Curious why Captain Americas appearance doesnt change when he holds Mjolnir? 0

[Artboy99]

"whosoever holds this hammer, if he be worthy, shall possess the power of Thor".

When Beta Ray Bill or Jane Foster hold the hammer they change appearance and wear a costume similar to Thor.

Yet when Captain America wields Mjolnir he doesnt change costumes.

Anyone have an explanation why?

He already has a costume? 

[faster friends]

Vision doesn’t change when he holds it either.

Perhaps they don't "activate" it? I'm not too familiar

Mjolnir: "I can't top this!"

Because one blonde haired blue eyed Thunder God is enough.

I agree completely, unfortunately comics dont work that way.

Captain America’s costume is already vastly superior and therefore cannot be improved further

in theory Jane Foster is wearing a "costume" (her street clothes) when she wields Mjolnir.

this implies Mjolnir has decision making capability and decides who wears Thor-like garb.

This gets complicated when you bring up Thor’s history - specifically with Donald Blake’s transformation which I believe was later retconned

I had always assumed the other two were assuming the mantle of Thor-hood, whereas Cap was simply worthy enough to life it and did so at a time while Thor was still in his role as the Thunder God. But without rereading a lot of books I last read long ago, I have no idea whether this logic bears out.

This echoes my thoughts on the matter.

I like this explanation, but Beta Ray Bill changed and was adorned in Thor-hood while Thor was still Thor.

I haven't been keeping up with Thor the last few decades. I thought you had to bang your walking stick on the ground to change into Thor, and the stick changed into Mjolnir.

I thought Cap was able to pick it up because he is deemed "worthy" (by whatever force makes those decisions) without actually becoming Thor.

I remember that too, but I cannot remember why. It has been too long since I read 337-339 -- like since buying them off the racks! I don't even have those books anymore.

He has "the power of Thor". As we've seen - Thor uses Mjolnir and its lightning to craft his battle uniform.

Cap ain't Thor. He don't wanna be Thor. Cap gonna Cap.
