PNQ: What Star Trek characters do you think would be worthy of holding Mjolnir?
Needlemouse uses the nine virtues of Odinism as a guideline: Courage, Truth, Honor, Fidelity (not just to a romantic partner, but to an ideal or mission), Discipline, Hospitality, Self-Reliance, Industriousness, and Perseverence.
In a general sense I think most Starfleet officers would qualify, but if you increase the level of virtue required you get some interesting thought experiments.
Obvious people who wouldn't qualify:
Any Ferengi. Duh.
A lot of Vulcans, they'd have trouble with Fidelity and Hospitality. And Courage in its truest sense.
Most Romulans and Cardassians. They put too much faith in the state, I think Truth and Honor would be big problems.
