marvel - Why doesn't Mjolnir give Captain America Thor-like armor?


Throughout Marvel's comic history, many characters have lifted Mjolnir, and most appear to gain some Thor-like armor when they do. Cases in point:


Storm (yes, I know this image is technically Stormcaster) Goddess of thunder


Beta Ray Bill Da Bill


Jane Foster As an aside, Jane is such a cool character


Rogue


No touchy


One notable exception to this is Captain America. When he lifts Mjolnir, his outfit remains unchanged:


Kinda lackluster, don't you think?


Has there ever been any reason given as to why Captain America doesn't get Thor-like armor in this scenario?



Also...



The impetus of this question is Endgame, obviously, and while I would be okay with an answer from the Russo brothers in context of the MCU, I'm primarily interested in the comic side of things.
