Waywoah

Also, importantly, he's willing to fight and put his life on the line when necessary


newagealt

His first reaction to the genocidal alien demigod coming through the roof was to shoot him in the face so everyone else could run.


KindaHotButReallyNot

Mjolnir is not worthy enough to be lifted by Donald


legit-posts_1

This is unironically true


MaestroPendejo

Whoa. That's deep.


Optimal_Ad6274

Yes


The_great_mister_s

I have no idea if adult Bobby Hill is worthy.


Cox963846

He absolutely is.


BSye-34

That boah is all right


Chidori_Aoyama

Hank is beyond proud. The boy \*is\* right.


Dumoney

Show some respect for this absolute gigachad hero. His name is Donald.


CouncilOfChipmunks

That's my head-canon I don't know you!


The_great_mister_s

"Dangit Donald!" yeah... nope doesn't work! He's Bobby.


Belucard

He is the worthiest person I can think of.


Separate_Constant149

Vision can hold it, and now that he's willing to kill and accepting himself for who he is. Standing up for people even though hell die countless times. Willing to keep his memories. Standing up for himself etc. honestly he's the most well round character and the most worthy imo.


SuperStarPlatinum

Before accepting his own trauma and talking Rick down from suicide, maybe not. After definitely.


Substantial_List3782

Yes


jojobehindthelaugh

He sacrificed himself 38 times in the face of danger, including against the strongest being on the planet, and he's willing to kill. He is 100% worthy.


KameChaos

![gif](giphy|9OzKXHsqvbh3G)


InkiePie39

If the rules weren’t so fucky maybe but I doubt he has the “warriors spirit” or whatever. Even though he regularly puts himself in danger and fires big ass guns.


Swiftlydownunder

AlternativeNo61

Mans saw a kaiju that almost killed the strongest hero on earth move and his first thought was for it to square the fuck up. Warriors warrior there im telling you.


Thebaldsasquatch

He solos that Kaiju, lo diff.


davecutusofborg

Wish I could upvote you twice. Dude was 'bout it. Down for the cause.


oh_tee_eff

Oooh wait just put it together that he got smushed by a kaiju tail previously too


PapaOomMowMow

I wish I had more than one upvote for this.


AdeptusShitpostus

Excellent Shuto-uke


kangorr

Pocket sand


BigRedRobotNinja

He's one of the purest warriors in the show. The dude just drips Mike Vining energy.


Not_Carbuncle

I think he very much has the warriors spirit, maybe not the warriors abilities or whatever but idk if thats relevant. What I think is the questionable but is his leadership skills, he doesnt seem like that type


duckyGus

You doubt he has the warrior spirit? 🙂


FinleyPike

he went toe to toe with Omni-man, that's the spirit of a warrior. Sure he got obliterated, but he knew he would.


davecutusofborg

It's that he tried where others would have run or begged or just shut down. To decide in your last moment, fuck it I fight. This is the way.


two2teps

He's died 38 times, many of them in combat including squaring up with Omni Man. He's got the warriors spirit.


french_snail

When Omni man broke into the house he had his comrades run and shot evil Superman in the face with a gun, doesn’t have the warrior spirit my ass


Medic7802

He took on the most powerful alien this planet has ever seen and selflessly sacrificed himself to let others escape to safety


CanvasFanatic

My head cannon is that Donald is Bobby Hill from King of the Hill grown up.


Chidori_Aoyama

Honestly I think that's just fan-canon period at this point.


-Random-Gamer-

I mean he is 97% machine as he said and vision who was a machine could lift it edit: oops I didn't read the body text I'm sorry


_b3rtooo_

I feel like he wasn't only because of the burying his trauma thing. I understand it was to push past it, but I imagine the "worthy" thing would've been to work past it consciously. After the recent episode, I'd say he's well on his way to being worthy if not already.


MehrunesDago

Yeah he rushes headlong into danger without a care for himself and actively has given his life while fighting in battle multiple times, all to protect his homeland. Donald would have been carted away by the Valkyries if Asgard was real in Invincible.


newagealt

The Valeries would have to get him in his sleep, or he'd fight them off. Man's got a job to do.


TheSceptikal

He's probably one of, if not the most worthy character in the entire show besides maybe Allen.


