MEMORIES OF BATTLE

In the North was the village of Froja which lay at the start of Regin’s Fjord. The great Ironwood Forest, ancient
home to giants and ice trolls, stretched over the hills beyond. The sky above was cloudy and gray, with snows
that were ready to fall even in the warmest summers. This was a harsh country, from which few men could
survive and even fewer could thrive.

In the smithy of Froja, the blacksmith Torvard used tong and hammer to forge the last sword of the day. Sweat
streaked Thorvard’s brow. His blond hair was tied back to keep it from the flames. It lay plastered to his
muscled back as his mighty arm rose and fell with each stroke of iron.

The sword would be taken by the warriors for the coming battle. Raiders had been spotted along the coast and
the Headman needed all able-bodied men to hunt them down. Torvard choked down bitterness, thinking of the
glory they would win---a glory that could never be his.

He wiped a stray lock from his eyes and threw himself into his work. The hammer was an extension of his arm.
It rang against the red-hot metal. Sparks flew. The anvil boomed. Again and again, a tireless rhythm.

The sound filled his ears, washing over his anger with something. . .else. A memory flitted at the edge of his
mind. A battle. Lightning and thunder. His enemies driven before him. The weapon in his hand was no sword, it
was a---

His stroke faltered. The hammer skittered off the edge of the blade. Torvard shook his head, as if awakening
from a dream he could not quite remember.

He lifted the blade with the tongs and crused. He had hit the blade so hard, he had bent it across the anvil. The
weapon was ruined.

Atala’s sweet voice cut through his thoughts. “Trouble, my love?”

A vision of beauty, in the smoky room. Her golden hair caught the light as it fell about her rough woolen shawl.
In her hands was a woven basket filled with coarse bread, salted fish, and a leather drinking horn filled with
mead.

Torvard threw the bent sword into a pile of scrap.

“Ruined,” he said.

“The dreams again?”

Torvard nodded. “Battles fought. Men dying. A light in the sky, with all the colors of the earth. A raven’s eye.”

Atala looked troubled. He dared not tell her of the woman, slight of build and dark of hair. Nor how this woman
called to his heart. A dream to be sure, but women could be quick to sadness or anger. He never wanted to
cause Atala pain.

Atala took his rough, scarred hands in her slender ones. Her grip was so firm and warm that he felt guilty his
love was divided, even in a dream.

“Those are not memories, my love. You are the greatest smith in all the realm. You have never seen battle.
The Headman could not afford to lose you.”

3
“You are right,” Torvard said with a sigh.

And so she must be. But there were words she left unspoken. That he could not be trusted to go raiding with
the other men because his mind was broken.

He was told he had been out gathering firewood before the storm when the lightning struck. He remembered a
flash of light, nothing more. His memories had been scattered to the wind. His father, mother, sisters…brother?
All just faceless images that danced through his brain.

Now, whenever storm clouds gathered, and thunder rumbled in the sky, he felt a tingling sensation run through
his entire body. Some said he should be honored to have been touched by the gods. He believed he had been
cursed.

Atala’s light laughter dispelled his gloom. “Of course I’m right,” she said.

Then she was in his arms and the rest of his uncertainty fled. The forge burned out and went cold, and yet still
they warmed the room with the heat of their love. Afterwards, Torvard slept.

And again, dreamed of battles fought.

***

The main lodge of Froja was full of life. Food and drink made the rounds as the men boasted of past raids and
the battles to come. They were to set sail for the Headman’s hall in the morning.

Grimdol would lead the war party. He was a warrior of great renown, tall of height, broad of shoulder with a
black beard, forked and braided. The victor of many battles.

He hated Torvard---Torvard knew not why.

Grimdol raised his drinking horn. “This year, we have been promised great treasure. Our enemies fight
amongst themselves. Their king is lost. Their kingdom is in ruins. Now is the time to win great glory!”

The men cheered, banged their fists against the table and stomped their feet on the bare earth floor.

Grimdol, gulped down a great draught, then wiped at his beard. His gaze fell on Torvard.

“You are quiet this night, blacksmith. What say you of the battles to come?”

Torvard downed his drinking horn, unwilling to meet Grimdol’s gaze. Beside him, he felt Atala tense.

“I say men fight. Men die. It is the way of things.”

“Aye,” Grimdol said. “It is the way of things. For men. True men. Tell me, Torvard. What will you be doing while
the men fight and die? Or shall I say, ‘who’ will you be doing?”

4
“Grimdol---" Atala hissed. Her glare was like daggers.

“I see you are quick to come to his defense, Atala. That is good. One such as he needs a strong protector.”

Torvard stood, fists clenched. Grimdol rose to meet him. Torvard could feel the eagerness and tension in the
air, but was surprisingly unafraid.

“I need no protection---from man or woman,” he said.

Grimdol laughed. “Bold words. The words of a warrior, yet spoken by one has never known battle. Do you think
your might is as great as mine?”

“Grimdol, stop!” Atala interposed herself between them. “Torvard, let us take our leave.”

Torvard ignored her. A blood rage boiled within him and spilled into his eyes. This was not the first time he had
been goaded, but he had had enough. Grimdol appeared smug.

“I say again, Torvard. Do you dare think your might is as great as mine?”

“Nay, greater.”

Mutters of surprised rippled through the hall. Grimdol laughed. He grinned at Atala and it was then that Torvard
knew why the big warrior hated him so. He wanted her for himself.

“The challenge is accepted,” Grimdol said. “We shall settle this here and now.”

“No!” Atala said, but they ignored her.

Grimdol sneered. “What weapon do you choose, blacksmith? You have no sword. No axe. No spear.”

Torvard spread his arms. “I come as I am.”

“A test of strength, then. So be it.”

Grimdol stripped naked to the waist. Torvard did the same. The men had cleared a space by the fire. Torvard
would not look at Atala who stood to the side, wringing her hands. For good or ill, he would not be deterred.

“The first to be thrown,” Grimdol said. “The first man to take a knee. Or the first man to cry out in pain shall
admit he is the lesser. Agreed?”

Torvard nodded. “Agreed.”

“Let it be so,” Grimdol said to the gathered crowd. Then it was time.

The two men circled each other warily. Grimdol boldly entered for the head and arm clinch. Torvard mirrored
his grips. The two pushed and pulled, each trying to throw the other off balance.

Torvard had never wrestled another before---at least he could not remember doing so. And yet, he shifted his
weight, he stepped close, he could not be thrown. And slowly he realized that he was stronger than Grimdol.
Much stronger.

5
Grimdol realized it too. Torvard saw fear flicker across his face. Grimdol snatched Torvard’s head down and
tried to gouge his eye with a thumb, but he tucked his chin to avoid injury. It was a dirty trick that would have
left Torvard blind in one eye.

Rage flared within him. He drove his weight forward, pressing Grimdol toward the floor. Grimdol struggled
against him, but Torvard’s strength was too great. His legs bent, his knees hit the floor.

A ragged cheer filled the hall. Grimdol was not well loved. His eyes were filled with murder. He spat in
Torvard’s face.

That was too much. Torvard lifted Grimdol high overhead and slammed him to the floor with the sound of a
thunderclap. Torvard stood there a moment, gazing down at his broken foe, then turned and walked from the
now-silent hall.

An owl lay dead in the snow. It was a bad omen.

***

Torvard spent the night in the wilderness. Again, he dreamed of battle. This time he was at the head of an
army of Light. The legions of Darkness fell before him. The stars above cheered his victory.

In the morning, all of Froja turned out to see the men off. Torvard watched from a hill overlooking the fjord.
Where before there had been joy and excitement before, now there was only quiet gloom. Their greatest
warrior had been laid low.

The men boarded the raiding vessels---three long sleek ships with square sails, oar banks, and dragon headed
prows. They moved across the water like wraiths. Torvard watched until they disappeared into the Great North
Sea before heading back down to the village.

He did not see Atala, but he knew her haunts. This early in the morning he would find her at her favorite spring,
near a stream which fed into the fjord. It was a quiet place that only they shared.

As he topped the rise, he stopped. His skin tingled and the hair on the back of his neck stood on end.

Atala knelt by the stream, staring into its depths, but she was not alone. Beneath the water, a dark,
otherworldly shape lingered. It could be only one thing. A troll!

Atala did not recognize her danger. He must save her!

Torvard picked up a stone and cried out to her as he scrambled down the rocks. Atala rose swiftly and turned
towards him with a look of surprise. The water began to bubble and from it came a mass of teeth and scales
and a growl so deep that it shook Torvard to his very bones.

Then he stumbled and fell, tumbling down the hill head over foot. His vision blurred---and suddenly he was
struggling against cool, soothing hands upon his brow.

“Easy, my love,” Atala said. “Easy.”

6
He sat straight up in his bed of furs. “The troll!”

“Troll?” Atala said. :No, my love. There is no troll. We are home, safe and well.”

Torvard’s vision cleared and he saw that all was as she said.

“I. . .I. . .”

“There was no troll. You called to me from the rocks. Then you fell.”

Atala stared at him, concerned. Torvard frowned and silently cursed his broken mind. It all seemed silly now.

She smiled playfully. “Were you really going to save me from a troll? With a rock?”

“I thought you were in danger.”

“I was not. You are very brave. I was worried for you after what happened last night.”

“I had to clear my head. Grimdol?”

“His ribs are shattered, his skull cracked. He may never rise.”

Torvard thought about that for a moment, then said: “I am not sorry.”

“Nor should you be, my love.” She hugged his head to her breast and stroked his hair, soothingly. “The men
could only marvel at your great strength. I have never doubted it.”

****

He took refuge in the forge. There were tools to repair, nails to craft, spearheads and arrowheads that needed
replacing. He stoked the fires until he could no longer bear the heat. His hammer rose and fell like a ringing
bell, bringing with it broken memories of battles fought.

Hours passed before he took a break. He stepped outside into the cold to find Atala waiting for him with food
and drink. Even her radiant smile brought little comfort and failed to chase away his gloom.

Atala frowned. She took step toward him and then something changed. The ground trembled and the air
became bone chillingly cold. Torvard looked around. The other villagers felt it too. They piled out of their
homes, looking to one another in confusion.

“Boats in the water!” someone shouted and pointed.

Torvard looked to the fjord. Three ships. Square sails, dragon prows, but there was something odd about their
visage.

“The men return!” said another.

7
Torvard knew it was too soon for that.

And now Torvard realized what was wrong. A sheet of snow followed behind the ships and a chill wind blew
before them. The waters of the fjord froze as they approached. The boats skidded across the top of this ice,
carried along by their own momentum.

These were not just raiders. There were no men aboard these boats. They were frost trolls!

“We must away, my love!” Atala cried. “Quickly!”

The villagers screamed and scrambled about. The remaining men, the very old and the very young, gathered
weapons from their homes. The women took the little ones into the hills.

Torvard rushed into the smithy and found an old shield and hunting spear in need of repair. He thrust his
hammer into his belt.

Atala followed him inside. “What are you doing?”

“I must defend the village,” he said.

“No. you don’t understand. These are trolls, born and bred for battle. How can you fight them?”

“How can I not?” he said. “The women and children. I must buy them time to escape into the hills.”

“And what of me?”

Torvard blinked, surprised. “You must go with them.”

“I cannot leave you here. You will die.”

Torvard took her in his arms. “You are all that matters, my love. I would gladly give my life for yours. You must
go. I cannot bear the thought of losing you. And yet, I cannot flee while our people are in danger. It is not in me
to do that.”

Her eyes were wet and filled with sadness.

“I know,” she said at last.

“Good,” he said and hugged her close, perhaps for the last time.

“Now go,” he said, then stepped out into the cold.

The men had gathered on the banks before the docks, their faces grim. They knew death had come for them
this icy morning.

Torvard raised his spear aloft.

“To me men! To me! We must hold the line. Let them pay for every clawed step they take upon our land. Let
the ice run blue with their frozen blood! This day will be ours!”

8
Torvard sensed a glimmer of hope travel through them and took heart. He felt no fear or despair. Wasn’t he the
man who had bested the great Grimdol?

Then it was time. A wave of snow and ice washed over the docks. The ships ran aground, and ice trolls leapt
from the sides, swords and axes raised.

The defenders of Froja met them with a rain of arrows. Torvard’s throw buried his spear deep in the breast of a
great, white bearded troll as it lumbered towards him. It fell and did not get up.

Then the trolls reached the shore. Torvard uttered a war cry that was echoed by the defenders as they rushed
forward and met their foes in a vicious game of blood and iron. Swords clashed, axes hewed, and the death
cries of trolls and men filled the air.

Torvard was a giant among them, his forge’s hammer now a weapon of crushing doom. Bloodlust washed over
him. From whence it came, he knew not---he knew only the thrill of battle at last, and with every blow from his
hammer, an ice troll fell.

The troll’s line wavered and fell back towards the boats.

An explosion of white light knocked him down. He shook his head to clear it and staggered to his feet. The ice
trolls and the defenders of Froja lay unmoving on the ground around him. He could make no sense of it.

Then Atala was there. She took him by the arm and tried to drag him away.

“We must flee! Now!” The fear and urgency in her voice was clear.

“What happened?” he asked, but her attention was now drawn to the fjord. She released his arm and lowered
her gaze, shoulders slumped.

Torvard’s eyes took in what his mind could not comprehend. A man---a sorcerer---came towards them, drifting
on the wind. He worn a green coat and a golden helm with two strange horns protruding from the front. Black
of hair and pale skin.

The sorcerer touched down to earth in front of him. The smirk on his face tugged a Torvard’s memories. He
knew this man, if man he was.

Torvard pushed Atala protectively behind him and then picked up his hammer from the ground.

He swung it at the sorcerer’s head, but the man was no longer there. He saw him standing a few feet away,
that same infuriating smile on his face. Torvard lunged at him again, swing the hammer overhead, with the
same result.

The sorcerer snapped his fingers, and the hammer crumbled away to dust.

The sorcerer chuckled. “The weapon is always what made you. Without it, you are nothing.”

He turned to address Atala. “Niece,” he said.

“Uncle,” she replied, without meeting his gaze.

“Atala,” Torvard said. “You know this. . .man?”

9
“He is Loki,” she said.

The name meant nothing to him. Or did it?

“Who are you?” Torvard said. “What do you want here?”

Loki ignored him. “You were supposed to kill this drunken lout. Lure him away after a night of feasting and
plunge your dagger through his heart. Instead, you disappeared with him.”

“Things have changed.”

“Have they?” he asked.

“Atala,” Torvard said. “Is what he says true? I don’t understand. Were you sent to kill me?”

She threw herself to her knees and took his hand. “I was, my love. I beg your forgiveness. I was poisoned by
my uncle’s words. I thought you a monster. A killer. It was only after we’d met and talked that I realized.. . .”

“Realized what?” Torvard asked.

The sorcerer looked from one to the other. “Oh, you poor dear. You actually love him. I can’t say that I’m
surprised. The hair, the muscles, the smile. You would not be the first to succumb to his charms. Nor will you
be the last.”

“Atala. . .” Torvard said. He had no other words. The ache in his chest was suffocating. His heart was broken.

“He seems to have fallen in love with you as well,” Loki said. “The real question is, will he still love you once he
knows what you are? Once he remembers who he is?”

“Please,” Atala pleaded.

Loki shook his head. “Enough of this charade.”

He snapped his fingers and the icy air shimmered. Torvard saw the ground around them littered with dead frost
trolls. The raiders---and the young men who had staunchly defended the village. They were not men at all.

“All trolls?” Torvard said, incredulous.

“All,” Loki replied. “And more.”

Torvard looked down at Atala who was still on her knees before him. Her eyes glistened with tears that froze
instantly on her beautiful, blue-skinned cheeks. He withdrew his hand from her grasp and stepped back.

“Atala? A troll?”

“Troll-blooded,” Loki said. “My niece. One of them anyway. So skilled in the art of magic. Of course she would
be. I taught her myself.”

Loki shook his head, disappointed. “My dear, I had so many hopes for you.”

10
“Please. . .,” she said again.

“Please what? You created this world within a world, but you should have known that no place in Jotunheim
can remain hidden to me for me. Did you really think you could keep him from me? His fate is still in my hands.
There is only one fate left for you.”

Torvard gritted his teeth, looked around for a weapon. “I will not die so easily, sorcerer.”

Loki scoffed. “I no longer want you dead. As my niece has said, things have changed, although not the way
she understands. I need you alive for now. It is time you remembered who you are.”

Loki snapped his fingers, and the skies parted above. A crackling bolt of lightning arced down and struck
Torvard with the sound of a thunderclap. Electricity coursed through his body, yet he felt no pain, only sorrow
as the cloud lifted from his mind.

“Torvard!” Atala wailed.

No, not Torvard. . .

“Thor,” Loki said. “How nice to see you again, my brother.”

He knew he was once again. His fist tightened on the source of the lightning strike---the mighty hammer now in
his hand. Mjolnir, forged by the dwarven lords of old and mastered only by he who be worthy.

“You are free now, son of Odin,” Loki laughed. “Free to spend eternity here with your true love.”

Atala wept. “Please my love. What he says is true. You alone have thawed my heart. We have loved. We can
love again.”

Atala knelt before him in all her icy beauty. Her love was real. He could feel that. He could return with her to the
dream and become Torvard once again.

But she was a troll. She was his enemy. An enemy to his homeland Asgard. There was only once choice to be
made.

Atala knew his decision. Accepted it. She closed her eyes and waited.

Guided by Thor’s hand, Mjolnir rose and fell with the sound of a thunderclap. Atala’s body shattered into a
thousand shards of glittering ice that scattered like glass across the snow.

She was dead. Thor felt a piece of himself die with her. He knew he would never be the same again.

Loki cleared his throat. “Well, that was unpleasant.”

He brushed a few slivers of ice from his coat.

Thor turned on him in rage, an animalistic growl escaping his lips.

“I’ll kill you for this,” he said. In his hand, Mjolnir became a spinning blur. “You die today.”

11
“Now, now, brother,” Loki said as he levitated up into the sky. “I’m afraid you have larger problems than me to
deal with. After all, she was always his favorite cousin.”

And with that, he was gone.

Thor felt a surge of monstrous power all around him. The ground trembled at his feet. Then the fjord erupted
with a crash and an enormous reptilian head burst through the ice, filling up the sky.

The great serpent, Jormungandr, opened its mouth with a deafening roar. Thor raised Mjolnir and leapt
towards it. For a moment, they hung together as if trapped in time, mortal enemies poised for death at the end
times of Ragnarok.

Then the colors of the rainbow flashed before Thor’s eyes and carried him home.

12
A Brief Overlook at Asgard:
Asgard is a small planetary body that
serves as home to the Norse gods
such as Thor, and their ruler, Odin. It
exists in another dimensional plane
and is about the size of the United
States. It is not round like the Earth,
does not spin on its axis, and does not
revolve around the sun. It is a flat,
asteroid-like mass that has a top
surface with a gravitational pull, similar
to that of the Earth’s, in order to keep
the citizens and their cities from
floating into the void. The matter on
Asgard is also denser and more
durable than the matter on Earth.
There is an unknown force that keeps
the surfaces of Asgard from eroding
and from allowing its bodies of water
from drifting off into space. Asgard has
unknown intervals of day and night, it
is unclear as to whether it uses Earth’s
sun as a source of light, and there is
no evidence that the seasons change.
Asgard is connected to at least two
other dimensional planes that consist
of the major land masses the
Asgardians refer to as the “Nine
Worlds”. Four of the Nine Worlds exist
on the same asteroid-like mass that
Asgard exists on. These worlds are
Asgard, Vanaheim, Alfheim, and
Nidavellir. Another of these worlds that
is in a different dimensional plane is
the world of Midgard, or Earth. The
sixth world is that of Jotunheim
followed by Svartalfheim, Hel, and
Muspelheim. There are natural nexus
portals that exist on each of these
worlds except for Midgard, and some
of these worlds are in direct contact
with the roots of Yggdrasil, the cosmic
ash tree that stands in Asgard.
Asgard has one permanent portal and
that is Bifrost, the Rainbow Bridge.
That portal leads to Midgard, but it has
been shattered making it difficult to
travel between the dimensions.
However, there are said to be nexus
portals in the surrounding area of
space that lead to Earth. Asgard also
has a portal to Olympus which is home
to the Greek gods, but since Olympus
is not one of the Nine Worlds it is
presumed that the portal is artificial.
Asgard also has one more unique
phenomenon which is the Cave of
Time wherein one can travel to other
time eras.
Inhabiting the Ten Worlds in the other-
dimensional Asgardian system are
seven races of humanoid life forms.
Each race is different and intelligent,
but the most powerful race is that of
the Gods. The Gods are the most
human looking and believed to have
inhabited Earth at one time only to
move to Asgard sometime later.
Norsemen and Germanic tribes used
to worship the Asgardians nearly a
millennium ago and that is why some
of the names differ slightly like Wotan
instead of Odin. Even though certain
Gods are still interested in humanity
such as Thor, the Asgardians do not
have any more active worshippers or
seek to have any. The gods possess
superhuman abilities such as super
strength and superhuman endurance.
An average male god can lift up to 30
tons while an average female can lift
up to 25 tons, but there are those that
exceed these specifications. The Gods
are also gifted with extremely long life,
but are not immortal like the gods of
Olympus. They are also immune to all
terrestrial diseases and are highly
resistant to conventional forms of
injury.
The second race is that of the Giants
that dwell in Jotunheim. They are also
humanoid, but are more Neanderthal-
like in body structure. Most stand up to
20 feet tall, but some can reach 30
feet. Giants usually lead a
hunter/gatherer type of life, but will war
with the gods on occasion because
they are jealous of the gods’ superior
abilities. Giants are usually classified
by where they live: Frost Giants live in
frozen areas, the oldest Frost Giant
being Ymir, while those that live in the
mountains are known as Storm Giants.
Giants have also been known to
reproduce half-breeds that look like
gods such as Loki and Skurge, the
Executioner.
Dwarves are another of the races that
inhabit the realm of Asgard. Dwarves
are small and stocky with an average
height of 4 feet. Dwarves live in
Nidavellir and maintain peaceful
relations with the Gods. They tend to
be either craftsmen or farmers and
have created weapons for use by the
Gods such as Mjolnir and the spear,
Gungnir. However, it was Odin that
enchanted these weapons with their
magical properties.
13
The next race is that of the elves. The
two types of elves that inhabit the land
are the Light Elves and the Dark Elves.
The Light Elves live in Alfheim while
the Dark Elves live underground in
Svartalfheim. Both species are similar
in the respect that their body types can
differ greatly in size anywhere from 4
feet to 8 feet, and have proportionally
long limbs. Light Elves have lighter
skin tones while Dark Elves are darker,
and both are attuned to magic.
Trolls are yet another of the
inhabitants of this dimension and are
the least human of all the races. Trolls
are massive creatures covered in hair
with an orange skin tone. They
average in at 7 feet making them taller
than the gods, and they live in
settlements scattered throughout the
land. The trolls are incredibly strong,
surpassing the strength of an average
god, and puts them on similar ground
with the Giants. However, certain trolls
like Ulik can have strength equal to
that of the Thunder God, Thor. Trolls
usually work as miners and metal
workers.
Another race of Asgard that lives in the
realm of Muspelheim is that of the
Demons. Demons are similar in size to
the Gods, but are engulfed in fire.
They tend to be nomads but will travel
into other dimensions for the purpose
of war. All Demons are the offspring of
the fire demon who is said to come
before the Gods, Surtur.
The last race is The Angels are the
inhabitants of the Tenth Realm. This
race of winged humanoids are
extremely materialistic and selfish
creatures, who would only be moved
by the desire of material reward.

