while it is true that those two can pick up Mjolnir and it is currently said to weigh only 42 pounds (but how much Marvel says it weighs changes a lot, so take that as you will), the only reasion they can lift it is because the story deams them as worthy, and that is not always the case (sometimes they can lift it, other times they cannot).

actually, Superman is not worthy (he was only able to lift the hammer because Odin allowed it, after the battle was over Superman tried to hand Thor the hammer back but was unable to do, a little fact that is commonley overlooked by Superman supporters) but Wonder Woman was able to lift the hammer, but both of those are from crossovers which have questionable canonicity as it is, especially in Marvel where it seams as though both crossovers have been retconned out.

people cannot weild the hammer on speculation alone, as the requirements for weilding the Mjolnir are only known to Odin (and possibly Gia, Thors real mother), and it is rather inconcistant as to what makes one worthy if you try to find out anyway.