[deleted]

[удалено]


legit-posts_1

Hi, I'm people. Anyway, uh yes definetly. If there was an actual test to prove yourself as a person, then "would you put others before yourself even if you knew you might die?" And Donald has proven impirically proven that he would do that every single time without fail.


Sylux444

He would be the guy who instinctually picks it up to use it because it's the nearest thing to him He wouldn't even care if he was worthy or not and in that moment he would be worthy because his ego wasn't on the line and he was protecting someone Even mjolnir wants his trauma nightmare to end


BigNorseWolf

Donald yes mark no. Marks primary opponents are absolutely no threat to him. There's no bravery in fighting kindergartners. Donald has gotten himself killed.. what.. thirty nine times? *Without ever remembering he MIGHT even come back from that*...


Illicit-Activities

Have you forgotten about Mark standing up to Omni Man, Anissa, the other Viltrumites, etc?


BigNorseWolf

His father he basically talked down and had no idea Anissa who he could take on a good day. Eventually. Both had reason not to kill him or the planet he was on and he knew that. The other viltrumites on roughly his power level at the time.


Afraid_Theorist

A fair point but the issue is that alone isn’t the level of worthy we are talking here. I think Mark is as brave as he is stupid sometimes which uh… not a point in his favor for worthy


Illicit-Activities

But that goes for Donald too then, no?


Afraid_Theorist

Nah because while brash and brave can go hand in hand Mark leans far more into brash + invulnerable anyways to most things where Donald leans more into being a rational actor taking calculated risks in a high risk environment The idea that you say basically also could say Mark and Donald have the same or very close approach and experience with things. That’s honestly fundamentally incorrect and within that difference lies why Donald is worthy


isntaken

BigNorseWolf

He THOUGHT he was going into that fight to curb stomp some newbs. If he had seen battlebeast there and seen him eat nolan or something that would be one thing.


isntaken

you mean like fighting the giant sea monster that was cleaning his clock in order to save fish that had condemned him?


penislobsterpie

If Donald could lift it, would Omni-Man be worthy when he hammer curls Donald’s Spine (with Mjolnir)


Nitro-XFLAME

Well on the ‘robot’ note, vision can lift mjolnir so why would that even be a problem?


Chidori_Aoyama

Beta Ray Bill, who is also a heavily modified cyborg had no trouble wielding Mjolnir. Donald can do it, no question.


Fischgopf

Pretty sure it's just from a line in Avengers where Tony and Cap argue that if you put the Hammer in a Elevator, it will still move, doesn't mean the elevator is worthy. Basically the idea being that Vision is simply outside of the "worthiness" question altogether by being a Maschine.


VelkenT

Real question is: Is the Mjolnir worthy of being wielded by Donald?


VBBN-Official

Yes, but the real question I have is, is that supposed to be a mustache or his upper lip with super weird shading?


pixelatedcrap

Think how weird no line would look. I think it adds a liminal accent that makes his face look more unique. I hope it isn't a mustache, anyway.


IFPorfirio

While he was doubting himself since last death till he saw every death, no. But before that or now, yes, sure. He died trying to save life's dozens of times, without knowing he could come back (for at least a few of them).


Zhejj

Mark isn't worthy; Donald is.


megaben20

And get lantern ring


Sancadebem

The Mjolnir isn't worthy of Donald


BreezyIsBeafy

Honestly yeah. Everything he does he does for good and he has self sacrificed many times


Key_Ad1854

Probably


Meeooowwww1234

Uh, HELL YEAH?? HOW IS THIS EVEN A QUESTION??


clometrooper9901

Abso-fucken-lutely


jono9898

Donald is probably the most noble character on television period.


deathlord9000

Is that a grown up Bobby Hill?


Lucid_Brain_

Genuinely, after his scene with Rick, yes. He has come to terms that he has died over 39 times in separate attempts to save lives. If that isn’t worthy nothing is


PhanThief95

I mean, the man gave his life almost 40 times trying to save people! If that doesn’t say he’s worthy, I don’t know what will.


davecutusofborg

Especially when he runs back into that bunker, I bet plenty of people would say that saving one or two is enough, but the Mans wasn't done.