member of the Avengers since they
first formed. Over the years, Thor has
met and gained the respect of most of
the super heroes of Earth. A number of
gods from other pantheons are friends
of Thor's.
Running Thor:
The original Thor was an honorable
warrior, who believed it was the duty of
the powerful to protect those weaker.
Unfortunately, Thor sometimes acted
arrogantly, and his headstrong temper
and brash ways often got him in
trouble. He acted as Earth and
Asgard's guardian, but he reluctantly
acted against other Asgardians if
Thor used a formal speech pattern (a
form of pseudo-Shakespearian), and
had a tendency to make long
monologues during combat. His alter-
egos spoke normally.
The Eric Masterson Thor, is a simple
architect who is rather stunned by the
changes in his life. He lacks the
confidence that the original Thor had,
since this is all new to him. He often
regrets that his new life as a hero often
overshadows his personal life. Even
though he is not the original Thor,
Masterson is just as brave and noble.
The most important person in his life is
his son Kevin.
History:
Thor is the son of Odin, and Gaea the
goddess of the Earth. Odin wanted a
child of Asgard and Midgard, which is
why he mated with Gaea. Gaea gave
birth to Thor in a small cave in Norway.
A few months later, Odin took the baby
Thor to Asgard to be raised by his
wife, Frigga. Thor learned of Gaea
many centuries later. The young Thor
was raised with Loki, his step brother.
Loki had been the son of the Frost
Giant leader Laufey, who had been
killed by Odin. Even when they were
growing up, Loki was jealous of Thor's
15
powers and popularity. This later grew
into all consuming hatred. When Thor
was eight years old, Odin sent him to
Nidalvellir, the land of the dwarves.
Thor was to order the dwarves Brokk
and Entiri to create three special items
for Odin. One of those items was the
mystical hammer, Mjolnir. Loki
sabotaged the creation of Mjolnir
causing its handle to be too short.
Mjolnir was given several
enchantments by Odin and set it aside
for Thor on the day that he could prove
that he was worthy. Thor trained to
become a mighty warrior and
performed many heroic deeds. At the
age of eighteen, Thor offered his life to
Hela in return for that of the young
goddess Sif. Hela being touched by
this act of nobility, release both Thor
and Sif. For this act, Thor won
possession of Mjolnir and was
declared by Odin the greatest warrior
of Asgard.
In the Ninth Century, A.D., Thor went
to Midgard for the first time. While on
Midgard he promoted his worship
among the Vikings. Later on, the
Norsemen and Germanic people
would also come to worship Thor and
the other Asgardians. While on
Midgard, Thor encouraged his
worshipers to glorify the ways of
combat. One day, Thor discovered that
some of his Viking worshipers had
killed the defenseless inhabitants of a
Christian monastery. Shocked by the
fact that some of his more fanatic
worshipers were killing innocents in his
name, Thor left Midgard and cut
himself off from his worshipers. Over
time, the worship of the gods of
Asgard died out. At one point in time,
Odin had plucked out his eye and
threw it in the Well of Wisdom. This
eye attained sentience. The eye
eventually told Thor many stories
about himself and Odin, none of which
Thor remembered. The eye told Thor
that he was not the first Thor, the
previous one having been killed during
a Ragnarok while fighting the Midgard
Serpent.
As the centuries passed, Thor had
many perilous adventures in Asgard.
But over time Odin became concerned
with Thor's headstrong behavior and
lack of humility. After Thor broke a
truce by chasing a foe into the land of
the Frost Giants and almost causing a
war, Odin decided to teach Thor a
lesson of humility. Using the body of
Don Blake, Odin merges his son Thor
so that he may learn mortality and
humility. Don Blake never knew of the
presence of Thor. Odin, knowing that
such a love could only end in despair,
became worried. About that time, Odin
sensed the arrival of an alien space
ship in the Solar System. The ship was
a scout ship for a main invasion fleet of
the alien Kronans. They planned to
land on Midgard and scout it out for
the main fleet. Odin magically altered
the ship's course so that it would land
in Norway. Working quickly, Odin
placed a compulsion in Blake's mind
causing him to suddenly go to Norway
for a vacation. While walking along the
Norwegian coastline, Blake came upon
the Kronan ship and he was
discovered by the aliens. Losing his
walking cane during his flight from the
aliens, Blake took refuge in a cave. A
secret door opened up in the back of
the cave, and he found a chamber
containing nothing but a gnarled
wooden walking cane. Unknown to
Blake, the chamber was where Thor
had been born many centuries earlier.
Exploring, Blake found that the only
other way out was blocked by a huge
boulder that he could not budge at all.
Frustrated, and scared by the thought
of the eventual arrival of the aliens,
Blake struck out at the boulder with the
wooden cane. Blake was surrounded
by a blazing light, and then he found
that his body transformed into a
powerful form. The cane had been
transformed into a mighty hammer.
Blake instinctively knew that he had
become the legendary Thor. At this
time Blake only believed that he had
obtained the power of Thor since he
had no prior memories of being Thor.
Thor went on to defeat the aliens and
went home with his new found power.
Back in New York, were Don Blake
practice was and his nurse, whom he
loved, Thor became the champion of
justice. Thor in these early days fought
many villains and super villains. Each
time becoming more and more aware
of his many powers. Oddly enough,
Thor did not seem to question his
gradual return of his memories of his
father and of Asgard or the fact that his
essence was also gradually
manifesting itself in his mortal form.
With each transformation into Thor,
Don Blake was becoming stronger,
braver, and more Asgardian in
behavior. While fulfilling Odin's lesson
in humility, Thor was developing a
strong appreciation and love for
mortals and the place they called
Earth. Thor began to interact more
with them as a member of the super
hero team, Avengers. In fact, he was a
founding member of this team. The
strongest affection Thor had for
mortals was his love interest in his
nurse Jane Foster. The love affair
between Thor and Foster continued for
many years. It eventually ended when
Jane Foster failed to pass the test of
immortality that Odin had granted.
Odin sends Jane Foster back to
Midgard with no memory of what had
transpired and she fell in love with
another doctor, Kevin Kincaid. Thor
unsure of his love and disappointment
goes off in search of the Unknown One
that had caused Jane Foster to fail her
test. While on this adventure he aided
by a young, beautiful, warrior goddess
who turns out to be Sif, his childhood
sweetheart. With her new found love,
Sif joins Thor on many of his
adventures. More and more Thor is
doing battle in space and Asgard and
begins to question who is he, Blake or
Thor? Then Odin finally lifts his
memory block completely and Thor
realizes he has always been the god of
Thunder, but does not give up his
mortal identity. Jane Foster still remain
apart of Thor's life when she became
deathly ill and Sif had to merge with
Foster to save her life. The two were
later separated when Foster was sent
to limbo and Sif and Thor rescued her.
Sif continued to fight along side of her
lover and they where joined from time
to time with their Asgardian friends,
Hogun, Fandral, and Volstagg Nick
Fury, leader of S.H.I.E.L.D. later
helped Thor set up a new identity as
Sigurd Jarlson, a construction worker.
In this identity, Thor simply pulled back
his hair, wore glasses, and dressed
like a normal human.
Meanwhile, in a distant galaxy known
as the Burning Galaxy by its peaceful
inhabitants, Surtur was making his first
move toward Ragnarok. Surtur caused
the core of the Burning Galaxy to
explode, creating enough energy to
reforge his Sword of Doom. The
disaster destroyed most of the alien
empire. The survivors fled in a fleet of
ten thousand star ships, hoping to find
a new home. The aliens were all put
into suspended animation, except for
16
the one named Beta Ray Bill. Bill had
been converted into a super-cyborg
and given a sentient spaceship named
Skuttlebutt. Bill was to guard the fleet
on its long journey. The fleet was
being closely followed by horde of
Surtur's demons. Upon entering the
Milky Way Galaxy, the fleet was
discovered by an S.H.I.E.L.D. hyper
space probe. Nick Fury asked Thor to
fly out and investigate. Beta Ray Bill
was awakened by Skuttlebutt when
Thor breached the hull of the ship. The
two fought, and during the fight Thor
was separated from his hammer,
causing him to turn back into Don
Blake. Bill picked up the wooden cane
(Mjolnir) and struck a wall of the ship.
Bill was transformed into an alien
version of Thor, holding Mjolnir. This
happened because Odin's
enchantments, design to bestow
Thor's powers on anyone worthy
enough. Odin had thought that Thor
was the only one worthy enough, but
Bill was also worthy. Skuttlebutt landed
on Earth, and Odin then summoned
Thor to Asgard. The summons carried
Bill to Asgard instead. Odin then
summoned Blake to Asgard and
transformed him into Thor. Thor and
Bill became friends, but Bill refused to
give up Mjolnir; Bill felt that he had
taken it in fair combat, and he needed
the hammer to protect his people. Odin
ordered a trial by combat, which Bill
won. But Bill felt guilty about taking the
hammer that had been made
especially for Thor. Odin then ordered
a new hammer to be made, with the
same enchantments and materials as
Thor's. Odin gave this new hammer,
Storm Breaker, to Bill.
Thor, Beta Ray Bill, and Sif then went
to Bill's armada and drove off Surtur's
demons. Since then, Bill has helped
protect Earth and Asgard from Surtur
and other menaces. Surtur then joined
forces with the renegade Dark Elves.
The Dark Elves and Surtur's demon
army attacked Earth, after opening the
Ancient Casket of Winters on Earth,
along with a number of super heroes,
drove the invaders back. Meanwhile,
Thor, Loki, and Odin protected Asgard
from Surtur himself. The three gods
mingled their essences, which
increased their powers so that they
might be able to defeat the demonic
fire elemental. During the battle, a
great deal of Asgard was destroyed,
including the Bifrost, the Rainbow
Bridge. Surtur and Odin grappled with
each other. The two combatants then
fell down a huge chasm, which then
closed up. While Beta Ray Bill and the
Asgardian army prepared to return
home, preparations were made to
select a new leader since Odin had
disappeared. Lorelei, with the help of
Loki, enchanted Thor and caused him
to fall in love with her. Loki planned to
get Thor to choose him as the new
leader. Thor broke free of the
enchantment, but the incident had
strained Thor's relationship with Sif. Sif
later forgave Thor but did not return
with him to Midgard. Thor, Balder, and
some Asgardian then traveled to Hel,
the realm of the Asgardian death
goddess, Hela. They went to rescue a
number of Earth souls that had been
unrightfully taken by Hela. Thor and
his allies were able to save the souls,
but Thor's face was badly scarred in a
fight with Hela herself. Thor returned to
Earth and returned the souls to their
mortal bodies. While on Earth, Thor
also became involved in the
Beyonder's Second Secret Wars. The
Beyonder resurrected the leader of the
Dark Elves, increased the Elf's powers,
and renamed him Kurse. Thor was
able to beat Kurse, and send him to
Hel, where he caused Hela many
problems. Meanwhile, the gods of
Asgard began the Great Althing, to
chose a new king. Thor tried to return
to Asgard, but before he could, he was
turned into a frog by Loki. Thor then
helped the frogs of Central Park defeat
their enemies, the rats. Thor the frog
then regained his hammer, and turned
into a frog-like humanoid, the Thunder
Frog.
In Asgard, Harokin, an Asgard warrior,
pretended to be Thor. This deception
postponed Loki's attempt to become
the new leader of Asgard. Thor arrived
in time and secretly captured Loki
before the evil god revealed the
deception. Meanwhile, Volstagg
discovered Surtur's sword. Loki had
hidden the sword and was using a
machine to drain magical energy from
the sword. The magical energy had
provided Loki with the power to
transform Thor into a frog. Volstagg
destroyed the machine, which freed
Thor from the spell and transformed
him back into his normal form. Thor
then talked the Asgardians into making
Balder their new king. Hela, who had
guessed that Thor had sent Kurse to
Hel, cursed Thor that so his bones
became as brittle as a normal
human's. She also cursed him so that
he could not die from his injuries. Thor
grew a beard to conceal the facial
scars caused by Hela, and donned a
suit of armor to support his fragile
body. Despite the curse, Thor was
able to kill the Midgard Serpent. Thor
survived the battle, even though the
prophecies said that he should die in
the fight also. He survived partially
thanks to Hela's curse. Unfortunately,
his body was completely broken and
battered, still alive, but unable to move
and in a great deal of pain. Loki sent
the Destroyer armor to torment Thor,
but instead Thor was able to send his
spirit into the Destroyer armor and
command this ultimate weapon. Thor
then traveled to Hel, planning to force
Hela to free him of the curse. Hela was
stunned by his new form, as the Thor
Destroyer set about obliterating Hel.
Thor pretended that the basic soul of
the Destroyer had taken over, which
meant that he acted like h was going
to destroy Hela and Hel. The
desperate Hela had no choice but to
return Thor to his original body, and in
return, release him from her curse.
Thor make Hela promise never to take
a soul she was not entitled to by the
ancient laws, before he agreed to
return his soul to his original body. The
frightened Hela agreed and sent Thor
back to Asgard. Thor arrived in time to
save Asgard from an invasion by the
Frost Giants, who were secretly
backed by Loki.
Thor and Asgard next became
embroiled in a battle with the Egyptian
god of death, Seth. While Seth and his
armies attacked Asgard directly, Thor
and some of his friends attacked
Seth's Black Pyramid, the source of
Seth's powers. Thor discovered that
Seth's power was backed by the
captured Bes, the Egyptian god of
luck. Thor also found and rescued the
lost Odin from the pyramid. Odin had
been captured by Seth after separating
from Surtur during the long fall and
battle with Surtur. Odin and Thor's
allies returned to Asgard to stand in
the final battle against Seth and his
army. Odin granted Thor a portion of
his power and left him behind in Seth's
dimension, to battle the arriving Surtur.
As Surtur and Thor fought, the near by
Black Pyramid was destroyed. The
resulting energy backlash thrust the
17
grappling does through time and
space. Meanwhile, Odin led the
surviving Asgardians in a desperate
battle with Seth and his army. While
Odin was busy fighting Seth, Hogun
killed the death god with the Black
Knight, whose body had been cursed
to become a living magical blade. Thor
and Surtur then arrived in Asgard, and
Thor managed to stun Surtur. Odin
then absorbed Surtur's like essences,
imprisoning the demon within his own
body. After the battle, Thor returned to
his life on Midgard. Unfortunately, to
became harder and harder to
communicate and travel between
Midgard and Asgard. Asgard drifted
into the Negative Zone and was
apparently stuck there. Odin imbued
Mjolnir with the ability contact Asgard
one last time. On Midgard, Thor was
having many problems of his own.
Unknown to him, his body had been
infused with a portion of his evil
stepbrother's power. This had
happened when Thor, Loki, and Odin
had mingled their essences during
Surtur's first attack on Asgard. This
caused Thor to have unexplained
moments of weakness during stressful
situations. Thor also became friends
with the architect Eric Masterson and
Masterson's son, Kevin.
During this time, the mysterious
Mongoose attacked Thor several
times, trying to gain a cell sample for
the god of thunder. Finally, Mongoose
kidnapped Eric Masterson and left a
trail that led Thor to Wundagore, the
High Evolutionary's home. Thor saved
Masterson and joined with the High
Evolutionary's New Men in saving
Hercules and the High Evolutionary
from the mysterious Black Galaxy.
During the Evolutionary Wars,
Hercules and the High Evolutionary
evolved to a higher state and
disappeared. Masterson accompanied
Thor and helped him free Hercules
and the High Evolutionary from
Celestials holding them prisoner. They
returned to Earth, while the High
Evolutionary turned Wundagore into a
spaceship and headed for the Black
Galaxy. Unknown to Thor, a cell
sample was obtained from him before
Wundagore left. Hercules, Thor, and
Masterson were then viciously
attacked by Mongoose using weapon
he had stolen from Wundagore.
Mongoose almost killed Thor using a
powerful energy beam. Masterson took
the killing blow for Thor, giving Thor
and Hercules a chance to defeat
Mongoose. Unfortunately, Masterson
was critically wounded and dying from
his wounds. Thor used his hammer
last enchantment to contact Odin so
that Masterson might be spared.
Granting Thor his wish, Odin then
merged Masterson with Thor much like
the way he did for Don Blake.
However, in this case Masterson and
Thor were two separate beings. While
Thor and Masterson dealt with their
new condition, more problems arose.
Masterson's private life underwent a
great deal of change and strain.
Masterson finally had to give up
custody of his son to his ex-wife and
her pro-football husband.
Thor continued to have spells of
weakness and sought out the aid of
Doctor Strange, Sorcerer Supreme.
Doctor Strange was able to enter the
realms of Thor's subconscious. Thor
accompanied Strange in this realm to
discover that Masterson was there as
well as an evil version of Thor. This
version of Thor turned out to be a
remainder of Loki's essence which
Thor was able to defeat Loki's essence
and rid himself of is possession. Thor
and Masterson became much closer
from this time on even though they
were separate now as a result of their
conflict with the celestials. After this
they journeyed to Asgard with the help
of Sif. At the time, Asgard was the
scene of a tremendous battle between
the fire elemental Surtur and the ice
elemental Ymir. This battle signaled
Ragnarok, the end of time for Asgard
nine worlds. Following Odin's plan,
Thor recovered Surtur's sword from
the Sea of Eternal Night. He then
confronted the gods of Fire and Ice.
Thor, weakened by his separation from
Masterson, failed to stop the lords of
Fire and Ice. Masterson again merged
with Thor to complete Thor's essence
that he had shared. Thor tricked the
Ymir and Surtur to fight over the sword
that would light the Flame of
Destruction. During this distraction
Thor was able to open up a
dimensional rift that sucked them both
into the Sea of Eternal Night, placing
these evil lords in suspended
animation forever.
Thor returned to earth to only find that
Loki had plotted the greatest of his
schemes. Unknown to Thor or
Masterson, Loki had learned from the
Tomorrow Man that he would be killed
by Thor in this battle. This complex
circumstance is not revealed as Loki
had discovered this from Masterson in
the near future. Phase one of Loki's
plan was to force Thor to kill him. He
did this by kidnapping Masterson's
son, Kevin and after battle with Thor in
last desperation to make Thor kill him
he hurls a bolt of energy toward
Masterson's ex-wife. The Enchantress
causes Susan Austin, Masterson's girl
friend, to leap in front of the bolt.
Seeing this Thor becomes enraged
and use Mjolnir to draw the life force
from Loki. Unknown to Thor, Loki
redirects his life force to Odin who is in
his Odin sleep to replenish his power.
An exchange takes place as Loki's
essence takes over Odin's body and
Odin's essence was trapped in the
realm of Mephisto after Loki had made
a pact with him.
Odin, under Loki's power, wakes up
and orders Heimdall to punish Thor for
breaking the most sacred law, an
Asgardian may not take another
Asgardians life. Be Heimdall carries
out the punishment Thor pleas that
Masterson not be affected and
Midgard would still be given a
guardian. Heimdall banishes Thor and
Masterson is left and Mjolnir is a cane
again. In anger Masterson strikes the
cane and discovers he has the power
of Thor but not his essence or being.
Masterson was alone. Masterson, now
Thor II, attempts to deal with his super
powers and fulfill Thor's role. He
entrusts his secret to Captain America
whom make him an Avengers and
assists him with the transition. The
new Thor was honor bond to find the
original and restore his powers. This
trek took the new Thor too many
adventures and a special bonding with
Sif. Sif, just as eager to find her love,
began to become more and more
attracted to the new Thor though she
despised his mortal ways. With each
new battle Eric Masterson becomes
more like Thor.
During one trek to find Thor,
Masterson comes joins up with Dargo,
A Thor from the 26th century, and Beta
Ray Bill to form the Thor Corps. They
battle the Tomorrow Man who uses his
time travel to bring some of Thor's
greatest enemies from the past,
including Loki. During this battle with
18
Loki, the new Thor reveals to Loki that
circumstances of his death. Masterson
was not cognitive of this revelation
being the cause of all that has
happened recently. Also during these
time jumps the Thor of the future
discovers what will become of
Masterson. After defeating the
Tomorrow Man the new Thor
continues to face greater challenges
while Sif and Balder seek out the
places that Thor could have been
banished. After battle Mesphisto to
save Sif, Masterson learns of Loki's
scheme and goes to Asgard to
confront Loki, now in Odin's body.
When Loki is expelled for Odin, Odin
sends Masterson into his
subconscious where he finds the
original Thor. With Thor restored to his
former glory, Masterson is separated
again from Thor. As a reward for being
Thor II, Odin bestows on Masterson
the power of Thor and a battle mace,
thus becoming a new super hero,
Thunderstrike.
Having left Earth in the charge of
Thunderstrike, Thor begins his, hope
to be long stay, in Asgard. While there
he becomes frustrated and at times
angry with all the times bits and pieces
of his power have be separated from
him. While strolling through the streets
of Asgard, Thor comes upon a raven
dressed Valkyrie. Not recognizing her,
Thor becomes curious about her.
During this time Thor becomes
engaged in senseless battles. Odin
demands Thor's explanation and Thor
tells Odin of his frustrations and
confusions. Odin sends Thor alone out
on a trek through the cosmos to find
himself and peace of mind. Unknowing
to Thor or anyone else Thor is not
alone...his new acquaintance Valkyrie
is with him. It is later discovered that
Valkyrie is only figment of Thor's
imagination brought on by the fury that
rests in his soul. Sif, Thor's immortal
love, is confused and concerned by
Thor's behavior and seeks out Beta
Ray's help. Thor vexed by the
presence of Valkyrie becomes more
and more mad. In battle with Beta Ray
Bill, Thor nearly kills Beta Ray.
Pluto, god of the Greek underworld,
sees an opportunity to gain vengeance
on Thor. He sends Ares to do battle
knowing that he is not a match for
Thor, especially one enraged with
warrior's madness. Pluto's plan
succeeds as Thor defeats Ares and
Zeus discovers that his son, Ares, has
been befallen by the hand of Thor.
Meanwhile, Thor becomes involved
with the Infinity Crusade as the
Goddess' essence overcomes that of
the Valkyrie. Thor travels with the
Goddess to her citadel to join various
other super heroes that she has
enlisted in her crusade. During his stay
at the citadel of the Goddess, Thor
battles and defeats the Super Skrull
and Drax the Destroyer.
Thor succumbs to more and more of
his warrior's madness. Sif and Beta
Ray pursue him hoping that they may
help him. After his defeat by the hand
of Thor, Drax returns to the Infinity
Watch. Concerned with Thor's
madness, Warlock enlists the aid of
the Silver Surfer and his Infinity Watch.
In their first struggle with trying to gain
control over Thor, the Infinity Watch is
beaten and Thor gains possession of
the power infinity gem. Now with the
mystic aid of Doctor Strange, the
Infinity watch pursues Thor again to no
avail.
Thanos aware and concerned with
Thor unchecked possession of the
power gem, battles Thor. To prevent
him for doing any more damage,
Thanos places Thor into suspended
animation and delivers him to Odin.
The only way Odin feels he can save
Thor is to plunge deep into his mind at
the heart of Thor's madness. At risk of
killing Thor, Odin does just that to find
Thor shackled in chains by the hollow
phantom known as the Valkyrie. Odin
does battle with Valkyrie for control of
Thor's sanity. However, it is Thor who
enters the fray and finally defeats the
Valkyrie and regains his sanity.
Rested from his trials, Thor no longer
desires to stay in Asgard. The
misunderstanding between he and his
father, Odin, yet to be resolved, Thor
leaves Asgard for Earth. Now on Earth
again, Thor becomes involved with the
High Evolutionary and his Animutants
and his new creatures that form up the
God Pack. Thor joins the God Pack
and takes on Karnivore, formerly the
Man Wolf. Thor returns to Wundagore
to assist the High Evolutionary defend
it against Karnivore and the
Animutants. After this battle Thor
changes his costume to be more to the
style of the other God Pack members.
While at Wundagore, Thor discovers a
cave with the shell of Don Blake.
Confused by the presence of Don
Blake, Thor investigates further only to
be surprise by Blake's awakening. As
the cave begins to crumble because of
the battle raging above, Thor takes
Blake to a place of safety. Blake
discovers Jane Foster there and
believes he is still in Norway. Odin had
placed Blake there, under Wundagore,
so that no other would discover the
Blake template, so that one day when
Thor no longer needed the mortal form
of Blake, Odin could restore Blake with
the needed memories of his mortal
times merged with Thor. This was not
possible as Sygn, the wife of Loki, had
interfered and destroyed the original
and replaced it with a construct for fear
of Odin discovering what she had
done.
During time with the God Pack Thor
battled the Destroyer set against him
by Hela. Also he did battle with the
Thing and War Machine who were
possessed by Loki. While in Asgard,
Odin prepared for Ragnarok by
resurrecting Red Norvell an early
version of Thor. Odin also brought in
Beta Ray Bill as he tried to make up
for the loss of Thor in Asgard. Signs
were leading to a coming of the end for
Asgard and its known universe. After
battling Thunderstrike and facing his
friend's death. Thor is back on earth
weak and sickly. Not knowing, but
suspecting, that he is dying, Thor
contacts Odin and is rejected for doing
so. Thor's ailing body becomes worse
only to be attacked suddenly by
unknown constructs of metal and flesh.
Thor follows his wounded assailants to
an underground place and discovers
the presence of the Yggdrasil tree.
Yggdrasil is attached to machines and
seems to be under someone's control.
Thor soon passes out.
When Thor awakens he discovers he
is in hotel room of the Enchantress.
She is able to help him not succumb to
the world ash tree's affects. In doing so
Thor and the Enchantress become
romantically involved. Thor and the
Enchantress discover that an old
scientist is making Yggdrasil believe
that Ragnarok has already happened
causing its natural time clock to be off.
Together they put an end to this
madman's workings. Believing that
19
order is restored, Thor and the
Enchantress continue on with their
love affair only to discover that they
have become mortal. Together they
search out for answers frustrated with
their loss of Asgardian powers.
Thor and the Enchantress search lead
them to a sword called the Ravenseye.
Along the way they discover Odin on
Earth also a mortal and an alcoholic.
This leads them to an alternate Asgard
where the god’s roles are different.
After doing battle with the beings in
this Wagnerian version of Asgard the
Ravenseye is removed from Yggdrasil
and Thor's power is restored. Thor and
the Enchantress, with the mortals that
led them to the sword, are now back in
Asgard. But this time the gods are
missing, only the enemies of Asgard
are there and Thor does battle with
them. Being the only god to come in
contact with Ravenseye, Thor is the
only Asgardian left with his power. The
Enchantress is off in another part of
Asgard lost, confused, and without her
powers. Thor finally discovers from his
father the true meaning of all that is
going on.
Odin, fearing the coming of Ragnarok,
placed all the memories and powers of
the gods in the sword, Ravenseye.
After doing this he placed the
Asgardians on earth where they would
be normal mortals and dropped
Ravenseye off of Bifrost, the rainbow
bridge. Awakening in an alley as a
mortal himself, Odin found that he was
stripped of his armor and jewels.
Discovering that the inhabitants of the
city no longer worshipped him, Odin
succumbs to alcohol. Because of the
restoration of Thor's powers, Red
Norvell also has gained his powers of
Thor. Having battled Onslaught, Thor
and several of Earth's heroes are
gone. Leaving only Red Norvell to find
the Lost Asgardians and somehow,
with Odin's help, restore them back to
their former selves.
After the battle with Onslaught, many
of the Marvel heroes are displaced in
another universe. Here they have no
memory of their previous existence.
Thor in this universe has been
encased in a block of amber. The
Avengers, through the help of
archeologist Don Blake, discovered
Thor and his hammer. Thor is revived
when the Avengers free him from the
amber encasement. Loki is present
and aware that there is no Asgard in
this universe, figures Thor is easy
game. Not so with the help of the
Avengers of this universe and once
again Thor is a member of "Earth's
Mightiest Heroes".
Thor is more barbaric in this universe
and he seems to be able to
communicate with Mjolnir as though it
were sentient. Because of the goings
on in Asgard in the normal universe,
there may be some question whether
or not this is the true Thor. Finally,
when Captain America and some other
Avengers are trying contain the
Gamma reactor, the one and only Thor
appears. The reactor seemed to act as
some portal. Meanwhile, the more
barbaric Thor has sided with Loki and
the true Thor is forced to do battle with
him.
Back in the regular Marvel Universe,
Asgard has been under siege by Seth
the Egyptian god of death. To avoid
destruction, Odin has placed all the
gods of Asgard on Midgard to protect
them from Ragnarok. After the so
called lost gods regain their power
they seemed to be disoriented
between their previous god and mortal
lives. Odin is finally victorious over
Seth; however, before he can restore
Asgard there is a rift in the universe
that affects all of Asgard and allows
many Asgardians stranded on Earth.
Thor, locked in combat with Doctor
Doom to save Franklin Richards,
opens a dimensional rift to pull Doom
and himself away from the others who
returned to Earth. The rift must have
separated Doom from Thor or Doom
used some of his own magic to
escape. However, Thor awakes in
Asgard.
Thor faces the Destroyer. Seemingly
unstoppable this time the Destroyer
lays waste to New York's eastside
docks. Thor wars with the Destroyer
which seems almost hopeless. As the
battle rages Hela awaits the final
outcome which, what she thinks, is
Thor's death. In the battle with the
Destroyer, Thor is mortally wounded.
Meanwhile another dies without Thor's
notice; a paramedic name Jake Olson.
As a result of his death Thor meets
with a mysterious entity named
Marnot. Marnot challenges Hela for the
right of Thor's life and wins. However,
Thor must agree to live the life of
Olson. Thor returns to earth to defeat
the Destroyer and begins to live the life
of Olson, not without complications.
As Thor copes with his new mortal life
he searches for answers of the
destruction of Asgard. In the meantime
he battles Sedna an Intuit goddess of
the sea. The Sub Mariner comes to his
aid. During the battle Thor begins to
learn more of his predicament as the
mortal Olson and that his hammer,
Mjolnir, is not behaving the way it
should. His life a paramedic has
brought Thor together with, now
Doctor, Jane Foster. After witnessing
Olson's great knowledge of medicine
(that Thor obtain by being Dr. Donald
Blake), Foster begins to suspect that
Jake Olson is actually Thor.
Meanwhile Jake Olson's
acquaintances, not knowing he is dead
and Thor is only occupying his shell,
are confused by Olson's behavior and
sudden changes in speech. Once
again attempting to thwart Ragnarok,
Odin tried to trick the world-ash tree
Yggdrasill into believing that Ragnarok
had already happened. To do so, the
Asgardians were to be transformed
into mortals so that they would not be
recognized as gods. Odin intended
that Thor would restore the Asgardians
to normal, but Seth accidentally
prematurely activated the plan.
Compounding the situation, Thor
disappeared battling Onslaught and
wound up on the new Counter-Earth
created by Franklin Richards. By the
time Thor returned to Earth, the
Asgardians had managed to regain
their identities, but were then captured
by the Dark Gods. Ultimately, Thor
rescued his people from the Dark
Gods with the aid of Hercules and the
Destroyer.
During a period where Thor was
injured and needed to recover, he still
had responsibilities as Jake Olson that
needed attention. Odin separated
Olson from Thor temporarily so that
"Thor" could recuperate properly while
"Jake" attended to his life. This
temporary separation lasted far longer
than intended when the Fire Demon
Surtur resurfaced. After Odin fell in
battle against Surtur, Asgard was left
without a ruler. Thor eventually
reluctantly accepted the throne and
assumed his father's Odinpower,
20
becoming much more powerful. He
also remained separate from the Jake
Olson aspect of himself. Without the
influence of "Jake Olson", the
embodiment of his connection to
humanity, Thor became more distant
and less empathetic to the needs of
man. Thor became determined to
restore the gods of Asgard to their
former place on Earth as beings to be
worshipped, merging Earth with
Asgard to accomplish this end. Thor's
increased activity on Earth resulted in
a resurgence of followers for the
Asgardians, and a Church of Thor
soon emerged. Thor's willingness to
fight for the lives of his followers
ultimately set him against his fellow
Avengers when he attempted to
overthrow the government of Slokovia.
Earth's citizens became increasingly
wary of Thor, and the Consortium of
Nations finally launched an assault
upon Asgard that reduced it to rubble.
In the disaster that followed, an
enraged Thor lost an arm battling the
humans and killed his other self, Jake
Olson, finding himself no longer worthy
of Mjolnir. From that point on, Thor
devoted himself to Earth's conquest to
bring order to humanity; he ruled Earth
for nearly two hundred years. In that
time, he married the Enchantress and
she bore him a son, Magni. Thor finally
came to realize that he had done
wrong, and used a device created by
Zarrko to travel back in time and
prevent Asgard's destruction. He re-
emerged as his younger self with Jake
Olson, to ensure that Olson's humanity
would prevent his future from occurring
in that timeline. Returning Asgard to its
own realm, Thor was faced with yet
another Ragnarok threat when Loki
teamed with Surtur using weapons
created from the same forge from
which Mjolnir was made. Determining
that the gods above all gods known as
Those Who Sit Above in Shadow had
manipulated Asgard into the repeating
cycle of Ragnarok, he sought them out
and gave his life to destroy them. The
Odinpower, having manifested itself as
a young Asgardian, congratulated Thor
on his final victory, the plan his father
had always had for him, leaving Thor
to rest the slumber of the gods and all
that remained of them were memories
on Midgard.
Mjolnir returned to Earth, landing in a
deserted field and inadvertently freeing
Doctor Doom from his extra-
dimensional prison along the way.
Donald Blake claimed the hammer,
returned from oblivion after Odin's
death and the breaking of the spell that
undid his existence. Meanwhile, a
clone of Thor, codenamed "Project
Lightning" was also released during a
battle between pro and anti registration
heroes. To the shock of both sides, he
killed Bill Foster during the fighting.
Traveling back to "the void" Blake
convinced Thor that he had ended the
Ragnarok cycle, and that if he returned
to earth, he could rebuild Asgard and
restore his Asgardian friends and
allies. Informing him that he could only
return "with great pain", Thor was
attacked by a horde of creatures.
Disappearing, Donald Blake advised
Thor that if he was to live again, he
had to want to live again. Through the
horde, Thor saw Mjolnir and reached
for it. Grabbing it, a great bolt of
lightning struck, throwing the horde
clear of him. And Thor stood again,
reborn in a new costume. Thor used
Mjolnir to recreate Asgard's capital in
Oklahoma. Soon afterward, Iron Man
met Thor in New Orleans. He greeted
Thor as a friend but explained that he
couldn't just appear and recreate
Asgard here on Earth, even though he
did now own the land. Thor told Stark
that he knew of the clone that he used
and how violated he felt that he used
such an abomination to wage war
against other heroes, many of whom
Thor considered as close as family.
Seeking a compromise, Stark
rationalized that Asgard could be
considered a foreign embassy, with
diplomatic immunity granted to its
inhabitants. Thor deemed this
acceptable.\
Soon after returning, Thor found the
first of the lost Asgardians, Heimdall,
and restored him to his true form. In
Africa, Thor restored the Warriors
Three to their true forms. Later, Thor
attempted to free several captured
Asgardians who were still trapped in
mortal form from The Destroyer. He
unknowingly freed Loki, reborn as a
woman, who was working with Dr.
Doom to allow Thor to free him from
his mortal form. Although Thor
successfully restored most of the
Asgardians, he did not attempt to find
his father. During the Odinsleep, Thor
had a vision in which he discovered
that on a subconscious level he did not
do so because he wished to be free of
his father, and that Odin fought an
eternal cycle of battle with Surtur,
dying and being reborn each day,
between life and death. During the
Skrull invasion, the Skrulls pulled Beta
Ray Bill out of the limbo he had been
trapped within, and enabled a Super-
Skrull to wield his mystic hammer
Stormbreaker. Balder and Beta Ray
Bill commanded the gods against the
Skrull troops. Thor arrived, retrieved
Stormbreaker, and collapsed all of
Asgard itself on top of the Skrull. Thor
flew to New York and joined with the
gathered forces of nearly a hundred
other superheroes to repel the Skrull
attack. There, Thor was forced to
sacrifice a fellow Avenger, the Wasp,
when the Skrulls turned her into a last-
resort biological weapon that would
have destroyed the planet.
Loki traveled to the past, ensuring Bor,
father of Odin and first king of Asgard,
would perish in battle against the Frost
Giants. In the present day Loki revived
Bor in New York City and placed a
spell on him to make him mistake
everything around him for an enemy
so he would attack everything in sight,
including Thor. Sensing a portion of
Odin's power inside what he saw as a
demon, Bor attacked Thor, attempting
to avenge his dead son. Thor was
forced to kill Bor, fearing the entire
planet would be destroyed in the wake
of their battle. Loki reminded Balder
that the resurrected Bor was
technically king of Asgard when Thor
killed him and the punishment for
killing a king was banishment from
Asgard. Balder was forced to agree
and was made monarch in his place.
After Thor's banishment, Loki made
arrangements to have all Asgardians,
but not Asgard itself, moved to
Latveria at the invitation of Doctor
Doom. With Mjolnir badly damaged
from his battle with his revived
grandfather, Thor was secluded from
all but his own alter ego. Loki revealed
that her female body had been meant
for Sif and that the transfer from his
female form to his male form would
probably kill Sif's host. After seeking
Doctor Strange's aid in healing Mjolnir
by sacrificing the portion of the Odin
Force, Thor managed to save Sif by
freeing her spirit. Loki was returned to
his male form. They deduced that Loki
and Doom were working together and
confronted Doom, Loki and their
21
brethren. In the end, Doom was
teleported away by Loki. Balder
declared that the Asgardians were
returning to Asgard.
During The Siege of Asgard, Thor
rushed to the aid of Asgard against
Norman Osborn and his invading Dark
Avengers. Osborn ordered the Sentry
to destroy Asgard before the horrified
eyes of Thor. The Sentry, then fully
possessed by the Void, proceeded to
pummel the heroes until Loki used the
Norn Stones to empower them.
Realizing that the heroes' power was
coming from Loki, the Void attacked
him. Loki's attempts to defend himself
were unsuccessful, and he apologized
to Thor before dying. Spurred on by
unabridged rage, Thor and the others
attacked the Void, but to no avail until
Tony Stark rammed a H.A.M.M.E.R
Helicarrier into their opponent at full
speed, turning Void into his human
form of Rob Reynolds, who begged
Thor to kill him. Thor refused, saying
that he would pay for his crimes in
prison, and prepared to arrest him, but
Robert unwillingly began to transform
back into the Void. Left with no other
choice, Thor struck the Void with a
lightning blast before he could regain
his full powers, leaving nothing but a
charred skeleton behind. Thor then
wrapped his own cape around Sentry's
corpse and disposed of it by throwing it
into the sun. Balder lifted Thor's exile
and appointed Thor as his adviser.
Thor has since then rejoined the
Avengers.
After the events of Siege, Asgard was
left in ruins because of Loki's doing,
but still Thor mourned for him. After
fighting the Dísir and saving Hel, Thor
asked Hela to speak with Loki only for
Hela to tell him that her father did not
dwell in Hel. In part of his deal to grant
a piece of Hell for the dead, Loki had
himself written out of the books of Hel,
meaning his soul was out there,
vulnerable to the Disir. Thor refused to
believe it, knowing that his step-
brother would've had something else
planned. Asgard was rebuilt, and Thor
became more melancholic and
saddened. Sorrowful, Thor missed his
brother who had made him laugh like
no other and when they were children.
Against everyone's wishes, Thor went
looking for Loki and found him in Paris,
reborn as a child with no memories of
his past or his identity. He was living
as a street hustler named "Serrure"
(French for lock). After chasing the boy
down, Thor revealed he was his
brother and a god, and that despite
Loki's former villainy, Thor couldn't
imagine life without him and wanted to
bring him home. Though Serrure was
reluctant to believe Thor, the boy
finally admitted that he couldn't
remember anything about his past and
that even his name was fake. Crying,
Serrure told Thor that he had dreams
in which he had done horrible things
and that he was scared that those
were his memories. Thor suggested
that Loki should think of his amnesia
as a "gift". Convinced, Serrure grabbed
Mjolnir and turned back into Loki,
though powerless, without his
memories, and still a youth. When the
World Eaters invaded the Nine
Realms, Thor also brought Odin back
to life, much to the latter exasperation
who yelled at Loki, calling him a killer
and an abomination responsible for
Asgard's fall, scaring the boy away.
Thor became angry with his father and
calls him a "horrible, unlovable man"
for screaming at a child who was very
much the boy Odin had raised. The
All-Father, in turn, angrily told Thor
that he had everything with both him
and Loki dead but that he "just couldn't
stand the quiet". Meanwhile, Loki had
stolen Dr. Solvang's car and was
caught by Iron Man. Though the boy
tried to apologize Stark was about to
attack him but Thor told his comrade to
stop, admitting that he had indeed
brought the God of Mischief back and
that was all there was to say about his
little brother. Even though Loki couldn't
remember his past acts and had
become a child completely, the
Asgardians still hated and despised
him, bullying him mercilessly and even
attempted to kill him. The only one
who protected him was Thor, telling his
brother that things would get better
and that trust would come along with
affection. As a result, Loki came to
idolize and deeply love his older
brother, doing all he could to help him
and trying to become a better person
than he was in his previous life.
Sometime after, Sin lifted a strange
hammer in Antarctica and was
transformed into Skadi. She then freed
the enigmatic Serpent, who claimed to
be the true All-Father of Asgard.
Sensing this, Odin retreated from
Midgard. Thor objected and so was
beaten into submission by Odin. Odin
recreated Asgard as a war world,
intending to raze Midgard and defeat
the Serpent once more. After escaping
with Loki's help, Thor was banished
back to Midgard, though not before
having Mjolnir returned to him. After a
short reunion with the Avengers he set
off to Antarctica, where the Serpent
had recreated his dread citadel, he
confronted the Serpent but was sent to
New York, where he encountered Nul
and Angrir, two of the Serpent's
Worthy. He managed to defeat Angrir
by impaling his body with Mjolnir.
Enraged by the fact that he had to hurt
the Thing so badly, he attacked Nul
with intense fury, and after stating that
there was no way to defeat his
opponent, simply removed Nul from
the battle by blasting him into the
upper atmosphere. He collapsed
shortly after. The Avengers carried him
to Asgard, where he was healed and
given the Odinsword, called Ragnarok,
to slay the Serpent. Arriving in
Broxton, he was able to kill the
Serpent, who took the form of a giant
snake, but died as well, fulfilling the
prophecy. Thor's corpse was buried in
Asgard. As his body burned, a shape
was suddenly seen within the fire, and
from the flames Tanarus was born, the
loud-mouthed, boisterous God of
Thunder, both new hero and longtime
Avenger. Welcomed by his
teammates, only Loki seemed to
notice that Tanarus had not always
been around. At the same time, Thor's
spirit awoke and Donald Blake was
separated from him somehow. He
found himself on a God Ark, facing the
god-eating monster Demogorge. Loki
was not affected by the spell which
changed everybody's memories, and
he tried to find a way to resurrect Thor,
asking for the Silver Surfer's help and
contacting Blake. Taking his cane, he
turned it back into Mjolnir, which
returned to Thor, and restored
everyone's memories of him. He was
able to escape from the afterlife and
fight for (the now called) Asgardia from
an invasion of trolls and to unmask
Tanarus as a transformed Ulik.
After traveling sometime across the
Nine Realms, Thor returned to
Midgard to rejoin the Avengers and
sided with his fellow Avengers against
the mutants of Utopia and led a team
of Avengers into space in order to
confront the Phoenix Force and
22
destroy it. He failed to distract the
Phoenix Force which badly injured him
and the expedition was forced to leave
for Kree-Lar in order to prepare for a
second attempt. However, he failed
and instead crashed on the moon.
Thor later aided the Avengers against
some of the now-Phoenix-empowered
X-Men until their victory over Dark
Phoenix. Following the war, Captain
America selected Thor to join the
Avengers Unity Division, a new team
of Avengers composed of both classic
Avengers and X-Men. After
discovering the corpses of long-lost
gods, Thor set out to find their killer,
Gorr the God Butcher. During his
quest to stop Gorr from killing every
god, Thor found himself in a distant
future, where he encountered his
older-self. With the help of this future-
self and a past-self Gorr had enslaved,
Thor managed to stop Gorr from
activating a bomb which would've
killed every god across every time and
space. After discovering that his old
love Jane Foster had cancer, Thor
confronted a returning Malekith, who
had set out to kill every Dark Elf who
wouldn't follow him. Thor found himself
pitted against Roxxon in a
confrontation which left the city of
Broxton in ruins. While the rest of the
Asgardians left Earth, Thor remained
and moved his entire castle from
Asgardia to Broxton so the residents of
the town had a place to live.
After finding Uatu's corpse on the
Moon, Thor alerted the Avengers of
the Watcher's murder and helped them
investigate the crime. He and several
heroes were affected by Uatu's eye
when it exploded, creating a blast of
energy which revealed deep secrets
related to those affected by it. To Thor
was revealed the existence of a secret
Tenth Realm, which had been at war
with Asgard eons ago. Here, his secret
long-lost sister still lived. With the help
of Loki, Thor opened the link between
this Tenth Realm and the other Nine
Realms, successfully arriving in
Heven. Upon learning of his Asgardian
heritage, the Angels attacked Thor,
and captured him thanks to the arrival
of Angela. As Loki seemingly joined
forces with the Angels to attack
Asgard, Thor managed to break free
and confront the Queen of Angels for
stealing his lost sister. Angela
confronted Thor once more, but the
fight was interrupted by the arrival of
Odin, who had been freed from his
self-imposed exile by Loki, and
recognized her as his daughter. Even
though Angela refused to go with the
Asgardians as she had been taught to
hate them her entire life, she was
exiled from Heven when her true
lineage was revealed. With the
mystery of his lost sister solved, Thor
returned to Earth to help the Avengers
investigate Uatu's murder. Later, while
fighting Nick Fury and his army of Life-
Model Decoys,Fury stopped Thor by
whispering him that Gorr the God-
Butcher was right about the gods
being selfish and not caring about
mortals. This caused Thor to lose his
confidence about his godhood and
consequently his ability to wield
Mjolnir.
After losing the ability to wield Mjolnir,
Thor took up his battle axe Jarnbjorn
as a substitute. Thor was affected by
the spell and later joined the evil
Avengers to battle the inverted X-Men.
Loki later tricked Thor into following
him to the Moon. There, Loki found
Mjolnir as it had been left after Thor
became unworthy. Using Mjolnir, Loki
became Thor and fought his half-
brother until (back on Earth) a
reinversion spell was cast, and Loki
became his old self once again and
when his guilt for past misdeeds
returned, he became unworthy as well.
On the Moon, Thor tried to claim his
hammer but was once more rejected
by it. Even Odin, the creator of the
worthiness enchantment of Mjolnir,
couldn't pick it up. During a battle
against Malekith and some Frost
Giants, he also lost his left arm (cut off
by Malekith with Jarnbjorn), and later
replaced it with a Black Uru arm
prosthesis. Later, an unknown woman,
who was secretly Jane Foster, proved
worthy of wielding Mjolnir, and became
the new Thor. After she had defeated
some of the Frost Giants assembled
by Malekith to raze the Earth, the
original Thor arrived to retrieve his
hammer. Odinson confronted her
wanting to know his mother
whereabouts as he suspected she had
something to do with it. Enraged,
Odinson attacked her and tried to take
Mjolnir back as it attacked the Frost
Giants that surrounded them, but it
went to its new owner's hands. Sad, he
accepted that he was never going to
recover his hammer, and asked if she
was his mother which she answered
by kissing him. Then they joined forces
and defeated the remaining Frost
Giants. After everything has been
resolved, Thor gave his name to her,
attending by Odinson only. Later,
when Odin tried to find out who was
the new owner of Mjolnir, Odinson told
his father Mjolnir belonged to the new
Thor now and to leave her be, as he
gave his name to her. However, Odin
insisted to find out the identity of the
new Thor. After that, Odinson made a
list of the people that might be the new
Thor and then investigated the
possibilities one by one.
When the decay of the Multiverse
started aggravating, the Odinson
joined Sunspot's Avengers to help him
find a way to stop it. Thor and the
other volunteer Avengers stepped into
a machine capable of transporting
individuals across the Multiverse, in
hopes of finding the source of its'
decay. Having acquired the Mjolnir of
an alternate version of Thor whose
hammer could only be lifted by the
unworthy instead of the worthy, Thor
unleashed it when he encountered the
Black Priests, once again wielding the
power he had possessed before
becoming unworthy. The Avengers
traveled across numerous universes,
navigating a map left by the
Mapmakers. After one last jump
across universes that cost Nightmask
his life, the Avengers found
themselves face to face with a fissure
in time and space. From it, two
Beyonders emerged and demanded
that the heroes fall back. Upon
denying their request, the Avengers
faced the Beyonders. In an attempt to
reprogram one of the Beyonders,
Abyss and the Ex Nihili sacrificed
themselves, turning the Beyonder into
a tree, and after being stabbed by the
second Beyonder, Star Brand used his
last breath to unleash the energy
within him and destroy it. Now the only
surviving Avengers, the Odinson and
Hyperion found themselves facing a
wave of countless Beyonders. Shortly
before facing the horde of Beyonders,
Odinson tried to recover Thorr's
Mjolnir, which he had dropped during
the previous fight. When he tried to lift
it, he found himself unable to do so,
meaning that he had become worthy
once more. Thor laughed at this, and
faced his death wielding Jarnbjorn
alongside Hyperion.
23
When the universe was restored, so
was Odinson and the rest of its
inhabitants with no memory of their
temporary demise. Having returned to
his status of unworthiness, Odinson
journeyed to the realm of Asgard after
learning from the Unseen, Nick Fury's
secret new identity, about the sudden
appearance of a Mjolnir from an
alternate reality. When he reached his
native realm, Odinson discovered the
City of Asgard had vanished, having
being captured by the Collector, who
had become interested in this second
Mjolnir. Beta Ray Bill joined Odinson to
help him find Asgard, but the Odinson
was captured by the Collector's forces.
Over the following months, Odinson
attempted numerous times to escape
and claim Mjolnir to no avail. In his
final escape attempt, Thor was
assisted by Beta Ray Bill, who had
managed to track down his friend, and
Thori, one of Collector's prisoners.
However, Odinson's obsession of
retrieving the hammer caused him to
slip into the Warrior's Madness,
making him attack and knocked out
Bill. Odinson, in turn, was knocked out
by Proxima Midnight, Black Swan, and
a cloaked individual (secretly the
Asgardian death god Hela), who had
all been sent by Thanos to retrieve the
hammer so Hela could present it to
Thanos as a tribute. After Odinson and
Bill came to, they fought off the
Collector's minions as they made their
way toward the City of Asgard. When
they arrived, they found the Collector
fighting Thanos' minions. Odinson and
Bill entered the fray. Thor managed to
make his way toward the hammer and
prepared to lift it but decided to leave it
alone believing it was never his
hammer to wield. Odinson then used
the hammer's teleportation function to
transport himself, his allies, the
Collector's captive creatures Thori
freed, and the entire City of Asgard
away from the Collector's ship and
back to the Asgard-realm. Odinson
later told Bill that the reason he didn't
lift the hammer was that he felt
unworthy to wield it as he thought all
gods like themselves were selfish
creatures, a consequence from his
fight with Gorr the God-Butcher. Bill
assured Odinson that he proved
himself to be the exception. At the time
when the Asgardians were competing
against the Shi'ar Gods, Odinson
returned even when the Phoenix Force
was unleashed.

Running Siegfried:
Siegfried was very arrogant, with a
tendency to act without thinking. He
was very brave, sometimes to the
point of stupidity in ignoring danger.
History:
Siegfried was the son of Sigmund and
his lover Sieglinde. Siegfried gained
the Ring of the Nibelung after killing
the giant Fafnir, who had taken
the form of a dragon. (This Fafnir
should not be confused with the
dragon Fafnir whom Thor has fought
several times over the years.)
Siegfried also gained the Tarn Helm,
which enabled its wearer to magically
appear as someone else. During the
battle with Fafnir, Siegfried
accidentally tasted some of Fafnir's
blood, which gave him the ability to
24
understand the speech of animals. It
also gave him the ability to read the
minds of those nearby.
Siegfried then fell in love with
Brunnhilde, a Valkyrie who had been
stripped of her godly abilities by Odin
when she had disobeyed his
commands. Using the last of her
powers, she enchanted Siegfried so
that he could be harmed only by
attacks from behind.
Siegfried was eventually killed by
Hagen, the son of Albreich, the dwarf
who had originally created the Ring
and placed a curse on it. Odin then
resurrected Siegfried as Thor, but Odin
wiped out all memories of his two
mortal identities.

Running “Red” Norvell:
Red is a 1980s man of action. He is
easily angered and thinks that not only
should Sif be 'his', but that if there is
going to be one Thor in Asgard, it
should be him. He has a nasty temper
and is second only to Odin when
unleashing it on others.
History:
Roger “Red” Norvell was part of a
documentary crew which Loki
smuggled into Asgard, realm of the
Norse gods. Smitten by the goddess
Sif, Red made advances but was
rebuffed. Red handled the rejection
poorly, convinced he could not
compete with Sif’s lover Thor. Loki
offered Red power equal to Thor, and
Red accepted, neither realizing they
were fulfilling Odin’s plan. Sometime
before, Odin had placed a copy of
Thor’s essence in Thor’s Iron Gloves,
Belt of Strength, and the Fires of
Geirrodur, so that he could empower
another were Asgard threatened in
Thor’s absence. More recently, Odin
had learned Loki and Hela were trying
to trigger the cataclysmic event
Ragnarok, which according to
prophecy would cause Thor’s death
fighting the Midgard Serpent; Odin
plotted creating another Thor to die in
his son’s place. Red donned the belt
and gloves and entered the fire,
emerging transformed into Thor’s
equal but mad with power. Red
challenged and defeated the true Thor,
and when Thor refused to yield, Red
fired a lethal energy bolt. Joey, the
documentary’s sound engineer, leapt
between them, and was killed. Partially
regaining his senses, Red told Sif he
would spare Thor if she left with him.
They traveled to Alfheim, where the
kidnapped Sif gradually talked Red
back to sanity. Realizing he would
never win her, Red returned to Asgard
to make amends, taking Thor’s place
battling the Serpent and dying; Red’s
spirit went to Valhalla.
When Odin and Thor became
estranged, Odin restored Red’s
powers, gave him his own Uru
hammer, and resurrected him. Red
became Asgard’s protector, battling
both the Hulk and the giant wolf
Hoarfen. When Thor returned to
confront Odin, the two Thors came to
blows, but Thor later gave Red his
blessing, recognizing his bravery and
acknowledging that both Asgard and
Midgard needed Thor protecting them.
Though Red’s feelings for Sif
remained, he accepted she would
never love him, and they became
friends.
To fool Ragnarok and prevent the
Egyptian death god Seth from
destroying them, Odin exiled the
Asgardian gods to Earth in mortal
form, unaware of their true identities.
Red retained his memories, but lost his
powers; however, when Thor regained
his powers, so did Red. They reunited
to find the missing Asgardians, but
before they could, Thor seemingly died
battling Onslaught. Red tracked down
three lost gods before Seth’s minions
killed him. This time Red went to
Seth’s domain, falling under his power.
When the Lost Gods traveled there,
Red captured them, but they escaped
and returned to Earth. Seth meanwhile
learned how to restore the Asgardians’
identities, and that if he destroyed the
25
world tree Yggdrasil afterwards, all the
Asgardians would die. Seth send Red
to carry out the first part, but when Red
restored the Asgardians, he also
resurrected himself, breaking Seth’s
hold. He hastily returned to Asgard
and helped stop Seth. Seconds after
Odin vanquished Seth, the
extraterrestrial Dark Gods launched a
sneak attack, capturing the
Asgardians. Presumably freed when
Thor later defeated the Dark Gods,
Red’s fate in light of the recent, final
Ragnarok is unknown.

ways with the web slinger, Bill set off
to find a new purpose on Earth. Led by
a series of peculiar and symbolic
dreams to Toronto, Canada, Bill
recently encountered the Canadian
superhero team Omega Flight, and
aided them against the supervillain
team the Wrecking Crew, who
released the supernatural Great
Beasts. During the battle, Talisman
sealed the evil entity Tanaraq in her
father's bag. Bill took it upon himself to
take the bag with him into the Realm of
the Great Beasts, where he became
trapped and was seemingly forced to
fight the demons for all eternity.
Through means unknown, Bill had
somehow become separated from his
mortal host and returned to his mortal
Korbinite body. He was also freed from
the Realm of the Great Beasts, but in
turn ended up as a prisoner of the
Skrulls. After running a gamut of
experiments on him and torture, they
shot Bill down to Asgard in his mortal
body with a warning that they would
attack Asgard soon. Although both
Thor and Balder believed Bill to be
real, the Asgardians had suspicions
that their alien visitor was a Skrull
agent in disguise, a fear preyed upon
by Loki, who riled the citizens up
enough so that they wanted to murder
Bill. Intervening for his friend, Thor
tossed Mjolnir to Bill, who successfully
caught the hammer and transformed
into his cyborg form, with Don Blake
stating that he 'knows a brother' when
he 'sees one'. Entrusting Bill with
helping Balder lead the Asgardians in
their fight against the Skrulls, Bill took
Don back to Broxton and returned just
as the alien invaders began their
assault on the city of Asgard. Bill and
Balder, along with the other warriors,
fought against the invading Skrull
armada that threatened Asgard. He
was soon confronted by a female
Super-Skrull, who was in possession
of an altered Stormbreaker that had
been sliced in half. Overpowered by
the Super-Skrull, Bill proved to be no
match for it. It was then, did Don Blake
arrive and, after turning into Thor,
fought the Skrull himself. When the
Skrull reforged Stormbreaker back into
one whole, she hurled the hammer
towards Broxton, barely stopped in
time by Bill's oathbrother. Thor, tossing
the hammer back to its rightful owner,
says that he is 'needed', and the two
go under Asgard to stop her.
After Asgard fell down and killed the
Skrull, both Thor and Bill lifted the city
back above the ground as it was
before. Thor then asked Bill to help
him battle the invasion elsewhere on
Earth, but he declines. He told them
that he was in 'limbo' and was
determined to find answers 'amongst
the stars'. With that, Bill parted ways
with his allies and returned to the
cosmos. During his time in space he
rescued the Remnants from a false
god, after which he met a group pf
alien monks who needed Bill's
protection. After arriving at their
meteorite home the monk's were
revealed to be Skrull's, and were the
same Skrulls who had previously
tortured Bill. They however had
repented and saw Bill as there new
god, which Bill refused to be seen as.
The attackers were then revealed to
be more Skrulls and after fighting the
newly made Warrior's Three Skrull.
After knocking out the attackers, Bill
left, with the monks proclaiming they
will try and join back with the others
and unite the Skrulls again. During the
Thanos Imperative and war with the
Cancerverse, Bill enters the
Cancerverse along with Gladiator, the
Silver Surfer, Ronan the Accuser, and
Quasar as part of Nova's elite squad to
find and rescue the prisoners of the
Cancerverse. He escaped before the
reality's destruction. Following the war
with the Cancerverse, and upon the
urging of Cosmo, Bill joined the
Annihilators.

Simon is a good and honest person,

up to the responsibility of wielding the
power of Thor.
History:
Simon Walterson was a college
football star at Mississippi State
University, eventually drafted to the
professional ranks. A severe knee
injury ended his football career. He
found a new reason for living in his
wife and their charity work. That is until
the death of his wife and their unborn
child. Simon fell into a deep
depression, and in an act of
desperation he sought out mystics,
medium, psychic, and fortune tellers
trying to speak to his wife one last
time. Simon finally found a witch with
an authentic connection to the afterlife,
and was able to speak with his wife
and learn about their unborn child.
Unfortunately, Simon was unable to
pay the witch for her service, and as a
punishment the witch cursed Simon to
transform into a frog.
Simon made his way to Central Park in
the heart of New York City, and began
a new life as an amphibian. He met
other frogs, was accepted into their
clan, and was given the name
Puddlegulp. Puddlegulp aided King
Glugwort during the frogs' war with the
rats. As the time of the Althing draws
near, the Asgardians wonder where
Thor is. He's on Earth having been
transformed into a frog, but is still a
warrior born. So when a rat attacks
him, he easily fights it off. Thor
befriends Puddlegulp, who leads him
to meet King Glugwort. Hildy and the
other kids discover Twilight, and that
Loki is up to something involving it.
Thor and Puddlegulp arrive in time to
drive off Ratso and some others, but
not in time to save the king. The other
frogs convince Thor to help them
against the rats, and Thor already has
a plan. In Asgard, the children tell
Heimdall of Twilight, and he suspects
Loki of even more deviousness. At the
Althing, the Grand Thane calls for the
sons of Odin to step forward. Loki is
there promptly, laughing to himself
about Thor's absence, until the
Thunder God steps forward as well.
Thor's plan to find the alligators in the
sewers is successful, except for the
presence of the Piper, who promptly
takes control of Thor's amphibian
body. To aid the frogs in Thor's battle
with the rats, Thor leads the alligators
to the surface. Back in Asgard, Loki is
suspicious of the Thor that has
appeared at the Althing, and follows
him and Heimdall back to Heimdall's
home. The alligators make short work
of the rats, and in Asgard Loki
discovers that the false Thor is really
Harokin. As Thor leaves the frogs,
Puddlegulp stops him and tells Thor is
secret. Thor returns to the alley and
lifts Mjolnir, transforming in a Thunder
Frog.
When Thor in the form of Sigurd
Jarlson is walking through Central
Park he is met by Puddlegulp and
some of the other Frogs of Central
Park. The children are astonished by
the fact that not only are the frogs
coming to Jarlson, but they also talk to
him as well. Jarlson explains that
these frogs are old friends of his. The
frogs tell Jarlson something troubling
indeed and when he tells the children
he has to leave they tell him that they
know he's really Thor. He's
astonished, however they say that
their father figured that Sigrud was
some super-hero, and that they got a
peak at Mjolnir that he's been carrying
in his gym bag while he was sleeping.
When they promise to keep his identity
a secret, Sigrud transforms himself
into Thor and rushes off into the
sewers below. Having been told by
Puddlegulp that there is a massacre
going on down there, Thor has
decided to investigate. Thor then
discovers the Morlocks massacred
perpetrated by the Marauders. Thor
left shortly after defeating the rats, but
unbeknownst to him, he was followed
by some rats. Puddlegulp followed to
warn him, and witnessed the frog lift
Mjolnir and wield of the power of the
god of thunder. However, a sliver of
Mjolnir broke off when Toothgnasher
tapped it with his hoof. Once Thor
departed, Puddlegulp was able to lift
the silver which transformed into a
miniature Mjolnir and granted the
power of Thor to Puddlegulp.

Puddlegulp became Throg, Frog of
Thunder, and wielder of the mighty
Frogjolnir.
When Reed Richards is looking for the
Infinity Gems so that they do not fall
into the wrong hands. Instead they fall
into the mouth of Lockjaw, who
decides that he will form his own team
of heroes to find the lost gems. Joining
him are Throg, Lockheed, Redwing,
Hairball, and Ms. Lion. Looking for a
second gem leads them to the Savage
Land, and a T-Rex. They find
themselves in the Savage Land face-
to-face with a T-Rex. Zabu arrives and
helps them run off the dinosaur and is
invited to join the team. They sense
the location of the next gem in the past
so they transport into the prehistoric
past and run into Devil Dinosaur, who
happens to be protecting its nest,
which inconveniently is the location of
the gem. They manage to distract
Devil Dinosaur while Lockjaw and Ms.
Lion get the gem. They then transport
themselves back to the present, only
they appear over the open ocean.
They crash into the ocean, but are
saved by Namor's Honor Guard turtles,
who agree to help them find two more
of the gems. Unfortunately, they are
inside Giganto. The turtles flee and
Hairball finally freaks out about so
much water, waking up Giganto, who
swallows them. Inside, Ms. Lion finds
the gems, and they teleport away to
the location of the final gem, the White
House. The final gem is located in the
Bo's collar. Bo takes off barking out the
front door, and the Pet Avengers
follow, only to run headlong into
Thanos. He was the previous owner of
the Gems when united as the Infinity
Gauntlet, intervenes and kills Ms. Lion.
The other animals are angered by this
act and use the Gems to strand
Thanos in an alternate dimension and
subsequently revive their comrade.
Retrieving the final Gem, the group
decides to separate, but not before
Throg advises that they now share a
psychic link and will reunite if needed.
Ms. Lion resurrected by Hairball via
the Soul Gem dubs the group the Pet
Avengers. The series concludes with
Lockjaw presenting the Gems to a
surprised Reed Richards.
The Pet Avengers assemble after
Throg goes missing. Throg had been
suffering an identity crisis over being
both an animal and a mythic hero, and
thus feeling at home neither among
frogs nor among human heroes, and
set out to find other mythical creatures
who might understand his concerns.
His search leads him, and
subsequently the Pet Avengers, to the
discovery of a community of mythical
creatures under threat. Throg and the
Pet Avengers come to their aid, and
Throg gains a renewed sense of his
place in the world. The Pet Avengers
stop the robbery of a candy store, ,
then telepathically recognizing the
distress of The Avengers, teleport
themselves to Thor, Captain America,
and Iron Man only to find they have
been turned to frogs. The villain was
Fin Fang Foom followed by a legion of
Dragons who then proceed to swallow
everyone but Lockheed. The teams
escaped the dragons only to find them.
Suddenly, they received an emergency
message from Commander Steve
Rogers about the dragons attacking
Xi'an. Arriving in China, Lockheed
convinced his friends to help Foom,
revealing that the dragons were
looking from Makluan eggs. While the
rest of the team kept the Avengers at
bay, Throg used his abilities to give the
dragons access to the dragon egg
cavern. After the dragons escaped, he
attempted to explain himself and
apologize, but Thor congratulated him
on job well done.

Running Dargo:
The futuristic Thor is a brave young
man who is not as serious as the
original Thor. His speech is sometimes
grand (not pseudo-Shakespearian),
mixed with futuristic slang ("Say, flash
that!").
History:
In the year 2587, Earth will not be as it
is today. The city of New York will lie in
ruins, and a new power will rise in
place of the old. The Corporation is
now the ruler of the land and enslaver
of the people. There are no costumed
heroes to defend the helpless. There
are only stories of those who used to
exist, and the hero who will be deemed
the greatest hero of them all is the
Thunder god, Thor. A rebel cult that
worships the son of Odin has found
Mjolnir, the hammer of Thor, and they
29
have been searching for one worthy
enough to lift it and claim the power of
Thor so that they may be freed of the
Corporation’s tyranny.
Dargo Ktor was a part of that cult, but
his faith was not as strong as the
others. He expected those who
attempted to lift Mjolnir to fail, and he
believed the stories of Thor to be fairy
tales. The Chairman of the Corporation
unknowingly hired Loki, God of
mischief, to unearth and annihilate the
rebels, and Loki was happy to do so.
Loki, along with Tyrus, leader of the
Rock Trolls, discovered the cult's
secret meeting place and set their
horde loose on the unsuspecting
group, killing all in their path. Dargo
instinctively reached for a weapon to
defend his people when his hands
found the handle of Mjolnir. No sooner
than he grabbed it, the power of Thor
flooded into his body, and he was
transformed into the Thunder god.
Thor easily pushed back the invaders,
but Dargo was confused by his
newfound power and had to clear his
head. With the people's faith stronger
than ever, they decided to protest
against the Corporation feeling that
Thor would protect them. Dargo,
unsure of his new role, decided that he
would not let his people stand alone
against the forces of evil. Arriving as
the protesters were attacked by Corp
soldiers and Loki's forces, Dargo did
all he could to protect the cultists.
Tyrus, having faced the true Thor,
knew Dargo was an imposter, and his
suspicions were confirmed as Mjolnir
refused to obey its new master. Fraud
or not, Dargo defeated Tyrus just as
Loki killed the Corp's Chairman and
destroyed their facilities. With the
threat of the Corporation gone forever,
Dargo used Mjolnir to open a portal
and threw the hammer into it feeling
that it would find its rightful owner.
Dargo and Salla looked to the future,
and they hoped that those who would
go on to form a new tomorrow would
prove themselves worthy.
In the year 2591, Dargo has somehow
gained possession of Mjolnir again and
has resumed his responsibilities as
Thor. He was sought out by Zarrko,
the Tomorrow Man and tricked into
traveling to the past in order to battle
Eric Masterson, the Thor of the
present. Zarrko tricked Dargo by telling
him that Masterson would somehow
be responsible for the execution of
Dargo's timeline, and therefore, the
death of his wife Salla. Dargo attacked
Masterson, already in battle with the
cosmic powerhouse Stellaris, and was
surprised that they were so evenly
matched. Zarrko revealed that his plan
was to siphon off the energy of the two
Thor’s enchanted hammers in order to
power his Radical Time Stabilizer, so
he would become the undisputed
master of time. The fighting between
the Thor's continued which alerted
Beta Ray Bill to the violence, and he
journey to Earth to stop them. He told
them that they are "Hammer Brothers"
since they have both proven
themselves to be worthy enough to
wield Mjolnir, and they should band
together to stop their mutual enemy.
Reluctantly, Masterson joined Dargo
and Bill and pursued Zarrko back to
his ship. Once inside, the members of
the newly formed Thor Corps were put
to the test by Zarrko when he pulled
various enemies of the Thunder god
out of the time stream to stop them.
Despite all of his tricks, Zarrko caused
his own downfall when he pulled Loki
out of the time stream and attempted
to command him as one of his other
servants. Zarrko's ship, along with his
Radical Time Stabilizer, was about to
explode after Loki destroyed the
controls, but Beta Ray Bill managed to
send Dargo, Masterson and himself
back to each perspective timeline they
originated from before that happened.
On July 29th, 2593 A.D., Dargo will
eventually be forced into reuniting with
Beta Ray Bill and Eric Masterson, now
known as Thunderstrike, by his
archenemy, Demonstaff. Together, the
Thor Corps will have a time traveling,
dimension hopping adventure to
ensure the survival of Dargo's wife,
Salla, and that of the entire universe
as well. It can be assumed that Dargo,
having returned to his timeline, still
fights for the people using the power of
Thor. Sometime later, Salla was killed
by Loki, and Dargo joined a new
incarnation of Avengers - Deva Van
Dyne, Hercules, Tannan Six, Tatiana
Maximoff and Thaddeus Stark - to
battle him.

Running Thunderstrike:
Eric was a “everyman” hero. His
extremely human POV made him
seem like a fish out of water. Despite
the length of time he spent around
heroes like the Avengers, he was
nervous or feel out of place. His
nervousness caused him to speak out
of turn, or to lash out in frustration at
his allies while he tried to gain control
of his emotions. In addition, Eric
sometimes displayed a naivety
unexpected by a man his age. He was
taken advantage of by both his allies
and enemies in battle and other
situations.
History:
Eric Masterson was an architect who
became friends with Thor when he
occupied the identity of Sigurd Jarlson.
After Eric was badly wounded trying to
help Thor fight Mongoose, Thor asked
Odin to merge their life forces. The
end result was two men within one
body. They often fought for control
over the body, and eventually Eric lost
custody of his son Kevin because of
his absences. After Loki was thought
to have been slain by Thor, Odin
banished him, and Thor's power was
bestowed upon Masterson. Although
he tried to hide it, Eric's inexperience
soon showed. However, Masterson
began to master his new abilities and
soon replaced Thor in the Avengers.
Odin finally freed Thor from
banishment, and thought it best for
Eric to stay as his replacement, but
Odin eventually made Eric his own
weapon, a mace called Thunderstrike.
Because he could think of nothing
better to call himself, he took the name
of his mace as his moniker. He
eventually found the powers of
Thunderstike were different from those
of Mjolnir. After he found out his
nemesis Bloodaxe was really his
girlfriend Jackie Lukas, he took the
Bloodaxe, the name of the weapon as
well as the villain, and used it along
with the Thunderstike Mace to kill
Seth, the Egyptian god of death.
However, he was corrupted by the
power of the Bloodaxe and went on a
rampage. After battling Thor, Eric
regained control and turned the
Thunderstrike against the Bloodaxe,
killing him in the process. Thor wanted
his best friend to go to Valhalla for his
heroism, but Eric said he was a man
first and a hero second, and was sent,
by Odin, to his own afterlife. On his
gravestone Thor inscribed "THE
WORLD STILL NEEDS HEROES."

