    Place your bets now for MARVEL's "Fear Itself" Arc, and answer "Who will be the eight most worthy on the planet?"
     
    I'll start with my 8:
     
    (first the 5 logical moral compasses)
      Thor
      Steve Rogers (as Cap)
      Spider-Man
      Black Panther (T'Challa)
      Invisible Woman
    (and the 3 twists...)
      Magneto
      Jean Grey
      Squirrel Girl
     
    What are yours?

    Fear Itself! :) Supposedly the Marvel universe is about to be attacked by a god of fear in next year's main story arc, and only 8 will be deemed worthy... which everyone is guessing worthy to punch the god of fear in the face. or something like that. :) I'm just curious to see who thinks who is "worthy" out there in the current state of things.That's all.

    This is Fraction. No way is Iron Man not one of the eight.

    The obvious contenders are Iron Man, Thor, Captain America, and Spider-Man. From the teasers I would guess both Cyclops and the Hulk may be among them as well. I could see either Storm and/or Black Panther there too, and someone from the FF.

    We don't know the parameters of "worthiness" yet.  It may be as ambiguous as the inscription on Mjöllnir.

    I feel that, this makes the hammer(s) worthless with everyone and their grandmother in possible contention as a Hammer wielder.

    He brought 8 other Serpent Hammers to Earth and these hammers will probably choose a worthy owner ( whether it 'd be a superhero or supervillain doesn't seem to matter a lot ) and power-boost + corrupt the owners into becoming the God of Fear's evil avatars.

    This statement makes no sense. If the serpent sent the hammers so that it's wielders become avatars of fear, why should Daredevil be considered one of the worthy if he is like you said, "The man without any fear"?

    Avatars of Fear
    The Worthy: The Absorbing Man
    The Worthy: The Absorbing Man

    The Worthy: Grey Gargoyle
    The Worthy: Grey Gargoyle

    The Worthy: Titania

    The Worthy: Juggernaut
    The Worthy: Juggernaut

    The Worthy: Attuma

    The Worthy: Hulk

    The Worthy: The Thing

    The Thing looks pretty scary. Scarier than any of the other ones.

    Aren't there 9 Worthy? so far there is 1.Sin (Red Skull's girl) 2.The Hulk, 3.Thing, 4.Titania (random) 5.Absorbing Man (history with Asgard), 6.Attuma (random), 7. Juggernaut 8. Grey Gargoyle (also random). But I'm pretty sure I read or saw there are actually 9 hammers.