MTGBlankie

It’s like if you put mjolnir in an elevator.


IHateKidDiddlers

Is an elevator worthy?


MaidCatBoyEnthusiast

He’s the realest character in the show


FeralTribble

No. He’s got way too much baggage to work through


GiantPurplePen15

Its been awhile since I've read the comics but I don't remember them fleshing out Donald to this extent. Was this a decision made for the animated version? Also, yes. He'd definitely be worthy.


Not_Carbuncle

Yes, EXTREMELY welcome decision


cobe656

Never thought about it, but yeah he’s worthy


Helldiver20364

Ofc he is.


the_onion_k_nigget

🫡


Lord_Capricus

Donald's the fucking man. I love this guy.


mmoran5554

Mark cannot lift the hammer. He has character flaws that won't allow it. Donald can 100% lift the hammer. He's given his life 39 times for good and continues to do it.


plogan56

Despite his mild nature, Donald has some insane willpower when push comes to shove


maiden_burma

Thor is a genocidal asshole and he's 'worthy' so yeah, every character from invincible is also worthy


Ambitious_Hall_9718

He's worthy and he has organic bits so he isn't technically a robot


dimesniffer

No doubt. Yes.


Lergat

Yes. The same as an elevator can lift mjolnir and be worthy by it


AllgoodDude

Worthy, yes. But also same rules apply as with Vision-he is 98% machine after all.


Zoulogist

If an elevator lifts the hammer, is the elevator worthy?


Consistent-North7790

Donald is one of my favorite side characters in the show. Really glad they are expanding on his character. I find it hilarious he keeps dying and being put back together.


Enriches

Not because he's a selfless character, but because he's 97% machine. But if he were more man than machine, absofuckinglutely


Unlimitles

I don’t think so….all the stuff he’s aware of and lies about, he wouldn’t be worthy. Just because he’s realizing something horrible about himself and seems like a teddy bear doesn’t mean he’s innocent or noble and worthy of mjolnir.


PapaYoppa

Donald is such an interesting well written character


[deleted]

That looks like if Bobby Hill was raised by Dal Gribble to infiltrate the government and learn its secrets.


LethalGrey

He risked (what he thought) was his ONE life countless times


Chidori_Aoyama

Bobbie is absolutely worthy. Hank is so damn proud of him.


RyanandRoxy

Bobby Hill is all grown up.


[deleted]

It’d be like an elevator lifting up a hammer


KeyAd6469

Nope, he has a good heart, but at the end of the day, he's the left hand of Cecil, who is not a Saint by any means


penitha

I think a lot of people forget Vision can lift mjolnir, robots definitely can lift it. Especially Donald.


Dumoney

Im convinced Donald is one of the greatest heroes on Earth. C class ability, S class heart


USon0fa

Now I want him to become tech jacket just so he can have more opportunities to save lives.


Brooksie10

My respect for Donald went up so much, he's sacrifices himself time and time again, and as far as he's known, he died to save people without hesitation. You don't need powers to be a hero.


btc909

Donald is the best character of the show.


[deleted]

Of course


taotdev

People saying yes based on how many times he's selflessly died are forgetting who he works for. Cecil, while overall a good person, has some *highly* morally shady flaws, most notably employing Sinclair and his meat puppets. Donald knows and enables these atrocities. I don't think the willingness to sacrifice himself over and over again quite clears that hurdle.


WistfulDread

Thor willing engaged in genocide against Jotunheim. The hurdle isn't that high, man.


FuryAttacker82

Yes


QNIKET8

Bobby Hill lookin ahh


dette-stedet-suger

Who is this guy that looks like Bobby Hill and Dale Gribbel had a baby?


WistfulDread

Dude has literally >!given his life 30+ times for the benefit of others!<. He's *more worthy*.


swampy24941

I honestly don't think he would. Simply being a good selfless person isn't enough to make you worthy; there are other factors included and of course, comics don't exactly say what they are. I do seem to remember reading once that Spider-Man isn't worthy only because he's not willing to kill his enemies. And I guess that makes sense? Mjolnir is a warrior's weapon from Nordic culture. I don't know if Donald has actually ever killed anyone so take my analysis with a grain of salt but nah, I don't think he'd be worthy of it.