Running Thunderstrike:
Kevin desperately wants to fill the
shoes of his father and is working hard
to do just that.
History:
Kevin is the only child of Eric and
Marcy Masterson. He is one of the few
people to whom his father revealed his
dual identity as Thunderstrike.
Circumstances brought Thor into their
lives and saw his father become
increasingly involved in a world of
gods and supervillains. This went so
far as to have Eric become Thor when
the actual God of Thunder
disappeared. However, all of this
strained Eric's ability to be a father to
Kevin, and it was not long before
custody of him was taken by his
mother and her new husband Bobby
Steele, quarterback for the New York
Smashers.
At the Maria Stark Academy, long after
his father died, Kevin Masterson is
31
apparently at it again, fighting another
student. After his mother and step-
father pick him up, they try to talk to
him, but he's again not listening. After
walking off alone, he is met by Sharon
Carter, who takes him to meet Captain
America. Rogers informs him that he
recently came into possession of an
item and believed it should be given to
its rightful owner - the Thunderstrike
mace. Kevin picks it up expecting to be
transformed, but nothing happens.
Feeling like he's being taken
advantage of, he has Sharon drop him
off. As Kevin tries to figure out what to
do now, the Rhino attacks an armored
vehicle, causing a woman and her
child to become trapped in a flaming
car. While trying to use the mace as a
prybar to help get the child out after
another bystander has saved the
mother, the car explodes. Strangely,
Kevin is all right and has protected the
child, but he has also transformed, into
seemingly his father Eric Masterson's
Thunderstrike form.
Determined to avoid the fate of his
father, Kevin considers his options
until he receives a visit from the
beautiful Gruenhilda the Valkyrie who
has been sent to teach him the proper
way to use an Asgardian super-
weapon, knowledge that he field-tests
when a mysterious collector sends a
high tech strike-force to steal the
mace. With Gruenhilda criticizing his
every move, the man who would be
Thunderstrike begins a quest to
recover his stolen mace. Along the
way, he adopts a daring different
persona, uncovers a plot to invade
Mount Olympus, and soon finds
himself in a fight for his life against a
super-powered Demigod who is on a
mission of vengeance. Thunderstrike
and Gruenhilda are traumatized by an
unexpected death when they suddenly
run into one of the greatest super-
menaces of all Mangog the merciless.
To save the universe from the
Mangog, he must now join forces with
the Mighty Avengers, the team that he
believes betrayed his father.
Kevin ends up teleported onto a
station in the middle of the Pacific
Ocean with Spider-Girl, Victor Alvarez,
Amadeus Cho and X-23. They arrive
on the Hell-Carrier, a Helicarrier that
was used during World War II.
Amadeus and Kevin were initially
antagonistic towards each other and
would have likely come to blows
except for the intervention of Victor,
who separated the two, at least for a
time, until Amadeus managed to cause
the Thunderstrike mace to tap the
ground, thus changing Kevin back to
his non-powered state. Angered, Kevin
struck Amadeus' head, changing back
to his Thunderstrike state. Anya tried
to step between them while X-23
watched, but all were interrupted when
Victor explained that he had tried to
use his powers to absorb the ambient
chi in order to power up, but since
there was no life force around them,
he instead suffered a backlash. He did,
however, detect a message in a bio-
electric frequency being transmitted in
a language he had never heard before.
The message was translated for them
by the Shark Men as; "In their Dread
House the warriors of the king of
darkness wait dreaming."
They continued their message saying
that now that the stars were right, they
rise with the king and make them their
first sacrifice to him. Differences
momentarily set aside due to the
emergence of a common enemy, the
five young heroes join together to fight
off this new threat. While they fight,
Amadeus explains to them that the
Shark Men came into being after they
sensed the presence of the one they
called the 'Dark King' and worshipped
him. They became the enemies of the
Atlanteans, and were defeated by
Namor the Sub-Mariner during World
War II and driven back to their city,
where waited for their dark god to
return.
Amadeus managed to convince the
others to follow his lead as he directed
them in combat. They manage to
defeat the initial wave of enemies, only
to realize that the carrier is picking up
speed. Lamenting that they should all
be elsewhere, Amadeus reveals to
them that the five of them are each the
latest manifestation of an eternal
archetype's and that they must work
together as a team. He also reveals
that his research has uncovered that
the Hell-Carrier was trying to complete
its final mission and that they needed
to work together to stop it. At that point
the other four realized it was Amadeus
himself who had pulled them from
where they were and brought them to
the carrier. As they seized him, he
quickly explains that the carrier is on a
collision course for Honolulu and will
crash there, killing everyone on board
unless they stop it.
Realizing they have no other choice,
Spider-Girl asks Amadeus how to
proceed. He informs them that the
whole ship is powered by a kind of
anti-life force called Vril. Victor detects
that the source of it was directly below
them, but that since none of them
could fly, they had no way of getting to
it. X-23 then begins to rip into the ship
with her Adamantium claws. Amadeus
then directs Victor to try to use his
powers to power up X-23, which he
does, causing another painful backlash
on both of them but, allowing them to
get below deck quicker.
While X-23 and Victor continue to
make their way to the source,
Thunderstrike, Amadeus, and Anya
were forced to repel another attack of
the Shark Men. Despite their best
efforts, the three would have been
overwhelmed, but X-23 and Victor
reached the source in time, and Victor
unloaded all of his remaining Chi
energy into it, causing it to explode
before it could hit Honolulu, and the
five landed into a media frenzy, which,
in turned out, Amadeus knew would be
there and it was why he had chosen
that particular moment to bring them
altogether. Amadeus says that they
had scored a major PR victory and that
the people wanted them to stay
together, at which point X-23 kicked
him in the groin from behind and the
other four walked away, leaving the
question of whether or not the five
would continue as a team
unanswered. Kevin is part of the new
class of students when the Avengers
Academy moves to the former
headquarters of the West Coast
Avengers.

Running Thor Girl:
Despite her cosmic origins, Tarene
acts like a typical teenager not wanting
to listen to authority or adults, wanting
to prove herself and take care of things
on her own. As Thor Girl she tries to
emulate Thor as much as possible, it's
more trying than doing.
History:
In the beginning of time, alien sorcerer
X'Hoss foretold the creation of the
Designate, who would help evolve
sentient beings to the next level of
existence. Billions of years later,
Tarene was born. She was told about
the fate of the evil Destroyer and
together with others sought a way to
stop him. In the meantime, Thanos
obtained X'Hoss' knowledge and
destroyed Tarene's home-world. She
gained the help of Thor and Orikal in
defeating the villain. Tarene later
transformed herself into an Asgardian
goddess and becomes Thor's loyal
ally, taking the name "Thor Girl" and
the civilian identity of Jake Olson's
'cousin' Tara. She tried to assist Thor
in his adventures, aiding him in his
confrontations with Gladiator, Loki and
Nullitor, but in a later battle against a
revived Surtur she sacrificed nearly all
of her cosmic powers to contribute the
additional power needed to defeat him.
Upon Odin's apparent death, Thor Girl
lost most of her cosmic powers. She
retained the powers she had as Thor
Girl. She returned to Earth in an
attempt to live a normal life as Tara
Olson, but also occasionally continued
adventuring. She knew that she was
destined to, and one day would, regain
her full power and then some, to
become The Designate.
After the Superhuman Registration Act
was passed, Thor Girl interfered in a
jewel theft undertaken by the Grey
Gargoyle, a previous foe of hers, and
pummelled the villain, preventing the
jewel heist in the process. In return the
Grey Gargoyle undertook a law suit
with the assistance of Mallory Book at
the Superhuman Law Offices of
Goodman, Lieber, Kurtzberg and
Holliway. Thor Girl was among the first
recruits for the Camp Hammond
training facility. Other fellow trainees
included Bengal, Cloud 9, Slapstick,
Trauma, Armory, Rage and Komodo.
When Manhattan was attacked by the
Hulk, the Initiative recruits were sent
as crowd control in, with Thor Girl
aiding mass evacuation. Thor Girl was
among the trainees who sided with
Rage when he broke ranks to help the
Avengers in battle against the Hulk
and his Warbound. Easily defeated,
Thor Girl and the others were
imprisoned at Madison Square Garden
and controlled by obedience disks.
The Initiative's black ops team,
including the empathic metamorph
Trauma, were sent in to free Thor Girl
and her compatriots. Trauma assumed
the form and powers of Thor as he
battled the Warbound, leaving Thor
Girl awestruck by the encounter.
Following Trauma's assumption of
Thor's form, Thor Girl expressed a kind
of hero worship of and became
enamoured with him. However both
Tarene and Trauma were brutally
attacked by the MVP clone calling
himself KIA (Killed In Action). Tarene
was stricken heavily while protecting
Trauma, who was then stabbed in the
chest by KIA.
At some point Thor Girl was replaced
by a Skrull agent. During the Skrull
invasion, the Skrull Dum Dum Dugan
called all the sleeper agents in the
Initiative, causing Ultragirl and Thor
Girl to fight each other out of fear.
When the Skrull Kill Krew arrived to
the scene, 3-D Man confirmed that
Thor Girl was a Skrull, killing her with
her own hammer with the help of
Gravity. After the invasion was over,
the real Thor Girl attended a support
group meeting with the others who had
been replaced by Skrulls. She
attended a therapy session with
Trauma, when Camp Hammond was
attacked by the Thor clone, Ragnarok.
The clone beat Thor Girl badly, until
Gauntlet intervened. Due to looking
like an Asgardianan wielding a
hammer, Tarene was believed to be
part of the attack of The Worthy. She
was arrested by the U. S. government
and tortured for information. She was
eventually rescued by Cloud 9 and
joined the battle against Kuurth in Las
Vegas and rescued civilians. Due to a
misunderstanding she was attacked by
33
other heroes despite her attempts to
explain herself or she was only acting
in defense. During the battle, her
Designate powers returned. She
declared Earth's heroes to be little
better than those who tortured her and
as a whole proof that humanity is still
too flawed to be worthy of ascending.
She left Earth for the stars.

Running Thor:
Jane spent most of her life taking care
of others at the expense of the things
she wanted. Once she became a
nurse, she took on greater duties
putting her wants aside to help others.
Eventually she became a Doctor and a
mother. Once she was diagnosed with
Breast Cancer, Jane assumed that her
ability to help others was over and
then she wielded, for a time at least,
the power of Thor and in an effort to
help others she took up the power, but
at the cost of her health as the longer
she became Thor, the more the her
chemotherapy was undone, costing
her her health and eventually her life.
History:
Jane Foster's mother died of cancer
when she was nine years old.
Following this tragedy, her father, a
plumber, worked two jobs in order for
her to go through medical school,
exhausting himself. Nevertheless, he
managed to give Jane a good
childhood, never missing a softball
game, forgetting a birthday or failing to
encourage her in anything she could
set her mind to. However, Jane's
father later died from complications
from a heart attack. She became a
nurse hired by Dr. Donald Blake to
assist him in his private medical
practice. Actually, the crippled Dr.
Donald Blake was the human identity
used for many years by the Asgardian
god, Thor. Jane and Blake traveled to
San Diablo during a civil war between
a communist faction and a democratic
faction. Because of the fighting, there
was a shortage of medical help in San
Diablo, and several American doctors
interceded. They battled the
Executioner who tried to destroy the
medical supplies. Thor was able to
stop him and they helped the people of
San Diablo. Blake fell deeply in love
with Foster, who was unaware of his
dual-identity. She was infatuated with
Thor, whom she had not yet met in his
godly identity, but took a protective
attitude toward him, worrying about his
health and frailty. She would regularly
gush over Thor's exploits, much to
Blake's annoyance, causing him to
wonder if Jane would ever love a
normal man like him.
Loki, taking on the guise of an old
man, entered Donald Blake's office
and hypnotized Jane and gave her
secret commands. He then entered
Donald's office, and when Don
reported for work, he found Loki
waiting for him and changed into Thor.
Loki challenged the Thunder God to a
contest in Central Park, a challenge
that Thor accepted before Loki left.
Changing back into Donald Blake he
told Jane that he was leaving for the
34
afternoon, unaware that Jane was
about to enact Loki's hypnotic
suggestions upon his departure. At
Central Park, as Thor battled Loki, he
was unaware that Jane was still under
Loki's thrall and wandering in the area.
Loki then transformed a tree into a
tiger which he set upon Jane, and
turned the Thunder God's attention to
Jane's situation. Thor had two options:
grab his returning hammer, Mjolnir, or
save Jane. With no choice, Thor chose
the latter, and after dealing with the
mystical tiger, he reverted back into
Blake. When Blake attempted to
recover his weapon, Loki put a magical
force field around it, preventing Blake
from changing back into Thor. With his
enemy apparently defeated, Loki
transformed into a bird and flew away,
planning to conquer the Earth. Blake
revived Jane and took her back home;
meanwhile Loki used his magic to
terrorize the people of New York City.
Jane later witnessed Thor's return and
the defeat of Loki.
Jane and Donald were kidnapped by
Thug Thatcher, but Blake escaped and
became Thor. Blake contemplated
revealing his true identity as Thor to
Jane in the hopes of winning her love.
However, right when he was about to
tell her, Odin contacted Thor
telepathically and warned him against
doing so. One normal day as Jane left
Dr Blake's office for an errand, she
passed a wounded jewel thief and his
two partners. They entered Blake's
office and demanded treatment.
Distracting them, Blake tapped his
cane and transformed into Thor.
Strapping the criminals to an operating
table with surgical tape, he attached it
to his magic hammer and "threw" the
criminals to the police station. Dr.
Blake prepared to use a rubber
hammer on a patient's knee. As Jane
assured the patient Dr. Blake was
skilled with using a mallet, Blake
thought to himself that she does not
know the half of it. Although Foster
was strongly attracted to Dr. Blake,
she left his medical practice and began
working for a Doctor Bruce Andrews
when Blake did not try and rescue her
during the Lava Man's attack on the
city. However, she later returned after
the Cobra attacked and Bruce
submitted to him and she felt he was a
coward. Don Blake was next
approached by discredited scientist
Calvin Zabo for a job. When Blake
refused to hire him, Zabo began
experimenting on himself, creating a
serum that transformed him into a
monstrous form. Calling himself Mister
Hyde, Zabo sought to revenge against
Blake. Meanwhile, Thor continued to
petition Odin to allow him to marry
Jane Foster, to no avail. However Odin
told Thor that should Jane prove
herself to be brave, he would make her
an immortal. When Mr. Hyde attacked
Blake's office, Thor was there to stop
him. In response, Hyde began
committing robberies disguised as
Thor. Afterward, Blake decided to
reveal his dual-identity to Foster, but
his father, Odin, monarch of Asgard,
appeared to him and forbade him to
reveal this secret to any mortal. Even
though Odin tried for a long time to
quash the romance between the two,
he ordered her life to be saved when
she lay dying after an explosion
caused by a battle between Thor and
Mister Hyde and Cobra.
Foster truly loved Blake, and one day
she told him angrily that she would not
wait forever for him to declare his love
to her. Thor intended to marry Foster,
but then Odin forbade him to marry her
on the grounds that she was a mortal,
not a goddess. Thor later asked Odin
to reconsider the issue, and Odin
relented, saying that Thor could marry
her if she proved herself worthy. The
superhuman criminal Mister Hyde,
seeking vengeance against Blake,
captured both him and Foster, and
made Blake a prisoner in a room with
a bomb. Blake escaped and, as Thor,
battled Hyde; but Foster, fearing that
only Hyde could save Blake's life by
deactivating the bomb, helped Hyde to
escape. Outraged by this seeming
betrayal against his son, Odin rejected
Thor's petition to marry Foster. Foster
was menaced repeatedly by enemies
of Thor who either knew he was Blake,
or knew there was some connection
between Thor and Blake. Such
assailants included Hyde and his
partner, the Cobra; his bitter foster-
brother Loki; and the Enchantress and
her partner, the original Executioner;
as well as the journalist Harris Hobbs.
As Thor rescued her from these many
perils over time, Foster fell deeply in
love with him. Finally, Thor defied Odin
and revealed his dual-identity to
Foster. Foster left America and took a
position with a man who proved to be
the High Evolutionary. Thor followed
her to the High Evolutionary's citadel at
Wundagore Mountain, where they
were reunited. Again petitioning Odin
to let him marry Foster, Thor brought
her to Asgard itself, a place forbidden
to mortals. Odin agreed to let them
marry if Foster proved herself capable
of functioning as an Asgardian
goddess. Odin then physically
transformed Foster into an Asgardian,
granting her superhuman powers. As
Odin must have expected, Foster was
confused and bewildered by her new
abilities and by Asgard itself. Declaring
that Foster had failed his test, Odin
turned her back into a mortal woman,
sent her back to Earth, and removed
her memories of her experiences with
Thor. Odin sent Foster to work for the
physician Dr. Keith Kincaid, and the
two soon fell in love with each other.
As for Thor, Odin saw to it that he was
reunited the Asgardian goddess Sif,
whom he had loved in the past, and
their romance was quickly rekindled.
Years later, Foster fell ill and, lying
close to death, called out to Thor in her
delirium. Sif stole the enchanted
Runestaff of Kamo Tharnn, the Elder
of the Universe known as the
Possessor, and used it to infuse her
own life-force into Foster, thereby
saving her life. Sif vanished, and
Foster recovered, also regaining full
possession of her lost memories of
Thor. The love between Thor and
Foster revived, but soon she was
captured by trolls under the leadership
of Thor's enemy Ulik. To Thor's
surprise, Foster succeeded in
capturing the troll king, Geirrodur, with
his own spear; Thor himself defeated
Ulik. Thereafter, Foster insisted on
accompanying Thor on various
exploits, traveling with him to the
dimension of the god of Heliopolis, to
the alternate future Earth ruled by the
Tomorrow Man, and to the war-torn
nation of Costa Verde. After some
time, Foster finally insisted on
accompanying Thor to Asgard. There,
the Asgardian Grand Vizier presented
her with Sif's sword and when she
struck it against a wall, she was
seemingly transformed into Sif. The
Vizier theorized that Foster and Sif had
become one being, and that Sif would
be dominant in Asgard, and Foster on
Earth. Yet when Sif returned to Earth
many months later, she did not
transform into Foster. Eventually, Dr.
Kincaid launched an investigation into
35
the whereabouts of Foster, whom he
had not seen since her hospitalization.
Thor revealed his dual-identity to
Kincaid and explained what had
happened to Foster. Thor and Sif took
Kincaid with them on a journey to the
world of Kamo Tharnn. It turned out
that when Sif infused Foster with her
life-force, Sif's own spirit and body had
actually passed through the Runestaff
and into another dimension. When Sif
reappeared in Asgard, Foster took her
place in the other dimension entered
through the Runestaff. But when Kamo
Tharnn somehow absorbed the
denizens of the latter world into his
own body, Sif and Thor used the
Runestaff to release the beings
trapped within the Possessor,
including Foster. Thor and Sif brought
Foster and Kincaid back to Earth, and
Foster and Kincaid were married
almost immediately afterward.
Since then, Thor has saved Foster's
life from the creature called the Zaniac.
Foster has given birth to her first child,
a boy named Jimmy. The world at
large remains unaware of Foster's past
relationship with Thor, although a few
enterprising individuals have learned
of their connection. Jane eventually
became a doctor, and working
alongside Thor in New York when the
Odinson was secretly using the body
of EMT Jake Olsen. She also became
a consulting physician for Tony Stark.
During the Civil War, she opposed the
Registration Act and joined the Secret
Avengers, treating many of the
members. Some time later, she was
visited by the Warriors Three to be
informed about Thor's death after his
battle against the Serpent. After
hearing rumors of the return of Dr.
Donald Blake and Thor, Jane divorced
her husband and subsequently lost
custody of their child. Blake visited
Jane at her work in a New York City
hospital in search of Lady Sif, whose
spirit Blake mistakenly thought had
been reborn in Jane since their spirits
had been merged once before. Jane
and Blake go on a date after an initially
turbulent reuniting. Jane discovered
that Sif's spirit had actually been
reborn in the body of a dying elderly
cancer patient that was under her
care. She alerted Blake and Thor who
managed to restore Sif just before the
patient died. Jane then traveled to
Broxton, Oklahoma, the site of the
resurrected City of Asgard, and
opened a medical practice with Blake.
While Thor was away fighting Gorr the
God Butcher, Jane was diagnosed
with breast cancer. She later accepted
Thor's invitation to represent Midgard
(Earth) in the Congress of Worlds on
Asgard while she underwent therapy,
but refused magical treatments. During
a battle against Nick Fury, Thor lost
the ability to wield his hammer Mjolnir.
The hammer remained unattended on
the Moon, from where it telepathically
sought Jane out. Jane eventually gave
in to the hammer's call, and requested
Heimdall to take her to the hammer's
location. Once there, Jane picked up
Mjolnir, gaining Thor's powers and
transforming and improving her
physique. Since she had watched Thor
use his hammer, Jane slowly learned
how to use Mjolnir by example. Jane
soon found herself in the middle of
Malekith the Accursed's alliance with
Frost Giants, who were planning on
bringing Laufey back to life. The
original Thor soon caught up with
Jane, demanding to have his hammer
back. Thor ultimately accepted that the
hammer had a new owner, and gave
Jane his blessing, while still not
knowing her identity. He also gave
Jane his name, and subsequently went
by Odinson only. When she tried to
stop Malekith from making a deal with
Dario Agger for Laufey's skull, Thor
was suddenly attacked by Cul Borson,
who possessed the Destroyer Armor,
under orders from Odin to retrieve
Mjolnir. Although Cul briefly managed
to take Mjolnir from her, Thor
summoned it back to her hand.
Odinson, Freyja, and an army of the
women he had identified as possible
suspects for the new Thor's identity,
arrived on scene and helped turn the
tide of battle in Thor's favor, ultimately
forcing the Destroyer to retreat. Thor's
identity remained a mystery for
Odinson and the rest of the world.
During the final incursion, Jane was
one of the heroes that tried to stop
Earth-1610 from destroying her Earth.
After the vessel transporting the
Earth's "resurrection team" was
destroyed by the Children, Mr.
Fantastic was forced to put the Future
Foundation's Life Raft in action. As the
Life Raft was deployed, Manifold
teleported numerous heroes into it
including Spider-Man, Star-Lord,
Captain Marvel, and Cyclops, and
Jane herself, which allowed them to
survive the end of the Multiverse. Thor
and the other heroes transported onto
the life raft were awakened by Doctor
Strange eight years after the end of
the multiverse and the creation of
Battleworld, a planet cobbled together
by segments of destroyed realities
created and ruled by Doctor Doom.
Thor and the others were later
teleported by Strange to confront the
Cabal after a distress call was sent to
him by one member of the Thor Corps,
and after this Doom himself appeared
to quell the fighting. When Doom tried
to kill them, Doctor Strange teleported
them across Battleworld, but at the
cost of his own life. Jane then decided
to infiltrate the Thor Corps to turn them
against Doom with the help of the Thor
of Higher Avalon and eventually
succeeded and led them to
Doomstadt, where they confronted the
Barons defending the castle, and led
to the restoration of the Multiverse.
Foster remained in Asgardia as a
senator in the Congress of Worlds,
and as Thor she remained a fugitive
pursued by Cul. Odinson was
considered missing. She became
involved in the war between
Svartalfheim, realm of the Dark Elves,
and Alfheim, realm of the Light Elves
and encountered several incarnations
of Loki. After the elf races struck a deal
by wedding their respective monarchs,
Thor returned to Asgard to confront the
power-mad Odin, who had Frigga on
trial. Loki and Thor arrived at the point
when the All-Mother was about to be
placed on a verdict by Odin. The
rebellious Asgardian warriors also
made their way into the hall fighting
Cul's Thunderguard. Thor and Odin
got into a crunching battle that
wandered across Saturn's moons
while it was revealed that Loki was a
spy for Frigga. Loki then stabbed
Frigga halting the battles at hand. Thor
was once again a member of the
Avengers. She appeared by chance in
their encounter with Warbringer and
subsequently agreed to help form a
new official Avengers group. Her
identity was unknown to her
teammates until she was separated
from the hammer when she was
transferred a few days into the future
by Kang the Conqueror, and Sam
Wilson, the new Captain America,
witnessed her as she reverted to Jane.
36
He agreed to keep it secret, even
visiting her during chemotherapy so
that she could have a friend to talk to.
Unfortunately for Jane, all progress
from chemotherapy became lost
whenever she used Mjolnir to
transform into Thor. Since the magical
transformation purged all toxins from
Jane's body, it did so to the
chemotherapy drugs, but left the
cancer behind since it was part of her
body. As Jane found herself having to
transform into Thor more often, her
cancer metastasized and reached
stage four. Jane was told by Doctor
Strange that if she became Thor one
last time, she would die. He and
several of her friends convinced Jane
to give up being Thor for the sake of
her health. That changed, though,
when Jane learned that the city of
Asgardia was flying towards the Sun
due to the actions of the Mangog, who
wanted to kill off all the Asgardians.
She chose to become Thor one last
time to save Asgardia, even if it killed
her, and went on to confront Mangog.
Jane received a brutal beating from
Mangog despite her best efforts. She
resorted to hurling Mangog into the
Sun, but Mangog was able to return to
Asgardia to continue his rampage. In
order to finally stop Mangog, she tied
him up with chains originally created to
bind the Fenris Wolf before tying the
chains to Mjolnir and hurling the
hammer into the Sun, taking Mangog
with it. Jane shared a final kiss with
Odinson before reverting to her human
form and succumbing to her cancer.
Odinson then fled with Jane's lifeless
body from Asgardia before it exploded
and landed upon the Moon where his
fellow Asgardians had evacuated to.

History:
Cecil McAdam was a reverend of the
Church of Thor in the year 2099, when
Avatarr offered him a chance to be
transformed into his god in order to
combat the uncontrolled heroes that
had begun to appear. Reverend
McAdam gathered together four
people who were suitable for
becoming nano-engineered gods;
including Meanstreak’s friend, Jordan
Boone, to be Loki, and Ravage’s
friend, Tiana, for Hela. While Avatarr
simply wanted pawns to keep the new
generation of heroes from meddling
with the creation of his floating city of
Valhalla, McAdam’s vision was to bring
about the second Golden Age of
Heroes. And so they began a
campaign as the false Aesir, the
immortal Asgardian gods.But the new
Aesir weren’t as immortal as they
claimed. When Thor arrived at Valhalla
to face the 2099’s X-Men who had
attacked the city, he found his fellow
Aesir, Heimdall, dead. His half-brother
Loki claimed that the X-Men killed
Heimdall, but refrained from explaining
that he had given them the ability to
turn off his god-like powers. Doom told
the X-Men that the Aesir were only
puppets, which angered Thor, who
refused to listen to any questions
regarding his own godhood. He
attacked him until Loki revealed to

Running Thor:
Thor has a loud, but happy and calm,
personality. He is not hesitant about
expressing his views, but never does it
in an aggressive manner. He is aware
of how imposing he can be, but usually
tries to soften it unless it’s needed. He
is deeply committed to his mission on
Earth, and in trying to get people to
see beyond their own personal
concerns. He prefers finding non-
violent solutions to problems, but, if left
with no other alternative, will solve
them with brute force. He is even-
tempered, and accepting of people’s
disbelief of his claims to godhood. He
rarely gets upset, and it is usually only
when groups take violent actions
based on short-sighted self-interest.
History:
He claims he is the legendary Norse
thunder deity Thor, sent to Earth by his
father Odin. Official records say he is
Thorlief Golmen, who stole his
scientist brother Gunnar Golmen's
super-soldier technology after suffering
a nervous breakdown. Both accounts
agree that he believed he was different
from an early age, but only came to
believe he was Thor after suffering a
nervous breakdown just before turning
30, spending the next 18 months in an
asylum. After discovering (or stealing,
as the case may be) his powers, Thor
began spreading his message of social
change through lecture tours and
books. He initially refused to join the
Ultimates, but did help them subdue
the monstrous Hulk after the U.S.
President met Thor's demand of
doubling the U.S.'s foreign aid budget.
Thor began working with the Ultimates
thereafter, forming a fast friendship
with teammate Tony Stark (Iron Man).
He helped the Ultimates in their
attempt to recruit Hawk-Owl; though
Thor declined fulltime Ultimates duty,
he reliably aided the team against
serious threats. He helped defeat the
extraterrestrial Chitauri invasion force,
and neutralized a Chitauri doomsday
weapon which would have destroyed
the solar system. After failing to
prevent Magneto from breaching the
S.H.I.E.L.D. Triskelion, Thor battled X-
Men members Storm and Colossus,
finding the latter's strength matched
his own. When Norman Osborn's "Six"
attacked the White House, Thor
defeated fellow lightning wielder
Electro. He also helped the Ultimates
and Fantastic Four gather information
about the world destroyer Gah Lak
Tus.
Thor met (or hallucinated) fellow
Asgardian warrior Volstagg the
Voluminous, who warned that Thor's
evil half-brother Loki had escaped from
the "room without doors," and that the
Ultimates were pawns of the New
World Order. Quitting the Ultimates in
protest after they began operating
uninvited in foreign countries, Thor
was publicly accused by Captain
America of leaking team secrets. Thor
later intervened to protect protestors
from police at an Italian demonstration
against the European Defence
Initiative's super-soldier program.
Persuaded by Gunnar Golmen that
Thor was simply a madman using
stolen technology, the Ultimates and
the E.D.I. hunted down Thor in
Norway, attacking him despite his
claims that Gunnar was actually Loki in
disguise. Thor held his own until
Quicksilver removed his belt, depriving
him of his powers. He was then moved
to the same holding cell that Bruce
Banner had previously occupied.
When Loki and the Liberator's
attacked, the Ultimates realized that
Loki had been deceiving them. The
Scarlet Witch then summoned Thor
from his cell to finish off Loki. Loki tried
again to warp reality to make Thor
appear insane, but because the
Ultimates' faith in Thor had been
restored, his powers didn't work. As a
last-ditch effort, Loki summoned the
beasts of Asgard to attack the
Ultimates. Thor then called on his
father, Odin, who sent reinforcements
in the form of the Knights of Asgard, to
aid the Ultimates in their fight. While
the Ultimates fought the monsters,
Thor battled Loki, and eventually
banished him back to Asgard.
With the battle over, Thor tells the
Ultimates that the planet is now under
his protection. With the team now
knowing that he is truly a God, Thor
rejoins the now government-
independent team once more. Thor,
39
alongside Nick Fury and the rest of the
new Ultimates battled the Squadron
Supreme when they destroyed the roof
of the Baxter Building. After the battle
Thor used his hammer to teleport the
helicarrier with the team to the
Supremeverse. There he engaged
Hyperion in combat, but was defeated
by the former's superior speed.
However, Thor gained the upper hand
against Hyperion felling him with a
huge bolt of lightning then severely
beating him with Mjolnir. He also
knocked out Zarda as she attempts to
stop him beating Hyperion. He formed
a romantic relationship with Valkyrie,
who had mysteriously gained
superhuman powers. He started
speaking in a Shakespearean pattern,
because with his godhood no longer in
doubt he no longer felt he had to hide
his true speaking patterns. He had a
collection of weapons which were a gift
from Odin forged by Ulik the troll. The
ax/hammer weapon was among them.
Thor aided the team when the
Brotherhood of Mutants attacked their
mansion. He later traveled to the
Savage Land with the Ultimates to
confront Magneto. He once again
battled Magneto, but was quickly
defeated an buried near the center of
the Earth. Thor attempted to confront
Magneto again, but Magneto used his
powers to take his hammer from him
and then left. Following this Thor
begins using a sword.
Before Ultimatum started by Magneto,
Thor was comfortable in the Ultimates
new Headquarters, which was in Tony
Stark's penthouse. During battle
practice, a huge wave covered the
mansion. Thor survived, but Valkyrie
was thrown all the way to Liberty
Island, where Thor found her dead.
Thor traveled to Valhalla. There he
found both Valkyrie and Captain
America, and sacrificed himself to
revive them. Thor remained in
Valhalla. While a resident of Valhalla,
among fighting the spawn of Hela, he
demanded knowledge of a way to
return to life, to which Hela offered a
solution, she wanted an heir to her
throne. Thor holds up his end of the
bargain and demands his return to
Earth however Hela tells him that
according to Odin's laws another must
die, if he is to leave. Enraged, Thor
states that it will be her death that will
release him but Hela revealed that she
was pregnant and asked Thor if he
would kill his unborn child. This baffles
Thor since the conception of the child
occurred only the night before but Hela
declares that time passes differently in
Valhalla. Months after the Ultimatum
Wave, Loki sought an opportunity to
attack Midgard again. He, along with
Amora and an army of Dragons and
Trolls, attacked New York. During this
time, Thor was imprisoned in Valhalla
and was seduced by Hela, saying she
wanted a son. Thor gave in but
demanded to be returned to Earth, but
Hela informs him an Asgardian life
must be taken for his to be returned.
The New Ultimates fought in vein until
Loki managed to kill Valkyrie, allowing
the death needed for Thor to return to
Earth. Enraged, Thor attacks Loki as
well as the New Ultimates. Eventually
Valkyrie, now serving Hela, appeared
and slew Loki. She kissed Thor and
convinced him that she was once
human so in her honor he should
continue protecting Earth. Thor then
joins the New Ultimates and vows to
once again be Earth's protector.
Reed Richards returned to Earth and
founded an organization called
Children of Tomorrow, a group of
evolved humans with the aim of
dominating the world, building their
base called the Dome. The Dome's
interior ages at an accelerated rate
compared to the outside world. Over
900 years have passed inside the
Dome, so their inhabitants evolved to
perfect super-humans. The EUSS
attacked the Dome with Captain
Britain, Captain Spain and Captain
France along with Thor. The heroes
were subdued by the enemies and
some of them were killed, draining
their powers. After examining Thor,
Richards, now called the Maker, sent
the Children for the source of power of
Thor, leading them to Asgard. After
killing every Asgardian God, the
Children drained the power of
Yggdrasil, leaving Thor powerless.
After Iron Man rescued Thor, he
provided Odinson with an upgraded
version of his Super-Soldier armor,
with which Thor teleported to the
Dome in search of vengeance. There,
he rescued Captain Britain, but was
defeated by the Children, and the
Maker showed himself as Reed
Richards, with the condition of deliver
that message. Also, a new ability
emerged to Thor, being the last
Asgardian alive, he apparently
"became" Valhalla, being able to see
the ghost of the dead Asgardians,
such as Odin, Loki, and others, who
apparently also acts as his awareness,
helping him. Following these events,
Thor moved into Stark Tower with
Jane Foster. Thor remains at Stark
Tower and helps Tony Stark build a
machine that Stark believes will defeat
Richards. However, before they can
finish this S.H.I.E.L.D., under new
command, attacks the two and
attempts to place them under arrest.
Thor and Stark fight them off and
decide to take the fight to Richards
and set off to speak with the President
to form a plan of attack. Along the way
Thor drops Stark off with Susan Storm
to have her exam his tumor and also
recruit her for the final assault against
the Children of Tomorrow. After they
speak with the president Tony is
turned over to Richards and the
Children so they can torture/dissect his
brain. Before they can begin their
procedures Stark's brain tumor,
Anthony, makes friends with the City
and turns the children against
Richards. At this point Reed injects the
Hulk with Pym's giant man serum and
sets him loose on the city. Susan
Storm appears before the Hulk and
blinds him with her powers and a
helmet she was wearing. Thor then
comes from out of the skies and
knocks Hulk out cold. The aftermath of
this battle shows Richards captured by
Susan and Hulk turned over to
S.H.I.E.L.D. Thor is seen mourning in
Asgard, where he gets a phone-call
from Tony, who asks him for help.
Thor answers the call and heads to
New Mexico, where he helps Iron Man
and Captain America put down a
rogue Sentinel. Later, he helps taking
back Texas by taking out heavy armor.
It is in that mission that he sees
Asgardian gold being used by the
short-lived republic's leaders. Hydra,
led by Modi, Thor's lost son, attacked
Project Pegasus in Wyoming as the
ultimate objective to conquer the
country. Along numerous allies and
S.H.I.E.L.D., the Ultimates managed to
defeat Hydra and Modi, who had to be
killed by Thor. Thor later joined the
Ultimates' ally Invisible Woman in the
search of mysterious powerful gems
similar to the one found in Modi's
scepter.
During a meeting, in which Invisible
Woman informed S.H.I.E.L.D. about
40
the Infinity Gems she had been
gathering along Thor, the mysterious
Kang freed both Hulk and Reed
Richards from the Triskelion, stole the
Gems and formed along them and
Quicksilver the Dark Ultimates. The
Ultimates barely escaped, but Captain
America decided to be left behind in
order to stop the villains, although he
was defeated. While Reed was
remolding the world to his shape and
the Ultimates struggled to face the
Dark Ultimates, Thor faced the Hulk,
but was defeated and imprisoned in
the Negative Zone along with Captain
America and Hawkeye. All three of
them were rescued by Iron Man,
whose consciousness survived
electronically after Reed Richards left
him to die in order to retrieve one of
the gems from Tony's brain, as he
managed to hack a H.E.R.B.I.E. Tron
in order to use it to free the captive
Ultimates from the Negative Zone.
The Ultimates finally confronted an
out-numbered Reed along with the
Howling Commandos, but the Maker's
cavalry arrived in the form of Kang
wielding the final gem, who also
revealed herself as being the Sue
Storm from a near future. During a
furious battle against Reed Richards
and his Ultimates, Tony managed to
build Thor a new and more powerful
suit and Mjolnir using The Maker's
technology. Later, Stark managed to
acquire the Infinity Gems and depower
The Maker. When he was about to
face Richards, an immense flux of
energy echoed through time and
space and the Gems were destroyed.
Kang stated that what she tried to
prevent just happened, and she left
stating she would try to go back further
in time. Unknown to them, the flux of
energy had brought a powerful being
known as Galactus from another
universe to this one, and it started
approaching Earth. The Ultimates
faced Galactus with the loss of Captain
America, but managed to defeat the
cosmic entity and exile it to the
Negative Zone, saving Earth.
However, Thor had to join Galactus in
his exile as he had to push the cosmic
entity into the portal.
When the Multiverse was destroyed
and recreated in the form of
Battleworld, so was Thor, but with a
new name: Thunderer Thorlief. In
some point in time, he joined the Thor
Corps, and became known as the same time the Jane Foster of the

After mourning for their fallen brother,
the Thor Corps proceeded to comb
through Battleworld for any suspects,
any person capable of killing a Thor.
Ultimate Thor investigated a Jane
Foster from the Kingdom of
Manhattan, and found her possessions
had been taken by an ex-member of
the Thor Corps known as Thor the
Unworthy. Ultimate Thor was unable to
get information from Thor the
Unworthy as he was called by his
brother after finding a new victim, a
hammer salesman named Donald
Blake. Before the investigation could
begin, Ultimate Thor pinned down
Loki, who was found roaming the
crime scene. During the interrogation,
Loki claimed to not have murdered the
Jane Fosters or Donald Blakes. Loki
stated he has simply moved the bodies
so they could be left for the Thor Corps
to find. Ultimate Thor later followed
Loki's directions to the place where a
mass grave for Jane Fosters and
Donald Blakes was found, the
Deadlands. When he was investigating
the corpses, Thorlief was struck from
behind by the Rune Thor, one of his
least amicable peers, who admitted to
have killed Beta Ray while he left

zombies of the Deadlands. However,
he was unexpectedly saved by Thor

The two of them rushed back to

villainous Thors, who were about to
get rid of Loki. It was revealed the
Rune Thor had murdered the Jane

sake of Doctor Doom's doctrine,
possibly because most Jane Fosters
and Donald Blakes from alternate
universes were closely tied to their
respective Thors. A furious battle took

Running Angela:
Angela, due to her upbringing has little
in the way of feelings or emotions
where others are concerned. In most
interactions between her and others, it
comes with a barter for services

involved, she won't be moved or
influenced by attempts to play on her
emotions.
History:
Aldrif Odinsdottir was the first born of
Odin and Freyja, and heir to the
Asgardian throne. When Heven waged
war on Asgard, the Queen of Angels
kidnapped Aldrif in an attempt to
blackmail Odin into surrendering. He
refused, and the Queen seemingly
killed Aldrif before fleeing. Following
this event, Odin used his powers to cut
Heven from the other Nine Realms
and Yggdrasill. After the Queen of
Angels ordered the corpse of the baby
to be disposed, the queen's
handmaiden Loriel, who was tasked to
do this, discovered it was still alive,
and raised her as one of the Angels
under the name of Angela. Angela was
always mocked for being wingless and
always sought her mother to comfort
42
her, but at some point, Loriel
mysteriously disappeared, leaving no
trace behind. Angela eventually
became the Leader of the Hunt and
went to live in her own manor. When a
monster attacked the Temple of the
Anchorites, Angela was tasked to kill
the beast, and would have been killed
by it if not for one of the Anchorites,
Sera. As payment for Sera's aid,
Angela got her out of the temple she
lived in as she wanted, and took her to
live with her in her manor. While
hunting a fugitive in the Scintilant
Sylvanias, Angela and Sera were
confronted by a Hierophant of the
Temple of the Anchorites. The
Hierophant wanted to return Sera to
her place as an Anchorite in the
Temple, and even offered information
about what became of Loriel, in
exchange for Sera, but Angela refused
the offer and attacked the deity
instead. Defeated, the Hierophant
vanished, vowing to take revenge on
Angela for defying the Temple.
Confused, Sera asked why Angela
didn't take the deal and Angela swore
she would never let her set foot in a
Hell like that again. Afterwards, Angela
kissed Sera, finally recognizing her
love for her.
After many adventures through the
Endworlds, Angela saw Sera die at the
hand of one of their enemies. Angela
tried anything and everything to bring
Sera back to life, but all was in vain.
Some time later, Angela was pulled
out from Heven into the realm of
Midgard as a result of the fracturing of
space and time derived from
Wolverine's attempt to prevent Ultron's
rise to power by traveling back in time.
After Angela was brought to the realm
of Midgard, she made her way towards
Earth to take revenge on whoever had
brought her there. She was angry,
confused, and unaware as to why she
had been pulled out of her home
dimension. She appeared on the
Guardians of the Galaxy's Earth signal.
Gamora intercepted the call and
attacked Angela. The rest of the
Guardians managed to defeat her, and
she was captured. After an
interrogation, during which Angela
spoke of her home and people, Angela
claimed that she was only heading to
Earth because she wanted to see it for
herself. The Guardians realized they
actually incited the fight, freed Angela
and accompanied her to explore Earth.

Angela sensed the reopening of Heven
to the other Nine Realms by the hand
of Thor and Loki, and returned to her
home. She found an exhausted Thor
having fought the Angels, and
proceeded to defeat him in combat,
however, he was kept alive under the
counsel of Loki, who had sided with
the Angels as their "Mistress of
Strategies". While Loki led an Angel
fleet to Asgard, under the false
pretense to help them destroy it, Thor
escaped captivity and engaged once
again Angela in combat. This time
Thor gained the upper hand and
prepared to kill her. Their fight was
interrupted by the arrival of Odin, who
had been liberated by Loki from his
self-exile in Asgard. Odin recognized
Angela as his daughter, and offered
her to join him and the rest of the
Asgardians, Angela refused, as she
was raised to think Asgardians were
her enemies, but couldn't stay in
Heven due to the Angels rejecting her
for her lineage. With no place to go,
Angela set to explore the other realms.
While she was hunting riches at night
in the ruins of a palace, Angela was
approached by what seemed to be her
lost lover Sera. Confused, Angela tried
to kill her thinking it was some kind of
creature wanting to play with her mind,
but she was convinced by her that it
was indeed Sera who was there by
making Angela ask three questions
only she was able to answer and
answering them correctly. When
Angela asked Sera how she came
back to life, she wasn't able to answer.
After the birth of her younger sister,
Angela went to Asgardia and
kidnapped her, escaping through
teleportation to Limbo. However,
Angela was followed by a group of
Asgardians, led by her now unworthy
brother, Odinson. While she kept them
at bay, Sera cast a spell that allowed
them to escape to Midgard, and then
to Vanaheim when the Asgardians
discovered their whereabouts thanks
to Heimdall. After dealing with a group
of Dark Elves, Angela was guided by
Sera to the ruins of the Temple of
Union, which symbolized the end of
the Aesir/Vanir War, so she could get
Siri's wedding dress, the one thing
Heimdall couldn't see through. With it,
Angela took Sera and her sister to the
Moon, where the Guardians of the
Galaxy were waiting for them. While
playing cards with her friends, Angela
heard something and repeated it,
inadvertently calling the Dísir to the
Guardians' ship. A fierce battle ensued
between the Guardians and the former
Valkyries of Bor. The battle ended with
all the Dísir left in pieces (literally) and
with Brün revealing to the Guardians
that Angela had kidnapped the baby
Sera was carrying. With the Guardians
demanding answers, Angela explained
that Odin and Freyja laid together in
the realm between realms, where Odin
imprisoned Surtur when he threatened
to burn everything. The child had three
parents, Surtur being the third. Angela
needed to take the child to Heven so
they would save all reality from burning
again. The Guardians didn't believe
her, until the baby transformed herself
into a fire demon and burned Groot
down. The Guardians took them to
Heven, where they were attacked by
Angels and Asgardians, who had
discovered what Angela was up to
through the Dísir and went to wage
war on Heven again. An enraged
Odinson battled Angela over the fate
of their sister and they battled. The
battle only ended when a pillar almost
fell on the baby and Angela protected
her with her own body. Seeing she
didn't want to hurt her own sister,
Odinson helped Angela to get above
the city's furnace, and then she threw
her sister into it.
Furious by what Angela had just done,
Odinson punched her on the face, but
she quickly recovered from it and,
claiming she was paying the debt of
her existence to Heven by reigniting its
engine with Surtur's fire, leapt into the
furnace to rescue her sister. With
Surtur's power siphoned from her,
Angela's sister was starting to get her
skin burned when Angela came to
save her. She used the metal from her
dress' wings to envelope and protect
the girl, and, as she couldn't fly
anymore, she walked through the
furnace's fire to get through its door,
located on its base, which was opened
by her allies. Heavily burned, Angela,
along with Sera, was taken prisoner by
Freyja, who commanded the
Asgardian army to retreat and took
them back to Asgardia. After the All-
Mother told her her sister's name
(Laussa) and the All-Father released
her, Angela, who had received a mark
on the palm of her hand which means
"traitor", prepared to leave Asgardia
43
with Sera, but realized that Sera wasn't
Sera at all and threatened her with her
iron sword. Then, "Sera" revealed
herself to be the Dark Elf Malekith the
Accursed. Angela demanded answers
so Malekith suggested a deal: if she
promised she wouldn't tell anyone
about his involvements on this event,
he would tell her how he knew
everything about Sera; Angela
accepted. Malekith then told her that
he found Sera imprisoned in Hel after
he discovered about the Tenth Realm
and the curse Freyja cast upon the
Angels, a curse that sent the Angels'
souls to Hel after their death to suffer
eternally. Sera told her history to him
and he took advantage of it to
impersonate her and make Angela aid
him on his quest to conquer all the Ten
Realms, which got threatened by the
existence of Laussa. With his problem
solved, Malekith vanished with a grin,
leaving Angela thinking about her next
quest: rescue Sera from Hel.
Angela fought her way through Hel to
find her lover. Upon reaching the North
Wing of Hel, Angela was attacked by
an unknown individual who cast a spell
on her that forced her to relive the
memory of the day a Hierophant tried
to take Sera back to the Temple of the
Anchorites. Angela soon broke free of
the spell and proceeded to search for
Sera. Suddenly, Angela heard
someone singing and followed the
familiar voice until she found its owner:
Sera. Desperate to finally reunite with
Sera, Angela broke her cell's lock and
kissed her passionately, but to her
surprise, Sera fiercely attacked her for
breaking her vow. Angela apologized
for it and said she would do anything
to take Sera out of Hel, but her soul
already belonged there, making it
impossible for her to be alive again, no
matter where she went to. The only
way to save Sera would be changing
the rules of Hel, but to change them,
Angela had to overthrow Hela.
However, if Angela wanted to succeed,
she had to pass through three trials to
acquire enough power to beat Hela in
her own domain. Angela was helped
by Sera in defeating the hordes of the
dead and get to the first trial, which
was fear. With the assistance of the
person who cast a spell on her earlier,
Angela was able to overcome her fear
and defeat the Fear Avatar, becoming
a Corival, an official challenger for
Hel's throne, and gaining control over
fear. Afterwards, Angela was
introduced by Sera to the person who
helped her on the first trial, Leah of
Hel.
To get to the second trial, Angela,
Sera and Leah had to pass through a
whirlwind and pay with a memory of
theirs. Needing an army, Angela
engaged the Angel Meresyn - the very
first living being Angela killed - in
combat to convince the other enslaved
Angels to help her against Hela. After
winning the fight without killing
Meresyn again, Angela went against
her nature, allowing her to pass the
second trial, that was chaos, which
was now under her control. With an
army by their side, Angela, Sera and
Leah prepared to continue their quest
when they were confronted by Balder
the Brave, Tyr the God of War and
Skurge the Executioner, guardians of
Hela. After defeating Hela's enforcers
and what seemed to be her
grandfather Bor, Angela and Sera had
to pass the third trial, which was pain,
both having to experience a life in
which Angela never met Sera. Soon
after passing the test, Angela was
attacked by Hela and her army.[19] In
the ensuing battle, Angela used the
powers she had acquired in the trials
to overpower Hela and her army, and
managed to defeat her. Taking Hela's
place as the new queen of Hel, Angela
pardoned Hela for her crimes against
her sisters; broke the curse Freyja cast
upon the Angels of Heven and gave
them a sundered part of Hel as their
new resting place; freed Leah from her
fate; and gave Sera's life back to her.
Angela then abdicated her role as
queen, leaving Balder as the new
regent of Hel to keep her new laws,
and, after Meresyn told her that she
discovered Loriel was alive, Angela
went to live with Sera, Leah and Thori
in New York City.
When strange murders started
happening in New York, Angela was
confronted by the new Thor, who
thought Angela had something to do
with it. After Sera stopped their fight,
she explained to them that the strange
incidents were connected to "The
Faustian Queen", an enchanted play
created by an alternate version of
herself to immortalize the Witch Hunter
Angela, who slew the Enchantress and
was cursed with her power, becoming
the Faustian Queen. Both the play and
the Faustian Queen ended up in their
universe after the death and rebirth of
the Multiverse, and after many years
trapped in the Realm of Faerie, the
Faustian Queen went mad and started
punishing the wicked. With no other
option, Angela, Thor, Sera, Leah and
Thori confronted the Faustian Queen.
With the group overpowered, Leah
saw herself forced to make a deal with
Faustia to save the lives of her friends.
In return for seven years, Leah would
free Faustia from her curse, give her a
new place in this new universe and
reunite her with Lady Serah. Faustia
accepted the deal and thus gave them
seven years to live. Back to the
present, Faustia confronted Leah to
make her fulfill her part of the bargain.
Keeping her word, Leah took Faustia
to Elysium, turned her into the queen
of the dead Angels of Heven, and
reunited her with her beloved Lady
Serah. After the incident, Leah decided
she had to go to discover what was
next for her and departed with Thori.
Three days later, while on a tour
through New York City, Angela
proposed a deal to Sera: to love each
other as long as they had each other
to love; which Sera happily accepted.
Angela was kidnapped by the
Brotherhood of Badoon as the Badoon
needed more unique power sources in
order to reach their goal, which was
filling the void left by the destruction of
the Kree and Skrull Empires. After
discovering this, Gamora assembled
the Guardians to rescue Angela from
the Badoon, as well as the many other
prisoners of the planet prison she was
taken to. After being rescued by
Gamora and Drax, Angela went to
Moord with them and the rest of the
Guardians, along with the numerous
aliens freed by them, to take the
Brotherhood of Badoon down and
rescue Peter Quill, who had been
captured by them and setenced to die
in battle against the Monsters of
Badoon. Their battle ended when
Angela decapitated their remaining
leader and menaced to bring about all
of Asgard's fury upon them if they
didn't surrender and fix what they had
done wrong.

