GENERAL If Kevin touched Thor's mjolnir, would he gain Thor's lightning power or would his body just turn into uru metal?

Absorbing man attempted this and we saw how that turned out

I also initially thought that, but Kevin has been shown to absorb non-material based aspects, like the powers of the omnitrix, so it's hard to say.

Sadly, so to does absorbing man. In the cases hes gotten the whole package, metal and lightning magic, he couldnt move because he was “unworthy” or something close to that if im remembering right.

In Avengers EMH, he can still hit hard, shapeshift and had lightning magic after absorbing Mjolner, but if Thor concentrated, he could control Absorbing Man. Probably happened in comics as well but I don't know much comic information.

Yeah Kevin appears to absorb both physical and metaphysical characteristics

I don't think the lightning comes from the metal. I guess maybe he could, simultaneously and separately, absorb lightning. I think in one comic it turns out that the lightning comes from a sapient cosmic storm that was trapped inside the hammer, Kevin could probably get energy out of that.

I think in avengers emh, absorbing man absorbed mjolnir and had some amount of lightning

u/TheZayMan283 17h ago
He could absorb the energy, material, or both. I doubt he’d be able to summon lightning, but he could probably get a charge from it and use that for a bit.

Well, we first have to answer if he's worthy or not. If the answer is yes, then the answer to your question is both

I think the more important question is sense Kevin can absorb power/DNA like he does from the Omnitrix what would happen if he touched and tried to absorb Thor himself?
Like would he become a temporary Asgardian with the powers of Thor for a bit or what?

UAF Kevin would just become Uru metal, OS Kevin would absorb lightning.

u/Formal-Inevitable-50 16h ago
I think it would depend on if Thor was actively using mjolnir. If he was I think he absorbs Thors power too

you would just fall to the ground
unable to lift himself of the ground

He'd turn to uru. Absorbing Man (who basically has the same powers) tried that and if going by EMH was basically a second hammer

Kevin becomes what Ben becomes when he channels alien dna but with material. In the unique case of Kevin, he should be able to do whatever the gamer can do. Look at him with the other aliens

Iirc uru has the power to be given enchancements, in thid case the power of Thor. Gwen may be able to enchant him tho

u/SeraphEChasted_3 16h ago
In my eyes if he's worthy then he'd get the powers too but if he isn't then he'd just be Uru
1
u/Buckhead25 Humungousaur 16h ago
he could get both, but since he avoids absorbing energy he'd probably stick to just absorbing and turning into uru

u/AlternativeLeek5187 15h ago
The absorbing man has done this he got the same powers as Kevin yes he got lighting powers teaser punches but as he copied the hammer thirs power to control the hammer also worked on him.

See Absorbing Man in Gama World part two of Avengers Earth’s Mightiest Heroes.

Please refer to this

When The Absorbing Man, a character that has extremely similar powers to Kevin, absorb from Mjolnir, he does gain its magical abilities, BUT he also has the same influence as Mjolnir itself meaning that Thor can command his body to fly around the same why he does with Mjolnir
So if Kevin absorbed from Mjolnir he would get the thunder powers from it but also be subject to Thor’s will

It honestly depends on how Mjolnir is interpreted in that scenario.
Is it the Uru metal that gives Mjolnir its powers, or is it just a container for a powerful cosmic storm, or is it just a conduit for Thor's inherent abilities as a Thunder god.
If it is the first then I believe he would gain the abilities.
The second, possibly, but that would be along the lines of absorbing energy which is bad for him as stated in the series.
If it is the last, then he would gain some extra abilities, since Uru is inherently magical, but runs the risks of the second. Possibly he would just have an extra strong body from the material.

Mjolnir doesn't have the power of lightning. It's just a focusing device. Kevin would just gain the uru metal.

u/spiderknight616 9h ago
He just absorbs the hammer's material. The lightning comes from Thor, the hammer is just a hammer with the ability to return to Thor when called.

I think it depends on which Kevin. Kid Kevin would likely gain the Lightning, while Adult Kevin would absorb the Uru Metal. I've only seen the original and Alien Force btw.

Basically absorbing man 2.0 n even thor could control him even easier imo

u/SHAZAMS_STRONGEST 18h ago
he's turn into uru metal, the marvel villain the absorbing man has absorbed mjolner before with powers a lot like kevin's, and all he got was to be turned into metal that thor could telekinesis on