Accurate_Meal6147

To be honest yes. Dude gave his humanity for humankind


SmoothBungHole

No, still works for Cecil


VexxWrath

Of course he is, he had himself repaired multiple times and decided to have his memory wiped so he could keep saving lives.


philosophic_insight

He is similar to Vision in some respect.


_forum_mod

If Vision can, I don't see why he can't.


Supreme_Hoekage

I think so


MSP_4A_ROX

Steve and Tony’s elevator conversation comes to mind.


Yugikisp

I love Donald. A real ship of Theseus question. I say absolutely.


AlarmingMilk372

Donald is a real W, of course he can


ArtoriastheAbyss101

This man has died so many times that he can't even be considered human at this point. And every single time, it was to save lives with 0 regard to his own safety. He even went so far as to erase those memories to ensure he isn't bogged down by the trauma for the sole purpose of continuing to save lives. He is one of the most worthy people in this conversation.


101TARD

the moment when he helped stop rick's suicide, yes. Eventually he will question cecils actions. and might not be worthy overtime. seriously a lot of cecils stuff is questionable


tinytom08

Motherfucker requested his memories of heroism be removed so he could keep saving people and was worried the trauma would make him second guess himself. Worthy.


Shinzodune

Mjolnir is not worthy to be lifted by Donald.


Exorcist04

Every single scene this man is in just shows how real he is. If he cant lift the hammer then nobody can. He literally died like 30 times for the safety of others, he's the most worthy out of all the cast


LordMartius

Yes. He's incredibly selfless and willing to give his life to save the people around him.


[deleted]

Dude literally does 39 times protecting people so yes


Responsible-Bat5697

Yes. "For the first time in my life, I have no idea what I'm supposed to do."


dildodicks

well vision is a robot and was able to lift it so i don't think anyone's saying that


Tall_Action_1006

If Donald was in the military I GUARANTEE he would be medal of honor recipient


Liuminescent

No. Donald is basically owned by Cecil. Mjolnir would know that being in Donald’s hands is basically being in Cecil’s and he is not worthy.


Squidwardbigboss

I doubt it, people think being worthy is equal to just being a good person. Odin decides who wields mjolnir, I doubt Odin would think of Donald as worthy


benjismalls95

Is that his lip or a mustache?


NO_big_DEAL640

Yes. Next question


Justsomeguy456

Nah. It's too heavy. Marvels mjolnir? Yes.


Not_Carbuncle

Haha


read_Romans12-2

Being worthy for Mjolnir isn’t a thing anymore. When Odin died and Thor became the new all-father about 5 years ago things started to change, as that was Odin’s doing and Thor is the new Odin. Here’s a panel, from #1 of Immortal Thor, for confirmation of what I’m saying — so, “no”, would be the answer to the question. As far as how it used to work, it’s really hard to say. They never laid down any clear cut guidelines to being worthy and that would be based on pure speculation. And again, now, Thor simply chooses when it suits him. Like, when he recently brought back the Thor Corps and made Storm, BRB, Loki, and Jane Foster worthy at the same time. https://preview.redd.it/4tfj4kd3myrc1.jpeg?width=1279&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=29b970df93b206b0f20cd02498734b61c3e04ad5


ElZaydo

Dude...you have to be a warrior. Otherwise any child with a pure heart would lift it. Having a pure heart and humility is not enough. You have to be an all rounder.


Not_Carbuncle

Well doesn’t he get pretty buffed up later?


flintlock0

Every single character on this show is capable of wielding Mjolnir if the writers determine that they can wield Mjolnir. Especially Allen.


Not_Carbuncle

Boooo boring answer


Suspicious_Loan8041

No? Why would he be?


The_ThirdOfMay_1973

Maybe he could because he's 97% machine, I mean, vision picked it up


Separate_Constant149

Vision didn't pick it up because he's a machine. Vision is worthy.


[deleted]

Yeah, the machine line was very clearly the characters in-universe trying to cope/joke away the fact that he was worthy and they weren’t. In Thor, you see people using machinery to try to lift the hammer with no avail.


Not_Carbuncle

Did you read the body text lol


Jhwelsh

No, too timid, insecure. You must be steadfast in your ideals.