Running Balder:
Balder is an adventurous god who
enjoys battling alongside his friends.
This is tempered by his strong sense
of responsibility towards friends and
Asgardian society. Balder rarely leaves
Asgard unless a friend or task requires
his aid. Balder is a former lover of Sif
but he feels no enmity towards her
other lovers, Thor and Beta Ray Bill.
History:
Balder the Brave was one of the
Asgardians, an extra-dimensional race
of beings once worshiped by the
Vikings and Germans, as well as half-
brother and close friend to Thor. Due
to prophecies that Balder's death
would help trigger the coming of
Ragnarok, the destruction of Asgard
and its inhabitants, Odin, ruler of
Asgard, commanded his wife Frigga to
make Balder invulnerable to harm.
Before he allowed her to cast the
spells, however, he accused Balder of
treason, because during a battle with
the Storm Giants, he had deserted the
fight to put a bird who had fallen from
its nest, back with its mother. Odin
ordered his brothers Tyr and Honir to
shoot arrows and throw lances at
Balder, but the projectiles were
stopped by an eagle and a plant.
Seeing that Balder did not flinch, Odin
was content that Balder was the
bravest in all of Asgard and decided to
grant him the invulnerability.
Frigga cast spells that would protect
Balder form harm by any living or
inanimate thing while he was in the
Asgardian dimension; however, Balder
remained vulnerable to mistletoe. Loki,
the god of mischief, learned of the
prophecies and vulnerability, and
tricked the blind god Hoder into firing
an arrow tipped with mistletoe wood at
Balder. Odin prevented Balder from
actually dying, but when he was finally
restored to life, his hair had turned
white as a result from his experiences
in Hel. Later, Balder's beloved, Nanna,
sacrificed herself to save Balder from
entrapment in marriage to Karnilla, and
Balder was so distraught that he
resolved never to speak of this incident
or of her again. These experiences of
death led Balder to forswear the life of
a warrior and tried to forget his misery
through eating, growing considerably
fat. He rode to the desert to die, but
encountered the Norns, three
goddesses who oversaw the workings
of destiny. The Norns gave Balder a
vision that restored his faith, and he
rode back to Asgard, eventually losing
his excessive weight as he became a
warrior again. Balder fought in all the
recent battles of Asgard, including one
against the demon Surtur, in which he
needed to seek out the aid of the
sorceress Karnilla. During a time when
Odin had departed Asgard, Balder
became the ruler of Asgard. Balder
was killed during the final Ragnarok by
an army wielding mistletoe-tipped
spears.
Balder's spirit was pushed into the
Destroyer by Loki and attacked Thor
who was searching for the missing
Asgardians. He was restored by Thor
along with Loki and resided in Asgard
Oklahoma. Balder replaced Thor as
Lord of Asgard due to the sinister
plans of Loki during the Dark Reign,
and was convinced to move the
Asgardians to Latveria, the domain of
Doctor Doom, where they were placed
at his mercy. Until the prompt arrival of
Thor who brutally bested Dr. Dooms
Destroyer freeing the Asgardian's held
prisoner including Balder. Once again
ruler of Asgard yet broken in spirit
Balder attempted to abdicate the
throne. Thor convinced him not to.

Running the Destroyer:
The Destroyer is a tool and NPC rather
than an independent character. Due to
its programming, the Destroyer tends
to make whoever animates it a
berserker.
History:
The Destroyer is an enchanted suit of
armor in humanoid form which, when
animated by the life force of a sentient
being, exercises immense powers
which make it virtually invincible.
Created over a thousand years ago by
Odin, lord of Asgard, to be that realm's
ultimate weapon, it is composed of an
unknown metal of Asgardian origin
enchanted by Odin to be even harder
than adamantium or uru. No one can
physically wear or dismantle the armor
of the Destroyer. In order to utilize the
armor, the would be user projects his
life force into the its shell, leaving the
user's true body comatose in a state of
magical suspended animation. Usually
the transference is achieved when a
willing subject stands within an arm's
reach of the armor. Masters of mystical
powers, such as Loki or Odin, can
make the transfer at greater distances.
The Destroyer was mystically
endowed with its own intelligence and
personality. Further, it was
programmed by Odin to battle and, if
possible, destroy the first being it sees
upon activation. Usually the animating
Life force will be unable to assert his
sentient control over the Destroyer for
his own purposes, the exceptions
being Odin, Loki, and Thor. The
Destroyer's programming will allow
invading life forces to coexist with it if
the invader's goals are compatible.
When animated, the Destroyer
remains mystically linked to the body
of the person whose life force provides
the animating force, thereby
preventing that body from dying due to
the absence of a life force. This body
is, therefore, the sole weakness of the
Destroyer against any force weaker
than the Celestials. A spell of sufficient
force can reverse the transferal and
render it inanimate again. Because the
Destroyer is not a living being, it is
immune to the prohibition that prevents
anyone who is not worthy from lifting
Thor's enchanted hammer Mjolnir.
The Destroyer was created to be used
against the Celestials. Odin
encountered the Third Host of the
Celestials a little over 1,000 years ago
when he discovered that the Celestials
intended to return in a thousand years’
time when super humans were to
emerge in large numbers on Earth.
At this time, the Celestials would begin
their judgment of Earth's fitness to
survive. Odin and the other Earth gods
believed that the Celestials would
destroy humanity at that time should
humanity fail their judgment. Since a
god without worshippers was dead, the
gods decided to defend Earth against
the Celestials but faced the problem
that even one Celestial was more
powerful than their assembled might.
Therefore Odin designed the
Destroyer as a weapon against the
impending Fourth Host. Upon its, Odin,
Zeus, and the other patriarch gods
bestowed a fraction of their powers
upon it, providing it with great strength
and powers. Once the Third Host left,
Odin concealed the armor within a
temple he built concealed in a plateau
in far-off Indochina. In this way he
hoped to keep it beyond the reach of
any who would misuse the armor's
powers.
The Destroyer remained inert until
shortly before the appearance of the
Fourth Host. However, Loki, seeking a
means of vengeance against Thor,
destroyed the plateau and arranged for
Buck Franklin, a hunter, to unwittingly
activate the armor and battle Thor.
After defeating the Destroyer, Thor
demolished the temple, burying the
armor within. Later, while in exile,
Loki projected his consciousness into
the Destroyer and used it to
unsuccessfully attack Odin. The
Destroyer was next animated by the
goddess Sif, caught in a plot by Loki
and 'Camilla, the Norn Queen.
Professor Clement Holmes
accidentally became the fourth being
to animate the Destroyer. At this time,
Thor was unaware of the Destroyer's
true purpose and, in exchange for
Firelord's freedom, he gave the armor
to Galactus for use as a herald.
Galactus found the Destroyer useless
and did not miss it when Loki stole it,
employing first Balder, then Thor
himself as the animating force.
By this time, the long-foretold
Fourth Host had arrived and Odin
decided the time had come to use the
Destroyer at last. He drew the life
forces of all the Asgardians (with the
exception of the absent Thor) into
himself, then projected the combined
Life forces into the armor. The
Destroyer grew to gigantic size and,
wielding the enormous Odin sword,
and invaded the Fourth Host's South
American base. Yet, inconceivably
powerful as the fully-activated
46
Destroyer was, it proved unable to
inflict even the slightest damage
against the gathered Celestials. The
Celestials reduced the armor to slag
and set adrift the Asgardian life forces.
Arishem, leader of the Celestials on
Earth, then melted the Odin sword into
apparent nothingness (in truth the
sword has since been recreated and
resides again in Asgard). However,
Gaea, the Eider Goddess of Earth,
persuaded the Celestials to deliver a
favorable judgment on the Earth by
revealing the earth goddesses' legacy,
the Young Gods. Thor, with the
assistance of Earth's other pantheons,
was able to resurrect Odin, who in turn
restored the other Asgardians to life.
Years later, the Destroyer was
reactivated by Siggorth, a Frost Giant.
The Destroyer discovered the
comatose remains of Thor, who at the
time was under a spell of Hela's that
rendered him incapable of either
healing or dying. Thor had been
reduced to a pulpy mass after a battle
with Jormungard, the Midgard Serpent.
The Destroyer attempted to
disintegrate Thor's remains but, when
it failed, it grew intrigued, discovering
the curse and realizing that by
animating himself with Thor's undying
life force, it would prove unbeatable in
battle since no one could threaten
Thor's body. The Destroyer ejected
Siggorth's life force and drew in Thor's.
However, Thor's indominable spirit
overcame the Destroyer and took
control of the body. While in the armor,
Thor invaded Hela's realm and
wrought havoc, pretending to have lost
control of the armor's actions. When
Hela herself was threatened with
death, she lifted her curse and
restored Thor's body to its original
health and form. His plan successful,
Thor forced her to foreswear taking the
souls of any more of Earth's mortals.
Thor then returned to his own body
and promptly sealed the armor within
virtually unbreakable crystal so that it
could not be reanimated for evil
purposes. He also left it in Hela's
presence to serve as a reminder of her
promise.

Running the Enchantress:
The Enchantress is a scheming
opportunist, but will help others when
her own plans are in danger. Amora
lives for the attention of males and will
go out of her way to seduce men who
have struck her fancy.
History:
Through time and the eras of
Ragnarök, the goddess known for her
astonishing beauty went by several
names, including Freyja, Iduna, Idun,
Gefn, Mardöll, Enchantress. Her
charms and feminine perfectness were
the only ones who could convince
Yggdrasill from giving her the Golden
Apples. At some point, she was
married to Bragi. On the third era of
Ragnarök, a Frost Giant disguised
himself as a mason, and offered to
repair the great hole in the wall in a
year, in exchange for the Enchantress'
hand. The gods were outraged, and
Loki proposed to seal the deal with six
months in place of a year, to defeat the
mason, who was allowed only his tool
and his steed for help. The
Enchantress was not consulted on the
matter. Facing Odin's wrath at the
mason soon victory, Loki had to make
the mason fail. He changed into a
mare, distracted the steed, and the
wall was not finished. Angered at his
defeat and at Loki's suspected
treachery, the Frost Giant revealed
himself, before being killed by Thor.
Loki, possibly going through the same
history, was eventually banished. He
was approached by a Frost Giant in
eagle disguise who asked him the
Enchantress a bride. Loki went to Idun,
tricked her into bringing her to Muspel
to witness Golden Apples similar to
her, but in fact brought her to the Frost
Giant. She became his harem queen
against her will. Deprived from the
Apples, the Asgardians withered, and
Loki was eventually denounced. He
went to deliver her, but both were
saved by the timely arrival of Thor,
who killed the Frost Giant. Returned to
Asgard, Enchantress was able to
deliver the Apples to her fellows. In
later Ragnarök cycles, she was
usurped her role by others, including
Idunn.
Origin
Amora was born somewhere in
Asgard, her parentage unknown. While
still in adolescence, she ran away to
the land of the Norns and apprenticed
herself to Karnilla, one of the most
powerful sorceresses in all the
Asgardian dimension. There she
studied all the basic arts of Asgardian
magic until Karnilla expelled her for
being too undisciplined. She picked up
further mystical skills from seducing
other Asgardian magi and wizards.
Centuries ago, Amora enlisted
Brunnhilde, leader of Odin's Valkyries,
in her plans of conquest. However,
Brunnhilde soon became aware of
Amora's immoral ends, and sought to
end their partnership. Amora then
47
used her magic to entrap Brunnhilde
within a mystical crystal of souls. Only
relatively recently was Brunnhilde
freed from Amora's spell.
The Enchantress seduced Skurge the
Executioner into assisting her in many
of her schemes over the years. But
while the Executioner was so
infatuated with the Enchantress that he
would do anything for her, she
continually withheld her favors from
him to keep him in thrall.In her first
encounter with Thor after he gained
his human identity of Don Blake, the
Enchantress attempted unsuccessfully
to seduce Blake, and then ordered the
Executioner to dispose of Jane Foster,
the mortal woman whom Thor then
loved. Thor saved Foster and defeated
both the Enchantress and Executioner.
In the following years the Enchantress
also allied herself with Loki, Baron
Zemo, the Mandarin, and Arkon in
pursuit of her goals of power and
vengeance upon her enemies. During
her stint with Mandarin Amora and
Skurge attempted to conquer Asia with
an army if rock trolls. Although creating
a giant to destroy her enemies, Amora
and Skurge were defeated by Hercules
and the Scarlet Witch. She was among
the many menaces assembled by
Doctor Doom to disrupt the wedding of
Reed Richards and Susan Storm. She
and Skurge kidnapped the Hulk to use
him and her army of rock trolls to
conquer Asgard but they were
defeated by the Green Goliath. In
retaliation Amora killed him, but this
act was almost instantly undone by
Odin. Her most frequent adversaries
during these years were Thor and the
Avengers. She used one of Zemo's
machines to transform one of the
Baron's mercenaries into the first
Power Man.
The Enchantress was one of the
villains abducted by the alien
Beyonder and forced to battle an
assemblage of heroes on a patchwork
planet he had created known as
Battleworld. Early on in the conflict
known as the Secret Wars, Amora
clashed with the She-Hulk, but was
easily overpowered by the heroine,
who was far stronger and more
experienced in fighting. The
unconscious Amora was captured by
the heroes and placed in an alien
medical device to heal her injuries by
Reed Richards. Seeking a fellow
Asgardian's perspective on events,
Thor freed Amora from the device and
she teleported them away to another
part of the planet, where she
attempted to seduce Thor, further
enchanting her lips to enthrall him. An
alien creature emerged from the pool
beside which they sat, however, and
Amora was unable to defend herself
temporarily, having focused her power
on seducing Thor. Thor saved her from
the beast, and Amora transported
them back to the heroes'
headquarters, which in their absence
had been laid waste by her villainous
allies. Vastly outnumbered, Thor
wondered if Amora would aid him
against the other villains, but she
turned her back on him, and he was
apparently killed, though he had
actually caused a distraction with his
lightning before escaping. Amora later
admitted that she regretted not helping
Thor, and losing her chance to be with
him. The Enchantress also attempted
to seduce the villains' leader Doctor
Doom, even offering to heal his
scarred face, but he rejected her,
knowing from his experience of magic
that such a deal would come with a
price. Later in the conflict, the
Enchantress was approached by her
fellow villainess Volcana, who begged
the Enchantress to teleport her to the
side of her injured lover the Molecule
Man, offering the Enchantress
anything she wanted in return. Volcana
would later regret this, however, as the
Enchantress attempted to use
Volcana's life-force to transport herself
back to Asgard. She was interrupted,
however, by both the Molecule Man
and the Lizard. The Lizard slashed the
Enchantress across the face with his
claws. The Enchantress tried to kill the
Lizard in retaliation, and managed to
transport herself home, apparently
healing her face soon afterwards.
The Enchantress' crimes earned her
Odin's wrath, and she suffered exile
from Asgard in the past. However, she
and the Executioner both came to
Asgard's aid in its recent war with
Surtur and his legions from
Muspelheim. The Enchantress and
Executioner joined with the heroes of
Asgard, and earned the right to stay in
Asgard once again. Amora also
became involved with the guardian of
Asgard's Rainbow Bridge, Heimdall. In
retaliation for her younger sister
Lorelei's rude refusal to join her in
battling Surtur, the Enchantress used
sorcery to make Lorelei fall in love with
Loki. Despite those examples of
heroism, the Enchantress basically
remains an opportunist seeking her
own ends. She temporarily lost the
Executioner to her rival Casiolena but
defeated her with the aid of the
Defenders. She also came close to
destroying and remaking reality in her
image using the harmonica of destiny,
but her plans were foiled by the Thing.
Finally tiring of the Enchantress's
contemptuous treatment of him, the
Executioner nobly sacrificed his life on
a mission with Thor into Hel, the realm
of the goddess Hela. Despite the fact
that Amora had always lead the
Executioner on, she did genuinely
grieve for him. Amora developed a
crippling fear of danger as a result of
the death of the Executioner, and took
solace with Thor. The two soon
developed a romantic relationship.
Amora was captured by Frost Giants
during the chaos of the psychic
menace Onslaught. She eventually
used her magic to escape and
returned to Earth. Discovering Thor
was missing (he had presumably
sacrificed himself to defeat Onslaught),
Amora searched for the Asgardian
gods, who had at this time been turned
into mortals by Odin's magic. Amora
soon helped the gods to reclaim their
former glory by defeating the
machinations of Set.
Amora returned to Asgard and also
restarted her relationship with Thor.
During Ragnarok, she was killed
during the initial attack by Loki's
forces. Recently, Thor himself returned
from beyond death, to once again take
up the mantle of Earth's protector, this
time as the Lord of Asgard. He
restored the city of Asgard (currently
located in central Oklahoma), and
awakened many Asgardians, who
were sleeping within various mortals
scattered across the world. It was
Thor's intention to awake only those
Asgardians whom he deemed noble
and trustworthy, while leaving others
(such as Hela and Loki) in their mortal
state, unaware of their true nature.
Apparently he felt that Amora, despite
her previous heroic acts (and their
romantic liaisons) fell into this
'untrustworthy' category, and he made
no particular effort to seek her out.
Loki, however, having gained some
awareness of his true self despite
48
being locked within the form of a
mortal woman, managed to manipulate
Thor into waking many, if not all of the
remaining Asgardians. Amora was
brought forth, and promptly departed
for some far corner of the earth. Amora
began manipulating reality by attacking
the World Tree, Yggdrasil, in order to
resurrect Skurge and end her
loneliness as she finally realized how
much he meant to her. She was
ultimately thwarted by Thor, Loki, and
Balder, who convinced her that she
was hurting the other Nine Worlds with
her magic and would only dishonor the
death of Skurge by resurrecting and
releasing him from Valhalla.
More recently, after the destruction of
Asgard by Norman Osborn and his
forces, Thor, Steve Rogers and Iron
Man were transported through a portal
and scattered through the Nine
Worlds. The Enchantress appeared in
what appeared to be Vanaheim, where
she told Thor she would have
vengeance upon him, setting a group
of minions upon him. As Thor fought
back, however, the Enchantress
revealed that Vanaheim and other
parts of the Nine Worlds had been
combined and transported into Hel, the
realm of Hela. As Thor began to fight
Hela, Amora looked on. When Thor
was knocked unconscious during the
fight with Hela, he was surprised on
coming to his senses to see Amora
battling Hela to help him. Hela
defeated Amora in combat. Later,
when Thor and his allies marshaled an
army to attack Hela, Thor was stabbed
by Hela with the Twilight Sword, which
she had stolen and used to alter the
Nine Worlds. Before Hela could finish
Thor off, a cloaked figure appeared
and magically healed Thor before
teleporting him away. This turned out
to be Amora, who had transported him
to his hammer Mjolnir, which he had
been separated from. Hela tracked the
two down, and they pressed the attack
on her - Thor with his lightning, and
Amora with a devastating magical
blast that destroyed part of Hela's face.
With some help from Iron Man and
Fafnir, Hela was defeated, and Thor
won back the Twilight Sword. Thor
used the sword to return the Nine
Worlds to their previous state, and
thanked Amora for her help, assuring
her he would not forget her change in
allegiance to help him. After joking that
Thor could give the Twilight Sword to
her, Amora transported Thor, Iron Man
and Steve Rogers back to where they
had been taken from, and their waiting
friends. Thor then entrusted the
Twilight Sword to Amora's former lover
Heimdall. When Thor died at the end
of the Serpent's invasion, Donald
Blake found himself on his own. With a
lifetime of false memories and robbed
of the Odinson, which had been the
center of his life, Blake faced an
identity crisis. He found Amora in a bar
and made a deal with her, hoping to
become a god once more. She
pampered and pleasured him, and
then fed him a Golden Apple, after
which she cut off his head. Blake's still-
living head looked on in horror as the
blood that spilled from his body turned
into the monstrous Keep, who Amora
took as her lover. They then traveled
to Hel, where they found Hela subdued
by the Mares. Keep freed Hela, who
then allowed them into Asgardia. They
confronted Thor, Amora taunting him
with Blake's head, but were defeated
and banished for good.
Amora was sent to Norway by Thor,.
When Lady Deathstrike and Typhoid
Mary went to Norway to recruit Amora
onto their new team, their plan broke
the Odinforce keeping her powers from
her and she agreed to come with
them. Amora was recruited by
Magneto - due to Loki's help - to join
his group of villains that would fight the
Red Onslaught and his Sentinels in
Genosha. Amora was able to charm
the Red Onslaught with her magic but
was soon interrupted by a Sentinel.
She disappeared along with the other
villains after the Scarlet Witch and Dr.
Doom cast a powerful inversion spell
which defeated the Red Skull but also
inverted the moral axis of those in the
island. She rejoined the (now-inverted)
villains to stop the inverted X-Men from
detonating a gene bomb which
would've killed everyone on the Earth
who was not a mutant. When a
reinversion spell was cast, the
Enchantress returned to her normal
moral axis. Following the Secret wars
event, Amora became a member of
Malekith the Accursed's dark council.
Using a spell she took control of the
queen of the light elves, allowing
Malekith to marry her and conquer her
realms.

Contacts:
The Executioner was a member of the
first Masters of Evil, and later worked
for the Mandarin. He has also worked
for Loki, and was devoted to the
Enchantress. After his death he was
declared a hero of Asgard.
Running the Executioner:
Throughout much of his life Skurge
was a braggart and a bully, seeking to
conquer all who his prowess could
humble. He did this not for his own
glory, but for that of the Enchantress,
who held Skurge under her sway.
Freed from her wiles, he sought solace
in battle and won a place for himself in
49
the halls of Valhalla where to this day
he readies himself for battle.
History:
Skurge the Executioner was one of
Asgard's greatest warriors. He was
born the illegitimate son of a Storm
Giant and a Asgardian from
Skornheim. Later became a warrior,
gaining the name Executioner after
fighting against the Storm Giants. He
came to Asgard and was seduced by
the Enchantress into assisting her in
many of her schemes. Although he
was infatuated with the Enchantress
and would do anything for her, she
withheld her favors from him. In his
first encounter with Thor, Enchantress
attempted unsuccessfully to seduce
the human Donald Blake, ordered the
Executioner to dispose of Jane Foster,
the mortal Thor loved. Thor saved
Foster and defeated them both. The
Enchantress and Skurge also allied
themselves with Loki. He sent them to
Midgard to attack Jane Foster. Balder
the Brave arrived on Midgard, and
quickly found and challenged the
villainous pair. Balder managed to hold
his own until Thor arrived causing
them to release Jane and flee the
scene. Skurge and Amora joined
Baron Zemo's Masters of Evil. They
recruited Radioactive Man, Melter, and
Black Knight. Their scheme to turn
Thor against the Avengers failed, as
did their plan to use Wonder Man as a
pawn. Zemo had his Asgardian allies
free Black Knight and The Melter from
jail While his Masters battled the
Avengers. Cap and Zemo dueled in
South America. Blinded by the glare
from his opponent's shield, Zemo fired
his death ray wildly and died in the
ensuing rockslide. Meanwhile, the
remaining members were defeated by
the Avengers after Thor transported
them to another dimension so their
battle would not destroy the city of
New York. Skurge and Amora joined
the Mandarin's attempt to conquer the
world. He attacked the Asian sub-
continent with an army of Trolls to
retrieve the natural diamond deposits.
Skurge battled Hercules in another
dimension he had transported them to
with his axe, but was beaten and
thrown at a giant, Amora had created
to take down the Scarlet Witch. The
giant was destroyed in the process.
Skurge and Amora were banished by
Odin to a barren world. Skurge
abandoned Amora for Casiolena who
appeared to offer love. The
Enchantress vowed revenge and used
the Valkyrie disguise and the formation
of the Liberators to this end. Skurge
battled the Defenders when they were
transported to Casiolena's realm. Dr.
Strange and Namor were then
overpowered by Skurge and an army
at his command. Locked in the same
cell with Bruce Banner and Barbara
Norriss. Also imprisoned were the
Enchantress and the Black Knight.
Amora explained that she and the
Executioner travelled to this realm and
he soon became the consort of the
queen Casiolena. The Defenders
managed to free themselves. Skurge
killed Casiolena, and Amora reclaimed
the Executioner. The Black Knight
revolted believing that the Enchantress
loved him, she turned him into stone.
Amora escaped leaving with Skurge.
They returned to Asgard and were
embroiled in one of Loki's many plans
as they were dispatched to the palace
of Karnilla the Norn Queen. However
Amora and Skurge broke down the
door. Balder snuck out and to
determine the strength of the enemy
army. He discovered that the suits of
armor are empty, brought to life by
Amora. Balder is discovered by Amora
and Skurge. Karnilla came to Balder's
rescue. She and the Enchantress
engage in a battle of sorcery, while
Balder fights the Executioner. After
defeating them, Balder and Karnilla
are confronted by an angry Thor. After
finally arriving home, Thor finds Amora
and Skurge, and on the throne was
Loki himself. Loki now ruled Asgard in
Odin's stead with Amora and Skurge
as his Loki's lieutenants. By his own
royal decree contained in the Cask of
Sovereignty, even Thor must obey
him. Loki knows that he must dispose
of Odin if he wants to keep the throne.
Loki then reveals that he was behind
the empty army, and that Kroda was
the second Thor, and that the
document from the Cask was a
forgery. Amora and Skurge steal the
sleeping form of Odin. Sif and Thor
head to Karnilla's domain to find
Balder, while the Warriors Three
protect Odin. Thor's group are
assaulted by two Storm Giants, but
Thor defeats them. Karnilla tells them
that Balder did not come back with her.
The Warriors Three find Amora and
Skurge, but before they can be forced
to talk, the Enchantress trips over
Hogun's dagger, causing them both to
fall into the fire pits. A dagger which
Loki mystically caused to be moved
into her way.
Sometime later Skurge with Amora
joined with the forces of Asgard
against the legions of Fire Demons
lead by Surtur. After feeling toyed with
by Amora for too long, Skurge teamed
up with the Einherjar, Balder, and Thor
to rescue stolen souls from Hel that
had been taken by Hela. In the
process, Hela attempted to persuade
Skurge to join her warriors onboard of
Nagelfar, the ship of the dead. One of
her minions used an illusion of Amora
to sway him, but when this treachery
was revealed, Skurge used his axe to
cleave a dimensional rift into the heart
of a sun right beside Nagelfar,
destroying both the ship and the axe in
the process. After they had retrieved
the human souls, the band was
pursued by a huge army of the dead.
When Thor volunteered to buy time for
the other's escape, Skurge knocked
him out from behind, and volunteered
to hold the bridge of Gjallerbru in his
stead. Skurge defended the bridge
with a pair of M16's from Earth and
unbreakable courage, and none of his
opponents set foot on Gjallerbru. He
stood alone and died at Gjallerbru,
allowing not one of the almost
numberless hoard to set foot upon the
bridge for as long as he could fight.
For this heroic last stand, Skurge
found a place among the warriors
residing in Valhalla, and to the surprise
of many, Amora found herself torn with
remorse upon hearing of his demise.

his origins and is slow to anger.
History:
Frey was the God of Harvest and the
brother of Idunn, he also helped
construct Valhalla. After Asgard was
attacked, Odin bribed two giants
named Fafnir and Fasolt to restore the
walls of Valhalla, by promising them
Frey's sister Idunn. Loki promised Odin
that he would not have to pay the
price, but as he was hoping to cause
Ragnarok, Loki turned Idunn over to
them anyway. Thor and Frey then
arrived to confront the giants and
rescue her. Thor and Frey fought the
two giants, but had to stand down
when Odin revealed his oath to them.
The giants agreed that they would
relinquish Idunn if the gods gave them
the Rheingold, which included the Ring
of the Nibelung. After Thor, Odin, and
Loki retrieved the Ring from the
gnomes, Frey was happily reunited
with Idunn. During his life, Frey fell in
love with the Giant Gerd. He has to
surrender his magic sword to Gymir,
her father, as an oath to never touch
his land.

Running Frigga:
Unlike Odin, who is something of a
stern, but distant, father-figure to his
sons. Frigga is a caring and loving
mother to all of them, even those who
are not hers. Frigga is loved dearly by
her sons and is very highly regarded
by all of her husband's subjects. She
was one of the fairest, kindest, and
wisest Asgardians. Unlike her
husband, Frigga was willing to forgive
Loki, and also willing to accept Thor's
relationship with Jane Foster.
History:
The Asgardian Frigga, goddess of
marriage, was the wife of Odin, who
raised her husband’s son Thor, the
god of thunder, though he was not her
natural son. She bore three children
with Odin: Balder (god of light),
Hermod (god of speed), and Tyr (god
of war). An ancient Asgardian
prophecy foretold Balder’s death would
initiate an apocalyptic event called
Ragnarok which would herald the
death of all Asgardians. Knowing of
this prophecy, Frigga cast spells to
51
protect Balder making him invulnerable
to injury while in Asgard from anything
except mistletoe. However, Odin
feared that if Balder were known to be
his son it would make him a target and
hasten Ragnarok; consequently,
Balder was brought up unaware of his
royal lineage. Around 1000 AD, the
multi-pantheon Council of the
Godheads saw a threat to humanity
from the cosmic Celestials, who would
one day decide if the human race was
worthy of existence. While the male
gods planned to wage war against the
Celestials, the Earth goddess Gaea
gathered Frigga and goddesses of
other pantheons to locate humans
across a span of a thousand years and
release the latent genetic potential
within them. These super-humans,
called the Young Gods, were intended
to show the Celestials the greatness
humanity could achieve. The Young
Gods were kept in suspended
animation, watched over by Frigga and
others. When the Celestials finally
returned to judge humanity, Frigga
relinquished the Young Gods to Gaea
and returned to Asgard. In turn, Gaea
offered the Young Gods to the
Celestials, satisfying them of Earth’s
value.
During a war against the fire demon
Surtur (“the Surtur War”), Frigga fled
from Asgard with the Asgardian
children under her protection. She
returned to Asgard with Surtur’s defeat
to find that Odin had fallen in battle;,
but they were later reunited when Thor
rescued Odin from the Ennead death
god Seth. At one point Odin attempted
to thwart Ragnarok by casting the
Asgardians into mortal forms with no
memories of their true lives. While
Odin became the drunken derelict
Wad, Frigga was cast as his wife
Freda Barker. All of these “Lost Gods”
were eventually restored to godhood
with their memories. When Loki slew
Balder with a mistletoe arrow the
prophecies of Ragnarok were fulfilled,
leading to the realm’s ultimate
destruction and killing Frigga in the
process. However, Thor survived and
enabled those Asgardians who fell
during Ragnarok to return to life. It is
currently unrevealed whether Frigga’s
life has been restored as well.

to use the sword to become the new
king of his sacred land until he was

Running Heimdall:
Heimdall takes his job as the sentry of
the Bifrost Bridge serious and doesn't
sleep or shirk his duties. He is loyal to
Odin and Asgard.
History:
Heimdall was the brother of the warrior
Sif. For ages, he stood as the guardian
of Asgard's Rainbow Bridge, defending
the city's gates from any intruders, and
was one of the most trusted servants
of Odin. When Asgard was invaded by
the fire demon Surtur, Heimdall
attempted to defend the gates, but was
overcome, and the Rainbow Bridge
was destroyed. No longer needing to
be stationary, Heimdall spent more
time in Asgard, and became close to
Amora the Enchantress, who was
52
soon infatuated with him. When Odin
returned to Asgard after Surtur's
defeat, he gave a portion of his power
to Heimdall to rebuild the Rainbow
Bridge, and Heimdall resumed his
duties. Shortly afterwards, when Odin
was about to enter his Odinsleep, he
passed the Odinpower on to Heimdall
to rule Asgard until he awoke.
Heimdall had to deal with a major
crisis in the life of Thor, as Thor had
been banished into the
subconsciousness of the mortal Eric
Masterson, who had assumed Thor's
responsibilities. Sif was determined to
find the real Thor, and her
determination drove a wedge between
her and Heimdall. When Karnilla
conspired with Loki to rule Asgard by
having Odin awaken with Loki's soul
possessing him, Heimdall was
branded a traitor and banished to the
Dream Dimension, where he was
saved from the demon Nightmare by
Amora. Eric Masterson helped restore
Odin and later Thor as well, but
Heimdall and Amora drifted apart
when Amora realized that his duty to
Asgard was greater than his love for
her.
When Odin cast the Asgardians into
the guises of mortals to protect them
from a false Ragnarok, Heimdall
became Donald Velez, and joined the
other "Lost Gods" in attempting to
rediscover who they were and battling
the Egyptian death-god Seth. Heimdall
and the others regained their true
forms and defeated Seth just as
Asgard was attacked by the Dark
Gods, and they were all taken
prisoner. They were finally rescued by
Thor. Then Asgard was struck by with
the real Ragnarok, one from which
there was no seeming reversal.
Heimdall perished in battle defending
his people, but in reality his soul was
placed inside a mortal man like all the
other Asgardians. He was the first that
was found after Thor recreated Asgard
in Oklahoma and started to search the
other gods. Now he watches over the
new Asgard and helps Thor to locate
all the rest of the gods with his powers.

Death-goddess: Hela is the
Asgardian goddess of Death. She
rules over the spirits in Niffleheim and
Hel and has the following Powers:
• Mind Control: Control over the dead
of Niffleheim and Hel at Cl3000.
• Illusion Powers: Masking the nature
of the lands of Hel at Cl5000.
• Death touch: Hela may slay targets

giving them '0' or full Health.
• Aging Rays: Unearthly (100) rays age

• Flight and Levitation: Unearthly (100).
• Astral Projection: Shift-Z (500) ability.
Hela retains her Powers in astral form.
Limitations:
Hela preserves her life by means of a
cape and head-dress. Depriving her
results in Strength and Endurance
being reduced to Feeble, leaving her
unable to use any Powers. It's
unknown if she can die, or, if Odin
would claim her realms or assign a
new death-goddess.
Hela's Endurance is tied to her realms
and is -1 C/S every day spent away to
Unearthly. In Asgard, Hela's
Endurance drops to Shift-Z.
Equipment:
Hela rules Hel and Niffleheim, two of
the Nine Worlds of Norse mythology.
The two realms lie on the same
dimensional plane, which is different
from that of either Earth or Asgard.
Mystical conditions are such in both
realms that the spirits of the dead
become tangible there, and live a
quasi-physical existence. It is in
Niffleheim, the land of eternal ice, that
the souls of the dishonored dead, the
greatest evildoers among the
deceased, dwell. Niffleheim, along with
Muspelheim, are the oldest realms of
the Nine Worlds. The Spirits of the
dead who were neither great evildoers
nor heroic warriors dwell in Hel, a grim
dark, barren realm. There Hela lives in
her great hall, Eljudnir. There is a
cavern, about 300 miles southeast of
the city of Asgard, called Gnipa Cave,
which serves as the entrance to the
underground road from Asgard to Hel,
known as the Helway. This road is a
passageway through and
interdimensional nexus connecting the
two realms. Gnipa Cave's entrance is
guarded by the immense Helhound,
Garm, who is held to his post by
mighty chains (Shift-Y material
strength). Garm, who is capable of
speech, allows the living to enter the
Helway, but will attempt to prevent
anyone from leaving Hel by this route
except his mistress, Hela.

at a victim, the victim suffers a cold
attack.
Claws and Fangs: Shift-X (150).
Limitations:
Garm is chained just inside the Gnipa
Cavern and cannot travel more than a
hundred yards from his post.
Weakness:
Garm fears fire above all else. If
confronted with a flame of Monstrous
53
Intensity or higher, Garm shies away
from it. However, if the flame is of
Amazing intensity or less, he turns on
the wielder with such ferocity that he
gains + 1 CS to his attack. Should a
hero threatening Garm with Monstrous
flame let his guard down for a moment,
Garm attacks him with even greater
ferocity, gaining a + 2 CS to his attack.
History:
Garm is the immense helhound of
Norse legend, It is prophesied that he
will claw Tyr to death during Ragnarok.
Garm is capable of speech and freely
divulges that he guards the path to
Hel. He does not interfere with living
beings attempting to enter Hel, but he
does not willingly allow anyone to
leave Gnipa Cavern. He does not warn
anyone that he will prevent their exit.
It takes nine days and nights riding by
horseback, with stops for rest, to travel
from the opening of Gnipa Cave to the
bridge of Gjallerbru over the river Gjoll,
which serves as the entrance to Hel.
The bridge is guarded by the silent,
black cloaked goddess, Modgud, who,
like Garm, will allow individuals to
enter Hel but will attempt to prevent
anyone except Hela from leaving.

Gjallerbru.

Running Hela:
Hela is "evil," in the mortal sense of the
word, but is more accurately beyond
such judgments. She is patient, like
death, and her only defeats come
when she oversteps her boundaries,
by taking the dead of Midgard who did
not belong to her, or by rashly
avenging herself against Thor by
making his bones brittle while refusing
to let him die.
History:
Hela was born ages ago Supposedly
to Loki and a giantness from
Jotunheim. Legend has it, however,
that Hela was born in Jotunheim, the
otherdimensional land of the giants,
one of the "Nine Worlds" of Norse
mythology, and that she is the
daughter of the Asgardian god of
mischief Loki and the sorceress
giantess Angrboda. The three
Asgardian goddesses of fate, the
Norns, are said to have warned the
Asgardian gods that Hela would prove
to be a great danger to them. It is
known that Odin, ruler of the
Asgardian gods, decreed that Hela
become goddess and ruler of the
spirits of the Asgardian dead on the
day of her maturity. These spirits dwell
in the otherdimensional realms of Hel
and Niffleheim, two more of the Nine
Worlds, both of which Hela rules.
However, Odin himself directly rules
the souls of Asgardians and their
human worshippers who died in battle
as heroes, and had the palace of
Valhalla built in a distant section of
Asgard, also known as Valhalla, to
house them.
Hela has sought for ages to bring more
Asgardian souls under her control, and
especially longs to possess the souls
of Odin and his son Thor. In recent
years, when Odin's attention has
strayed from the rule of Valhalla, Hela
tried to annex that realm to her own,
hoping to consolidate her power over
all of Asgard's dead. Eventually Odin
grew aware of her ambitions and
opposed them. Hela finally withdrew to
her own realms, and Odin
reestablished his control over Valhalla.
Asgard continues to rule Valhalla to
this day. For untold ages Hela had
directed the construction of a gigantic
ship, Naflgar, said to be made of the
fingernails of the dead. Hela planned
that when Naflgar was finished, she
would send an army of the dead to
Asgard to destroy the gods. However,
Naflgar was destroyed by the
Executioner as it neared completion.
Goddess of death and ruler of the
Shadow-Realm of Niffleheim.
Mysterious in aspect, supreme in
power, she is not content to reign over
the shades of those who do not die a
hero's death. Hela longs to usurp
Valhalla, Odin's hall of honored
heroes. A sometimes-adversary of the
mighty Thor, Hela is the one being in
all the nine worlds of Asgard whom
even the All-Father Odin must obey. It
is said that should the forces of evil in
the Nine Worlds ever succeed in
destroying Asgard, Hela and her army
of the dead will be at her side.

night, Hoder tried to rape Idunn, after
getting drunk and aroused after a
battle and in revenge Idunn denied him
access to the apples and the eternal
youth the other Asgardians possess.
Goddess Frigga made everything in
existence swear never to hurt Balder,
except for mistletoe. Loki tricked Hoder
into shooting a mistletoe arrow at
Balder. To cover his deception, Loki
killed Hoder with Heimdall's sword
before he could reveal his deceit.
Because of Ragnarok, Hoder suffered
the same fate that befell the rest of the
Asgardians. But was resurrected by
Odin after he returned to Asgard.

Running Idunn:
Idunn is a young maiden and has the
personality of a farmer. She likes to
keep things simple but won't hesitate
to fight when she needs to.
History:
Idunn was a Vanir, the Goddess of
Immortality. She is the daughter of
Freya and Iwaldi, a dwarf who took
part in the creation of the treasures for
the gods, and the sister of Frey. Odin
appointed Idunn the Keeper of the
Golden Apples. She has been at times
noted as the only Asgardian who can
pick them from the World Tree. Once,
while delivering the apples to Odin,
she was attacked by the Fenris Wolf
disguised as a human, but saved by
Haakun the Hunter. At some point, the
warrior Hoder, drunk, came to her and
raped her. In revenge, Idunn denied
him the apples since, causing him to
55
live in perpetual winter. Although, she
still had love for him. At another point,
a couple of Storm Giants stole the
Golden Apples, but Thor and Loki
Laufeyson were able to retrieve them,
escaping on the back of Agnar, King of
the Eagles, formerly prisoner of those
Giants. Yet at another point, Agnar,
now the Half-King of Eagles and in a
colossus form, had the Aerie Legion to
attack Idunn while she was harvesting
her Golden Apples. She was captured
along with her protectress Sif, but both
were soon rescued by Thor and Loki
who defeat Agnar.
Odin once promised Idunn to Fasolt
and Fafnir, a pair of Storm Giants if
they helped rebuild Valhalla. He did so
because Loki promised Odin would not
have to fulfill that promise, but Loki, it
seems, was a liar. Thor eventually
deterred the Giants by providing them
a legendary article of gold instead.
While leading an army against Odin,
Loki and Tyr attacked and destroyed
Idunn's home, captured her and stole
the Apples for them, using some to
buy the Midgard Serpent's loyalty.
Idunn was then brought in front of Odin
as an hostage. Caged, she was soon
rescued by Balder and the Warriors
Three, and brought back to Odin's
palace.
Loki used her appearance to approach
Hoder, in his plot to kill Balder,
promising him the apples again if he
hit the God of Light with a mistletoe
branch. Idunn cared for Hoder, making
the preparation for his funeral and had
him buried with honor, in defiance of
Odin's wishes. She was later in the
underwater Aegir's Hall, where the
Gods drinked and discussed of the
incoming Ragnarök presaged by
Balder's death. When Loki came, he
revealed that Idunn had transgressed
Odin's orders, and tried to put Idunn in
accusation, but was thwarted by Sif
who suspected Loki's machinations.
Due to the three-years winter following
Balder's death, Loki's disappearance
and Odin's vacancy, the trees were
unable to come to bud, and
consequently to bloom. Idunn came to
Thor to warn him that the storage of
apples were near depleted, exposing
the Asgardians to death. On Thor's
orders, and along with her brother
Frey, she was to go to Midgard in
order to sow seeds of Apples of
Immortality, as they couldn't be grown
anymore on Asgard. The trip was
cancelled as the ceremony was
interrupted by renegades and Bifrost
guardian Heimdall was wounded in the
battle. She soon visited convalescent
Heimdall and asked Thor that she and
Frey would depart as soon as
possible, which was denied due to the
damages of the Bifrost, the risk of
another attack and the difficulty to
provide an escort of loyal Asgardians.
Idunn proposed an alternative, with no
escort and with Nidavellir as
destination. Thor tried to discourage
them, in vain. In their journey, Idunn
was surprised that no warmth came as
they entered Nidavellir, only to find the
flames of the flaming pit frozen. They
were soon surrounded by Dwarves
who took them prisoners to their leader
who revealed himself to be her father.
When the Aesir was dispatched on
Midgard on human forms as the Lost
Gods, Idunn existed as Ida, a woman
allegedly living with her brother Mr.
Freystein (Frey) in a little condo in
north Miama until they got the "travel
bug" and became tourists travelling
aboard a camping car, eventually
meeting with other Lost Gods at the
Bryce Canyon National Park in Utah.
At some point after Ragnarök, she
formed a triad of goddesses with Gaea
and Freyja known as the All-Mother.
Following the disaster of The Serpent's
attack on Asgard and the death of
Thor, Odin summoned the All-Mother
to assume control in his absence,
choosing to abdicate from his position.
As Asgardia left Broxton and Midgard,
Freyja took her place as the one true
All-Mother, while Idunn was sent to
scout for new homes along the World
Tree for the Asgardians. Part of the list
of females Odinson suspected to be
the new Thor, Idunn was one of the
many women warriors he and Freyja
brought to help Thor against the
Destroyer commanded by Cul Borson
under Odin's order, holding him
enough until Odin aborted Cul's
mission. As the Asgardians were
battling the armies of Hel led by Hela
and Tyr, Old Loki on the Midgard
Serpent, the Trolls and Giants and all
the foes of Asgard, the heroes of
Asgard gathered in reinforcements,
including Idunn leading the Vanir. After
a brief pause during which Loki denied
to join either side, the fight resumed,
as everything died. Chances are she
will return from the Ragnarok, just like
everyone else does.

