    Technically, Angel is a time-displaced teenage Worthington who (in the Marvel comics) is allowed to co-exist with the adult version (Archangel) in the canon. 

    So having them on the same team is allowed, while highly questionable as a strategy.

    Sure, but you can make the same argument about other characters.  Hope and Janet both appeared in MCU films together with no indication that Janet has lost her Wasp powers.  The Blaze and Reyes Ghost Riders have teamed up in comics.  Bruce Banner regained his Hulk powers before Cho switched from Hulk to Brawn.  If you can't play the two Thors together because of Mjolnir, why can you construct a team of three characters all holding Captain America's shield? If you treat it purely as a lore issue, then it's a huge mess.
    The only thing that makes sense is that (a) at a technical level the exclusion system works by matching the character's primary name, and (b) Marvel wanted certain characters to have certain primary names irrespective of how it affects that system.
    GladiaThor doesn't even have Mjolnir and yet is locked out with Jane...
    No Mjolnir, no Jane...  ;) 
    She could borrow Stormbreaker!
    The hammer does not automatically make you Thor. You need to be worthy to even wield it, but to harness the power of Thor means you get to rule Asgard, very different things. Steve can wield the hammer, but does not turn into Thor. With Stormbreaker, he is still Odinson, but not technically Thor. Then that all falls apart in secret wars, but hey, comics!
    Is it wrong that I read this in Comic Book Guy's voice?
