Marvel fans know Captain Marvel is one of the strongest Avengers (if not one of the strongest superheroes in the Marvel Universe proper) - so much so that she's one of the very few characters who can lift Thor's hammer Mjolnir without being worthy.
This didn't come as a surprise to Marvel comic fans, since Cap has proved on multiple occasions to be worthy of the power of the God of Thunder, as he's perhaps the most famous hero who is worthy of Mjolnir who isn't Thor himself.
Captain America has proven he is worthy of wielding Thor's hammer, Mjolnir, in pivotal moments throughout Marvel comics and the MCU. The explanation of worthiness for Mjolnir has evolved over time, with specific criteria outlined in Thor #15 for wielding the iconic hammer.

Can Loki lift Mjolnir?
Loki is confirmed to be worthy of lifting Thor's hammer, Mjolnir, for the first time in official Marvel canon. In The Immortal Thor #5, Loki confidently catches and wields the hammer, showcasing his growth and heroism.
It's important to note that the rules around worthiness had been temporarily suspended to allow this to happen. As soon as the fight was over, Superman couldn't lift the hammer anymore. However, under normal circumstances, without any weird interference, Superman is worthy of Mjolnir.
In the end, Deadpool wasn't worthy. While he seemingly had control of Mjolnir and the strength of Thor, it was all a mirage put on by Loki to distract Thor.
The simple answer is no. Yes, Hulk absolutely smashes Thor to the ground with Mjolnir, but, he's holding both Thor and the hammer. Hulk wouldn't have been able to lift Mjolnir by himself, but since the God of Thunder had a firm grip on it as well, he was able to use it as a weapon against his teammate.
Although Kratos never gets to wield the hammer, given his own extraordinary godly strength that slightly surpassed even that of Thor and even being able to hold Mjolnir back with his bare hands when Thor threw it at him, it's very likely that Kratos would be fully capable of using the hammer if he wanted to.
Mjolnir is not particularly heavy, it weighs 42.3 lbs. The fact that almost no one except Thor can lift the hammer has nothing to do with it's physical weight. The hammer is enchanted so that only those deemed 'worthy' are able to wield it.
Clearly, Thanos is aware he wouldn't be able to lift it. Although it's hard to pinpoint what exactly makes someone worthy of using Mjolnir, as it's ultimately determined by Odin, who placed the enchantment on the hammer, some believe one's worthiness is measured by traits like courage, honor, and selflessness.
Thor's hammer Mjolnir was defined by the fact that only the 'worthy' could lift it – so basically no-one except the god of thunder (and Vision, for some reason). But when it comes to the weapon's replacement, Stormbreaker – which Thor forges in Avengers: Infinity War – Groot is able to lift it too.
Captain Marvel did indeed defeat Thor, but only a hammer-less Thor. So the answer seems to be: Thor-with-hammer defeats Captain Marvel; Thor-without-hammer loses to Captain Marvel.
And not only that, their mission is noble enough that it's earned the loyalty of Mjolnir. While it is still Thor's hammer, it won't hurt one of the Panther Kings. It's even revealed that in the past, the first Black Panther actually once wielded the hammer himself, using it in unseen battle to protect the world.
Thanos and Hulk have clashed several times in Marvel lore, with Thanos even admitting he was scared to face the Hulk before acquiring the Infinity Stones. While Thanos is usually the victor, it's generally down to him using superior tactics and technology, rather than simply possessing greater physical strength.
Becoming worthy to lift Mjolnir is no easy task, as very few in the MCU have been able to do it. Besides Thor, the only characters who have lifted Mjolnir so far are Odin, Hela, Captain America, and the original Vision -- plus a surprisingly sturdy coat hook in Thor: The Dark World.
After bashing Thor with an entire stone pillar, Juggernaut managed to separate Thor from his hammer – but was unable to lift it as a selfish brute like him was unworthy of its power.
Among those who lifted Mjolnir include everyone from Deadpool, to Rogue, to Captain America, to even Wonder Woman and Superman. However, Venom's symbiote once got in on the action and took over Thor's body and used the hammer to fight off the Avengers with a powerful blast.
Thor has his mighty hammer, Mjolnir, but those who are NOT worthy have certainly lifted the hammer before. Here are a few. Only those who are worthy may lift Mjolnir, the mighty hammer of Thor, God of Thunder. However, worth has little to do with actual morality.
Of course. Superman has immeasurable power, enough to break a hammer like Mjolnir. Let's look at some of the amazing things The Man Of Steel has accomplished in the comics.
As the God of Thunder, he can control and manipulate magical bolts of lightning and other weather conditions. While these abilities are nothing to sneeze at for any opponent, Thor's lightning powers could prove to be especially effective against Superman.
Superman could wield Mjolnir because he is, at his core, one of the purest heroes in the DC universe. In fact, Superman has wielded Thor's hammer before.