Running Loki:
Loki is the god of mischief as well as
evil, and his machinations are
designed to embarass and humiliate
his opponents, not just defeat them.
Loki is a master of sarcasm even when
his enemies are winning, Loki has a
verbal quip to make them seem
foolish. Despite appearances, Loki has
a sense of honor, and will repay debts
to those who have saved him or
helped him. Loki's goal is the rule of
Asgard, although he is also willing to
be its destroyer if things don't go his
way.
History:
Loki is one of several powerful beings
from the magical realm of Asgard, who
have been worshipped as gods. Odin,
once the ruler of the Asgardian gods,
led his subjects in a war against their
enemy, the frost giants from the land
of Jotunheim (one of the nine worlds of
Asgard). Laufey, king of the frost
giants, was slain in battle and the
giants were defeated. Surveying the
spoils of war, the Asgardians
discovered a small Asgardian god-
sized baby hidden at the giants' main
fortress. The infant was Loki, whom
Laufey had kept hidden due to his
shame over his son's diminutive size.
Odin remembered his father Bor’s
dying words to adopt the son of a
father killed by his hands; Odin
adopted Loki into his own family,
raising Loki like a son along with his
biological son, Thor. In childhood Loki
greatly resented the fact that Odin and
the other Asgardians favored the
young Thor, who already had a nobility
of spirit and excelled in all his
endeavors. As a boy Loki began
studying the arts of sorcery, for which
he had a natural affinity. He became
infamous for his mischievousness, but
secretly resented Thor and the love
that Odin lavished upon him. When
Odin was preparing his greatest gift for
Thor, the enchanted hammer Mjolnir,
Loki interfered with its creation,
causing its handle to be forged too
short. Loki was envious that Thor
would one day wield Mjolnir, and over
the years repeatedly crafted schemes
to make Mjolnir’s power his own.
When Loki and Thor were still young,
Thor was attracted to the swordmaiden
Sif, who had beautiful gold-colored
hair. Loki cut off her hair while she
slept, but Thor guessed that Loki was
responsible and demanded that he
restore it. Loki enlisted the dwarves
Brokk and Eitri to forge new hair for
her, but as he did not pay them
anything, they decided to craft the hair
from nothing, making black hair from
the night itself. However, Thor still
loved Sif, even without her golden hair.
Thor and Loki occasionally adventured
together as teenagers, though the
competitive Loki always searched for
an advantage over his brother. In his
youth, he was more apt to aid his
Asgardian family. When Loki learned
that the sorceress Karnilla (queen of
the magical beings called the Norns)
was planning an attack on Asgard, he
refused an offer to join her and instead
alerted his fellow Asgardians to her
scheme. Later on, Loki and Karnilla
became occasional allies, although her
love for the Asgardian Balder (an
enemy of Loki) prevented her from
aiding Loki in any way that would hurt
her beloved.
As Loki matured into a young man, his
antics became more and more
pronounced, until Odin finally sent him
to jail to learn from his actions. Fed up
with Asgard, Loki used his magic to
escape his cell, and eventually met
Eldred the sorcerer, who increased his
training in the black arts. Finally, Loki
confronted the 1000-foot tall fire
demon Surtur, enemy of the gods from
the one of the nine realms of Asgard
called Muspelheim, and offered him
Eldred’s soul in exchange for power.
Surtur accepted, and Loki assumed
ownership of Eldred’s lands and
minions. His foray into the black arts
earned him the title of “god of evil”
among the Asgardians, and he forged
alliances with many of the realm’s
enemies. Loki mated with the goddess
Angerboda, who bore him the
monstrous offspring Jormungand (the
Midgard Serpent) and the Fenris Wolf,
as well as Hela, the goddess of death.
Loki also tricked the goddess Sigyn
into marrying him by posing as her true
love, Theoric. Loki eventually learned
of the prophecies of Ragnarok, a
cataclysmic event in which he was
fated to bring about Asgard’s ruin by
slaying Balder, then leading the
enemies of Asgard into final battle.
Loki ultimately embraced this destiny,
and sought the means to bring about
Ragnarok on more than one occasion.
However, Loki usually crafted his
schemes so subtly that Odin and Thor
could rarely justify punishing him, and
Loki would continue to live in their
midst, awaiting his next opportunity.
In recent years, Loki finally obtained
an advantage over his half-brother
when Odin sentenced Thor to Earth in
the guise of Dr. Donald Blake, a
medical practitioner who would
transform into Thor using Mjolnir. Loki
sought victory over his brother by
exploiting Blake’s human weakness,
and employed many pawns against
him on Earth, including Jinku the Lava
Man, the Weather Maker, Sandu,
Amora the Enchantress, Skurge the
Executioner, Skagg, Surtur, Cobra
(Klaus Voorhees), Mr. Hyde, the
Absorbing Man, and the Super-Skrull
(Kl’rt). In one attempt to trick Thor into
battling the monstrous Hulk (Bruce
Banner), Loki diverted a distress call
intended for the Fantastic Four to Dr.
Blake’s office, but it was also
intercepted by the Wasp, Yellowjacket
(Henry Pym), and the armored
adventurer Iron Man (Tony Stark).
When the four heroes learned of Loki’s
involvement and banded together with
the Hulk to defeat him, they decided to
form a team of heroes to face future
threats, calling themselves the
Avengers. Loki long regretted having
caused their formation. Loki made
several attempts at claiming the throne
of Asgard when Odin entered into his
“Odinsleep” hibernation (a time when
57
Odin lay vulnerable while recharging
his energy), but outside threats to
Asgard such as the vengeful creature
of pure hatred, Mangog and the fire
demon Surtur frightened Loki into
surrendering the throne to its rightful
ruler. Loki continued his mischief on
Earth. He once joined forces with
wicked entity Dormammu of the Dark
Dimension to trick the Avengers and
another team of super-heroes, the
Defenders, into assembling the
mystical Evil Eye for them, but the
combined heroes ultimately defeated
them both. Loki even unleashed a
direct assault upon Earth once, but
Thor helped lead Earth’s ground forces
against his half-brother’s army and
defeated him. After Loki usurped the
throne of Asgard yet again, he was
punished by Odin and banished to
Earth in the form of a vagrant.
Loki regained his identity due the
presence of a journalist named Harris
Hobbs who had been to Asgard but
had the memory removed by Thor.
After he returned from his fantastic
journey, Hobbs dreamed of Asgard in
his sleep. These dreams reached Loki,
restoring him to normal. Knowing of a
prediction that Ragnarok would begin
with Balder being shot with an arrow of
mistletoe, Loki attempted to set the
destructive event in motion when he
arranged for Hoder to shoot such an
arrow at Balder. Loki also caused the
mortal Roger “Red” Norvell to gain
powers similar to Thor’s. Red defeated
Thor in combat, taking Mjolnir from
him. Admitting his treachery, Loki was
caught and sentenced to the Place of
Judgment where he was chained while
a serpent dripped venom on his face.
Escaping, he and his daughter Hela
led the Forces of Darkness, an army of
giants, trolls, and demons with
Jormungand, the Midgard Serpent, to
attack Asgard. Once Hela realized the
Ragnarok prophecies were not being
fulfilled, as the Midgard Serpent killed
Red instead of Thor, she summoned
the Forces of Darkness to retreat. Odin
preserved Bald`er’s body and
eventually revived him. Knowing
Thor’s death was tied to the prophecy
of Ragnarok, Odin secretly allowed
Red’s empowerment to position him to
die in Thor’s place, foiling the attempt
at causing the cataclysm. Loki was left
manacled to his wife Sigyn as
punishment, but he finally obtained
release by blaming Odin himself for his
problems, claiming that Odin’s
favoritism towards Thor was the root of
all his misdeeds. Meanwhile, the fire
demon Surtur also schemed to bring
about Ragnarok through igniting his
sword “Twilight” in Asgard’s Eternal
Flame of Destruction. Surtur ordered
his ally Malekith the Accursed, ruler of
the Dark Elves of Svartalfheim, to
make sure that Loki remained out of
the conflict by signing a non-
aggression pact. However, Loki did not
honor his agreement and stood
alongside Thor and Odin in Asgard’s
defense. Odin seemingly sacrificed
himself to imprison Surtur, and the
realm was left without a ruler. Loki
attempted to claim the throne himself,
but the populace did not trust him. As
part of a scheme to prevent Thor from
claiming the throne, he cast a spell
which turned his brother into a frog,
but still possessing the might of
Mjolnir, the “frog of thunder” forced
Loki to undo his magic.
Sometime later, Thor rescued mortal
souls trapped by Hela in her realm of
Hel. In retaliation, Hela laid a curse
upon him so that he could not die, but
also would not heal from injuries.
Learning what his daughter had done,
Loki amused himself by sending frost
giants, the Midgard Serpent and the
Destroyer (magical animated
indestructible armor) against Thor.
Although Thor’s physical body was
reduced to paste, his spirit took over
the Destroyer armor and forced Hela
to undo her curse. Thor broke Loki’s
arm for his part in the events, knowing
that Loki could easily heal the injury.
Loki wasn’t purely an enemy against
his own people. When Seth of the
Ennead (Gods of Egypt) led his
Demons of Death into conflict with
Asgard, Loki refused an alliance with
him, and in his spirit form discovered
that Seth was holding Odin prisoner
within the Black Pyramid, the source of
Seth’s power. Loki secretly helped
Thor rescue their father, and Odin
repulsed Seth’s invasion. Still smarting
from the success of the Avengers, Loki
concocted a scheme for the enemies
of all super-heroes to obtain their
revenge. During this “Acts of
Vengeance” conspiracy, Loki
appeared to Dr. Doom (Victor von
Doom), the Kingpin (Wilson Fisk),
Magneto (Max Eisenhardt), the
Mandarin, the Red Skull (Johann
Shmidt), and the Wizard as an
anonymous lackey, offering them the
power to manipulate Earth’s super-
villains into conflicts with heroes who
would be unprepared for unfamiliar
adversaries. Each of the six “prime
movers” was led to believe that he was
the one arranging the scheme. Loki’s
plot was finally uncovered by Thor,
and he was defeated. As a final act of
vengeance, he merged three mutant-
hunting Sentinel robots into the
powerful Tri-Sentinel, but it was
defeated by Spider-Man (Peter
Parker), who was granted the
phenomenal “Uni-Power” and thereby
becoming Captain Universe to face
this threat.
Loki assumed the guise of a
businessman on Earth, and enlisted
Ulik the rock troll and the manipulative
Amora the Enchantress to aid him in a
new plot against Thor, collecting the
powers of the criminal band, the
Wrecking Crew, along the way to aid
them. At this time, Thor was bound to
the mortal Eric Masterson, so Loki had
Eric’s son Kevin captured. Thor set
Kevin free, but as an act of spite, Loki
hurled a blast of energy at Kevin and
his mother Marcy. Amora, now acting
against Loki, took control of Kevin’s
babysitter Susan Austin and had her
take the blast for Kevin and Marcy.
Thor was so furious with this attack
that he used Mjolnir to draw Loki’s life
force from his body, seemingly killing
him. As punishment for destroying a
fellow Asgardian god, Thor was
banished into the subconscious mind
of Eric, while Eric took the place of
Thor. However, Loki’s consciousness
had taken over the body of Odin while
he was in Odinsleep, and through him
took command of Asgard. Eric and Sif
eventually found Odin’s spirit within the
realm of the demon Mephisto, and
they restored Odin to his body while
Mephisto claimed Loki’s spirit instead.
Although he was now a prisoner in
Hell, Loki’s spirit continued to wander
when Mephisto was distracted. He
once schemed with Pluto of Olympus
to trade enemies, with Loki arranging
the death of the Olympian demi-god,
Hercules, while Pluto plotted Thor’s
demise. Loki enlisted the titan Typhon
against Hercules, but he failed, and
Loki’s own minion the Flame aided
Pluto, but Loki himself had to save
Thor from the Flame when he
threatened Sigyn. Loki once imparted
some of his power (via a mystical
58
dagger) to Knut Caine, a mad killer
who patterned himself after Loki and
called himself “Mad Viking.” Caine
began to create a pseudo-Asgard on
Earth, but was defeated by the Hulk,
Henry Pym and the Wasp. The Hulk
hurled the dagger into the ocean to
prevent it from possessing someone
else.
Loki finally escaped Mephisto’s realm
when Thor reluctantly enlisted him to
aid him against the New Immortals
(beings genetically created by the High
Evolutionary using genetic material
obtained from Thor). However, Loki’s
physical form no longer existed, and
he had Sigyn temporarily bond him to
a suit of armor. He continued to trouble
Thor, as well as Eric Masterson (now
the hero Thunderstrike), possessing
armored hero War Machine (former
Iron Man Jim Rhodes) to attack Thor.
Loki finally struck a bargain with Seth
to have him genetically engineer a new
body, and his spirit took possession of
it. He sought revenge on
Thunderstrike, but when War Machine,
She-Hulk (Jennifer Walters) and Ant-
Man (Scott Lang) were drawn into the
fray, he was instantly reminded of the
Avengers and ended the fight. Loki
eventually crossed over into the
dimension called the “Ultraverse” (or
Earth-93060 ), where the six ultra-
powerful Infinity Gems had been
scattered. Loki began to gather the
gems together, battling many of the
local superhumans (“Ultras”) for them.
Finally, the Grandmaster (an Elder of
the Universe) revealed to him that
there was a seventh gem, the Ego
Gem, and they pitted the local heroes
Ultraforce against the Avengers with
the gem as the stakes. However, Loki
did not win, and soon lost all six gems,
returning to his native reality.
Attempting to stave off Ragnarok, Odin
had allowed the “world tree” Yggdrasil
(which connects the nine realms of
Asgard together) to think that
Ragnarok had already happened, and
hid the Asgardians on Earth in mortal
identities as the “Lost Gods.” Loki
became the businessman Tso Zhung,
with no recollection of his earlier life.
He was brought together with the other
Lost Gods by the revived Red Norvell,
and became the first of them to reclaim
his true form, confronting Seth, who
had taken advantage of the situation to
try and eradicate the Asgardians.
When the other Asgardians regained
their true identities, they defeated
Seth. Thor’s most recent mortal
identity, Jake Olson, was that of a
paramedic slain during a battle, and
Thor took on the man’s appearance as
a new secret identity. Loki reanimated
the true Olson’s body and began
committing crimes so that Thor would
be suspected, but Thor eventually
bound the true Jake Olson to himself
and Loki was trapped in a body
identical to Olson, which was named
“Loren Olson,” Jake’s twin brother,
who was sent to prison for his crimes.
Karnilla released Loki from prison not
long before Odin faced Surtur in battle
once again. This time, Odin was truly
slain. Thor ascended to the throne of
Asgard, and Loki found himself
surprisingly content under his rule,
seeing new opportunities for power,
and genuinely pleased as Thor began
to impose Asgardian values on Earth.
However, Thor eventually withdrew
from Earth after learning of an
alternate future reality (named Earth-
3515) wherein he became a despot,
and he and Loki were left at odds once
more.
Now wielding a powerful uru hammer
of his own, Loki once again set into
motion events to start Ragnarok.
However, this time Thor allowed him to
play the events out to their conclusion,
having realized that Asgard was
caught in a repeating loop of death
and rebirth, denying his people true
warriors’ deaths. Thor decapitated
Loki, and kept his still-living head with
him as he permitted Surtur to unleash
the final assault on Asgard. Thor then
confronted the mighty beings called
Those Who Sit Above in Shadow, the
powers responsible for the repeating
the Ragnarok cycle throughout history
for their own benefit, and he saw to
their destruction. Loki was apparently
consumed in the destruction of Asgard
alongside his brother. However, after
Thor broke the Ragnarok cycle, the
souls of all Asgardians were hidden
within mortals on Earth. At some point,
Loki took possession of Sif’s body,
transferring her spirit into that of an
elderly woman. Balder, whose spirit
was within the Destroyer armor,
gathered numerous Asgardians,
including Loki, to protect themselves.
Through the “Odinpower” he inherited
from his father, Thor restored Asgard
on Earth in Broxton, Oklahoma where
he discovered and restored the
Asgardians gathered by Balder. To all,
Loki appeared to be simply reborn as a
woman, as the possession of Sif was
not apparent. While feigning a new
benevolence, Loki wasted no time in
causing unrest by revealing to Balder
that he is a son of Odin, sowing seeds
of tension between Balder and Thor for
the right to rule. Afterwards, Loki
traveled through time, killed Odin’s
father Bor and manipulated his
younger self and father to arrange
events to be adopted by Odin as a
child. During an invasion of Earth by
the shape-changing alien Skrulls,
many of whom impersonated super-
heroes, Loki falsely convinced the
other Asgardians that the alien Beta
Ray Bill was a Skrull impostor. Thor
learned of Sif’s fate and restored her,
returning Loki into his male form. Loki
then misled Balder into forming an
alliance with Doctor Doom which led to
several Asgardian deaths in Doom's
quest for immortality, as the dictator
experimented upon the Asgardians.
Facing his own people turned into
cyborgs by Doom, Balder led a
contingent of Asgardians to storm
Doom’s castle. Loki, assuming the
guise of former Avenger the Scarlet
Witch, deceived Hank Pym to reform a
new Avengers team which he could
manipulate, but was discovered by
giant-sized hero Stature (Cassie Lang)
and expelled from the team. In his final
scheme of revenge on all Asgard itself,
Loki manipulated insane criminal
mastermind Norman Osborn (who had
manipulated the government into
becoming the head of the peace-
keeping force, H.A.M.M.E.R.), to use
his resources to attack the Asgard with
extreme prejudice. The resulting siege
of Asgard ended with the destruction
of Loki at the hands of the Void, the
wicked alternate-persona, of the heroic
Sentry (Robert Reynolds).
But we all know that no matter what
happens, Loki has a way of finding his
way back from death.

and Thor.
Running Lorelei:
Lorelei is a young goddess who loves
pleasure. She is cunning and devious,
but doesn't take important things very
seriously, which tends to be a liability.
Her major goal is to become
romantically involved with a god of
high rank, such as Thor or Loki; she
will not settle for anything less.
History:
Lorelei is the younger sister of the
sorceress Amora the Enchantress.
The two sisters share an interest in
using their beauty and wiles to
dominate any male as they wish.
However, unlike Amora, Lorelei has
had no interest in mastering sorcery
apart from learning certain skills to aid
her in her amatory pursuits.
Loki, the Asgardian god of evil, chose
Lorelei to seduce his longtime enemy,
his stepbrother Thor, god of thunder.
Needing no persuasion, she went to
New York City on Earth where she
claimed to be a mortal human being
named Melodi. There she confronted
Thor's old enemy, the dragon Fafnir.
Fafnir used his hypnotic abilities to
overpower Lorelei, capturing her as
bait to lure Thor into a trap at the
construction site where he worked in
his secret identity of Sigurd Jarlson. As
Jarlson, Thor saved Lorelei from
death, and then fought the dragon in
his godly identity. Hence Thor and
Lorelei first met in their false identities
as the humans Jarlson and Melodi.
Jarlson and Melodi became friends,
and Melodi was clearly attempting to
deepen the relationship into a
romance. Circumstances, however,
prevented her from getting Jarlson to
drink the love potion she had prepared
originally for Thor. Lorelei was then
kidnapped by Thor's foe Malekith the
Accursed, leader of the Dark Elves.
Malekith used sorcery to cause a stick
of wood to take on the appearance of
Melodi and this magically animated
false Melodi gave Jarlson the potion to
drink. Under the spell, Thor fell
uncontrollably in love with Melodi.
Malekith then revealed to Thor that the
real Melodi was his prisoner. Thor,
enraged, rescued Melodi from the
Dark Elves. Soon afterward the
demonic Surtur began his war against
Asgard. Amora was infuriated by
Lorelei's refusal to join in fighting
Surtur's demonic hordes, and decided
to take vengeance on her. Odin,
monarch of Asgard, vanished along
with Surtur at the war's end. Loki then
planned to use Lorelei to influence
Thor to throw his support behind Loki's
bid to become Asgard's new ruler. Loki
gave Lorelei the elixir of Lofn, which,
when Thor inhaled its vapors, would
made Thor fall so deeply in love that
he became Lorelei's slave.
To take revenge on Lorelei, the
Enchantress cast a spell on Odin's
scepter of power, knowing that Loki
would pick it up, as indeed he did. Due
to the spell, when Lorelei next saw
Loki, she fell madly in love with him.
The Enchantress believed that loving
the heartless Loki would eventually
destroy Lorelei emotionally. Loki
naturally responded to Lorelei's new
interest in him. Thor's friend Heimdall
realized that Thor was under Lorelei's
control, and devised a plan to save
him. He had the Enchantress urge
Thor to visit Loki when she knew that
Loki and Lorelei were in each other's
arms. Thor's rage at seeing them
together made him realize he himself
was under a spell. He forced Loki to
release him from the spell on pain of
death, and then left the two of them
together. As the Enchantress
predicted, Loki grew tired of Lorelei
eventually. Lorelei, still in love with
Loki, enrages him. But she is
comforted by Malekith, who has a plan
himself. Daillus stormed a castle to
see for himself if Lorelei is as beautiful
as the legends say. For his trouble she
turns him to stone. Amora arrives, and
tells her a story of her time on
Battleworld, where she had the chance
to win the love of Thor, but she failed
because she was too afraid. In a battle
between Seth and Balder, Lorelei
interposed among them and the
servants of Seth to save Balder,
shortly after, she died from the injuries
she suffered in battle. Further on,
Lorelei was returned to life by the
power of Seth to face the Asgardians
that had lost their godly status and
their powers. Amora killed Lorelei to
free her from Seth's control. Lorelei
returned back to life. Using the alias
Ice Queen and allied with Pluto, she
created a new Valkyrie, but she and
Pluto were defeated by the Defenders.

Personality:
Being the best female warrior in

orders, although she has shown
unwavering loyalty to Odin. Unlike
many other Asgardians, does not view

harbors romantic feelings for Thor,
being protective of him, jealous of his
love for Jane Foster and showing a
willingness to aid him even if it means
treason. Despite her desire for Thor,
she was ready to help in his mission to
save Jane, showing a great level of
selflessness and honor.
History:
Sif was born a second generation
goddess of Asgard, her parentage
unrevealed. As a child, she had golden
hair and was an occasional playmate
of Thor and his half-brother Loki.
Once, while she was still an
adolescent, Loki decided to play a trick
on her in retaliation for her preference
of Thor's company over his. As she
slept, Loki cut off all of her golden hair.
When she discovered the misdeed, Sif
alarmed the entire capital city of
Asgard with her cries of dismay. Loki,
knowing he would be blamed for the
trick, hurried to the kingdom of the
Trolls to bargain with them to forge
some artificial hair of pure gold to give
Sif as recompense. The Trolls agreed
to his terms and set about making the
hair, secretly preparing it in the event
that Loki tried to renege on his side of
the bargain. Loki indeed stole the hair
without paying for it, and presented it
to Sif. Placed on her head, the gold
hair began to grow as if it were natural,
shinier than before. However, because
the Trolls did not have a chance to
treat it with a special potion before Loki
stole it, the hair began to darken,
finally becoming ebony black. When
Sif began to cry once more, her
parents began to tire of her vanity and
so sent her off to learn the arts of
warfare as a Shield Maiden. When she
returned to Asgard years later,
accomplished in the ways of the
warrior, she had grown to accept her
black tresses. Odin, lord of Asgard,
had long deemed Sif to be a fitting
mate for his son Thor, heir to the
throne. Thor and Sif had seen little of
one another in the millennia since their
childhood when Odin deemed it time
for them to renew their acquaintance.
Thor had just been involved in a
relatively brief relationship with a
mortal Jane Foster, and Odin was
anxious to make him forget it. Soon
after meeting Sif again, Thor's interest
in her turned to passion, and the two
became lovers and companions.
Eventually , they pledged to marry.
however, Thor's attachment for Earth
frequently came between them. Sif
much preferred the world of the gods
62
to the mundane world of mortals, and
after attempting to adjust to Earth life
on more than one occasion, returned
to Asgard to live without Thor.
Although Thor and Sif have not broken
their betrothal, their marriage has been
postponed until such time as they can
reconcile their differences.
Later the alien warrior Beta Ray Bill
comes to the defense of Earth during a
war with Surtur and his demon army.
In the midst of battle Sif and Bill find
themselves attracted to each other.
Meanwhile, Lorelei has given Thor an
elixir that causes him to fall in love with
her, and he is so blinded by the spell
that he strikes Sif in anger. When the
war is over, Sif and Bill spend some
time on Earth exploring their mutual
attraction before returning to Asgard.
Sif eventually returns and finally
comes to forgive Thor, after she
realizes that Lorelei was to blame for
his brutality. However, she clarifies to
Balder that her love for Bill is purely
platonic. She also develops a romantic
relationship with another mortal to
wield Thor's power, Eric Masterson.
Despite this, Sif risks her life to travel
to the realm of Mephisto to free what
seems to be the soul of Thor from a
mystical bag, pledging her loyalty to
the demonic entity. She is manipulated
into a new costume change and is sent
to face down Eric and Balder in battle,
who had willingly followed her, worried
for the success of her mission. Eric
and Sif eventually part realms as
friends, but he leaves her with a
favored leather jacket. When Thor
assumes the throne of Asgard
following Odin's death, he becomes
torn between his duties as king and his
desire to keep mortals from harm. Thor
resolves this by bringing Asgard to
Earth and reshaping the world in his
image. Though his intentions are
noble, a nightmarish future follows as
Thor's reign on Earth becomes
tyrannical. Sif, unwilling to go along
with this new vision, is exiled from
Asgard. Thor eventually marries the
Enchantress and has a son, Magni. As
an adult seeking understanding of
these events, Magni finds Sif, who
influences him to rise up against his
father even though she still loves him.
Following Magni's death in a battle
involving Thor, Thor Girl and Desak,
Thor sees the error of his ways and
travels back in time to undo what he
has done.

After the timeline is reset, Loki brings
about Ragnarök in Asgard, during
which the godly forces swiftly lose
ground. Sif survives the first wave of
losses but loses an arm. She is
rescued by Brunnhilde, who is later
killed by Durok the Demolisher. Sif
honors Brunnhilde's death by taking
her sword and leading the Valkyrior in
the final battle. Sif falls in battle against
Surtur's forces, dying side by side with
Volstagg. All of Asgard falls soon after.
Thor returns in time and restores the
pantheon, beginning with Heimdall.
After resurrecting the other gods,
Donald Blake goes to a hospital to try
to find the reborn Sif. After wrongly
thinking that she was reborn in Donald
Blake's former love, Jane Foster, he
leaves thinking that Sif won't come
back. However, that scene reveals that
Sif was reborn in an elderly woman in
that hospital named Mrs. Chambers,
who is suffering from what is thought
to be terminal cancer. Loki has
masked her from Thor's abilities, giving
her a mirror that shows Sif her true
form but prevents her from revealing
her identity. Her host remains in the
hospital, fighting for her life. Thor
wondered what would happen to the
spirit of an Asgardian if their host died.
Loki later reveals to Thor what
happened to Sif and advises him to
find her before Loki returns to his true
form. Upon learning the truth from Mrs.
Chambers, Jane Foster calls Donald
Blake and informs him that she has
found Sif, and Thor succeeds in
restoring her. With Sif resurrected,
Mrs. Chambers passes away. Sif then
joins Thor in exile in Broxton,
Oklahoma and checks into the same
hotel as Donald Blake under the name
Sylvan. While in Broxton, Sif struggles
with the fact that Loki possessed her
body while she was trapped in Mrs.
Chambers' body. She aids Beta Ray
Bill, whose starship, Skuttlebutt, has
been invaded by virus-infected aliens.
Sif is later seen defending Asgard
during the Siege of Asgard and the
Serpent's War.

of the Crimson Hawk. At some point,
Loki sought a female companionship
and discovered Sigyn. Offering her
jewels, Loki asked her to marry him,
63
but Sigyn was already engaged, and
furthermore despised him. Loki had
her fiancé killed by Geirrodur's Trolls,
led by Ulik, during a mission and used
a spell to take his form. In this
disguise, Loki approached Sigyn and
provoked in her an even more ardent
love, although she had some doubts
about "Theoric". They were eventually
wed by Odin himself, unsuspecting.
When Loki revealed his face, Odin
tried to annul the marriage, but
Asgardian law forbade even the High
Father to do so. Thus, Odin could only
exile Loki, but Sigyn, in tears,
accepted the marriage and decided to
go with him. Impressed, Odin declared
Sigyn the Goddess of Fidelity.
As she was infuriated by Odin after he
imprisoned Loki within a tree, she
followed him while he transported the
true Donald Blake within Wundagore
Mountain. She tried to take control of
that human as a threat over Odin, in
order to obtain Loki's freedom, but her
spell was too weak for Odin's, and
Blake was seemingly obliterated. She
decided to create a Donald Blake
doppelganger to cover her doings, but
forgot her wedding band there. At that
point, Sigyn was given a months-long
mission out of Asgard for Odin. After
Balder was killed by an arrow of blind
Hoder under the manipulations of Loki,
Sigyn returned and asked to
accompany Hoder and guide his
arrows during the Ragnarök. During
Loki's trial, Sigyn had to suffer the
burden of being the evil's wife, bearing
grief for both. Loki was punished for
the murder of Balder to be tied to three
rocks and a snake would drip poison
on his face. Sigyn refused to abandon
him, interceding to Frigga and Odin,
she was allowed to help him: She
collected the venom in a bowl.
However, when the bowl was full,
Sigyn had to leave periodically to
empty it. During this time, the poison
dripped into Loki's eyes, leaving him
cursing Sigyn for her failed efforts. As
the forces of Hel stormed upon
Asgard, Sigyn returned to partner with
Hoder.
While at Loki's side, Sigyn's essence
(like all of Asgard's) was used by Odin
to power the Destroyer armor against
the Celestials. Sigyn was seen
feasting with the Asgardians, reunited
with a grim Loki, after Thor had revived
the Aesir, but was shackled to him. At
some point back to his punishment,
Thor discovered that punishment of
Loki and killed the Serpent while
Sigyn, at Loki's side, freed him. Loki
then lied to Thor, accusing the Frost
Giants for his torment and stating they
had cut Sigyn's tongue out so she
could never speak again. Loki was
allowed to remain in Asgard, sleeping
shackled to Sigyn. Infuriated by his
chains and his wife guarding him, he
revealed that he had acquired the
affections of the Enchantress and of
Karnilla (allegations she didn't
believed), and went to Odin to demand
to be released. the All-Father finally
did, banishing him to an outpost. Sigyn
was left in Asgard and dismissed by
Odin.
Loki eventually returned, and when
Thor was on trial for disrespecting the
rule that no god could dwell Midgard
without the consent of the gods'
majority, Sigyn came to inform her
husband, who faked to at last return
her love. At the trial, Sigyn was among
those to allow him in Midgard, as Loki
enraged at the idea of having Thor
locked in Asgard with him. When Thor
accused Loki of having created the
Menagerie, Sigyn defended him, as
they were still chained to each other.
During his manipulations with Pluto to
kill Thor while trapped in the Realm of
Mephisto, he entered in contact with
Sigyn, faking love again and asking
her to be his spy on Asgard. Pluto and
Loki entering in conflict, the Olympian
had the Light Elf/Fire Demon hybrid
Hrinmeer target Sigyn after having
captured Thor. When Hrinmeer
revealed his "ugly" face, he
manipulated Sigyn's perception for her
to see him as ugly, cancelling her
chances to win his mercy. While Loki
decided to help and sent his astral
form, Hrinmeer learned his relation to
Sigyn, motivating his murder attempt.
Without other means, Loki merged
with Thor, for their combined power
were able to defeat Hrinmeer and his
steed Cerberus, saving Sigyn.
After the two Thors (Odinson and Red
Norvell) went in battle, Sigyn was
among the few Asgardians to hear the
truth about Donald Blake. Using her
mystic skill, she crafted an armor in
which Loki's astral could reside in
Asgard, as his corporeal body was
destroyed in the process that made
him captive of Mephisto's realm and
sworn to find a way to give him flesh
form again. Later, she "welcomed"
Thor at Castle of Loki, pressing him to
leave as he had broken his sacred
oath by coming on their grounds. She
then encouraged Loki to defeat Thor.
While the fight was on, she sent a bird
to summon Sif (accompanied by Red
Norvell) to end the brawl. Sigyn then
explained her role in the existence of
the Donald Blake doppelganger. Loki
soon left her side to fight Thor,
considering their truce over. While Loki
has released her from her marital
vows, she hadn't forsaken him, and
would not as long as she thought he
would be worse without her. At some
point, she died or was killed.

Running Tyr:
Tyr is the first born son of Odin and is,
in many ways, vain, petty and
vindictive over what he sees as Thor
stealing his glory and usurping his
place as the favored son of Odin.
History:
Tyr was the eldest son of Odin,
firstborn after Aldrif) and originally the
God of War and of Heroic Glory in
Asgard famous for his courage. At one
stage, the gods of Asgard were so
afraid of the wolf Fenris that they
decided to shackle him. However,
Fenris was so strong that he could
break any chain they put on him. The
dwarves were paid by the gods to build
a magical ribbon, Gleipnir, from the
roots of a mountain and the beard of a
woman, and the gods asked Fenris to
let them tie him up with Gleipnir as a
game. But Fenris noticed the fear in
the gods and knew they were trying to
deceive them, he then accepted to be
bound if one of the gods accepted to
put his hand in the wolf's mouth, just in
case. Tyr was the only god who
agreed. As soon as Fenris understood
that he was trapped, he ate Tyr's hand.
Thus, Fenris was tied and will remain
that way until the day of Ragnarok. Tyr
would be known as the Leavings of the
Wolf since.
Later, a new god named Thor was
born and became the new defender of
Asgard, replacing Tyr in that role. Tyr
has been resentful since. He distanced
himself from his fellow gods only
appearing when Asgard was in
danger. His presence came to be seen
as a sign that battle and the chance for
glory were near. Tyr was a victim of
cuckoldry and mocked by Loki at one
moment. Tyr has sometimes rebelled
against Odin due to his jealousy
towards Thor. However, he joined the
other gods in defending Asgard from
various threats such as Surtur and
Seth. Eventually, he made peace with
Odin and Thor and was welcomed
back into Asgard. Tyr is destined to kill
and be killed by Garm, the guard dog
of Hel, on the day of Ragnarok.
However, the two poetic versions of
Ragnarok make no mention of Tyr,
and this is only said in the prose
version. Tyr died when Thor initiated a
final Ragnarok.
Tyr was among the Asgardians revived
by Thor. He was summoned to be one
of Balder's chief counselors following
Thor's banishment for killing Bor. Tyr
still resented Thor and often suggested
a more violent approach to conflicts.
Upon warnings of the coming Siege
from a seer Tyr dismissed humans as
being any threat or the prophecy of the
God of War dying during the battle.
Upon realizing the warnings were true
Tyr vowed to fight fate. During the
battle Tyr was given charge of
Asgard's forces when Balder and
Heimdall left to look for Loki. Tyr in an
act of cowardice left the front lines
claiming to go look for anybody else in
the hospital that could wield a sword.
Discovering the dead Olympian War
god Ares and the prophecy referred to
him Tyr was ashamed of himself and
returned to the battle. He was
momentarily struck down and as a
spirit fought the Disir alongside with
the Valkyrie Dani Moonstar. He was
returned to life and after the battle
cursed himself both for his cowardice
and his failure to prepare for Siege.
Tyr later redemmened himself by

and Trivia

Valkyrior, Defenders, Asgardian Gods
Running Valkyrie:
Valkyrie is usually brusque and quick
to action. She is a noble warrior
woman with an unquenchable spirit,
who deems herself to be above most
mortal affairs. “Val” is trying to
understand her relationship with Jack
Norriss, who still sees her as his wife
Barbara, although no such feelings for
him remain. She still feels a sense of
duty to honor and protect him for the
sake of Barbara Norriss. There is one
thing, however, that defines the
personality of the Valkyrie: she is
determined that she needs the help of
no man and that she is the equal, if not
the better, of any male.
History:
At a young age, Brunnhilde and Sif
were two of the few female Asgardians
to enter into training in order to
become warriors. The two girls started
out as rivals due to Sif's jealousy,
believing that the blonde Brunnhilde
would be more competition for winning
the affections of Thor. Even though the
two initially got off to a rough start,
they eventually became allies when
Brunnhilde helped Sif to break an
enchantment on Thor which was
placed by Amora when she used the
Mirror of Mycha. To this day, Sif is
perhaps the only female Asgardian
who may be equal to Brunnhilde in
combat. Once Brunnhilde had grown
and completed her training she was
appointed by the All-Father, Odin, to
lead the Valkyrior in combing the
battlefields for worthy mortals on the
brink of death and leading them to
Valhalla. Brunnhilde was so proficient
at this task and so renowned for her
skills that she was able to maintain this
position of power for centuries.
Recently, Valkyrie's ascension to a
Valkyrie has been explored more in
depth. During her youth, Brunnhilde
frequently trained with Odin's finest
warrior Sigmund, learning many life
and combat lessons from him. During
a battle, Sigmund is hit by an arrow to
his heart whilst protecting Brunnhilde.
Cradling Sigmund's body in tears,
Brunnhilde is found by Odin who
demands she flee and leave the dead.
Valkyrie refuses, much to Odin's
anger, saying that the dead have to be
buried so their souls can be cared for,
calling Odin a Usurper and a monster.
Odin questions that she would
challenge a God over a corpse, in
which Brunnhilde draws her blade,
ready to battle Odin. Impressed, Odin
says that the slain warriors must have
a heaven, offering Brunnhilde as the
guide to show the men to Valhalla,
making her a symbol of hope, turning
Brunnhilde into the Valkyrie.
Brunnhilde and her fellow Valkyries
continued to gather heroic mortal
warriors for Valhalla until roughly a
millennium ago, when Odin was forced
to cease virtually all intercourse with
the Earth in accordance with a pact
that he and the leaders of Earth's other
pantheons of gods made with
extraterrestrial Celestials. From then
onward, the Valkyries could only
choose slain heroes from among fallen
Asgardian warriors. Brunnhilde was
bitter over being barred from choosing
warriors on Earth and roamed Asgard
in pursuit of something meaningful to
do.
In a tavern on the outskirts of
Marmoragard, Brunnhilde encountered
Amora the Enchantress, who offered
her a life of adventure. For several
weeks Brunnhilde accompanied the
Enchantress on her conquests.
Brunnhilde soon discovered Amora's
inclinations towards immorality and
tried to end their partnership. In
response, Amora entrapped
Brunnhilde within a mystic crystal of
souls. With Brunhilde's body remained
in suspended animation, her immortal
soul became Amora's plaything. Over
the centuries the Enchantress used
Brunhilde's spiritual essence to give
the Valkyrie’s powers to herself or to
her pawns. The Enchantress usually
used her magic to alter the recipient's
appearance to resemble Brunnhilde
herself. Specific instances of Amora's
exploitation of the Valkyrie before
recent years are not yet known. The
first time Amora assumed the
Valkyrie's physical aspect in recent
years was in a plot to lead a handful of
female super-humans against the male
Avengers. Her true identity was
discovered, however, and her plan
thwarted. Months later, the
Enchantress bestowed the Valkyries
power upon a socialite named
Samantha Parrington in an attempt to
get revenge on the Hulk. Finally, a
66
woman driven mad by being trapped in
another mystical dimension, Barbera
Norriss, was given the Valkyrie's
power and consciousness by Amora in
order to help the Enchantress and her
erstwhile allies, the group of super-
humans called the Defenders, escape
from the clutches of the sorceress
Casiolena. Amora did not undo her
spell on Norriss after Casiolena's
defeat. As a result, Norriss' body now
possessed Brunhilda's consciousness,
appearance, and powers, while
Norriss' own mental essence was
trapped in Brunhilde's real body in
Asgard. However, thanks to partial
amnesia induced by the Enchantress,
Brunnhilde was unaware that she was
not in possession of her real body and
full memory. Indeed, while trapped in
Norriss' body Brunnhilde personality
lacked much of its usual strength of
will. She was also constantly pursued
by Barbara's husband Jack Norriss,
who refused to accept that she was
not his wife.
Having nowhere else on Earth to go,
the Valkyrie remained with the
Defenders and became a long
standing member of that group. When
Doctor Strange's apprentice Clea tried
to use a spell to show Valkyrie the
pasts of her new friends, they
inadvertently caused the group to have
to relive some of the most difficult
battles of their lives. The Valkyrie
fought alongside the Defenders
against many of their most dangerous
foes, including Attuma and the Red
Ghost, the Brotherhood of Evil
Mutants, Nebulon and the Squadron
Sinister, and was even tricked into
fighting against the Avengers by Loki
and Dormammu. During a battle with
one of the Defenders' foes, Chondu
the Mystic of the mysterious Headmen,
Valkyrie was arrested for accidentally
wrecking the restaurant where the
battle took place. She spent two days
in the Women's Detention Facility in
lower Manhattan while the rest of the
Defenders searched for her. While
there, she was sent to solitary
confinement for striking the warden,
though she broke out in time to stop a
prison riot, before the rest of the
Defenders could even come to her aid.
Kyle Richmond, the Defender's
Nighthawk, then hired Matt Murdock
as the Valkyrie's lawyer and she was
quickly freed. Her costume, however,
had been thrown out by the authorities,
so Clea made a new one for her. It
was not until a minor Asgardian warrior
named Ollerus attempted to take over
Valhalla that the Valkyrie’s two mixed
aspects met for the first time.
Brunhilde's mental essence trapped
Norriss' transformed body, fought
Norriss' mental essence trapped in
Brunhilde's real body. At the end of
that encounter, the Valkyrie’s body,
still possessed by Norriss' mind was
consigned to Niffleheim, the realm
inhabited by the spirits at the non-
heroic Asgardian dead, while
Brunhilde’s mind in Norriss'
transformed body accompanied the
Defenders, who had made the other-
dimensional journey with her, back to
Earth.
For reasons yet unknown, Brunnhilde
was not concerned at this time about
reuniting her mind with her true body.
It was not until Barbara Norriss' body
was murdered that the Valkyrie's spirit
and mind were inadvertently freed
from their mortal host. With the help of
Doctor Strange's magic, Brunnhilde
regained her true body, which was
rescued from Niffleheim by the
Enchantress. Back in her real body,
Brunnhilde regained her full memory
and normal warriors personality as
well. Brunnhilde then battled Amora
and banished her into the crystal of
souls in which she had been trapped.
Feeling estranged from Asgard in
general and Odin in particular for their
neglect of her centuries-long plight,
Brunnhilde chose to return to Earth
with her mortal friends, the Defenders,
rather than to remain in Asgard. She
had joined the Defenders after their
battle with Casiolena and remained
with them continuously until the group
finally came to its end. Odin placed the
dangerously powerful self-styled
goddess Moondragon into Brunhilde's
charge. Brunnhilde was to teach
Moondragon humility, and
Moondragon served alongside
Brunnhilde in the Defenders.
Brunnhilde was to take action against
Moondragon should she again become
a menace. Eventually Moondragon
reformed, but later she fell once again
under the malevolent influence of the
alien entity called the Dragon of the
Moon. Moondragon attacked the
Defenders, but Brunnhilde, given
temporary additional powers by Odin
for this occasion, including the power
to grow to gigantic stature, opposed
her. Brunnhilde summoned other
Valkyries to her aid and together with
two other Defenders, the Angel and
Cloud they battled and, thanks to
Cloud especially, defeated
Moondragon.
Moondragon escaped, however, and
months later Moondragon returned to
attack the Defenders, and during the
encounter her power was vastly
augmented by the alien Beyonder. In
order to defeat the Dragon, Brunnhilde
and the Eternal called Interloper
projected their immortal life forces
against it. They were joined by the
Defender Andromeda and the
Defenders’ former foe Manslaughter,
for it was necessary that Brunnhilde'
and Interloper’s life forces pass
through "mortal instruments" in order
that Moondragon be defeated as well.
Joining hands, the four allies hurled
the tremendous power of their
combined life forces at the Dragon,
Moondragon, and the Gargoyle, whose
body was now under the Dragons
control. Three other Defenders went to
rescue endangered innocents, and
when they returned, Brunnhilde,
Interloper, Andromeda, Manslaughter,
Moondragon and the Gargoyle had all
seemingly been transformed into
statues of ashes and dust, and the
Dragon of the Moon was apparently
gone. When Doctor Strange was on
the brink of death, his astral form
found itself being drawn towards a
realm of the afterlife. His astral form
saw Brunnhilda, who had come to
escort him into the hereafter. Strange,
however, refused, and after
considerable effort, returned to life in
the mortal world. Shortly afterwards,
Brunnhilde returned to a semblance of
life by possessing various mortal
hosts. For a brief time, Brunnhilde
served as a member of "the Dragon
Circle" with the other fallen Defenders
who had returned to life. She
eventually passed on Aragorn and
Dragonfang to Samantha Parrington,
who joined the Defenders as the
Valkyrie's replacement.
Brunnhilde was one among the many
casualties of Ragnarok, having been
killed by Durok the Demolisher. Before
her death, she ceded leadership of the
Valkyries to Sif, who also inherited her
sword Dragonfang upon Brunhilde's
death. However, Aragorn was later
sighted on Earth with Samantha
67
Parrington. Brunnhilde herself has
since apparently returned following the
Asgardians' resurrection and joined the
Secret Avengers. After the events of
Fear Itself Brunnhilde was charged by
Odin to find and destroy the Serpent's
eight remaining Hammers so their
power would not be used again. She
was unable to prevent Sin from
obtaining the hammers and activating
the Final Sleeper, a giant war-
machine. This machine killed
Bruunhilde by snapping her neck, but
she forfeited her place in Valhalla and
that sacrifice enabled the other eight
Valkyrior to return to Midgard and
claim the hammers. Afterward, Freyja
the All-Mother suggested that
Bruunhilde choose and lead a new
team of shieldmaidens from Midgard's
heroines.
Brunnhilde had decided that Midgard
did not possess women strong enough
to replace the Valkyrior, and this did
not form a new team. The absence of
such a team allowed the villainous
Caroline le Fay to plot the return of the
Doom Maidens. Valkyrie met Misty
Knight and Annabelle Riggs, an
archaeologist who found herself
infatuated with Brunnhilde. Hippolyta is
added to their group by Hela, who
sends them to rescue Dani Moonstar.
They arrive too late to stop le Fay from
using Moonstar's powers to revive the
Doom Maidens, and it is revealed that
Brunnhilde used to be one of them.
The group, along with a host of other
heroines, confront the Doom Maidens
at an old ruin. Brunnhilde uses the
ruins to siphon power from Moonstar,
and is transformed into the Doom
Maiden of Rage. She destroys the
Doom Maidens, and then defeats all
the other heroes as well. Annabelle is
able to stop her, but is killed in the
process. Brunnhilde, now in control of
herself, proposes a new team of
Defenders, but is rebuked by an angry
Knight. Thanks to her valiant sacrifice,
Annabelle found herself in Valhalla,
and so Brunnhilde went to that realm.
There, she found Clea and called in a
favor owed. They went to the halls of
Valhalla and found Annabelle, and
Brunnhilde had Clea resurrect her, at a
cost. They return to New York and
Annabelle reunites with Misty, and
then suddenly transforms into Valkyrie.
To revive her, Clea had merged the
lifeforces of Annabelle and Brunnhilde
and is the new host of Valkyrie.

Hogun the Good, Fandral the Quite
Plain, Thor and Loki in Hel, fighting
against all of its hordes for forty days
and nights. Eventually Hogun was hurt
and forced to retreat, helped by
Fandral. Due to the battle, Hogun the
Good became Hogun the Grim, and for
some reason, Fandral the Quite Plain
became Fandral the Dashing later,
while Volstagg started eating every
time and Thor was deemed worthy of
Mjolnir.
In the 13th Century; Fandral was being
chased by a Storm Giant through a
forest in Asgard when he fell through a
portal. He landed on Midgard in
England in an area known as
Nottingham. He took down a group of
soldiers who were harassing the locals
for taxes. It was then that he met a
woman named Marian. It was love at
first site and she told him of the local
governor who was stealing from the
poor. He helped where he could
robbing the rich to give to the poor.
Over time he formed a band of Merry
Men to help him. Working together he
took down the governor and the false
king as the true king returned to the
throne. He married Marian and they
settled in a home not far from
Nottingham. However due to her
mortal nature she aged and died while
Fandral remained unchanged. After
her death he returned to Asgard
through a portal. It remained unclear if
he truly was the inspiration for the
legend of Robin Hood.
Fandral and the Warriors Three
accompanied Thor on a ship as they
journeyed through the Sea of Fear and
through the Pillars of Utgard, tossed by
violent waters. Loki staged a mutiny
with the aid of the dissenting Kroda
and Magrat, splitting the crew in half
and starting a fight between the two
factions. Fandral and the Warriors
Three sided with Thor and battled on
as the ship headed toward the
Dragon's Jaws. As their ship entered
this lethal region, the battle was
broken off by the sound of Balder, who
had climbed to the top of the ship's
masthead with a great horn, in hopes
that its power might steer them to
safety. Balder succeeded and the Jaw
was blown to bits, allowing their ship to
pass onto the next leg of their journey.
Detecting the ship, Queen Ula of the
Flying Trolls sent a squad to raid the
ship. Balder the Brave had collapsed
in exhaustion from using the giant
horn. He was then nursed back to
consciousness by Fandral and Hogun.
Fandral led the Warriors Three in a
counter attack to defend their ship
from the looting Trolls. Loki unleashed
a potion into the air that poisoned the
Trolls. With the battle over, Loki took
all the credit and gloated. Ula had
anticipated this move and ordered her
men to prepare a fitting welcome for
the sons of Odin. Loki was captured by
Ula, and Thor left to rescue him.
Before Fandral and the Warriors Three
were able to leave for a rescue attempt
Thor and Loki appeared on the ship.
Odin then appeared in a blinding flash
and informed them that their quest was
done and that they could return to
Asgard.
The Warriors Three returned home to
learn news that Ragnarök loomed for
Asgard. Odin showed them visions of
their destruction. With the visions over,
Odin asked all gathered what they
thought about what they had seen as it
was said Loki would be the cause of
Ragnarok. Loki was tossed into the
Well of Eternal Sleep, thereby
preventing the coming of Ragnarok.
Odin then called for his son and the
Warriors Three. He requested they
travel to Muspelheim and retrieve the
Warlock Eye from the Temple of
Mystics as it too was prophesied to be
used to bring about Ragnarok.
However the Warlock Eye had been
taken by Harokin. He used the Eye's
power to destroy the Fire Demons. As
this battle raged on, Fandral and his
friends began their journey. Fandral
and the group fought Harokin's forces,
and during the battle Thor sneaked
into Harokin's chambers, knocked him
out and took his place to retrieve the
Eye. Posing as Harokin, Thor ordered
Harokin's army to take the Warriors
Three as live prisoners. With Harokin's
army defeated, and the Warlock Eye in
their possession, the friends traveled
home. Fandral helped Hogun in
defeating the conqueror Mogol of the
Mystic Mountan who had slaughtered
69
his people. Fandral once joined Thor
on an odd mission to find a sorcerer
named Ulagg. Using a twig of the
World Tree Yggdrasill, they restored
life to a ravaged world that had
continental configurations resembling
that of modern day Earth that had
hosted a race of "evil mortals".
He along with the other Asgardians,
was thought to have been killed after
the events of Ragnarok. The
Asgardians, however, ended up being
trapped inside the bodies of people
around the world. After Thor's rebirth
as Dr. Donald Blake, he went looking
for the other Asgardians in order to
restore Asgard in the city of Broxton,
Oklahoma. When Dr. Blake, traveled
to Africa on behalf of the Doctors
Without Borders, an organization
dedicated to providing medical care to
people who cannot get it. There a
doctor introduced him to three soldiers
of fortune: Rolf Mueller, an imposing,
long-winded native of Berlin; the short-
spoken Leo Kincaid of San Francisco;
and Trevor Newly, a beret-wearing
lightweight from London. All three had
joined two years previous, specifically
requested this posting, and been
eagerly awaiting Blake's arrival. The
conversation was interrupted by a
Ngare attack, and Dr. Lereaux was
rendered unconscious or dead by a
suicide bomber. Blake, caught in the
blast, belatedly warned the guards as
several Ngare attacked with automatic
weapons and rocket launchers. The
guards entered the battle, but were
outmatched until Blake reached his
cane and transformed into Thor.
Unprepared to deal with the god, the
Ngare retreated. Thor then confronted
the three guards, and questioned them
on the events that brought them here.
Observing that "there is no such thing
as a coincidence," he used Mjolnir to
restore the Warriors Three from the
guard's bodies. Thor suggested that
they pursue the Ngare, but were
stopped by a village elder who said
that Africa's problems could only be
solved by Africans, not by white men
or even Gods. Thor decided to give the
village some peace, and called on the
power of his mother, Jord, to separate
the two villages with a great chasm.
After the exile of Thor from Asgard, the
Warriors Three decided to also go on
some of their own adventures around
on Midgard

Personality:
Hogun is quiet and reserved, keeping
his own council and speaking only
when he must. His friendship is difficult
to earn, but once he has given, he
goes to great lengths to protect his
friends. His manner is stoic and
somewhat sour in the best of times
and downright grisly when defeat
seems certain.
History:
Hogun is not Aesir like most of the
Asgardians. Also, his unnamed
homeland was conquered long ago by
Mogul of the Mystic Mountain, who
slew Hogun's forebears and laid waste
to the land. He joined Volstagg and
Fandral to judge a dare and formed a
lifelong friendship. This dare, the
"petting" of the Fenris wolf, led to a
defeat for all three men.. He is
primarily characterized by his brusque,
taciturn, and often short-tempered
demeanor. He is the brooding
pessimist of the group, as opposed to
Volstagg's irrepressible good humor
and Fandral's brash heroism. He is a
fierce and unrelenting warrior, a
collector of weaponry and often the
voice of reason for the Warriors Three.
Hogun has been involved in a great
many adventures and quests, as a
member of the Warriors Three, as an
ally of Thor, and on his own. When first
seen, Hogun had joined the quest for
the power that had cracked the
Oversword of Asgard. Soon after that,
he helped quell a mutiny led by Loki.
He then helped repel an attack of
Flying Trolls in Thryheim. With Thor,
he helped defeat the forces of Harokin.
With Thor, he then battled the dragon
Fafnir. With Thor, he defeated the
Mogul of the Mystic Mountain, who
had destroyed Hogun's homeland so
long ago. He helped defend Asgard
from the Destroyer. He encountered
the Hulk.
Hogun helped defend Asgard against
Mangog. He encountered the Silver
Surfer. With Thor, he battled the
Thermal Man. He helped defend
Asgard against Surtur. He helped Thor
escape Mephisto. He became
entranced by Infinity and was forced to
battle Thor, Balder, Sif, and other
Asgardians. He was freed from his
trance by Loki and Karnilla. Hogun is
the first to fight back when Loki takes
confront of Asgard; he attempts to
destroy the villain's power ring with his
mace. This fails and Sif talks Loki out
of murdering Hogun on the spot. With
Thor, he was sent on a quest by Odin,
but returned to help defend Asgard
against Mangog again. He was
seemingly destroyed by Pluto. but was
actually sent to Earth by Odin. With
Thor, he battled Ego-Prime, was exiled
to Earth, but then abducted by
Mephisto, and ultimately freed by Thor.
With Thor and company, he set out on
a quest to find the missing Odin. He
battled Sssthgar's slavers, Mercurio,
and Xorr. He defeated doppelgangers
created by the wizard Igron. With Thor,
Hogun later battled Zarrko the
Tomorrow Man. He defeated diamond
exchange robbers in New York. With
Thor, he helped depose the usurpers
Mangog and Igron. With Thor, he set
out on a quest to find Odin, who was
missing again. He battled Spoor, the
Grey Gargoyle, and the Soul-
Survivors. He defeated the
Executioner and the Enchantress. He
battled the Destroyer and Loki. He
helped defend Asgard against
Ragnarok. He battled the dragon
Fafnir again. Hogun later battled the
forces of Surtur on Earth. Later,

Volstagg adopts two orphaned boys
from Earth, Kevin and Mick. Hogun
realizes the boys needed something
more in order to grow and prosper in
Asgard. He gave them portions of the
Apples of Idunn, fruit that gave the
gods long life and strength. Hogun and
Fandral also convey to the boys that
any child of Volstagg's is their child as
well and will be watched out for. He
was then sent to Earth to locate Thor,
but suffered a concussion and
dementia. He battled Daredevil, and
was marked for death by Seth. Hogun
learned the value of trickery and
silliness over a mace blow in an
adventure that saved a stricken
groomsman and saved Asgard from
certain doom. He helped to defend
Asgard against the forces of Seth. His
quest with Thor to seek Ulagg the
Grand Enchanter was later recounted.
He helped the Avengers battle
Blastaar. He was rescued from Flying
Trolls by the New Mutants. Hogun also
helped battle Ymir and Surtur.
Thor and the Warriors Three are sent
on a quest as penance for accidentally
killing an enemy giant during a time of
peace. Hogun heroically endures the
assaults of the Egyptian god, Thoth, to
shout three names at Thoth's temple to
fulfill their quest. He was also the only
member of the group able to dominate
the bloodthirsty spirit of Chulain's
spear, and prevent a murderous
rampage. Although the group fails in
their quest, through the use of each
warrior's unique capabilities, the
adventure eventually comes to a good
end. Hogun dies in Ragnarök fairly
early. Later, however, he is found alive
and well, under the name Leo Kincaid,
and was restored by Thor. He
establishes a new life in Asgard.
Hogun is one of the army of
Asgardians and Earth based heroes
who help protect it during the 'Siege'
invasion; Norman Osborn had
attacked with an army of Earth
supervillains. When Thor vanishes and
Mjolnir chooses a female wielder,
Hogun and Fandral quest throughout
the known galaxy for the Odinson. This
is especially important as Odin himself
has become irrational. Volstagg
chooses to stay behind, having taken
on many duties, including the care of
Thor's lady love Jane Foster, who has
become ill.

glorious exploits for all time. Volstagg
and his family also encountered the
New Mutants. During the group's first
trip to Asgard, Volstagg made friends
with Roberto da Costa, aka Sunspot,
challenging him to feats of strength,
including arm-wrestling and the lifting
of Volstagg himself. In the group's
second visit, Volstagg's children
encountered Boom Boom, Hrimhari
and Warlock, who were on the run
from Hela's forces, who were following
through with a plan to kill Odin and
conquer Asgard. The children switched
places with the group so as to impress
their elders with the seriousness of the
situation. They told the heroes of
Tiwaz, a powerful sorcerer who might
help them in the fight. Hrimhari, wolf-
prince of a far-away tribe of wolf-
people, told the children that tales of
Volstagg's children were told to his
people and it was an honor to be in
their debt. Volstagg later personally
participated in the battle against Hela's
forces, working with his Warriors Three
comrades and other Asgardian forces;
in the end Odin was saved. Soon after
this point, when Odin was awake and
aware, his mind became overtaken by
the influence of Loki. Persecuted, the
Warriors Three were forced to go on
the run, gaining a new ally in the form
of a heroic, young palace guardsman.
Volstagg seemed to know more about
the raising of the mug than the raising
of the sword. Ironically, whenever his
courage failed, Volstagg's innate
clumsiness would somehow seize
victory from the jaws of defeat. In a
typically Kirbyesque touch, Volstagg
inadvertently saved his companions'
lives on at least two occasions by
stumbling onto the one weapon
capable of saving the day. It has also
been hinted at on numerous occasions
that he ceased his full time warrior's
life to be a husband and father.
Eventually, Loki brought about
Ragnarok. Volstagg, alone of the
Warriors Three, survived the initial
attacks. He was later discovered by
Thor taking refuge in a statue of Frigga
and having lost considerable weight.
He united with Thor and eventually
fought in the final battle of Ragnarok.
There, along with the rest of Asgard,
he died. As the other Asgardians, he
returned, this time to Midgard, where a
new version of Asgard had arisen in
the Midwest of the United States.
Volstagg was later set up by Norman
Osborn and Loki, and inadvertently
caused the deaths of thousands of
American citizens when he
accidentally destroyed the packed
stadium of Soldier Field while fighting
the U-Foes. This tragedy was used by
Osborn to justify the fateful siege of
Asgard which would culminate in its
eventual destruction. When Odin
planned to destroy the Earth to save
the rest of the known worlds from the
Fear Serpent, Volstagg was forced to
be one of many to keep Thor under
control. Odin soon changed his plans,
leading an army to Midgard to slay the
Serpent. The Warriors Three, at the
forefront, were just in time to see the
Serpent and Thor slay each other in
battle. When the ancient fire demon
Surtur used the grudges the Vanaheim
have against Asgard it inflamed a war
that affected the Nine Realms. When
Volstagg thought Loki was part of it, a
suggestion to imprison the trickster led
Thor to battle the Warriors Three. After
the All-Mother lost their rulership of
Asgard due to their connection to the
Vanaheim, Volstagg became the new
ruler. He led a war through much of
the Nine Realms. He tried to give a
pardon to the All-Mother, but they
refused, saying the people's trust did
not match Volstagg's. Later, Surtur's
forces were defeated thanks to Loki
and Volstagg stepped down to rule
only over his family once again.
Having become a senator of the
Congress of Worlds Volstagg travelled
to Nidavellir as part of a diplomatic
mission concerning Light Elf refugees
displaced from Alfheim due to
Malekith's attacks. When the camp
was attacked by forces from
Muspelheim, Volstagg tried to ensure
the safety of a group of children he
found among the destruction caused
by the attack. While making their way
through the fiery warzone, Volstagg
and the children were targeted by an
explosion, of which only Volstagg
emerged alive. Seeking retribution and
a way to put an end to the war that
ravaged the Ten Realms, Volstagg
was called to the abandoned City of
Asgard in the Asgard-realm by the
Mjolnir of an alternate universe which
laid unclaimed. Volstagg lifted the
hammer, and obtained the power of
Thor. After Fire Demons from
Muspelheim attacked Light Elf
72
refugees in Nidavellir, Volstagg chose
to take the fight to Muspelheim itself
and battled its ruler Sindr, the Queen
of Cinders. He then brought down a
torrential rainstorm to flood
Muspelheim and wipe out its entire
population. The new Thor Jane Foster
was forced to step in to prevent
Volstagg from committing genocide by
transporting herself and Volstagg to
the Yawning Void.
An angry Volstagg fought Thor until
their fight took them to Svartalfheim.
Odinson then appeared and took
Thor's place in the fight. After learning
from Roz Solomon that Volstagg was
War Thor, Thor reverted to her human
form and used her friendship with
Volstagg to successfully convince him
to end his rampage, let go of his rage,
and give up being War Thor. Volstagg
returned to Asgardia where he was to
receive treatment for mental effects
the Mjolnir had on him when the
hammer unexpectedly appeared.
Volstagg became drawn to the
hammer and walked over to it while his
friends futilely tried to stop him from
reclaiming it. When Volstagg lifted the
hammer, he once again became the
War Thor and flew off. Even while
clutching the hammer, Volstagg was
conflicted on whether to continue
being the War Thor. While in the
Asgard-realm, he was ambushed by
Odinson's goat Toothgnasher who
Odinson put in charge of guarding the
hammer. Volstagg prepared to battle
Toothgnasher when a giant hand
suddenly appeared and grabbed
Toothgnasher before killing him. The
hand belonged to the monster Mangog
who had somehow returned to life to
wipe out the Asgardians. Volstagg
fearlessly charged at Mangog to
prevent this from happening. However,
Volstagg was no match for Mangog
and was brutally beaten down before
having his Mjolnir destroyed. Mangog
then punched Volstagg toward the
edge of Old Asgard. Mangog
demanded that Volstagg tell him where
the Asgardians were. Volstagg
vehemently refused. Before Mangog
could finish Volstagg off, Malekith
appeared and informed Mangog of the
locations of the Asgardians, the city of
Asgardia. After Mangog left for
Asgardia, Malekith stabbed Volstagg's
hand with a dagger so he could fall to
his doom.

Running Aegir:
Whenever the Vikings saw huge
waves coming towards their ships,
they knew that Aegir was close by. If
the Vikings had some prisoners they
would sometimes sacrifice some of
them in the hope of a safe passage.
But Aegir was often very unforgiving
and cruel and would in his lust for
more treasures especially gold, smash
their ships into pieces of wood.
History:
Aegir was the God of the Seas. He
lived in a castle made of coral
underwater beneath the Island of
Hlesey, guarded by Fish-Men, and had
a life of joy, thanks to the
companionship of the Ocean-Nymphs.
At some point, he sired three
Mermaidens, including Rana. After
Loki had Hoder kill Balder with a
mistletoe arrow, Aegir held a feast at
Odin's behest, for the Aesir to discuss
the incoming Ragnarök, without Loki.

Running Agnar of Vanaheim:
Agnar is a hotheaded young man,
looking for glory and honor and
sometimes not thinking things through.
History:
Agnar was the son of Hrothgar. They
lived in Vanaheim. Agnar came to
Asgard to challenge Balder, reported
to be a skilled warrior, but Balder
denied him and Agnar was removed
by Volstagg, telling him the story of
Balder and using Hogun the Grim as a
threat if Agnar wished to harm Balder.
Anyway, Agnar followed Balder when
he sought to die by abandoning
himself in a desert beyond the Norn
Kingdom. Agnar had trouble following
Balder, but witnessed him attacking a
Giant Sand Devil with a stick in order
73
to protect a woman. In that, Agnar saw
Balder's bravery. Unable to assist
Balder, too much frightened, Agnar
threw his sword for Balder to defend
himself against the creature allowing
him to win. As Balder disappeared
along with the woman he saved by
teleporting, Agnar retrieved his sword.
He swore he would find Balder, to offer
him his sword. Balder returned in an
instant from the Norns, riding a horse.
As he saw Agnar, he pretended to not
recognize him, and took him with him
to help defend Asgard against a threat.
Once in Asgard, Balder left, promising
Agnar another meeting. Needing to
know the way home, Thor sent Agnar
to retrieve Balder in Nornheim. Along
with Hogun, Agnar returned to Asgard,
announcing that the Giants of
Jotunheim were waging war against
Asgard. He then greeted welcome to
the returning Balder. His current
whereabouts are unknown.

Running Arko:
Arko is a bright, enthusiastic young
warrior who idolized Balder and the
Warriors 3. He grew up wanting to
honor his heroes and that is in fact
what he did.
History:
As Arko grew up in Asgard, he
witnessed many of its greatest heroes
from afar, including the Warriors
Three, Thor and Heimdall, and
dreamed of becoming a hero like
them. Eventually, he became a
member of the palace guard. Arko was
forced to leave behind his pregnant
wife Deilla as Asgard was assaulted by
Ymir. He rode to his station, and
assisted in the firing of a flame missile
at Ymir, but Ymir shrugged off the
assault. Ymir began hurling boulders
at the Asgardians' defensive line and
Arko was nearly crushed, but Balder
pulled him to safety, and attempted to
rally him back to the battle. Balder
dragged Arko back so that he could
rest, but Arko refused to rest while his
wife and unborn child were threatened
by Ymir. Just then, Surtur appeared to
challenge Ymir. As the two giant
grappled, Arko saved a woman and
her child from being crushed by debris.
They reminded him of his own wife
and unborn child. Ultimately, Ymir and
Surtur were defeated by Thor, and
Arko returned to Deilla to find that his
son had been born safely. While
guarding Odin's chambers, Arko
overheard Odin (possessed by Loki)
discussing treason with Karnilla, he
alerted the Warriors Three. Arko and
the Warriors Three were assaulted by
"Odin", and Arko was knocked
unconscious. Arko and the Warriors
Three were brought by the Crimson
Hawks to be executed, but at the last
moment, Arko was saved by the
Enchantress, who set him and the
Warriors Three free. She teleported
them to safety so that they could
discuss their next move.
As the Enchantress and the Warriors
Three argued, Arko recalled his past,
and finally inspired the Warriors Three
to join the uprising against Odin.
Fandral was so impressed by Arko's
words that he suggested they should
change their name to "the Warriors
Four." The five conspirators returned
to Asgard just in time to aid Sif and
Balder against Karnilla, while the Eric
Masterson Thor battled "Odin." The
struggle finally ended when Sif
restored Odin to his own body, and
had Loki driven out. The Warriors
Three held a celebration for Arko in an
Asgardian tavern along with the
Crimson Hawks, but their revelry was
interrupted by a brawl between Thor
and Eric Masterson, which resulted in
the entire tavern launching into a
barfight. Arko and the Warriors Three
tried to halt the battle, but were told by
Balder and Sif to let it be played out.

Running Bor:
Bor is a vicious, angry god and isn't
above punishing those who deems
worthy of his anger. He is prideful and
arrogant, thinking that none can defeat
or overpower him.
History:
Bor was among the gods that created
the universe. He and his wife, Bestla,
had a son and called him Odin. Bor
taught his son to fight, think, rule and
serve, but most importantly, Bor taught
Odin how to defend the dreams of his
father. What Bor should have
educated Odin in is what it meant to
have dreams of his own, for when
Odin did dream, he dreamt about
Earth. He wanted to make a legacy for
himself there, so Odin created man.
Bor was not pleased with his son's
decision, and he unleashed every
punishment upon the mortal plane
within his power to bring.
One fateful day, during a great war
between the Asgardians and the Frost
Giants, Odin would have his chance to
continue his plans for mankind. Bor
was among those fighting but left the
main battle to pursue a fleeing giant.
Bor stumbled into a trap set for him by
a powerful sorcerer who turned Bor
into snow. Odin came upon his father
as the wind was pulling Bor's form
apart, but before he was completely
gone, Bor asked his son to find a
sorcerer strong enough to restore him.
He told Odin his spirit would rest in the
snow until he was recalled. Odin told
the other Asgardians his father had
perished and was proclaimed king the
same day. Each winter, Odin could
swear he would hear the voice of his
father calling to him, but more and
more Odin would ignore the voice until
he could no longer hear it.
Much later, it was revealed an adult
Loki was the powerful sorcerer who set
the trap for Bor. He, aided by the death
goddess, Hela, traveled into the past
and instigated the battle between the
age-old enemies merely so he could
be rid of Bor and ensure his place
among the royal family of Asgard.
Upon his return to the wintry present,
Loki used his magic to restore Bor
from the snow. However, he also
placed a spell on Bor to alter his
perception of the world around him.
Humans looked like demons. Vehicles
appeared to be giant monsters. and fire and darkness shall follow

Running Tiwaz:
Buri has lived long enough that he has
mellowed with age and has taken to
wandering rather than actively trying to
gather worshippers. He has taken on a
grandfatherly air and watches over
Asgard, Thor and the 10 realms as
though they were his children.
History:
Buri was the first-born of the Aesir who
were worshiped as gods by the ancient
Viking and Germanic tribes of Northern
Europe. In Norse lore, Buri was the
third entity to arise in creation, after the
giant Ymir and the cow Audumla who
found him in Niffleheim. He was
succeeded by Bor after his son bested
him in combat, and his other son Njord
left to found Vanaheim and sire the
Vanir. Bor in turn took a wife (the
giantess Bestla) and fathered his sons.
As Bor founded Asgard, home of the
Aesir, Buri went to live recluse as
Tiwaz in the northern reaches of
Asgard, in Nastrond, living among
ephemerous servants he created by
sculpting ice and animated with life.
After Bor's death, Odin challenged and
bested Buri as well. During the
Aesir/Vanir War, Tiwaz witnessed from
afar the death of Mimir (a peace
hostage given by Odin), decapitated
by the Vanir, and the eventual
annexation of the Vanir to Asgard. He
was eventually forgotten by the
Asgardians. After Thor was born, Buri
visited him.
He learned about Odin's death, and
left footsteps for the grieving Thor to
follow. He later discovered him after a
brutal battle with Hela and took him
and Mjolnir to his home. He nursed
Thor back to health, wrestling with him
in friendly matches to test him. Thor
once believed him to be Odin, but
Tiwaz proved him wrong. The sorcerer
also refuted the story told by Odin's
Eye about Odin's origin. He returned to
normal strength and was able to beat
Tiwaz. He then encouraged Thor to
return to Asgard, and the Odinson
departed Tiwaz's company, unaware
that he was in fact Buri. He was
directed to Frigga and the children who
had wet in hiding during Surtur's attack
on Asgard.
Thor told Volstagg's children about
Tiwaz, and they later freed Hrimhari,
Boom Boom and Warlock from an
Asgardian prison, sending them to
recruit the aid of the Giant-sorcerer.
They had nearly reached Tiwaz's
dwelling, when they were caught in a
net and captured by a Frost Giant
serving Hela. They escaped from the
Frost Giant's grasp, and Tiwaz
appeared, imprisoning the Frost Giant
in a block of ice. Tiwaz brought them
into his cave, warmed them up and
advised them on the true extent of
76
Hela's threat and of her new sword,
able to slay Odin and fell the World
Tree.
Tiwaz revealed the location of the
Warriors Three and sent Hrimhari and
the two New Mutants to free them from
Queen Ula and her Savage Swarm of
Hive Trolls. Tiwaz stayed behind and
watched them. They managed to free
the Warriors Three, though it required
Tiwaz's magic to shrink Volstagg so
that Warlock could fly him away. Later
Tiwaz monitored from his home
Karnilla's attempt to revive one of her
stone-petrified men. She failed, but
Tiwaz concentrated the excess magic
from her spell to revive all people of
Nornheim, still in their stone form. With
Tiwaz' secret support, Hela's army was
defeated and retreated to Hel. He later
sent an ice-fairy to Asgard,
transporting a vial using whose content
transformed the people of Nornheim
back into men of flesh and blood, and
a map allowing the New Mutants to
return to Midgard. His fate after
Ragnarök and the return of the
Asgardians is unrevealed.

Running Casiolena:
Angry, viciously fixated and crazier
than a central park rat Casiolena is a
grade-A psycho looking to steal
whatever glory and fame she believes
Amora owes her.
History:
Enchantress in particular has always
been a problem for Casiolena, with her
banishment from Asgard occurring
after she was mistaken for Amora and
made a scene during a dinner. She
served as a queen of her new realm,
and got the upper hand on Amora by
seducing her long-time consort
Skurge, making her angry. Later, the
Defenders were transported to
Casiolena's realm after their battle with
the Nameless One. They were quickly
defeated by Casiolena's forces, led by
the Executioner and Fragon. They
were placed in Casiolena's dungeon
where they met the Black Knight, the
Enchantress and an insane Barbara
Norriss. The Enchantress transformed
Norriss into the Asgardian warrior, the
Valkyrie, who helped the group escape
and renew their attack on Casiolena's
forces. While the Valkyrie restrained
Casiolena, the Enchantress blasted
her with bolts of mystical energy,
seemingly killing her.
Sent to Valhalla, Casiolena would
return as an ally of Ollerus the
Unmerciful, a dead and unworthy
Asgardian warrior who planned to
usurp Hela's position and become the
new Asgardian God of Death. She
helped Ollerus' plan of bringing the
Defenders to his aid by splitting
Brunnhilde and Norriss again, and
making the latter pose as Valkyrie,
using a fake Aragorn created by
Casiolena. She even asked Ollerus to
recruit first "a fair-haired man" in New
York City to add to his army. However,
once the true Valkyrie broke free, the
Defenders rallied with Hela's forces
against the forces of Ollerus and,
when the Hulk destroyed Ollerus's
mountain, proved triumphant.
Many years later, Casiolena and her
henchman Poppo the Cunning
managed to break free from Niffleheim
and mount a base in a hospital at
Roosevelt Island. She started
recruiting people for an army that
would help her control of Midgard. One
of her minions, revealed Hellcat, one
of the Defenders who foiled her, was
also looking to help the gifted.
Casiolena then announced that
anyone who joining her would be
rewarded, and orders Bailey to capture
her. Bailey returns as the prisoner of
Hellcat and Valkryie, leading an angry
Casiolena to render them all prisoner
in a magic cage. Casiolena then
showed her recruits wreaking havoc
around New York city, explaining that
the minions enroll following her
promise to give them magic to solve
their own problems - something
Casiolena could not do given she is an
Asgardian exile, but "they do not know
that" - and the chaos would help
distract possible heroes. After
Casiolena ordered Poppo to restrain
Aragorn and the prisoners, the latter
part ended leading to Poppo being
gagged with tape. Following Hellcat
comparing Casiolena to Enchantress,
the sorceress threw a fit and attacked
the prisoners and Poppo with her
magic. Suddenly, Hellcat's friends
She-Hulk and Ian Soo broke into the
facility riding on Aragorn, and She-
Hulk tackled Casiolena. As Poppo
declined on helping Casiolena, the
sorceress tried to kill him with a
boulder made out of debris, being
stopped by Ian's telekinesis.
Hellcat then pounced on Casiolena,
defeating the Asgardian, as Valkyrie
and She-Hulk helped contain her.
Poppo revealed he was the one who
called for help, tired of Casiolena's
grumpy behavior and all the bad
experiences she forced on him.
Casiolena tried to berate Hellcat's plan
to help powered people saying "there
are those within whom there is no
good to find", to which Patsy replied
that compassion is not a weakness
and she will always try to find the best
in people, and that unlike Casiolena "I
know the difference between being a
villain and making a mistake". Valkyrie
then carried the tied Casiolena and
77
Poppo in Aragorn's back, promising to
return once the sorceress was dealt
with.

Running Gruenhilda:
Gruenhilda takes her job as a Valkyrie
and trainer to Thunderstrike very
serious. She is like a Marine Drill
Instructor, turned up to 11.
History:
Gruenhilda was tasked to instruct
Kevin Masterson how to properly wield
the Thunderstrike mace by the
Asgardian goddesses Sif and Hecara
after Steve Rogers gave it to the boy;
the Asgardians felt Kevin's father was
owed a debt of gratitude for his
courage and honor by first merging
with, then briefly replacing Thor (Thor
Odinson) after the thunder god was
banished. When Thor returned, Odin
created the Thunderstrike mace, gave
it to Kevin's father, and he became the
hero Thunderstrike (Eric Masterson)
whose final act was to sacrifice himself
to save the world. Now that the mantle
had passed from father to son, the
debt could be repaid.
On Earth, Gruenhilda found Kevin just
as he was attacked by the Spartans
strike force of the sports mogul Adam
Mann. They were trying to secure the
mace for their employer who sought to
steal its power. Although a valiant
warrior, Gruenhilda could not prevent
them from taking the mace, but she
saved Kevin's life and the life of his
adoptive-father, Bobby Steele. Staying
with Kevin in an adopted civilian
identity of Hilda Grune, they infiltrated
Mann's home to retrieve the mace, and
Gruenhilda led the attack against
Mangog after the demon was
accidentally summoned through
Mann's Mysticator; a machine meant
to supply him with God Force by
siphoning the power of ancient
artifacts. Gruenhilda was not powerful
enough to defeat the beast, but she
saved Kevin from being devoured by it.
Fighting side-by-side with the
Avengers to prevent Mangog from
destroying New York City, she helped
Kevin (as Thunderstrike) and Thor
exile the creature elsewhere.
Afterward, Gruenhilda was with Kevin
as he challenged the Rhino (Aleksei
Sytsevich) to a rematch.

Running Harald Jaekelsson:
Harald Jaelkelsson was a cruel,
vicious man with appetites beyond his
reach. The curse that was laid upon
him and his crew gave him arroence
and pride he never should have had,
allowing him to battle even the gods he
worshipped at one time. In the end his
pride cost him everything.
History:
Little has been recorded of Harald
Jaekelsson's early life. By the year
1003, Jaekelsson had become the
leader of a ship of Viking warriors,
routinely leading his crew on voyages
to raid the lands of the English and the
Welsh, with many of these voyages
launching from the coastal town of
Lakstad. The tendency of Jaekelsson's
crew to steal barrels of mead and
slaughter the village's livestock caused
the Lakstad residents to complain to
the King of Norway, which brought
repercussions down on the Vikings. In
an act of retaliation, Jaekelsson lead
his crew in a raid on Lakstad, with his
crew destroying the town. Jaekelsson
and his crew murdered all the men and
children of the town, and had their way
with the women before killing them as
well. While the crew celebrated their
raid with food and drink, Jaekelsson
informed his men that they would sail
to the New World, where they would
be free to raid and pillage unopposed.
As Jaekelsson's crew set sail, the town
wise man, the sole survivor of the raid,
called out a curse upon the Viking
crew. Calling on the power of a rune
stone, the wise man damned the
Vikings to sail for a thousand years
without reaching their destination, only
to be killed with an arrow fired by
Jaekelsson.
The wise man's curse on Jaekelsson's
crew would come to pass; the crew
sailed the seas day after day, year
after year, never spotting land in any
direction, for a thousand years, until, in
2003, Jaekelsson's ship spotted land
in the form of Manhattan's South
Street Seaport. Making landfall,
Jaekelsson and crew immediately
begin slaughtering every citizen in
sight, with many of their victims
believing the scene unfolding before
them to be a film shoot, or a prank set
up for a hidden camera television
program. As the citizens realize the
situation is real, they flee, drawing the
attention of N.Y.P.D. officers, a
number of whom Jaekelsson
personally dispatches. As his crew
spread into the surrounding city
causing mayhem and destruction,
Jaekelsson was brought a young
woman by his crew as a sexual
offering. Before Jaekelsson could rape
the woman, Thor appeared in the sky,
and rescued the woman from the
Vikings. Thor then challenged
Jaekelsson to combat, but was taken
off-guard when Jaekelsson appeared
unaffected by a strike to the chest from
Mjolnir, the knock back of which broke
both of Thor's wrists. Finding Thor no
threat, Jeakelsson dismissed his crew
to begin pillaging the city, and
proceeded to pummel the God of
Thunder. Despite Thor's best effort, all
82
attempts to attack Jaekelsson resulted
in further injury to himself. With Thor
too exhausted to put up a defense,
Jaekelsson took chains and used them
to anchor Mjolnir around Thor's neck,
before kicking the God of Thunder into
the East River. Jaekelsson then
regrouped with his crew, who had
retreated from battle after an influx of
N.Y.P.D. officers and U.S. Soldiers
made their way into the heart of the
city. Taking to the skies in their
longship, the Vikings, lead by
Jaekelsson, quickly disposed of the
soldiers and officers in a matter of
minutes.
As more and more of Manhattan fell to
Jaekelsson and his forces, Jaekelsson
observed his crew's progress from the
high ground, and eventually killed the
Mayor of New York City with a spear.
While Jaekelsson scouted out a base
of operations for himself, his crew
dispatched both the Avengers and an
entire regiment of Marines. Eventually
settling on the Woolworth Building,
Jaekelsson used the bones of tall
victims to build himself a throne on the
roof.
Sensing danger, Jaekelsson prepared
to set out on his longboat with a
number of crewmen, but was attacked
by fighter pilot Erik Lonnroth, one of
three warriors from the past brought to
the modern day by Thor and Dr.
Strange to combat Jaekelsson. While
Lonnroth continued his attacks on the
ship, Jaekelsson quietly slipped to the
ground below, where Thor and his new
comrades Sigrid and Sir Magnus were
steadily dispatching Jaekelsson's
Vikings.
Using the element of surprise,
Jaekelsson was able to sneak behind
and run Thor through with his sword
before quickly incapacitating Sigrid
and Magnus. Unfazed by his injuries,
Thor engaged Jaekelsson in combat,
striking him with enough force to
remove a section of Jaekelssons skull.
Trading words and blows, the two
warriors continued inflicting injuries on
one another, with Jaekelsson losing
his left arm to a blow by Mjolnir, and
Jaekelsson tearing flesh from Thor's
hand with his teeth. Gaining the upper
hand, Jaekelsson began choking Thor,
bringing the God of Thunder to his
knees. As Thor began to pass out,
Jaekelsson questioned Thor's
companions as to why they were not
intervening. To Jaekelsson's surprise,
Thor's companions were confident that
Thor would prevail, as he was a true
God, and Jaekelsson a magical
corpse. Distracted by their words,
Jaekelsson did not notice Thor regain
his wits, at which point Thor delivered
a hit so powerful Jaekelsson's body
was flung into space. Jaekelsson's
current whereabouts are unknown, but
his body was last seen still in orbit
around planet.

Running Kamorr the Small:
Kamorr the Small is a loyal servant
and friend to Heimdall, he is small in
stature, but is respected among the
Asgardians for his loyal and skills.
History:
At one point, during the 20th century,
Odin, All-Father of Asgard, charged
Heimdall with a quest—because Odin
himself was unable to go at the
moment, and his most common
emissaries, Thor and the Warriors
Three, were busy with other exploits;
otherwise, Odin would have not moved
Heimdall from his usual post at the
gates of Asgard. Heimdall recruited
Kamorr to go with him in this travel.
The quest involved travelling to the
land of mortals, which they knew as
Midgard, and find three apparently
common people: Carter Dyam, an
Israeli soldier; Jackson Kimbal, an
American unemployed fashion
designer; and Chi Lo, a Japanese
fisherwoman. Odin knew they were
fated to become a new breed of divine
beings. Heimdall and Kamorr first won
over Dyam and Lo, who simply needed
to see Heimdall's eyes to change their
lifestyle and find a meaning to their
lives. All of them then set off to New
York City. Using their Asgardian
power, they could travel in a
teletransporting Viking-style boat while
dressing in their Asgardian garbs. As
they reached the Brooklyn Docks, they
surprised three local fishermen.
Heimdall, in the bow along with
Kamorr, noticed the commotion and
used his magic to disguise himself as
a local wealthy man from Long Island,
Kamorr as his chauffeur, and the boat
as a common yacht; the fishermen
would forget the strange appearance.
Heimdall's quest called the attention of
Klothos, one of the Norns, but the
other Norns forced her to divert her
attention toward other important
events. Heimdall and Kamorr
continued the search by foot, with Lo
and Dyam waiting for them onboard
the boat. Somehow acquiring a luxury
car, Heimdall had Kamorr drive him
toward the poor neighborhoods, where
they would ask for Kimbal's exact
address. Heimdall and Kamorr entered
the building, and the god knocked on
Kimbal's door. At that point, Kimbal
was indebted with a gangster by the
name of Barker and assumed that
Barker was sending collectors for
money Kimbal did not have; thus,
when hearing the door hammering, he
answered by firing through the wooden
gate. Heimdall broke down the door
with his hands, and then he and
Kamorr heard the explanation of
Kimbal.
Before Heimdall could identify himself
or explain his task, four of Baker's
thugs entered with personal weapons
to kill Kimbal, and any witness.
Heimdall, who still had need of Kimbal,
shot a bolt toward one of the would-be
assassins. This was not enough to
intimidate one of the other enforcers:
This person intended to shot. He was
surprised when the little Kamorr
grabbed his arm, calling him
blackguard. The thug was still
unimpressed at the short height and
old-style speaking of the servant, and
intended to hit Kamorr on the head;
Kamorr, with his superior fighting skills,
stopped the man's thug, used a martial
art hold and threw it against the
criminal's partners. One single hit
knocked the three of them down, and
Kamorr expressed his success out
loud. Kimbal was awestruck, but
Heimdall, who was familiar with the
dwarf's strengths, simply mentioned
that his companion had unusual
qualities. Heimdall then had little
problems to take Kimbal with him,
promising however to answer his
questions in time. Nonetheless, as
soon as they got into the car, Kimbal
demanded the promised details, even
if the driving Kamorr said that "Master
Heimdall" would speak whenever he
deemed fit. Heimdall and Kamorr took
Kimbal to the supposed yacht, which
turned into a Viking ship as soon as
they were onboard. Heimdall
introduced Kimbal to Lo and Dyam.
Kimbal found himself out of place, but
Heimdall reassured him, and reminded
him of his past as an artist. One week
later, Midgard knew the alien threat
known as Ego Prime, a planet evolved
to a more advanced, man-shaped life
form. Ego Prime devastated New York
City even after facing the best efforts
of several Asgardians and their
allies—specifically Thor, the Warriors
Three, Balder, Sif, Hildegarde, Tana
Nile and Silas Grant. Heimdall, Kamorr
and their three human companions
walked through the rubble toward the
epicenter of the problem, with the god
claiming to be following Odin's plan.
They were to put themselves in the
range of Ego Prime. Kamorr, while
loyally obeying his Masters' orders,
was scared and explained that it was
too dangerous. Ego Prime then shot
one bolt from his hand, on the intent of
destroying all of them... and was
defeated.
The bolt caused the opposite effect:
The three humans were transformed
into a higher form of human life, the
powerful Young Gods. The
metamorphosis and the sheer power
of these three men amazed Heimdall,
but absolutely astounded Kamorr and
Thor. Odin appeared to explain that he
had been manipulating the events so
that this new race of gods could be
created and transcend to a higher
plane; and that he was powerful
enough to restore all the damage that
the Earth had suffered, including the
destroyed buildings and dead humans.
However, Thor considered that Odin
was wrong at allowing people to die,
and accused his father and lord of that.
In response, Odin exiled Thor to
Midgard, forbidding him from going
back to the land of the gods—
Heimdall, hearing that, confessed to
Kamorr that he disliked the turn of
events. Odin then started to restore
Midgard, with Heimdall and Kamorr
still there; and, for a moment, god and
dwarf wondered if Odin had forgotten
about them and would leave them in
New York City. However, Heimdall and
Kamorr when teletransported to Odin's
throne room in a blink, joining the
already-present emissary Karnilla and
85
Asgard's Grand Vizier. With Kamorr by
his side, Heimdall twice swore his
loyalty to Odin; Karnilla prompted
Heimdall to ask Odin about Thor.
Noticing Thor's absence, Heimdall first
asked whether Thor had fallen in
battle, but Odin was enraged and
roared to Heimdall. Heimdall, Kamorr,
Karnilla and the Vizier were forced to
leave the room, lest they would face
Odin's wrath.

Running Karnilla:
Karnilla has been reckless and
impulsive in the past, and more than a
little self-centered. This may have
changed; she has willingly given up
Balder so he may ascend the throne of
Asgard. Oddly, although she is a
sorceress of great power feared even
by Loki, she doesn't use much magic;
she prefers to use catspaws, agents to
carry out her designs. Her current
activities are unknown, though she
may be planning revenge on Utgard-
Loki, the Frost Giant king who ravaged
her home and took her prisoner.
History:
The birth and early life of Karnilla were
shrouded in mystery. All that was
really known is that she had long lived
in Nornheim, the Asgardian province
where the Three Norns dwelt, the
goddesses of destiny, and she
became one of the most accomplished
practitioners of the arts of sorcery in
the Asgardian dimension. Although
Nornheim lied on the Asgardian land
mass within Asgard's own dimension,
and although Karnilla was apparently
of the Asgardian race, she did not
consider herself to be subject to
Asgardian rule. Rather, Nornheim was
an independent country, of which
Karnilla was absolute monarch.
Karnilla lived opulently in the ancient
fastness of Nornkeep, attended by her
servant, the aged minor sorceress
Haag, and troops of guardian demons.
Although there were many demons
among her subjects, Karnilla's realm
was also populated by humanoid
immortals, just as was Asgard proper.
Karnilla's relationship to the goddesses
of destiny was unknown, although they
were clearly beyond her jurisdiction.
In the past Karnilla often proved to be
an enemy of Asgard, and acted in
alliance with the Asgardian god of evil,
Loki. However, Karnilla was long in
love with Asgard's noblest warrior,
Balder the Brave. On Balder's request
(on behalf of Asgard's monarch Odin),
Karnilla allied herself and her army
with Asgard in the war with Surtur.
After years of resisting Karnilla's
advances, Balder finally became
Karnilla's lover. Some of Balder's
Asgardian friends disapproved of the
relationship, regarding Karnilla as a
figure of evil. Karnilla regarded herself,
however, as a harsh but just ruler.
Balder was called away from
Nornkeep to join the Asgardian prince
Thor in his mission to rescue souls of
Earth human beings from Hel. During
Balder's absence, Karnilla was taken
prisoner by the Frost Giants of
Jotunheim, who were preparing an
invasion of Asgard and first intended to
eliminate Asgard's allies. The Frost
Giants also transformed Karnilla's
subjects into stone. On his return,
Balder set out to rescue Karnilla, and
ultimately met with success. Karnilla
continued to both antagonize and aid
Asgard. She would often aid it against
a mutual threat, but continued to seek
Balder's affection or seek the lives of
Thor and Odin to try and make Balder
king.
Since the return of the Asgardians
after Ragnarok she at some point
made an alliance with the troll king
Gerridur. She enchanted a charm that
disguised Ulik as an Asgardian
Tanarus and altered everyone's
memories so Tanarus was always the
champion of Asgard and everyone
would forget Thor. Ulik was to use his
position to assassinate the All-Mothers
of Asgard at the appointed time to
throw Asgard into chaos for a troll
attack. Karnilla formed a triad of
outcasts witches called the Weird
Sisters along with Kelda to spy on
Asgardia and aid Ulik. Despite the
spell, Heimdall eventually saw through
the spell and destroyed the charm just
as the trolls attacked. Karnilla joined in
the battle in a desperate attempt to
turn the tide. She battled and was
quickly defeated by Freyja. Freyja then
sealed Karnilla and Gerridur within the
skull of Ulik. Karnilla requested
Odinson to help defend Nornkeep from
a massive army assembled by
Malekith in order to kill the Norns and
86
prevent them from determining their
destinies. When the attack happened,
Karnilla had Nornkeep's forces
evacuate the Norns while she
remained behind to defend Nornkeep.
Karnilla immobilized many of the
attackers by taking control of their
destinies. However, the army was able
to sever Nornkeep's connections to the
roots of Yggdrasil, causing the
massive structure to collapse. Karnilla
was caught in the collapse and
mortally wounded. Before dying,
Karnilla told Odinson that she had
witnessed visions of many things,
including the death of the new Thor,
Jane Foster. She tried to warn Thor to
protect Jane but died before she could.

Bill, Thor and the Asgardian Gods.
Running Kelda:
Kelda is a young, caring god. She fell
in love with the mortal Bill and she
tried to move Asgard and Earth to be
with him only to have things go bad. In
the End, they were together.
History:
Kelda was one of the many
Asgardians who Thor resurrected after
the Ragnarok Cycle. While the rest of
her people were content to sit within
Asgard and live out old glories, the
golden-haired goddess instead sought
out new experiences within Midgard.
She traveled to the nearby town of
Broxton, Oklahoma, stopping at Bill's
Diner where she attracted the attention
of one of the mortal residents, Bill, the
local fry cook. Kelda invited Bill to
meet her in Asgard. Bill mustered up
the courage to answer Kelda's
standing invitation to visit Asgard, and
dropped by, bringing her flowers,
though the attempt to deliver them
ended with her getting hit in the face
with a rock. She showed him around
Asgard, while they playfully flirted, and
he tried to explain basketball to the
Asgardian men.
In time, Bill and Kelda fell in love with
one another, to the extent that Bill left
his home and business in Broxton to
move to Latveria with the other
Asgardians. For Kelda, Bill's curiosity
about the world around him and his
sense of justice were some of his
greatest qualities, and a few of the
reasons she fell in love with him. While
in Latveria, some unruly Asgardians
hassled Bill and goaded him into a
fight. Before Bill could enter the fight,
Kelda arrived with an ice spear she
summoned from the ongoing storm,
broke the Asgardians' weapons, and
then gave it to Bill, explaining it was
poison and one scratch can kill an
Asgardian. The Asgardians fled and
Bill intended to investigate the recent
move of Asgard to Latveria from
Oklahoma. Tragically, Bill was
murdered when he stumbled upon a
conspiracy by Loki and Doctor Doom
to harvest the organs of the
Asgardians in order to give the armor-
clad despot the secrets of immortality.
Before his death, he told Balder
Odinson of Loki's treachery and asked
him to tell Kelda he loved her. When
Kelda saw her mortal love dead before
her, she swore vengeance on Loki and
traveled to Castle Doom to confront
him. Instead she met Doctor Doom,
who goaded her into a fight. Blasting
Doom with a bolt of lightning revealed
him to be nothing more than a
Doombot. Following a trail, she
ventured deep into the castle and fell
straight into his trap. Doom ripped her
heart out and left her body on the floor.
Thor and the other Asgardians from
Latveria, arrived to punish Doom for
the wrongs done to the people of
Asgard. During the battle, Doom threw
the corpse of Kelda from his castle.
Loki appeared and claimed he knew
how to save Kelda. But in order to do
so, Loki said he needed someone to
recover her heart. While Thor was
fighting Doom, Balder retrieved the
heart and brought it to Loki who was
able to bring her back to life. While
alive, Kelda was torn with heartfelt
grief over Bill's death. Later, Kelda
went to visit Bill's parents in Broxton to
inform them of their son's fate. The
house was surrounded by
H.A.M.M.E.R. agents who demanded
she surrender herself and shot her as
she exited the house. While Bill's
father tried to reason with the
aggressors, Bill's mother talked with
Kelda to bring her back to her senses,
since she didn't intended to fight back.
Kelda healed the wounds and rose up
in the air, raining lightning down on the
soldiers and freezing them solid. After
the Siege, Kelda was shown by a
Valkyrie that Bill had been chosen to
live in Valhalla but her love denied her
entry since the "dead and the living
can love but not be together". Kelda
stated they would find a way to make it
work since they were able to form a
bond between goddess and mortal as
well.
Later, it was revealed that when Loki
was tending to her during the battle
against Doom, he met her upon an
astral plane. He explained to her that
he required a raw ingot of her
empathic soul to forge the blade Eir-
Gram, to cut down the old enemies of
Asgard, the feared cannibalistic Disir.
when nothing else could. The process
would also leech some of her
memories from her in an attempt to
ease her inner pain; however, Loki
also tells her that this would prevent
her from growing emotionally. She
would remain emotionally as she was,
her agony and anguish bound. Loki's
last words to Kelda were, "But if the
memories ever return, know this: I'm
sorry, Kelda. If I could, I would make
the sacrifice myself...but purity of spirit
was never amongst my virtues." Kelda
later went slowly insane due to Bill's
death and Loki's tampering with her
memories and soul, and tried to kill
Balder before her soul was purified by
87
Thor. She later wandered in the
wilderness and was taken up by Norns
to fulfill the role as the "Maiden" to
ease her pain and obtain closer
contact to Bill in Valhalla. However,
she was betrayed by the Crone, who
was actually Karnilla in disguise, who
beat her to death with a rock. Her soul
later reunited with Bill in Valhalla and
they shared a tender kiss at the
reunion. She married Bill while they
were in Valhalla together and were
seen in various future battles as souls
fighting on behalf of Asgard. Kelda
was part of the list of women Odinson
suspected to be the new Thor. She
was one of the many women warriors
(Asgardians and Avengers alike)
Odinson and Freyja brought to help
Thor in her fight against Cul Borson,
as he commanded the Destroyer
armor under Odin's order. They fought
him off until Odin aborted Cul's
mission.

Running Malekith:
Malekith is known as the Accursed by
Asgardians (just as Thor is probably
known as the Accursed in Jotenheim),
because of unrevealed misdeeds in
ages past. Malekith is one of Asgard's
most bitter and evil enemies. He
enjoys deception and corrupting the
reputations of worthy Asgardians (such
as Balder), as well as playing with
mortals. While Malekith is supposedly
dead, as Loki says: "the first thing a
sorcerer of quality does is make
oneself as difficult to kill as possible." It
is quite likely Malekith found some way
to escape death. Malekith is a mortal
enemy of Kurse
History:
Malekith the Accursed is the ruler of
the Dark Elves, one of the Nine Worlds
of Asgardlan cosmology. The Dark
Elves are also known as the Faerie of
Celtic mythology and of Arthurlan
legend. The principal nexus between
Earth and Svartalfheim lies beneath a
palace in the Cotswolds of Britain.
Centuries ago, Malekith proved himself
to be an enemy of both the human
beings of Earth and the gods of
Asgard. Malekith's greatest weapon
was the Casket of Ancient Winters,
which contained mystical forces that
could reproduce the overwhelming
frigidity of another of the Nine Worlds,
Niffleheim, the realm of ice. To prevent
Malekith from releasing the casket's
contents, a mortal human being who
was later known as Eric Willis stole
and hid the Casket. Without the magic
of the Casket, Malekith was unable to
conceal himself from the wrathful Odin,
monarch of Asgard. Odin banished
Malekith into an otherdimensional
"black limbo" where the Dark Elf
remained until recent times. Malekith
was released from his exile by the fire
demon Surtur, master of Muspelheim,
whom Malekith then served. Surtur
ordered Malekith to regain the Casket
of Ancient Winters and to use its
power to create chaos on Earth that
would prepare the way for its invasion
by the legions of Muspelheim.
Odin dispatched his ravens Huginn
and Muninn to investigate events in
the distant "burning galaxy," where
Surtur was active. Surtur slew Huginn,
and Malekith unsuccessfully pursued
the injured Muninn. Surtur also had
91
Malekith go to Loki, the foster son of
Odin, and gain Loki's pledge to
withhold his support from Asgard's
forces when Surtur attacked them.
Loki, however, deceived Malekith,
knowing that Surtur intended to
destroy Asgard. Due to the magic of
the Casket of Ancient Winters, Eric
Willis had remained alive and young
ever since he had stolen it. Willis, who
lived in New York, was menaced by
Malekith's human agents and was
finally killed by Malekith himself, who
used his shape-shifting ability to take
the form of a beautiful woman named
Angel. Willis's son, Roger, found the
Casket. Now, however, Malekith
launched the Wild Hunt to track Roger
Willis and the Casket down. Willis was
attacked on a bridge by Malekith, in his
guise as the Master of the Hounds,
and a horde of demonic dogs. Odin's
son, the thunder god Thor arrived and
together he and Willis slew a number
of the hounds and forced the Dark Elf
to retreat.
Subsequently, Malekith captured the
Asgardian goddess Lorelei, who had
been attempting to get the
unsuspecting Thor to drink a potion
that would force him to fall in love with
her. Malekith used his sorcery to trick
Thor into drinking the potion. Then
Malekith revealed to Thor that he held
the true Lorelei prisoner and
demanded the Casket in exchange for
her release. Filled with passion for
Lorelei, Thor went to the Dark Elves'
palace in the Cotswolds, accompanied
by Willis, who brought along the
Casket, although they intended to
rescue Lorelei without surrendering it.
The two allies then passed through the
nexus into the Realm of Faerie itself.
Thor next fought Malekith himself, who
took the form of a gigantic, armored
warrior, but the thunder god quickly
defeated him. Thor scattered the rest
of the Dark Elves and rescued Lorelei,
but Malekith, recovering, seized
Willis's gun and hurled it at the Casket.
The impact shattered the Casket,
releasing its magical force, which
spread frigid temperatures and
blizzards over the Earth. Thor struck
Malekith down and then took him to
Asgard, where Odin sentenced the
Dark Elf to imprisonment in the
Dungeon of No Escape.
Then followed the war between the
forces of Asgard and those of
Muspelheim. In a confrontation with
Odin, Surtur drew the magical forces
of the Casket away from Earth,
thereby restoring its normal weather, in
order to use its forces to imprison Odin
within ice. But while Odin had been
battling Surtur in Asgard, Willis had
been reassembling the broken Casket.
As soon as Willis finished his task and
closed the Casket's lid, the Casket's
enchantments returned and Odin
disappeared. Malekith later escaped
from his prison and went to the palace
of Loki, claiming to want to be his ally.
When Balder was about to be crowned
as the missing Odin's successor as
ruler of Asgard, Malekith tricked
Lorelei into giving Loki a drugged
drink. Malekith magically gave Loki
Malekith's own appearance. Loki, as
Malekith, was captured and Thor,
unaware of who the prisoner really
was, had him placed in the Dungeon of
No Escape. The true Malekith had
taken the form of Balder to become the
new ruler of Asgard himself. However,
the otherdimensional entity known as
the Beyonder had transformed a Dark
Elf named Algrim into the vastly
powerful being called Kurse. Kurse
was obsessed with taking vengeance
on Malekith, who was responsible for
his near death in a pool of molten lava.
Kurse saw through Malekith's magical
disguise as Balder, leapt upon
Malekith and broke his neck, killing
him. An observer, Agnar, touched the
supposed Balder's corpse with his
sword and the corpse of Malekith
reverted to its true appearance.

mystical land, that is analogous to
Earth’s middle east, but is located in
Asgard. The lord and ruler of Zanadu

mystic mountain that can be
transported and mobilized by Mogul.
Mogul had accumulated and inherited
power, technology and servants from
ancient Baghdad. Mogul was also old
foe of Hogun the Grim and Hogun's
former people. Eventually Mogul would
completely wipe out Hogun's
homeland, enslaving, killing, the
majority, as well as stealing all their
treasures and battle standard. What
few survived would attempt revenge
but slowly wither without ever seeing
justice served. He is also said to have
killed all of Hogun's family. Upon
Mogul's return Thor and the rest of the
Warriors Three, Fandral, and Volstagg
accompanied Hogun in his quest of
revenge against Mongul after coming
across one of the last of Hogun's

History:
After Balder the Brave spurned

hand. Karnilla orchestrated a meeting
between Nanna and Balder in an
Asgardian marketplace, and they
quickly fell in love. Once Balder and
Nanna were truly devoted to one
another, Karnilla had them kidnapped
and threatened Balder with harming
Nanna. In exchange for his hand in
marriage, Karnilla vowed that no harm
would come to Nanna, directly or
indirectly by her actions. Balder
reluctantly consented.
Nanna was released back to Asgard,
but she could not let Balder make this
sacrifice for her. Swiping Odin's eight-
legged steed, Sleipnir, Nanna returned
to Nornheim to disrupt the wedding
ceremony. Nanna challenged Karnilla
to hold to the terms of her vow, and
stabbed herself through the heart, a
mortal wound. With Nanna harmed
indirectly due to Karnilla's actions,
Balder tearfully declared himself free
of his oath of marriage. Karnilla
hesitated, then relented and allowed
Balder to leave Nornheim with his
dead lover in peace.
Nanna was given full honors at her

Running Ollerus:
Ollerus is stubborn and prideful, he

History:
Ollerus the Unmerciful was a mighty
military commander who sought to
take Valhalla from Hela. He started to
assemble an army which included two
powerful sorcerers, Casiolena and
Poppo the Cunning, and hid in a
mountain shaped like a shark tooth in
the hills of Valhalla. Once the Goddess
of Death discovered about Ollerus'
plan, she summoned Valkyrie, then
with the Defenders in Midgard, to lead
her own troops against the rebels.
Poppo had a plan to recruit Valkyrie
against Hela’s forces, turning the tide
of battle to Ollerus’s favor. Amid a
struggle between Hela and Ollerus'
armies, the mountain moved; causing
an earthquake that broke the battle up.
Once Valkyrie discovered the origin of
the shockwaves, she fell into a trap
where Brunnhilde's body would be split
from human host Barbara Norriss, who
would then pose as Valkyrie.
After locking Brunnhilde in a room,
through the fake Valkyrie and his
henchmen's magic, Ollerus was able
to cast death upon many Midgardians,
including Valkyrie's fellow Defenders
Hulk, Nighthawk and Hellcat. This
created an army as large as Hela's.
The new legions, especially due to the
superpowered additions, gained the
upper hand and even knocked out an
escaped Valkyrie. However, once the
Defenders realized the one that
drafted them was actually Barbara
Norriss, they defected to the
underwhelmed Hela troops and gave
an advantage. Witnessing this, Ollerus
signaled to the mountain, which
proceeded to move towards the
battlefield; generating an earthquake.
Hulk decided to smash the mountain,
and upon the base's destruction,
Ollerus was defeated. To ensure
Ollerus' banishment to Niffleheim
would not lead to further rebellion,
Hela banished herself along, leaving
Valhalla to Harokin.

Odin and the people of Skarnheim.
Running Jolena:
Jolena is a tough, rugged queen and
leader of the Skarnheim populace. She
is a smoldering fire of anger and
passion.
History:
At some point in the past, presumably
before his relationship with Frigga and
the birth of Thor (son of Gaea and
Odin), Odin had a passionate
relationship with Jolena. Odin later
recalled it as a love that was far too
short when it might well have been
forever. A group of conspirators
infiltrated the armies of Jolena and
Uthar, the king of the realm across a
river from Jolena's realm. The
conspirators on each side convinced
the leader of that realm that the other
group wished to cross the river and
claim their land, when in truth both
sides were content with their domains.
The conspirators instigated this conflict
because they knew that Odin would be
drawn to the battle. They knew of
Odin's past love affair with Jolena, and
if he intervened on her behalf, he
would disgrace both himself and
Frigga, Odin's current wife and the
woman who had raised Thor. At the
same time, if he were unable to involve
himself in the conflict, he would
demonstrate his impotence as a
leader.
Jolena's forces warred against Uthar's,
with the conspirators, the Wolflings,
perpetuating the fight and blocking
communication between the sides.
Odin learned of the battle and Jolena's
involvement. Odin's heart stirred to
look upon her fair form once more.
Jolena continued to lead her forces
against Uthar's with Odin watching
from above the battlefield. Odin began
to see the truth behind the situation.
Having learned the situation from Thor
and Rimthursar's Menagerie sneaked
into the battlefield, they overhead the
Wolflings on one side planning a
meeting with the others. Slithgarn
brought Uthar to the river, and Kyrie
brought Uthar there. The two leaders
then overheard the Wolflings
conspiring to continue the struggle,
and--infuriated by the manipulation--
Jolena and Uthar joined Thor and the
Menagerie in subduing the Wolflings.
The defeated Wolflings were dragged
to the battlefield, where Jolena and
Uthar commanded the fighting to stop,
and revealed the Wolflings' actions.
Odin then arrived on the battlefield,
and embraced Jolena. Odin told her
that his love was vast, like his power,
and that, like any god, he may love
more than one woman. He made it
clear that the fact that he showed a
trace of his former love in no way
made him unfaithful. It merely made
him fallible, as men and gods are.
Odin visited Jolena again, and the two
professed their love for each other, but
acknowledged that they must
overcome their feelings. Unknown to
them both, Loki was spying upon
them, and he quickly spread the news
throughout Asgard that Odin was an
unfaithful husband. Loki and Tyr began
to amass an army to overthrow Odin.
As Loki and Tyr's army marched
towards Odin's palace, Loki was
surprised to find that Jolena was
outside of the city. When he asked her
why, she replied that she and Odin
were no longer lovers, and that he had
come to break off their affair that time
Loki saw them. When Loki realized
that he was wrong about Odin, he

resistance against his father.

Running Snaykar the Skulker:
Snayker is sneaky and underhanded.
He would like to think he is
indespensible to Loki, he's sadly
mistaken.
History:
Snaykar, called the Skulker, was a
member of the god-like Asgardian
race. He lived in the extra-dimensional
realm known as Asgard. In recent
times, the lord and king of Asgard Odin
vanished and was replaced by the
monster Mangog, disguised as Odin
thanks to the magic of the Asgardian
wizard Igron. Mangog, pretending to
be Odin, named Igron his adviser and
began a rule of terror in Asgard. This
led to several heroic Asgardians to
plan a rebellion, including Hildegarde
and Balder. These two Asgardians
discussed the measures to take while
in a meadhall in the outskirts of
Asgard. Snaykar was nearby and
secretly listened their words of
treason. As Snaykar lacked the
courage to be a hero himself, he
decided to report these words to Igron,
hoping to gain a boon. Snaykar's
report led to Balder being formally
accused, but Igron's and Mangog's
rule ended soon afterward thanks to
Thor.
Later, Odin's treacherous adopted son
Loki made use of his father's absence
to sit on the throne of Asgard. He
recruited several Asgardians of ill
reputation as his main counselors,
including Snaykar the Skulker, Amora
the Enchantress, Kroda the Duelist,
Magrat the Schemer and Skurge the
Executor. Loki intended to retain his
power even after Thor arrived with a
convalescent Odin — in fact, Loki
ordered Amora and Skurge to take
measures so that Odin would not wake
up. Magrat, however, was
unconvinced of this: Loki had already
attempted to take over Asgard in the
past and had proved unable to wrestle
control if Odin were active. Magrat
conspired along with Kroda and
Snaykar to obtain Odin's body, so that
they could murder the overlord in his
sleep if needed, or alternatively wake
him up so that he could defeat Loki.
They theorized that, if they saved
Odin, they would gain his favor, and
such they intended to change sides in
97
the conflict should Loki's proved
unsatisfactory.
Thor had sent his heroic friends, the
Warriors Three —Fandral the Dashing,
Hogun the Grim and Volstagg the
Voluminous— to protect Odin while he
went on a different mission, but the
Warriors were unable to reach Odin
before Amora and Skurge, following
Loki's orders, took him away. Amora
and Skurge were defeated and went
missing, giving Snaykar's team a
chance to take Odin. However, the
Warriors Three soon found them, too.
Snaykar tried to sneak away while the
others were fighting, but Hogun
noticed him and easily cut out
Snaykar's escape with the famed
Hogun's mace. The Warriors Three
released Odin and Odin, in turn,
finished Loki's rule. Snaykar and his
cohorts, however, escaped custody.
Odin then exiled Loki and sent the
Warriors Three in a mission to find and
capture Kroda, Magrat and Snaykar.
The Warriors Three succeeded in their
task and, with their three prisoners in
chain, crossed the doors of Asgard in
a triumphant parade. Odin then
congratulated the Warriors for the
capture of Kroda, Magrat and Snaykar.

Surtur is dedicated to the complete

Asgardians to slay.
History:
Surtur was an enormous fiery demon
native to the dimension of Asgard.
Possessed of evil intelligence and vast
power, Surtur was one of the major
elemental forces of evil that the
Asgardians feared. He was a mystical
being whose existence predated that
of Odin himself. Over 1,000 feet tall
and wielding a huge fiery sword, he
was once imprisoned by Odin at the
Earth's core. Along with Ymir the Frost
Giant and the Midgard Serpent, Surtur
was the most powerful of Asgard's
native enemies. Surtur has been freed
from imprisonment a few times over
the years. The first time the Asgardian
god of mischief Loki set Surtur free to
wreak havok on Earth. The second
time Surtur was set free by Marduk of
the Sons of Satannish, a cult of human
demon-worshippers. Surtur was
banished to some unnamed
netherworld at the end of that
encounter. He appeared, yet again, in
what was to be one of the Asgardians
greatest battles against Surtur. Surtur
hatched a plan to lure Asgard's armies
to Earth leaving the city vulnerable to
attack. He crossed Bifrost with his
newly forged Twilight blade believing
Asgard to be defenseless; Odin, Thor
and Loki were there to make a last
stand to defeat Surtur. Their victory did
not come easy though, as Odin fell
along with Surtur into a dimensional
rift.

Running Fates:
The Norns are mysterious in the way
that they guide the destinies of mortals
and gods alike. Few are privy to their
thoughts or plans and while a great
many things can be escaped in life,
fate is rarely one of them.
History:
The beings known as the Fates (or the
Norns) are goddesses older than
either the Olympian or Asgardian
Pantheons. No one is sure of their
exact origins and as they always seem
to be present guiding the lives of
mortals and gods alike, it is unlikely
that any answers are forthcoming.
They have interacted over the years
with both the Asgardians and
Olympians (primarily through the
adventures of Thor and Hercules)
answering questions and posing
riddles to help those who seek their
guidance over the years.
The Norns, sisters Skuld, Urd, and
Verdandi, were the overseers of the
fates of the people of the Nine Worlds.
They made their lair in the roots of
Yggdrasill, the World Tree. The
Asgardian Thor, Valkyrie, Balder, and
many others consulted the Norn's
wisdom over the centuries. Thor once
consulted the Norns to learn how he
could wield the mighty weapon of
Mjolnir. The Norn told Thor that he
must face 'Death' before he could
wield such a powerful weapon. It was
revealed this meant the Death-
goddess Hela.
The Fates/Norns met with Brunnhilde,
who had just arrived at Asgard. They
led her to the Well of Mimir and
revealed to her visions of an upcoming
future. The visions involved Hela at
war with a rival, civil war in Valhalla,
death decimating mankind and
claiming Valkyrie's fellow Defenders,
and Valkyrie herself banished to
Niffleheim. The Norns claimed that this
future could not be prevented. During
the final Ragnarok, Thor confronted
the Norns who had learned that the
their powers were given to them by
Those Who Sit Above In Shadow so
they could manipulate the destiny of
the Asgardians and trigger constant
Ragnaroks to feed Those Who Sit
Above in Shadow. Wanting to end the
continuous Ragnarok cycles the
Asgardians were subjected to, Thor
ripped apart the Loom of the Fates,
destroying everyone within Asgard,
including the Norns. The Norns later
turned up alive during the events
known as the Siege of Asgard. They
confronted the Dark Avenger Daken
with a request for him to bring about
Ragnarök. Daken eventually decided
against it. The Norns were in Karnilla's
Nornkeep when the Dark Council
launched a massive invasion in order
to prevent the Norns from determining
the group's destinies. The Norns were
able to flee, but Nornkeep was
destroyed, and Karnilla killed.

History:
Thialfi was born mortal, to parents that
were killed in a Viking raid. Thor, upset
at what worship of their race was
wrought, pleaded with Odin to do
something. Odin made Thor a deal, he
would grant Thialfi power and make
him an Asgardian, but Thor must take
him to Asgard, find him a home, and
when he comes of age, take him into
his inner circle and trust his wisdom.
Once Thialfi came of age, and after
Thor had taken over the throne of
Asgard, Thialfi was made Thor's
advisor, much to Balder's dismay. Not
knowing Thialfi's history, Balder didn't
trust him.
After Thor moved Asgard to earth to
float over New York City, the
Consortium of Nations planned an
assault on Asgard to try and drive the
Asgardians away from Earth. The
assault failed, resulting in Asgard
crashing into New York City, and
costing thousands of lives, both
Asgardian and human. During the
assault, Thialfi was fighting Zarrko,
who was trying to escape. Zarrko had
opened a temporal portal, but an
explosion knocked Thialfi through the
portal instead, before Zarrko had the
chance to calibrate it.
The portal threw Thialfi more than 100
years into the future, and he arrived in
Bostogardd Harbor in New Asgard,
literally crashing into Jordahl.

Running Ulik:
Ulik is first and foremost a warrior. He
will never back down from a challenge,
and is extremely reluctant to accept
defeat. At the same time, Ulik is driven
by the prospect of conquest. He hopes
to bring power and wealth to himself
and his followers. He is headstrong
and formidable.
History:
Ulik is a member of the race of Rock
Trolls and lives within caverns in the
extradimensional realm of Asgard.
Over a millennium old, Ulik is the
strongest and fiercest of all the Trolls.
Virtually nothing is known of his
ancestry, his early life, or why he is so
much more powerful than the other
members of his race. After Ulik's
parents were slain by drunkest Frost
Giants, Ulik watched over his brother
Horth. Ulik first met Thor, the mightiest
warrior of Asgard, several years ago
when he attempted to steal Thor's
hammer for the Rock Trolls. Ulik was
the leading warrior in the Rock Troll's
war with the gods of Asgard, during
which he fought a monumental battle
against Thor, in which Ulik was armed
with a duplicate of Thor's own uru
hammer. Although Ulik proved to be a
formidable opponent, Thor ultimately
triumphed over him. The Troll's
attempted invasion of Asgard, under
the leadership of the Troll king
Geirrodur, failed. Ulik clashed with
Thor repeatedly in the following years,
but always unsuccessfully. On one
occasion, Ulik led the Rock Trolls
through an inter-dimensional tunnel to
Earth in an invasion attempt that was
repelled by Thor. Ulik's failure, coupled
with his brief usurpation of the rule of
Geirrodur's kingdom of Trolls in the
Asgard Mountains, led Geirrodur to
consign him to stoking the
subterranean furnaces that heat the
kingdom. Dissatisfied, Ulik eventually
escaped and wandered deeper
beneath Asgard's surface, finally
discovering a lost tribe of Trolls
unknown to Geirrodur. Ulik disposed of
their leader and led this tribe through
the interdimensional portal to Earth to
again attempt to invade it. This attempt
was defeated, and the portal sealed
with molten rock.
Ulik returned and fought Thor but was
thrown down a deep hole before
accidentally waking Odin's former foe
Mangog hoping he can be used as an
ally against Asgard after reading an
inscription on the prison door by Odin.
Jane was taken captive by Pluto. Pluto
then reveals his ally in vengeance
Loki. Loki then summons Ulik to battle
Thor. Thor and Ulik battle back and
forth until Ulik discovers that he is but
the pawn of Pluto and Loki. Enraged,
Ulik begins to attack Pluto. After
saving Pluto from Ulik, and sends Ulik
back to Asgard. The demon Mephisto
captured Ulik's brother Horth in order
to force Ulik to defeat Thor in battle.
But Ulik himself was defeated, and
Mephisto later told Thor that he had
killed Horth even before Ulik
challenged him in battle. Ulik fought on
the side of several Asgardians,
Warriors Three, Balder and Sif who
were lost in their own Earthly identities.
He battled a version of Thor called
Red Norvell and worked with his
temporary allies to escape an earth-
based technological conspiracy

against lost Asgardians. Ulik the Troll
was stomping around Earth and it
comes down to Punisher, Daredevil

his plan to destroy Asgard. Punisher
went one-on-one with Ulik. After
Ragnarok and the return of the Gods,
Ulik was believed to have escaped
from Oklahoma's Asgard. The Troll
had been on a multi-state drinking
binge ending outside Telluride
Colorado where he was knocked
unconscious by A-Bomb.
Following the death of Thor battling the
Serpent, his body was put upon a
funeral pyre, a common practice
among Asgardians. As his body
burned, a shape was suddenly seen
within the fire, and from the flames
was born Tanarus, the loud-mouthed,
boisterous God of Thunder, both new
hero and longtime Avenger. Welcomed
by his teammates, only Loki seemed to
notice that Tanarus had not always
been around. As Loki sought the
answer to this problem, Tanarus found
himself transported to the throne of
Geirrodur, who removed the charm
that altered his appearance and
revealed the face of Ulik. Ulik begged
to have the charm returned, an act
carried out by Geirrodur's ally, Karnilla.
Ulik was revealed to have been sent to
infiltrate Asgard in the guise of its
greatest warrior. Karnilla's spell altered
everyone's memories so Ulik as
Tanarus was always the champion of
Asgard. Ulik's task was at the
appointed time to assassinate the All-
Mothers of Asgard right before a troll
attack to throw Asgardian into chaos.
Despite the spell, Ulik's manners
earned him only disgust from the
Asgardians. The spell also prevented
Heimdall from seeing him earning
suspicion. When Heimdall confronted
Tanarus he was severely beaten.
Undeterred, Heimdall eventually saw
through the spell. He attacked Ulik
again before he could assassinate the
All-Mothers and destroyed the charm
revealing Ulik to everyone just as the
trolls attacked. Ulik tried to attack the
All-Mothers, but was struck down by a
returning Thor. Enraged overall all that
had happened Thor attacked Ulik with
both hammer and lighting. After a
short, but brutal fight Ulik realized he
was outmatched and made one last
desperate attempt on the lives of the
All-Mothers only to be killed by Thor
and reduced to a skeleton. His skull

Contacts:
None. Although Ymir is the ancestor of
the races of Frost and Ice Giants, and

Running Ymir:
Ymir is one of the oldest beings in the
Nine Worlds, and he has never
learned any degree of cunning.
Although capable of speech, he is as
savage and brutal as the fierce
Niffleheim winters.
History:
Ymir came to being on Niffleheim, he
is oldest and most powerful of the Ice
Giants, an otherdimensional race of
enormous humanoid creatures. The
huge size, durability, and colossal
strength of the Ice Giants made them
formidable foes to the gods of Asgard
over the millennia. Except for the fire
demon Surtur, Ymir was the oldest
known being in the Nine Worlds. It was
said that millennia ago warm air from
the realm of fire, Muspelheim, crossed
a dimensional barrier into the location
of the magical Well of Life, Tons of ice
from Niffleheim, the realm of ice and
cold, formed above the Well of Life. It
was said that in time the warm air from
Muspelheim caused these tons of ice
over the Well to transform into the
living, sentient Ymir. Another being
appeared from the ice, the enchanted
cow Audumla. Audumla fed off the ice
itself, and Ymir subsisted on the milk
Audumla produced. Legends also
state that he was once a human with
elemental powers of winter.
Ymir was the progenitor of the entire
race of Ice Giants as well as the all the
Giants of Jotunheim (among them
Storm Giants, Mountain Giants and
Rime Giants) and most notably the
Frost Giants. Although he differed
considerably in appearance. Ymir and
many of the first members of his race
were also known as Ice Giants. Like
the other Ice Giants, Ymir was covered
with snow and ice, and constantly
generated intense coldness from his
body. At some point before 10,000
BCE, humans began to worship Ymir
and his first daughter as deities.
Among these humans were the Vanir
of Hyborean Vanaheim people whose
members would include Ulysses
Bloodstone.[8] Conan the Barbarian
met Atali who claimed to be a daughter
of Ymir. The young god Odin and his
brothers Vili and Ve fought a war with
the Ice Giants and slew Ymir. This led
the the Ice Giants along with the
Giants of Jotunheim declaring war on
the Asgardians for slaying their
progenitor. Ymir, however, succeeded
in regenerating himself, Odin created a
chasm containing an interdimensional
nexus through which Ymir's army
plunged into Muspelheim, where the
native demons took the Giants
prisoners. Odin then entrapped Ymir
himself within a circle of flame within a
volcanic area.
At some point, the Midgard Vanir
captured Iceman of the first class of X-
Men in order to use his powers and
him as a sacrifice to resurrect Ymir, for
them to rule a frozen Earth. Helped by
Donald Blake, the X-Men were able to
102
save Iceman, but Vanir's minion Ulf the
Ice Troll served as sacrifice in his
place, awakening Ymir. This one
rejected the Vanir, while Blake turned
into Thor. While the Odinson was able
to stop him and exile him to nether
realm of Asgard, Ymir could now
easier breach the gaps between
worlds, becoming a more pressing
matter for Earth's safety. In recent
times a member of the mystical cult
called the Sons of Satannish used the
so-called Spell of Fire and Ice to bring
both Ymir and Surtur to Earth, where
they began wreaking havoc. While
Ymir attacked Wakanda, Surtur
wreaked havoc in Antarctica. Doctor
Strange transported Ymir to the South
Pole right in front of Surtur just as both
are about to strike, their blows cancel
each other out causing both monsters
to vanish causing a massive explosion.
Earth's Sorcerer Supreme, Doctor
Stephen Strange, used the Crystal of
Conquest, which contained part of the
mystical power of the demons known
as Santannish and Mephisto, to
transport Surtur and Ymir magically
into each other's presence at the very
instant they were lashing out with their
weapons. Ymir and Surtur thus struck
each other's weapons, creating a
mystical "implosion" in which each
being temporarily cancelled out the
powers of the other, and each was
returned to his home dimension, Surtur
to Muspelheim and Ymir to Niffleheim.
Ymir escaped again and working with
the the Frost Giants and Storm Giants
he launched an attack on Asgard.
However he was stopped by Thor and
his brother Vidar. Ymir once again is
released from his eternal prison Surtur
disguised himself as Odin in a plan to
destroy Asgard, he told Heimdall that
Ragnarök was upon them and Ymir
must be stopped. The warriors go to
fight Ymir, while Odin revealed his true
visage to the Vizier. Odin transformed
into Surtur, and fought Ymir Surtur and
Ymir locked in combat. To defeat
them, Thor retrieved Twilight Sword
from the Sea of Eternal Night. During
the battle, Thor became trapped, and
Eric Masterson made a fateful
sacrifice. He bridged Thor and Mjolnir,
and is re-merged with Thor. Thor lights
Twilight in the Eternal Flame which
causes Odin’s control over Surtur to
vanish. Surtur and Ymir fight over
Twilight, and while they are distracted,
Thor transports them both into the Sea
of Eternal Night, where they will be
frozen for all time. They reamined
there for many years. Thor, New
Avengers and Dark Avengers join
forces against Ymir and a group of
Frost Giants. Thor teamed up with
Iceman to take on Ymir and an army of
Frost Giants. Ymir tricked Thor into
powering the Casket of Future Winters
with his lightning from Mjolnir.
Unleashing the sum of cold itself onto
Midgard caused Iceman to become
more powerful and he defeated most
of the army single handedly but
exhausting himself in the process.

There are monsters of epic strength
and power that prowl the lands of

Running Fafnir:
Fafnir was a great dragon. His
arrogance and overconfidence
overwhelmed all of the more subtle
aspects of dragon personality, such as
curiosity and wit. Fafnir was a bully
and lived for the purpose of gaining
vengeance on Odin.
History:
Fafnir was once the King of Nastrond,
an extradimensional realm on the
continent of Asgard. As Fafnir and his
people were thoroughly evil, the ruler
of Asgard, Odin, destroyed the
kingdom and all of Fafnir's subjects.
Fafnir himself was left to die in the
ruined wasteland that was his former
kingdom. Fafnir, however, found a pool
with magical properties, and while
drinking from the pool sustained Fafnir,
it also transformed him into a massive
dragon. Fafnir now possessed strength
on par with the Thunder God Thor; a
devastating flame breath; the ability to
cast illusions and control weak-minded
individuals. Fafnir was now almost
invulnerable, as his dragon hide was
so dense that he barely felt blows from
Thor's hammer Mjolnir. It was said that
the pool had been formed from the
blood of Fafnir Hriedmarson, a Vanir
turned into a dragon due to a gold-
curse.
Despite these tremendous abilities,
Fafnir was never able to defeat Thor.
On the first occasion that Fafnir battled
Thor, he was sent hurtling into a deep
chasm created by a blow from the
Thunder God. Before his next
encounter with Thor he faced Warriors
Three who he seemingly defeated until
the Young Gods showed up and
rescued them. On the second
occasion he fought Thor, Loki freed
and assisted Fafnir against Thor but
both were held at bay by the combined
might of Mjolnir and the magical
Nornstones until the intervention of
Odin. Fafnir was eventually freed by
an earthquake, and used an Asgardian
woman named Lorelei as bait to lure
Thor into an ambush at a New York
construction site. Overpowered, Thor
sought the aid of an aged but valiant
warrior named Eilif. Fafnir was slain,
although at the cost of Eilif's life, and
was burned upon Eilif's funeral pyre.

Limitation:

Running Fenris:
The Fenris Wolf possesses human
intelligence but none of the sly wiles of
its father. The wolf was never very
civil, but its disposition has worsened
since its imprisonment. its goals, were
it to be freed, would be to kill as many
Asgardians as possible, immediately. It
might bear special antipathy for Tyr,
and for Loki.
History:
The Fenris Wolf is a creature of the
Asgardian dimension who is said to be
an offspring of Loki and the giant
Angerboda. It is a huge wolf (usual
height 15 feet tall) with human-like
intelligence, vast strength and the
capacity to change its shape to that of
a god or to change its size to that of a
real wolf. Before it reached maturity,
Fenris threatened Iduna, keeper of the
gods' Golden Apples of Immortality,
and was banished to Varinheim by
Haakun the Hunter. Just as Fenris
reached maturity, the Asgardian gods
decided it would be unsafe to allow
Fenris to roam the land unfettered.
They took to playing a game with the
wolf to see how easily it could snap the
bonds they put on it. Each time they
forged a thicker and stronger chain of
iron, but Fenris broke them all. Finally
Odin commanded one of the Dwarves
to forge an enchanted fetter. The dwarf
did so, creating a thin, silk like
substance of phenomenal durability
called Gleipnir. When the gods
entreated Fenris to try to break this
binding, the wolf-god sensed that the
fragile-looking substance was a trick.
Fenris agreed to let him put the bonds
around it only if there was a god willing
to put his hand in the wolf's mouth as a
gesture of trust. If the bonds did prove
to be unbreakable, Fenris would bite.
Among the gods assembled for this
task, only Tyr, the courageous god of
war, was willing to make such a
sacrifice. He placed his right hand
between the wolf's huge fangs as the
bonds were put in place, and when
Fenris learned that the more he
struggled, the tighter the bonds were
drawn, it bit off Tyr's hand. The gods
then bound Fenris to a rock where it
has been kept to this day. It is
prophesied that when Ragnarok, the
twilight of the Asgardian gods, occurs,
Fenris will devour Odin. Fenris was
killed in the final Ragnarök, although
what death means to the Asgardians
has yet to be seen. As with many of
the Asgardians since Thor undid the
endless cycle of Ragnarok, Fenris too
was reborn into the new Asgard
universe back on Midgard. Details of
its fate however are incredibly blurred
as to what its activities on Earth have
been as of late.

In his youth, Thor thought to battle the
Serpent prematurely and break the
Prophecy. The god of Thunder
persuaded the giant Hymir into letting
him use the giant's boat and the head
of his largest ox as bait for the largest,
most fearsome creature in the sea.
Thor hooked the Midgard Serpent, but
before he could act, Hymir sliced the
enchanted line which bound the
serpent. Another occasion when the
Thunder God encountered the World
Serpent took place during a battle that
almost became the true time of
Ragnarok. Only one element was out
of place which kept the prophecy from
being fulfilled; a mortal, "Red" Norvell,
stole the Belt of Thor, his Iron Gloves
and the mystic Hammer, Mjolnir. At the
fateful battle, where Thor was facing
the Serpent with only a sword, Norvell
returned and fought Jormungard.
Realizing that he couldn't best his foe,
Norvell tossed Mjolnir to the real Thor
and the tide of battle was turned. Thor
pommeled the Midgard Serpent
relentlessly, forcing his eternal enemy
to retreat. Ragnarok had been avoided
once more.
Recently, the serpent was informed of
Thor's weakened state (caused by a
curse cast upon him by Hela, the
Norse Goddess of Death) by the
104

Yggdrasill and The
10 Realms.
The Ten Worlds of Asgardian
cosmology are the separate worlds of
that dimension supported by
Yggdrasill, the World Tree. Although
the realms are commonly divided into
nine, further subdivisions can be
made. Additionally, a tenth realm
called Heven was previously cut-off
from the rest of Yggdrasill until the
death of the Watcher revealed its
existence. Thanks to the Allspeak, all
Asgardians and related races can
communicate in all of the languages of
the Nine Realms, Earth's dialects, and
various alien languages.
Travel between realms is done via
various portals and dimensional rifts.
The Asgardians travel via the Bifrost
the rainbow bridge that is guarded by
Heimdall.
Heven:
Home of the Angels. A paradisal
realm, Heven was cut off from the
other nine during a brutal war between
it and Asgard.
Heven was one of the Ten Realms. Its
inhabitants, the Angels, waged a war
against Asgard. After the Queen of
Angels seemingly killed his newborn
infant, Aldrif, Odin used his powers to
cut off Heven from the other Nine
Realms and Yggdrasil. In his hatred,
Odin spat a curse upon the Angels, a
curse wrought of the Odinforce to bind
them from forever returning home,
anchoring them deeper in the void.
The Odinforce Curse was so powerful
that the Angels used it to power their
world. The entry to Heven was later
reopened by Thor and Loki. With the
Odinforce Curse gone, the engine that
once powered Heven now threatened
to implode. Desperate, the Queen of
Angels sought Angela's aid, but she
refused to help despite the Queen's
offers. Eventually, Angela invaded
Heven and purified her sister from
Surtur's essence in the city's furnace,
paying her debt with Heven by
powering the city's engine and ending
the threat.

Asgard:
Home of the Aesir, later forming the
Asgardians with the Vanir.
Valhalla: Realm of the honored dead
which is distinct from but closely
connected to Asgard.
Nornheim: Home to the Norns.
Realm Below: Home of the insanely-
savage Rock Trolls, located beneath
Asgard.
Drawn directly from Norse mythology,
Asgard is the home of a powerful
pantheon of gods, including Thor. It is
a small, otherdimensional planetoid (its
surface area being about the same as
the continental United States), whose
nature and physics are different from
those of planetary bodies in the Earthly
dimension. Asgard is a part of the so
called Nine Worlds. Asgard is not a
sphere like the Earth, but a relatively
flat landmass suspended in space.
Asgard does not rotate about its axis,
nor does it revolve around a sun.
Asgard does have intervals of night
and day, so some object or force
functions as a sun. There is no
evidence of changing seasons,
however portions of Asgard are in
perpetual winter while others are in
perpetual summer. Asgard's gravity
apparently radiates from somewhere
below it: there is a "top" and a "bottom"
to Asgard. At the edges of Asgard's
landmass, a being or object can fall
into a void, but some unknown force
apparently keeps the edges
themselves from eroding. The same
force also prevents the bodies of water
along Asgard's boundaries from
pouring into the void and prevents
Asgard's atmosphere from escaping.
Asgard has been described as floating
on a "Sea of Space." This sea
apparently has a surface, one that is
navigable by Asgardian ships, which
resemble Viking longboats. The exact
nature of space within the Asgardian
dimension is unknown.
While Asgard's gravity is roughly
analogous to Earth's, common matter
is considerably denser on average. For
instance, a chair made of Asgardian
wood is heavier and stronger than a
chair made of Earthly wood. Rock,
water, flesh, bone, steel: all matter is
denser and thus more durable. The
Asgardian dimension includes other
areas. The inhabitants refer to the
totality as the Nine Worlds. Four of
them are located on the main
landmass: Asgard, home of the Aesir;
Vanaheim, home of their sister race,
the Vanir; Nidavellir, home of the
Dwarves; and Alfheim, home of the
Light Elves. The others are in nearby
easily accessible dimensions. For the
sake of creating a comprehensible
diagram, the Nine Worlds of Asgard
are placed in a multi-leveled
configuration. These levels do not
represent any real physical distances
or relationships. Instead, they
represent the interdimensional
relationships between the realms.
Jotunheim, the home of the Giants, is
a flat ring-shaped realm with high
mountains along its inner edge.
Svartalfheim, home of the Dark Elves,
is another planetoid, smaller than
Asgard. There are several dimensional
portals between the mountains of
Jotunheim and Svartalfheim and the
mountains of Asgard, permitting easy
passage by denizens of each realm.
These portals make Jotunheim and
Svartalfheim seem like "underworlds"
of the Asgardian continent itself.
Muspelheim, land of the Fire Demons.
In Asgardian cosmology, Muspelheim
and Nifflheim existed first, separated
from one another by Ginnungagap, the
Yawning Void. Another of the Nine
Worlds is Hel, realm of the dead, and
its sister realm, Niffleheim. In the
Asgardian afterlife, heroes and the
honored dead go to Valhalla, a special
region of Asgard; the common dead go
to Hel; and the dishonored dead
(murderers and other evildoers) go to
Nifflheim.
Asgard is honeycombed with portals to
the other parts of the Nine Worlds,
making the worlds sometimes seem
like they are on a contiguous plain;
indeed, early cartographers of Asgard
mapped it this way. The only
permanent portal to Earth, Bifrost, the
Rainbow Bridge, has recently been
shattered, severing Asgard's
connection with Earth and making
passage between realms difficult.
There is a special passageway from
Asgard to the extradimensional realm
106
of Olympus, home of the Greek gods.
Since Olympus is not a part of the
Asgardian cosmology, this portal is
believed to be an artificial rather than
natural phenomenon. Another unique
feature of Asgard is the Cave of Time,
an apparently natural phenomenon
through which passage to other times
is possible. Midgard, Earth, does not
appear to be physically affected by the
motions of any of the other physical
bodies in the Asgardian cosmology,
although Earth's axis is in alignment
with one of the roots of Yggdrasil, the
cosmic ash tree that stands in Asgard.
Somewhere in Asgard's outlying Sea
of Space there may be floating portals
to Earth's space, because Earth
beings have been able to travel from
Earthly to Asgardian space. There may
also be an edge to Asgard's Sea of
Space, perhaps at the perimeter of the
"Dome of the Sky" extending from the
outer edge of ringed Jotunheim. At the
edge of the Sea there would exist
"Dimensional borderlands" which serve
as transitional areas between discrete
dimensions.
Asgard and its sister realms are
populated by six distinct humanoid
races, described under Asgardians.
Besides these, there are several
singular creatures that exist in the Nine
Worlds. The first is the Jormungand
the Midgard Serpent, an immense
snake or dragon whose body encircles
the inner edge of the mountains of
Jotunheim closest to Midgard. The
Midgard Serpent lies at the very edge
of the dimensional boundary between
Jotunheim and Midgard and prevents
easy passage between dimensions.
The second is the winged dragon
Nidhogg, who lives in Nifflheim and
gnaws at one of the roots of Yggdrasil.
The third is the giant wolf-god Fenris,
who was responsible for the war-god
Tyr losing a hand. Fenris is imprisoned
in the distant land of Varinheim. The
fourth creature is the primordial ice
giant Ymir.

Nornheim is an independent country,
of which Karnilla is absolute monarch.
Karnilla lives opulently in the ancient
fastness of Nornkeep, attended by her
servant, the aged minor sorceress
Haag, and troops of guardian demons.
Although there are many demons

Harokin:
Harokin the region is named for the
leader of the legions of Valhalla, the
Einherjar. During a period where Hela
controlled Valhalla and its troops,
Harokin served under her. He was,
however, critical of his superior. He
fought for Hela in a war against her
rival Ollerus the Unmerciful. Harokin
welcomed Valkyrie to Valhalla and
acted friendly towards her. He was
shocked when he learned that the
Norns predicted that Hela would cast
Val to Niffleheim. He questioned Hela
about her supposed unfair decision.
Val was appointed commander of the
Valkyrior and led Hela's forces on
campaign, alongside Harokin. The two
armies met in battle at the Pass of
Peril. Harokin was a deceased
Asgardian who was once a foe of
Thor. He was used by Hela, the
Asgardian goddess of death, in an
attempt to seduce Thor into entering
Valhalla, the home of the honored
Asgardian dead.
Jolena:
As with Harokin, the kingdom of Jolena
is named for Queen Jolena of
Skarnheim, who once filled Odin's
heart with love.
Vanaheim:
One of the Nine Worlds and exists on
the highest level of the World Tree
along with Asgard and Alfheim. Its
inhabitants are the Vanir, who are the
sister race to the Aesir of Asgard; sired
long ago by Njord, who had taken a
group of Asgardians to settle
Vanaheim. The Vanir were masters of
sorcery and magic. They are also
widely recognized for their talent to
predict the future.
Geography:
The realm is filled with vast forests,
fields and planes. It has become home
to various other races such as Rock
Trolls and Ogres. Malekith the
Accursed described the realm as "filled
with dusty old gods and enough trees
to build a bonfire the size of the sun".
The realm is also filled with the ruins of
gigantic castles mountain-sized and
citadels, known as the "ruins of
Vanaheim" or as the "abandoned city
of the Vanir".
Politics and Leadership:
Vanaheim is represented in the
Congress of Worlds by two Vanir
senators. Freyja represented her
homeworld on the council for a while.
History:
The First God, Buri, bore three sons
called Bor, Mimir, and Njord. Bor and
his sons Odin, Ve and Vili founded the
race known as the Aesir, while Njord
left, sired the Vanir and founded
Vanaheim. On the Plains of Vanaheim,
the Asgardians battled the Frost
Giants for nine months. But when the
Frost Giants finally retreat, when
"Thor" appeared and in front of Balder
the Brave, began killing Asgardians
before leaving. In their early history,
the Vanir built gigantic castles
mountain-sized and citadels that could
be seen from worlds away. They later
grew weary of the warfare required to
defend them, and decided to return
into the forest, leaving their towers to
fall apart, known as the "ruins of
Vanaheim". A few stories happened in
Vanaheim, including the encounter of
Old Loki and young Odin with
Hriedmar and his sons Otr the changer
of shapes, Fafnir the greedy and Regin
the vengeful, leading to the creation of
the sword Gram and the later death of
Regin and Fafnir at Sigurd's hand.
The young king Odin of the Aesir tried
to force the union of the two tribe, and
went to war with Freyr and the people
of Vanaheim. Seemingly over a matter
of pride, Freyr refused to bend. He
received support from Surtur of
Muspelheim. The war ultimately ended
with a peace treaty and marriage
between the two royal families, as
Odin was betrothed to Freyr's daughter
108
Freyja. Their union marked the union
of the two people.
During Ragnarök, Thor gathered the
citizens of Asgard and headed to
Vanaheim, where to either rebuild the
city or make a final stand. They
eventually reached Vanaheim, under
attack by Fenris and Durok. Beta Ray
Bill returned, and was left him to
protect the realm while he continued
his mission.
While investigating Heimdall's
Observatory Thor, Steve Rogers and
Iron Man were sucked into the portal,
each waking up on different areas of
the Nine Realms. Thor awoke in a
deserted Vanaheim, affected by Hela's
machinations, and was soon attacked
by the Enchantress, who accused him
of being the cause of the Realms
imbalance (having brought Asgard on
Midgard). He was then attacked by
Hela, who attempted to use the
imbalance to unite the Realms under
her rule. Thor, Amora and Hela all
ended up knocked out in the fight, with
the two witches transported elsewhere
with Mjolnir, while Thor was retrieved
in Vanaheim by Rogers and Stark.
The War of Burning started across the
Nine Realms, but truly erupted when
Leah went to Vanaheim and proposed
Surtur's technology to Vanaheim
steward Gullveig, who then burned
down the Temple of Union. The
Asgardians (Aesir and loyal Vanir
alike) attacked Vanaheim while the
rebel Vanir invaded all of the realms. A
group of Dark Elves refugees went to
Vanaheim to hide in the ruins, but
were slaughtered by Malekith. They
were soon found back Thor who
traveled to Vanaheim with the League
of Realms.

The modern race known as the
Asgardians is actually a blend of the
Aesir and the Vanir.
The Vanir, often known as the "Wise
Gods of Old" were a proud people.
Origin
The First God, Buri, bore three sons
called Bor, Mimir, and Njord. Bor and
his sons Odin, Ve and Vili founded the
race known as the Aesir, while Njord
left, sired the Vanir and founded
Vanaheim. In their early history, the
Vanir built gigantic castles mountain-
sized and citadels that could be seen
from worlds away. They later grew
weary of the warfare required to
defend them, and decided to return
into the forest, leaving their towers to
fall apart, known as the "ruins of
Vanaheim". Freyr later became the
leader of the Vanir.
In his youth, Odin and the time-
travelling Old Loki met with an human-
sized otter whom Loki killed and
crafted two fur coats from. Arriving to
the inn of Hriedmar of the Vanir, they
soon learned that the otter was
Hriedmar's son Otr the changer of
shapes. As Loki settled the debt with
gold, stolen from Andvari, who had
cursed it, and left with Odin,
Hriedmar's son Fafnir's greed was
revealed by the curse: he killed
Hriedmar, left his brother Regin for
dead, and departed with the gold.
Regin's violence was revealed by the
curse as well, and he swore
vengeance upon his brother and upon
all Asgardians. While the curse
changed Fafnir into a dragon, Regin
crafted the sword Gram, Fafnir's Death
and Asgard's bane. After having
Sigurd to kill Fafnir, Regin tried to
murder the Asgardian, only to be slain
in return.
The two tribes of Gods eventually
became rivals. A generation ago as
Gods perceive time, the young king
Odin of the Aesir tried to force the
union of the two tribe, and went to war
with Freyr and the people of
Vanaheim. Seemingly over a matter of
pride, Freyr refused to bend. He
received support from Surtur of
Muspelheim. The war ultimately ended
with a peace treaty and marriage
between the two royal families, as
Odin was betrothed to Freyr's daughter
Freyja. Their union marked the union
of the two people. No matter the
peace, and despite the fact that the
records of the war were destroyed, a
certain grudge existed among the
Vanir towards the Aesir and Asgard
remained, even beared by Njord, who
despised Odin's race. Although, Vanir
and Aesir mixed, and couples were
wed at the Temple of Union.
After Jotunheim paid the Angels of
Heven for devising strategy, they
suggested an alliance of all of the
Asgardians' enemies, who
consequently prepared war against
Asgard, including Vanaheim. War
eventually broke, with all against all
and all against Asgard, with constant
alliances and treasons, but with no one
befriending Asgard, in fear of the
Angels' wrath. The Vanir seemingly
suffered from the Angels. The heir due
for the peace to be sealed between
Aesir and Vanir was eventually birthed
in the form of Aldrif Odinsdottir, but
stolen by the Angels during the Final
Battle of the War of Angels. Freyja was
left devastated, unwitting to sire
another heir. The Vanir and Aesir
continued to coexist as Asgardians,
some of them without distinction
between the two former tribes, like
Heimdall and Sif, but a rift remained.
In modern days, after an army of
Trolls, Ulik, Hyrm the Giant,
commanding the boat Naglfar, itself
filled with an army of the dead, led by
Loki came to Asgard and killed Balder,
Ragnarök was initiated, and Thor
Odinson rallied the Valyries, Aesir,
Vanir all together to fight for Asgard
and the honor of a warrior's death. Led
by Thor, the citizens of Asgard then
departed on an exodus to Vanaheim.
By the time they arrived, Vanaheim
was under attack from Fenris' army.
When Beta Ray Bill arrived and killed
Fenris, his army fled away in fear. The
109
Aesir and Vanir waited in the city of
Vanaheim for the final battle, while
Thor led Surtur and his army to them,
as part of his plan to free the
Asgardians from the Ragnarök cycle
and the influence of Those Who Sit
Above in Shadow.
After the Second War of the Serpent
and Odin's departure from Asgard, the
All-Mother replaced himself and
instated Asgardia, wishing to rule by
consensus among the realms, and
assembled the Congress of Worlds,
with Freyja as the representative of the
"Fallen Vanir". Later, Surtur had
Gullveig to rebel against Asgard,
offering them the same gifts as to
Freyr, along with his and the
Manchester Gods' technologies. The
rebel Vanir and the Engels destroyed
the Temple of Union and war broke
between them and all on the Nine
Realms, including the Asgardian Vanir.
After the War, and as Odin had been
brought back from his exile, Freyja
decided to carry a new heir from Odin,
blood of Vanir and Aesir. Nine months
later was born Laussa Odinsdottir. The
fate and whereabouts of the Vanir
followers of Gullveig is unknown.
The Vanir were seemingly later
granted a seat as Vanaheim in the
Congress of Worlds, being
represented by unidentified senators.
When Odin dreamed of Those Who Sit
Above in Shadow warning him of the
incoming Ragnarök related to the Final
Incursion, he tried to seal an alliance
between the Realms represented in
the Congress of World to destroy
Midgard and save the other Realms,
but none would follow him. Meanwhile,
as the Final Incursion began, the Vanir
were talking of revolt against the
Asgardians, with old grievances
gaining new airings. Freyja assured
Odin that in any case, the Vanir would
join forces with Asgard. As Odin blew
Gjallerhorn, the heroes and allies of
Asgard assembled, among them the
Vanir led by Idunn, and fought Hela
and King Loki's armies and allies. Like
much of the representatives among
the Congress of Worlds, the Vanir
weren't determined to act after Jane
Foster's report of Light Elves murdered
and projected upon Midgard, doubting
of a testimony "acquired" from Thor
(Jane Foster herself).

Alfheim (Ljosalfheim):
Alfheim is one of the Ten Realms and
exists on the highest level of the World
Tree along with Asgard and Vanaheim.
Its inhabitants are the Light Elves.
Geography
Alfheim is as a kingdom of enchanted
forests, candy vegetation, rivers and
springs of wine, and beautiful gardens.
The capital city of the realm is the
castle stronghold of Ljosalfgard.
Several tribes of Light Elves, Faeries,
Pixies, and Mermaids inhabit various
regions and climates of Alfheim along
with magical fauna such as Unicorns
and winged cat steeds.
Politics and Leadership
Alfheim is a monarchy ruled by Queen
Aelsa Featherwine of the Fay. The
realm was formerly ruled by Lord Frey
and his lady wife, Gerd. Alfheim is
represented in the Congress of Worlds
by two Light Elf senators one being
Milkmane. Ayelah represented her
world on the council for a time.
History:
A young Loki traveled to Alfheim
during his mystical training. Thor was
also sent there during his training.
Modern History:
Lady Sif confronted Red Norvell in
Alfheim when he gained the power of
Thor. He used his powers to attack the
peaceful Light Elves. Loki tricked
Northstar of Alpha Flight into believing
he had a Light Elf mother. This
prompted him to journey to Alfheim to
learn the truth. However the truth was
revealed and he return home to rejoin
his team. Hrinmeer the Flame was
half-Light Elf and half-Asgardian Fire
Demon. Despising the Light Elves, he
attacked the realm. During Ragnarok,
Thor found a thinner Volstagg in
Alfheim after the hordes of Loki
attacked there, killing Fandral and
Hogun. At least one Ice Elf city in
Alfheim was destroyed and its
inhabitants killed by the Ano-Athox's
rampage over the Nine Realms. The
Light Elves battle the Fire Demon
hordes of Surtur who wished to
destroy their realm. They were able to
protect their world. The League of
Realms tracked Malekith the Accursed
and his Dark Elves to Alfheim, and
manage to stop them, but once again
Malekith slipped away. Thor worried
about his League falling apart in front
of him, but figured out a way for them
to bond together, even if for just a little
while. They head to the nearest tavern,
where Thor and Ogg engage in a
drinking contest, while the others
wager on the winner. Later, outside,
Thor has other plans for winning
Waziria's trust, and kisses her
passionately. The Dark Council first
act of war was the massacre of the
Light Elves. They sent their bodies
hurtling through space towards
Midgard with a few crashing into a
Roxxon weather satellite.

Geography:
The Dwarves live underground
working in the caverns of the
Nidavellir. They have large forgers
utilizing the flames and heat from
beneath the surface to create weapons
used by the Dwarves and their allies.
Dwarves are the race that have crafted
the most powerful weapons in the Nine
Realms including: Mjolnir, Gungnir,
and Stormbreaker. The nomadic Rock
Trolls also inhabit some areas of this
land. The realm was once described
as; "In Nidavellir you'll find every
precious gemstone you have ever
heard of and many you haven't. All
guarded by dull little Dwarves inside
dull little mountains."
Politics and Leadership:
Nidavellir is represented in the
Congress of Worlds by two dwarf
senators. Hreidmar the scholar
represented his world on the council
for a while.
Events:
After the All-Father Odin of Asgard
thwarted a Rock Troll invasion attempt
led by Ulik, his realm and Nidavellir
forged an alliance. As a gift and as a
symbol of the bond between these two
realms, the Dwarf King Eitri gifted Odin
a nugget of raw Uru. This nugget of
Uru was later given back to the
Dwarves by Odin when he had used it
to trap a sentient storm known as the
God Tempest, so they could forge it
into a weapon, the magical mallet
known as Mjolnir. Thor traveled to
Nidavellir during his training. On
Nidavellir; Thor went to the workshop
of King Sindri, where he is given the
ship "Skidbladnir", which he used to
cross the Dark Sea and reach the
lands of King Mirmir. The boat is small
enough to fit in a pocket, but grows to
full size and flies if needed. On
Nidavellir seeking cover from a raging
storm, Thor asks King Sindri of the
Dwarfs to provide him shelter. The
Dwarfs requiring to provide another
slave to the Trolls, as payment to
avoid their kingdom being attacked,
drop Thor down into the pit of the
Trolls. There he is made their prisoner
and is shackled to a wall. However,
Thor frees himself with the aid of his
hammer and sets the slaves free and
single handedly defeats all the Trolls.
Freeing everyone, Thor leads them to
the surface and uses his hammer to
seal the entrance to the Trolls caverns.
Odin traveled via the pass of Ullthang,
to get to Nidavellir. He met with their
king Eitri and master builder to
construct a weapon for Asgard's new
champion Beta Ray Bill. He agreed on
one condition he sends his greatest
female warriors to defeat their
champion Throgg. He sent Lady Sif
but was shocked to learn the Dwarves
was larger than she was. However she
defeated their champion. Eitri was
please as Throgg was using his size to
bully the other Dwarves. Eitri and his
team of blacksmith created a weapon
to rival Mjolnir. Odin powers the
weapon in the furnace and Bill reached
in to claim his weapon the
Stormbreaker.
The New Mutants are scattered by
Loki around the Nine Reams.
Cannonball found himself in Nidavellir.
He was met by Eitri and his soldiers
who were under siege by the Rock
Trolls. He managed to fight off the
invaders, but was stabbed in the back
by one of them while rescuing Eitri's
wife and collapsed right after the battle
was won. For his deed, Sam was
welcomed as a true friend by Eitri and
his daughter, who has taken a fancy
on Sam. They were then attacked by a
112
group of Dark Elves from Svartalfheim
who had brainwashed Magma. During
the insuring battle, the Fairies are
fought back and Magma was taken
prisoner. They are able to return her to
normal, but were interrupted by Loki
who ordered the Dwarves to construct
him a weapon as powerful as that of
his brother Thor. When he spots
Cannonball among the Dwarves, Etiri
covered by telling Loki that he was an
"idiot nephew". Loki was satisfied with
this and teleported away, telling Etiri
that he expects the hammer soon.
Glimda was an Asgardian who was
praised for her beautiful long hair.
Jealous of the attention she received
Loki managed to sneak up one night
and cut her off her hair. Feeling sorry
about her Thor managed to replace
her hair with pure gold, being helped
by the Dwarves of Nidavellir. Odin had
the Dwarves to create a new weapon
the Thunderstrike mace. Nidavellir was
one of the worlds invaded by Hrinmeer
the Flame and his Fire Demon army.
Loki went to Nidavellir to find the forge
that created Mjolnir. He took it and
Surtur creates multiple hammers like
Mjolnir. During Ragnarok; Amora, the
Enchantress traveled to Nidavellir to
request the help of the Dwarves; Grerr,
Alfrigg and Dvalin. The dwarves
annoyed with Asgard's lack of
leadership create "Thor" a dwarf raised
to resemble Thor. He, however, was
no match for the Thunder God and
was easily slain. The Dwarves forged
Frogjolnir a miniature version of Mjolnir
for Throg. Nidavellir was frozen for a
time by Hela including the fire pits had
been turned to ice. But all was later
returned to normal thanks to Thor.
During the War of the Serpent, Odin
Borson let Stark have access to the
forges of Nidavellir, and created an
arsenal of Uru weapons to combat the
enemy forces razing the Earth. In
order to acquire his own
enhancements, Tony merged the
systems of the Bleeding Edge Armor
with Uru, turning it into the "Iron
Destroyer" until the battle ended.
When Odin left to Asgard, the
enhancements of the Uru weapons
and the Iron Destroyer were gone, so
Tony vented the Uru from the suit's
structure and gave it back to the forges
along with the rest of the weapons to
be melted.
Hreidmar brought Thor to Nidavellir.
He showed Thor a sealed door that
beared an inscription stating that the
door stay sealed for all time by the
order of Odin. To continue construction
in the repairs of Nidavellir, Hreidmar
asked that Thor smash open the door,
to which Thor agreed. This however
released the Mares. The League of
Realms traveled to Nidavellir guided
by Screwbeard on a mission to defeat
Malekith the Accursed. Thor's
prosthetic left arm was created in the
forges of Nidavellir using "Black Uru".
Screwbeard took transported their
latest creation to Asgard to present to
the Asgardians.

Midgard (Earth):
Midgard or Earth is a rocky planet
orbiting the Sun, and the third planet in
order from the star it orbits. Midgard as
it known to the Asgardians is one of
the Nine Worlds and exists on the
middle level of the World Tree along
with Jotunheim. Midgard is
represented in the Congress of Worlds
by a single human senator. Bill Cobb
and Jane Foster have both
represented their home world on the
council.

Known Powers:
Humans can have a variety of powers
ranging from being altered by
chemicals, radiation or other outside
sources. It be could be anything from
latent mutants powers to the mutant ‘X’
gene or even magic, possibly even
some sort of technology suit or
equipment.
Formation:
Earth is the third planet of the Sol
system. It has one moon. It is
sometimes referred to as the world or
Midgard. Sometimes, it is called by its
Latin name, Terra or Tellus. The
Hydrogen gases of the Big Bang
formed galaxies, then suns, then
planets, among them Earth. It seems
that the Sun, Earth and the Moon were
all originated from the fragments of
Gigantus. Just after its creation, the
Ethereal Energy of Life spawned
Demiurge, who seeded the planet with
its energies, creating the Elder Gods.
Many continents eventually formed,
including Gondwanaland and Laurasia.
Life:
After half a billion years, 4 billion years
ago, the formation of "building block of
life" from waters stirred by volcanic
heat and lightning's pulse led to the
primordial cell, who divided in two
cells, one of them modifying his
genetic pattern and both reassembling,
before splintering again and spreading
that change into all descendant of that
first organism, manifesting its intellect
in random creatures every 100,000
years, transferring itself from species
to species in order to remain in the
fittest host-species. Millions of years
later (500 million years ago), diversity
of life began to manifest itself, with
fish. Those new forms of organic life
were watched over by Gaea who
became life's protector. Life spread,
with the plants who first invaded Earth,
then the great forests, fish crawled
Earth as the first amphibious life, the
Lizards and Dinosaurs eventually
appeared, and lived developed within
100 to 200 million years, the Age of
Set. The first mammals rose as well.
Eventually, Gaea and Which That
Endures decided to let the Dinosaurs
fade in profit for those mammals. Set
refused that, and sent his Dinosaurs to
try to eradicate the mammals, but was
countered by Atum.

Super humans, Super Heroes and
Villains. The tradition of using
costumed secret identities to fight evil
had long existed in this world but it
came into prominence during the days
of the American 'Wild West' with
heroes such as the Phantom Rider.
During the 20th Century, the tradition
was reinvigorated, first by Captain
America in the 40's and then by
Spider-Man in modern times. Earth's
major heroes are the Amazing Spider-
Man, the Invincible Iron Man, Doctor
Strange, Sorcerer Supreme, Daredevil,
Black Panther, the Mighty Thor, the
Incredible Hulk, the Fantastic Four,
S.H.I.E.L.D.’s director Nick Fury, and
Captain America. The Avengers and
the X-Men are also major players,
although the memberships of both
114
groups have often changed. The
Avengers have included most of
Earth's major heroes as members at
one time or another. The X-Men
consists of various mutants, such as
Wolverine, brought together by
Professor X. Dr. Strange has often
formed an ad-hoc team of heroes
called The Defenders to help him deal
with major menaces to the world, often
including the Hulk, the Sub-Mariner,
the Silver Surfer, and various other
heroes.
Of course, as one would expect in a
universe with superheroes, there
would inevitably have to be crime and
evil, and this universe is by far no
exception. Arguably the most dastardly
and dreaded villain on Earth by far
would have to be Victor Von Doom,
the dreaded Doctor Doom, archenemy
of the Fantastic Four. He has the
record of most heroes fought, having
fought nearly every hero on Earth.
Other major villains include Magnus,
the mutant master of magnetism
known as Magneto and the mutant
overlord Apocalypse, archenemies of
the X-Men, corrupt businessman
Norman Osborn, the megalomaniacal
Green Goblin, Doctor Otto Octavius,
a.k.a Doctor Octopus, and Eddie
Brock, once the venomous Venom, all
of whom are the top archenemies of
Spider-Man, Victor Creed, Sabretooth,
archenemy of Wolverine, Wilson Fisk,
the Kingpin of Crime, archenemy of
Daredevil, Samuel Sterns, the Leader,
and Emil Blonsky, the gamma-
irradiated monster the Abomination,
archenemies of the incredible Hulk, the
Dreaded Dormammu and Baron
Mordo, archenemies of Doctor
Strange, the Nazi Fascist Red Skull,
archenemy of Captain America, the
trickster god Loki, archenemy of Thor,
the Mandarin, archenemy of Iron Man,
Kang the Conqueror and Ultron,
archenemies of the Avengers, and
Mephisto, archenemy of Ghost Rider
and the Silver Surfer.
A degree of paranoid fear against
mutants exists due to stories of
mutants being a race or even a
species that is evolving and is meant
to replace normal humans. This has
caused organizations to form to deal
with the problem, who can be divided
into three camps: those who seek
peaceful coexistence between mutants
and normal humans (the X-Men and
their affiliated groups), those who seek
to control or eliminate humans to give
mutants safety or dominance
(Magneto and his followers, as well as
other mutants such as Apocalypse),
and those who seek to regulate or
eliminate mutants in favor of humans.
The latter often use the robots known
as Sentinels as weapons.
Origin of superhuman powers
Most of the super humans owe their
powers to the Celestials, cosmic
entities who visited Earth one million
years ago and experimented on our
prehistoric ancestors (a process they
also carried out on several other
planets). This resulted in the creation
of two hidden races, the godlike
Eternals and the genetically unstable
Deviants, in addition to giving some
humans an "x-factor" in their genes,
which sometimes activates naturally,
resulting in sometimes super powered,
sometimes disfigured individuals called
mutants. Others require other factors
(such as radiation) for their powers to
come forth. With the exception of
psionic abilities, these powers are
usually random; rarely do two people
have the exact same set of powers. It
is not clear why the Celestials did this,
although it is known that they continue
to observe humanity's evolution. The
majority of the public is unaware of
what may cause superhuman powers.
Other possible origins for superhuman
powers include: magic, genetic
manipulation or bionic implants. Some
heroes and villains have no powers at
all but depend instead on hand-to-
hand combat training or advanced
technological equipment. Technology
is slightly more advanced than in our
world; this is due to unique individuals
of genius intelligence, such as Reed
Richards, (Mister Fantastic) of the
Fantastic Four, Tony Stark, the
Invincible Iron Man, Bruce Banner, the
Incredible Hulk, and Doctor Doom.
However, most of the really advanced
devices (such as powered armor and
death rays) are too expensive for the
common citizen, and are usually in the
hands of government organizations
like S.H.I.E.L.D., or powerful criminal
organizations like the Maggia, A.I.M.,
and Hydra. One major company
producing these devices is Stark
International, owned by Anthony Stark
(Iron Man) but there are others.
Advanced technology has also been
given to humans by hidden races,
aliens, or time travelers like Kang the
Conqueror, who is known to have
influenced the robotics industry in the
past.
The battery effect: the cells in the
body have the same function as
batteries, being charged with energy
that comes from an outer source. This
is most often seen in gamma exposed
individuals as the Hulk, who get their
powers from this stored energy. The
powers will remain as long as the
energy is present, and can even be
increased by filling the "batteries" even
more. If the energy is emptied, the
powers will fade away.
Psionic energy: which is assumed to
be an invisible, unknown form of
energy generated by all living brains
that has the ability to manipulate other
forms of matter and energy. Universal
psionic field is a force present
everywhere in the universe, but only
those with abilities to connect to it can
make use of its energy. Enigma Force
is suspected to be connected to the
Microverse, and is also the source to
the Uni-Power, which transform an
individual into Captain Universe.
Extra-dimensional space:
dimensions that can be tapped in order
to pull mass from them (to add to
objects on Earth) or taken away from
those objects and be stored in those
"pocket dimensions" to be retrieved
later. This is how characters like the
Hulk can grow and shrink with no
visible absorption of mass. A type of
subatomic particles called Pym
Particles can be used for these effects.
The change in mass can be in the form
of a density change instead, allowing a
character to become harder or
incorporeal. Some characters can
seem to "transform" themselves (or
others) into nonliving substances, or
even pure energy, by storing their
bodies in extradimensional space and
replacing them with bodies made from
matter or energy from that dimension,
while their souls remain on Earth,
controlling their new body. Travel into
other dimensions can also be used as
a way to "teleport" by re-entering the
Earth dimension at a different point
from the exiting one.
115
The Darkforce: an unknown, dark
substance from another dimension
(known simply as the Darkforce
Dimension) that can be summoned
and manipulated in many ways: to
create impenetrable darkness, to
solidify it in various forms, and (most
notably) to absorb the "life energy"
from living beings. The Darkforce can
also be used to travel to and from its
home dimension, but this is dangerous
to all except those with Darkforce
powers. Some believe that the
Darkforce is sentient and sometimes
has an evil influence on those who use
it. Various heroes and villains have
versions of Darkforce powers,
including Darkstar, the first Blackout,
the Shroud, Cloak and Quagmire.
Cloak seems to be the prime 'portal' to
the Darkforce, however.
The Living Light: the opposite of the
Darkforce: a form of energy that
resembles light and also comes from
its own dimension, but has healing
effects on living beings (except ones
made of darkness or Darkforce.) It is
unknown if it might be sentient. Cloak's
partner, Dagger seems to be the Living
Light's main avatar.
Magic: appears to be like a form of
energy, except that it can defy the laws
of physics naturally. However, it does
have rules of its own to follow, which
vary with the method of invocation,
usually in the form of spoken spells. It
appears to be present in everything,
even living beings. All humans in the
Marvel Universe have the ability to use
magic, but only if properly trained.
Most people are unaware that magic
actually works. In addition, powerful
magical beings from other dimensions
have created specific, extremely
powerful magical spells that they allow
to be used (often indiscriminately) by
those sorcerers who invoke their
names; one example is the trinity of
beings called The Vishanti, who serve
as patrons to heroic sorcerers. At any
given time, there is a sorcerer on Earth
whose task is to protect the universe
against extradimensional mystical
invaders; this sorcerer is known as the
Sorcerer Supreme, an office formerly
held by Doctor Strange, and currently
held by Doctor Voodoo.
"Hellfire" is a magical force that
resembles fire, but is cold and hurts
the soul rather than the physical body;
it is used mostly by demonic beings.
Supernatural Beings:
Angels: are celestial beings that live in
the extra-dimensional realm of heaven.
They were created by God with the
sole purpose to serve him. They were
charged with protecting mankind from
the evils of the universe. However,
some of the angels were jealous of the
humans and attempted to rebel
against their father lead by Lucifer but
they were cast out of heaven to the
extra-dimensional realm known as
Hell. Over time these fallen angels
became demons. These two faction
have been at war for over one million
years.
Demons: evil demonic beings, one of
the most notorious being Mephisto.
Others include Nightmare, D'Spayre,
N'Astirh , Dormammu, and Shuma-
Gorath.

immortal human-like races from other
dimensions who visited Earth in
ancient times. Note none of the ones
claiming to be figures from Judeo-
Christian beliefs (such as Satan, God,
or the Angels) have turned out to be
the real article.

against the Jotuns. As boys, Thor and
Loki traveled to Jotunheim chasing
after some Storm Giants that stole the
Golden Apples of Idunn. They
demanded them back but the Giants
refused and attacked. They retrieved
the apples and escaped on the back of
the King of the Eagles. Utgard-Loki,
disguised as Skrymir, led Thor and
Loki into his castle Utgardhall. There,
he challenged the gods to a series of
contests. Loki fought against Logi in an
eating contest, and lost after Logi
consumed not only the food but the
plates, and table as well. Loki then is
challenged to a footrace by Hugi, but
loses before he even starts. Thor then
accepts the challenge of emptying a
drinking horn, but fails there, as the
horn is just as full as when he started.
Utgard then challenges Thor to lift a
cat off the floor, but he is only able to
barely get one paw up. The final
challenge is for Thor to best an old
woman, Elli, in a wrestling contest, but
he completely fails at that as well. After
they have been completely bested,
Utgard reveals that they have been
tricked, as Logi is really fire, Hugi is
really thought, Elli is really the
personification of old age, and the cat
was in reality Jormungand, the
Midgard Serpent. When Thor became
the champion of Asgard he would
regularly fight the Jotuns to stop them
from invading other realms.
While traveling out to Jotunheim, Thor
and Loki were searching for a path
leading to the land of Olympus, home
of the Olympian Gods when they
happen upon some Storm Giants,
which Thor easily defeated. However,
the battle caused the ground to rupture
and Thor fell into the chasm, finding
himself in a tunnel. Following it to its
end, he found himself on Olympus.
After fighting the Olympian Gods, Thor
was returned to Jotunheim. The
cavern then collapsed and the portal to
Olympus was sealed. Loki took Red
Norvell to Jotunheim to show his might
against the Frost Giants, but Thor
followed them. Loki bested Thor by
casting a weakening spell upon Thor,
dividing his strength by half while in
Jotunheim. Thor called forth his Belt of
Strength and, augmented by the belt,
defeated Loki and a group of Rock
Trolls. While battling some Storm
Giants in Jotunheim, Thor and Loki
discovered the crack in the ground that
once led to Olympus. This time,
strange mists robed Thor of his
memory as he and Loki were
separated in the cavern. Vidar asked
Thor for his help to avenge the murder
of his wife by Storm Giants. They
traveled to Jotunheim and battled
Horvald, Grolf and Aslak seeking
justice.
The Frost Giants attacked Nornheim
and kidnapped Queen Karnilla. Balder
and Agnar went to rescue her. Balder
snuck his way into the castle of
Utgard-Loki, but was caught and
forced to fight Hagen, who was armed
with the Sword of Frey. In Jotunheim,
Loki paid a visit to the shrunken Frost
Giants of Utgard-Loki. He told them his
plan to render Thor helpless. Loki
created a potion in Jotunheim before
returning to Asgard to unleash it. Odin
summoned Thor to fight an invasion of
Frost Giants but Thor ignored this to
help Midgard. The Thermal Man from
Midgard was sent to fight the Frost
Giants and send them back to
Jotunheim. As the Frost Giant Thrymr
had stolen Mjolnir and demanded the
hand of Freya or even of his Thor's
mother Freyja, Thor traveled to
Jotunheim, disguised as the bride, and
attended the ceremony. He ended up
slaughtering everyone in the Hall of
Thrymr in revenge.
The Hulk and the Pantheon travelled
to Jotunheim and battled the Frost
Giants Siingard and Tuurgid the
Unbeatable. The warriors of Jotunheim
joined Kurse and his invasion of
Midgard. When Malekith ascended on
Asgard's throne while the Aesir were
on Earth as the Lost Gods unaware of
their identities, he was opposed on
Jotunheim by Skadi who led the Frost
Giants, who had allied with the
Dwarves. Skadi greeted welcome to X-
Force, who was fleeing from Malekith,
and gave them Aragorn whom she had
cared fort after Malekith's minions had
wounded it. The Well of Crimson
Waters, located in Jotunheim, was
said to be made up of the blood of all
Asgardians that had ever died in
Jotunheim. Balder had to dive to the
bottom of the Well in order to retrieve
the Chest of Strength for Thor. After
Balder's death and Odin's self-exile,
Thor and an army of Asgardians
invade Jotunheim to crush a Frost
Giant rebellion. Thor went to the Three
Norns and destroyed the Loom of the
Fates, thus cutting off Those Who Sit
118
Above in Shadow, seemingly
destroying them. This also destroyed
Yggdrasil and ended all lives who
dwelled in the Nine Worlds, except
Midgard. In time the realm was
restored, as were all the Nine Realms.
While investigating Heimdall's
Observatory, Iron Man was
transported to Jotunheim, with
malfunctioning armor and was taken
prisoner by a group of Rock Trolls. He
was taken to Fafnir and interrogated,
but was interrupted by a lighting stop
which frightened the Trolls believing it
to be Thor. Tony escaped while Fafnir
incinerated the Trolls for their failure.
Chasing Tony who was on horse back,
but he was rescued by Captain
America and the two traveled to
Vanaheim to find Thor. The Giants
battled the rebel Vanir and the Engels
hordes of Surtur who wished to
destroy all of the realms. The Jotuns
eventually "succumbed to the fire",
being incorporated into Surtur's forces.
Dr. Bruce Banner, working for
S.H.I.E.L.D., built a portal to Jotunheim
in search of Asgardian metal Uru. Due
to the unstable nature of the portal,
they ended up in the past. They were
greeted by a past version of Thor who
helped them as they were attacked by
Frost Giants. When the team tried to
escape back to Earth through the
portal, they were once again attacked
by the Giants who tried to squeeze
through the portal to Earth, forcing
them to close it and trapping the team
on Jotunheim. As the portal opened
again, the Giants returned as well.
S.H.I.E.L.D. fought back the invading
forces and, with the help of Thor, they
were returned home.
While tracking Malekith, the League of
Realms caught up with him in
Mountain Giants territory, where Dark
Elves refugees were hiding from their
former King's rampage. During the
battle, Malekith killed League member
Oggy (also a Mountain Giant
emissary), but retreated in Frost Giant
territory, making himself out of reach of
the League of Realms despite being
only a few feet away. Oggy was buried
and the League departed. Roxxon, led
by Dario Agger, traveled to Jotunheim
to retrieve the skull of Laufey. The
Thunderbolts were on a mission to kill
Doctor Strange, but were transported
to Jotunheim where they battled a
group of Frost Giants. Malekith the
Accursed traveled to Utgardhall to
meet with Skrymir the leader of the
Frost Giants. The two brokered a deal
between their two realms. He informed
the Frost Giant about a mortal from
Midgard recovering Laufeys Skull. He
sends a group of Frost Giants to assist
Malekith with Laufey's skull recovered
they began the magical process to
resurrect their king. Fang of the Shi'ar
Imperial Guard attacked the
Wolverines, defeating them. He took
Daken to Jotunheim to face a Frost
Giant as a part of a life lesson. Loki
traveled through Jotunheim with his
newly resurrected father to Bloodcycle
Canyon, the two arguing throughout
the journey. Laufey challenged his son
to travel through the canyon and
survive and he would support him
joining the Dark Council. Loki
completed the challenge using only his
words causing the Frost Giants to kill
themselves and each other. Loki was
consequently accepted into the Dark
Council.

Svartalfheim:
Known as "The Dark World",
Svartalfheim is one of the Nine Worlds,
and home of the Dark Elves. This is in
the middle region of the nine realms,
on the same level as Midgard and
Jotunheim.
Geography:
The geography and climate of the
realm has been shown to be heavily
wooded with Dark Elf towns, villages
and castles dotting across the green
rolling landscape. They have been
shown to live both above ground in
castles and underground in large
caverns. The Dark Elves have their
own portals that grants them access to
the other Nine Worlds including
Midgard. The Dark Elves, due to their
appearance, have often been treated
badly by the races of the Nine Realms
and are now generally more hostile to
outsiders. Various leaders have
embarked on schemes of conquest
several times.
Demographics:
The Dark Elves divides themselves
into tribes and clans. A few of those
are known, including the Snake Face
tribe, the Hag Wart clan and Malekith's
Black Bile Clan. It formerly included
the Dove Gut tribe who were all killed
by Malekith during the Svartalfheim
Massacre. While being the land of the
Dark Elves, Svartalfheim is also
populated by many Dwarves, and by
some Faeries.
Politics and Leadership:
Many such as Malekith the Accursed
has tried and failed to unite his people
and its various warring factions. The
current ruler is Queen Alflyse of the
Eastern Spires. She too had plans of
conquest, but generally cared more for
her people than Malekith and tried to
avoid the suffering he caused.
History:
For years and under the rule of his
majesty Kraw the Uncontrollable, King
of the Dark Elves, Svartalfheim knew
nothing but war, mainly with the Trolls.
In the nineteenth year of the Forty-
Third Troll War, the thirteenth son of a
thirteenth son, Malekith of the Black
Bile Clan, was sold by his mother to
become a corpse burner. He was then
captured by Trolls, and escaped along
with a wizard who taught him the ways
of magic for years. Meanwhile, war
against the Trolls gave way to war
against the Light Elves, then to border
skirmishes against the Dwarves and
terrorism against the Gods. Eventually,
Malekith became a talented wizard.
When his trainer asked his help to
bring peace to Realm, Malekith
murdered him (while being marked of
a half-black face), returned to his
mother, assumed the control of the
Wild Hunt and had her killed. At some
point, Malekith succeeded to Kraw.
Malekith struck an alliance with Loki on
behalf of the Fire Demon Surtur. As
Master of the Hounds of the Hunter,
Malekith hunted down Roger Willis,
Using Lorelei as bait, Malekith forced
Thor to battle Algrim the Strong, one of
his Dark Elf followers, then attempted
to destroy both combatants by
plunging them into a pool of magma on
Svartalfheim. He then captured the
Casket of Ancient Winters from Roger.
Malekith was ultimately defeated by
Thor, but not before he destroyed the
Casket of Ancient Winters, releasing
magical frigid force all over the
Midgard.
In Svartalfheim, Dark Elves were
blown back by a series of explosions.
Using the Mirror of Finvarra, they view
a figure on Earth forging enchanted
steel. Grendell and the Dark Elves
traveled to Midgard to stop this before
he can finish. The Dark Elves proved
too many for the weakened Thor, but
before the final blow can be struck,
Thor was saved by Loki who wished to
destroy his brother in his own time. In
Svartalfheim, Balder the Brave went to
find the home of Jagrfelm. In the
forest, he was captured by trees
apparently came to life. It is then that
Jagrfelm revealed himself. Balder
Managed to convince Jagrfelm to help
him to assist Odin and Asgard.
Jagrfelm returned home with his
reward in sack. Jagrfelm now wielded
the power of the Casket of Ancient
120
Winters. However, a group of Dark Elf
warriors attacked him killing him and
taking the Casket back to Malekith.
Malekith relished having the Cask of
Ancient Winters once more within his
grasp. Using its power, he called forth
Pentigaar, to go to Midgard and kill
Thor.
Disguising himself as Balder once
again, Malekith enlisted Hercules to
attack Alflyse, the Dark Elf Queen of
the Eastern Spires. His scheme
humorously unraveled, and he is easily
defeated by Zeus. Svartalfheim was
attacked by Thane and the World
Eaters, and defended by Tyr and
Balder. When the Congress of Worlds
was assembled, Svartalfheim was
represented by the Dwarf Slag.
Svartalfheim was later one of the
battlefields during the War of Burning,
with the Dwarves resisting to Surtur's
forces. Freed from his imprisonment in
Nastrond by Dark Elves loyal to him,
Malekith embarked in a hunt upon his
own people, wishing to restore their
might. Although being opposed by
Thor and the League of Realms, he
managed to kill Queen Alflyse and
ended up being appointed King of
Svartalfheim by the Council of the
Unhallowed, the Dark Elf tribal council,
the very Dark Elves he attempted to
slaughter.

Hel:
This region of Niffleheim where the
dead who are neither honored nor
dishonored.
Odin, ruler of the Asgardian gods,
decreed that Hela the daughter of Loki
would become goddess and ruler of
the spirits of the dead on the day of
her maturity; however, Odin himself
directly ruled the souls of Asgardians
and their human worshipers who died
in battle as heroes, and had the palace
of Valhalla built in a distant section of
Asgard to house them.
Hel is not at all a bad place, parts of it,
like Elysium, are an afterlife paradise
while other parts are seen as dark and
gloomy. Hel is not a place of
punishment, but simply a resting place
for the normal dead people. It may be
reached by taking a road known as the
Helway, which begins with a cave
called Gnipahellir.
Also associated with Hel is Nastrond,
on the far shores of Gjoll, which
translates as "corpse strand," and is
home to various giant serpents.

Notes:
Unlike the Christian purgatory, it is not
an abode of punishment, but simply a
resting place for the dead. Hela has no
control over Valhalla, the home of
fallen heroes.
Niffleheim ("Mist-Home"):
This is the realm of the dishonored
dead, a land of ice, mist, and cold.
Niffleheim, traditionally spelled
"Niflheim", is one of the Nine Worlds. It
is the far northern region of icy fogs
and mists, darkness and cold. It is
situated on the lowest level of the
universe. The realm of death, Hel is
part of this vast, cold region, as is
Nastrond, the Shore of Corpses across
the Gjoll, where the the serpent
Nidhogg eats corpses. Niffleheim lies
beneath the third root of Yggdrasil,
where the Nidhogg also gnaws on the
roots of Yggdrasil close to the spring
Hvergelmir.
Geography
Ginnungagap ("yawning abyss") was
the vast, primordial void that existed
prior to the creation of the manifest
universe. In the northern part of
Ginnungagap lay the intense cold of
Niffleheim, and to the southern part lay
the equally intense heat of
Muspelheim. The cosmogonic process
began when the effulgence of the two
met in the middle of Ginnungagap.
This created the Nine Realms.
In Niffleheim there was located the
eldest of the three wells, called
Hvergelmir, protected by the dragon
Nidhogg. Hvergelmir was the origin of
all beings and the place where every
being will return.
Elivagar ("unknown waves" or
"poisonous stream") were the twelve
streams, flowing out the Hvergelmir.
The Elivagar filled the emptiness of
Ginnungagap and froze in the regions
of Niffleheim.
Like the primal cow, Audumla, the
giant Ymir was created when the hot
fire of Muspelheim sprayed to the
Elivagar's glacier. The cow Audumla
licked the salty ice-blocks, until Buri
came forth from the blocks.
Regions
Hel is located in Niffleheim. The ruler
of Hel is Hela, daughter of Loki and
Angerboda, and its guardian is the
hell-hound Garm ("Howl"), who was
located in front of Gnipahellir, the
cavern entrance to the Helway leading
to Gjallerbru across the Gjoll.
Nastrond ("Corpse-Strand"), in the
land of the dead, is where stands
Eljudnir ("Plague"), the hall of Hel.
Midhogg

Politics and Leadership
Hela is supreme ruler of the realm

Muspelheim (Muspel):
Home of the Fire Demons, a realm of
eternal fire. Muspelheim is one of the
Nine Worlds, it's located in the lower
region of the World Tree on the same
level as Niffleheim and Svartalfheim. It
is a realm of eternal fire, and the home
of the Fire Demons and their ruler
Surtur. The surface is covered in pools
of lava and giant flame pits. The
Ginnungagap ("yawning abyss") was
the vast, primordial void that existed
prior to the creation of the manifest
universe. In the northern part of
Ginnungagap lay the intense cold of
Niffleheim, and to the southern part lay
the equally intense heat of
Muspelheim. The cosmogonic process
began when the effulgence of the two
met in the middle of Ginnungagap.
This created the Nine Realms.
Politics and Leadership:
Muspelheim is represented in the
Congress of Worlds by two Fire
Demons senators.
Odin learnt that the Rock Trolls have
joined the Surtur, Odin faced the Fire
Demon himself. But Odin with his
power draws meteors down unto
Surtur. Realizing he couldn’t defeat
Odin directly, Surtur attacks the
Midgard. Boring deep into the earth,
he releases a huge chunk of matter
into the sky which becomes Midgard's
moon. Using his powers, Odin traps
Surtur and his children in Muspelheim
unable to travel to another realm.
Open to earn freedom, Surtur presents
Odin with the gift of a flying horse, in
the hope that one day Odin will release
him. It was home to the Warlock's
Eye, a device of such awesome power
that Odin dispatched Thor, Volstagg,
Hogun and Fandral to retrieve it in an
attempt to ward off the coming of
Ragnarok. Korbin was a planet located
in the Burning Galaxy is attacked by a
horde of Fire Demons sent to their
world by Surtur when Muspelheim
starts to bleed into the Universe. The
Korbinites used advanced science to
turn their champion in to Beta Ray Bill.
But Muspelheim overwhelms their
world destroying it, but not before the
Korbinites escaped on the Skuttlebutt.
The Armies of Muspelheim prepared
for an invasion of Midgard. When
Malekith opened the Casket of Ancient
Winters it allowed Surtur and his army
to enter the realm of Midgard. With the
gate to Muspelheim open Thor battled
Surtur across time and space. An
attempt to stop a war for control of
Infinity Gems sends Doctor Strange
and his allies travel throughout the
Nine Worlds including Muspelheim to
find them. Hrinmeer the Flame lead an
army of Fire Demons from Muspelheim
to conquer the Nine Worlds. Serpent
went to Limbo and made a deal with
Surtur, promising to release him in
Asgard in exchange for a splinter of his
Twilight Sword. Loki used the Shadow
to rewrite the Serpent's history, giving
him a weakness. He then released
Surtur in the Serpent's Dark Asgard,
tricking him. After destroying Dark
Asgard, Surtur returned home to
Muspelheim.
Surtur made a deal with the unwitting
Manchester Gods of Otherworld, the
Flame Giant provided them with power
directly from the fires of Muspelheim in
exchange for a portion of their
resources. He then sent his Herald
(Leah) to the Vanir, convincing the
Steward of Vanaheim Freyja's sister
Gullveig to led an uprising against
Asgardia. When Surtur joined forces
with the enemies of Asgardia and
assaulted it and the other Realms, he
planned to use the different cities of
the Manchester Gods to form a
network across all of the Nine Realms,
and reverse the process in which the
Manchester Gods fed energy to
Surtur's original city, releasing all
stored energy back out, burning
everything in the Nine Realms. When
Loki traveled to Muspelheim to
investigate, he was confronted by
Surtur's right hand, the vengeful Leah.
Loki tricked her and convinced her that
he was working against the Nine
Realms. Together, they decided to
work against Surtur. First, in order to
gain the Fire Giant's trust, Loki
betrayed Thor and let him plunge in
the fires of Muspelheim. Loki then
proceeded to steal a portion of the
Twilight Sword and travel back in time
to fix the events that caused Leah to
feel vengeful towards him. Right after
Surtur ordered Leah to divert the spell
that would bring Loki back to the
present and transport him to his feet,
the effects of the time-travel made
effect, and the now appeased Leah
saved the young trickster from Surtur.
Thor soon brought the fight to Surtur,
using legions of Hel. While this army
fought Surtur, Loki traveled to
Otherworld and convinced the leader
of the Manchester Gods, Master
Wilson, to destroy the cities of the
Manchester Gods, thwarting Surtur's
plan. Using the Twilight Sword taken
by Loki and combining it with Mjolnir,
Thor was able to slay Surtur. The
residual energy from Surtur's body was
redirected by Odin into the empty
Asgard Space, preventing it to cause
any important damage. In Muspelheim,
Malkeith and a Frost Giant spoke with
the Fire Demons to create their own
Dark Council. to oppose the League of
Realms Sindr, Queen of Cinders
represents the Fire Demons on the
Dark Council.

Running Hercules:
Hercules is a thrill seeker. He enjoys
'slumming it' on Earth because it is a
relatively interesting place to be. He
gives in to filling his appetites for fun
and women. He is an unrepentant
Casanova who has trouble
understanding why women
occasionally resist him.
History:
Herakles was the son of Zeus, king of
the Olympian gods, and Alcmena of
Thebes in Ancient Greece. Zeus
seduced Alcmena in the guise of her
husband, Amphitryon who was away
at war battling the pirates of Taphos.
Due to his Olympian lineage, Hercules
was born with the potential for
extraordinary superhuman strength.
Zeus' wife Hera grew jealous of his
adultery, Alcmena tried to appease the
goddess by naming her child Heracles
"Glory of Hera". The child was at first
abandoned outside the city and when
123
Athena and Hera found it, Hera
decided to suckle the child, however,
his godly strength harmed her when he
bit down and she flung him away. He
was returned to the city and was
accepted by Amphitryon and his wife.
However, Hera then sent two serpents
to kill the child, but even at one years
old he had great strength and
strangled them both with his bare
hands. Amphitryon raised Hercules as
his own training in all forms of combat.
It was during a lesson with his music
teacher who criticized his lack of skill,
Hercules killed him with a single blow.
Hercules would go on many
adventures of his own.
In 1291 B.C., on the road to Thebes he
encountered a group of Minyan
warriors travelling to sack the city,
Hercules beat them all with ease. This
lead to war between Minya and Thebe
and Hercules was imprisoned for the
attack. It was then that he learned the
truth of his origin from his parents.
They gave him the garb bestowed on
them from Zeus. He met with the
leader of the Minyan, but when they
tried to execute him the axe shattered
on his neck.It was however during the
battle Amphitryon was killed. The king
thanked him for saving the city and
gave him the hand of his daughter
Princess Megara. In 1289 B.C., he
sailed with the Argonauts led by
Jason, among them Augeas. During
the adventure, he battled the Akaana
and faced the Hydra, saw the death of
Medusa, and defeated Antaeus. He
left the Argonauts when his companion
Hylas was taken by Nymphs on the
island of Mysia. Hera, Zeus's jealous
wife, could never forgive her husband
for having had Hercules as an illicit
son, so she sent Hercules into
insanity. One night Hercules goes mad
and unwittingly kills his family. When
he realized what he has done, he
almost killed himself, but Theseus
persuades him to go on living; that is
the heroic option. It was after that he
took the name "Hercules" to distance
himself from his step-mother. In 1267
B.C., but the twelve and final labor:
Capture and bring back Cerberus from
Hades, and rescuing Theseus.
Returning to Thebes, he was believed
dead and Euboean Lycus took
advantage of that absence to kill
Hercules' father-in-law King Creon and
condemn Megara and their three sons
to death. Enraged, Hercules killed
Lycus but his family as well. Hercules'
followers decided to accuse Hera, and
Hercules didn't corrected them, too
ashamed. He change from Herakles to
roman Hercules, in order to distance
himself from Hera.
Twelve Labors
1. Tame the Nemean Lion.
2. Slay the nine-headed Lernaean
Hydra.
3. Hunting the Ceryneian Hind or
Capture the Golden Hind of Artemis.
4. Capture the Erymanthian Boar.
5. Clean the Augean Stables in a
single day.
6. Slay the Stymphalian Birds.
7. Capture the Cretan Bull.
8. Steal the Man-Eating Mares of
Diomedes.
9. Obtain the girdle of Hippolyta Queen
of the Amazons.
10. Obtain the red cattle of the giant
Geryon.
11. Retrieve Hera's Golden Apples
from the Garden of the Hesperides.
12. Capture and bring back Cerberus
from Hades.
The same year, in Macedonia, Kyknos,
the son of Ares, decided to build a
temple to his father from the bones of
the travelers he met. Meeting with
Hercules, the two clashed, and as
Ares intervened to help his son, so did
Athena to support Hercules. Ares was
wounded and retreated, and Kyknos
was killed by Hercules, thus sparking
Ares' long-standing rivalry with the
Prince of Power. In 1264 B.C., having
refused to pay Apollo and Poseidon
after they built impenetrable walls
around his city, King Laomedon of
Troy asked Hercules to save her
daughter from the Monster of
Poseidon, promising him his herd of
magical horses which could run on
water in return. After Hercules was
denied his reward, he returned to Troy
berserk, wrecking havoc in the city
while claiming the horses, and killed
Laomedon and all of his sons, save for
one.
In 1260 B.C., in western Greece, he
battled the river god Achelous to win
Deianira as his third wife. During the
battle, Achelous transformed into a
serpent and then as a bull, but
Hercules managed to tear one of his
horns off, making him surrender.
Returning, the couple attempted to
cross the River Evenus. They asked
Nessus the centaur ferryman to take
them across. He however bolted with
Deianira, whereupon Hercules shot
him with an arrow dipped in Hydra's
blood. Feigning a wish to make
amends, the dying centaur tricked
Deianeira how to make a love charm
from his allegedly enchanted blood, in
fact tainted with the Hydra's blood, and
Deianira took the Centaur's blood-
soaked shirt. In 1246 B.C., Deianira
found Hercules in bed with another
woman and decided use the enhanced
blood to gain Hercules loyalty once
more. Unaware that it was now tainted
with the lethal poison of the Hydra,
Deianeira rubbed the Centaur's shirt
on Hercules. Rendered mad by the
poison, Hercules threw himself o the
funeral pyre built for him by his
nephew Iolaus. As his mortal body
burned his soul fell for three days into
the depth of Tartarus. However Zeus
took pity on him and split the immortal
part away from his body allowing the
"shade" to fall into the underworld.
Now a full god, Hercules took his place
as god of strength. In an attempt to
reconcile with Hera, he married Hebe.
However, like his father, Hercules was
a notorious ladies' man. This was
compounded with a curse of Hera's
that threatened any mortal woman with
whom he became too involved. Later,
Hercules led time-traveling soldiers
against Vikings, bringing him into
conflict with Thor.
In recent years, the Asgardian
Enchantress hoped to gain revenge on
her enemies, the Avengers. She
mesmerized Hercules and set him to
attack the team, but the Avenger
Hawkeye managed to free him from
his thrall and the Enchantress was
routed. However, Hercules was exiled
from Olympus by Zeus as punishment
for his unauthorized excursion to
Earth. The Avengers housed Hercules
as their guest for months, and he often
assisted them in their adventures. He
124
was eventually made an official
member of the team, but he returned
to Olympus with the Avengers to
rescue the other Olympians from the
vengeful Typhon. Afterward, Hercules
elected to remain on Olympus with
Zeus' blessing. Later, the Olympian
god Ares hoped to incite war among
Olympus and Asgard, and eventually
Earth. Ares turned all the Olympian
gods to crystal, and, as Hercules was
unaffected by being only half-god,
Ares' agents beat him severely and
abandoned him on Earth. Hercules
remained amnesiac for many weeks,
until he was discovered by Hawkeye
and returned to the Avengers. With the
Avengers' aid, the plot was uncovered
and Ares was stopped. Hercules and
his teammate, the Asgardian thunder-
god Thor, sealed the access to both
worlds.
Hercules continued to occasionally
interact with Earth, as was the case
with his helping found the short-lived
West Coast super-team called the
Champions of Los Angeles after they
had helped him and Venus thwart a
plot by Pluto to force him into marriage
with Hippolyta and invade Olympus.
While on this team, Hercules began a
relationship with his team leader, the
Black Widow. It did not last long, but
the two remained on good terms
afterward. He also kept in touch with
the Avengers, assisting them in
reserve capacity against menaces
such as Korvac the Enemy.
Eventually, Hercules rejoined the
Avengers on a full-time basis. When
the Avengers' mansion headquarters
was invaded by Baron Helmut Zemo's
Masters of Evil, Hercules, intoxicated,
ignored orders from The Wasp and
Captain America, attacking the
conquered mansion by himself. He
was beaten so severely by a
contingent of the Masters that he was
left near death, in a coma. The Wasp
and Ant-Man (Scott Lang) were only
barely able to repulse a Masters
assault by Absorbing Man and Titania
on his hospital room. Afterwards, Zeus
arranged for Hercules to be returned to
Olympus, and in revenge, ordered the
imprisonment of the Avengers in
Hades. The Avengers escaped to
confront Zeus directly, but they were
saved only by the intervention of
Hercules, who had made a recovery
and convinced his father the Avengers
were not to blame. Nevertheless, Zeus
ordered that Hercules remain in
Olympus forever. It was not long,
however, until Hercules disobeyed his
father, returning to Earth when the
Avengers required help against the
villainous High Evolutionary, who
misguidedly hoped to forcibly jumpstart
humankind's evolution. In the final
battle, Hercules was attached to a
machine that would "evolve" him to a
superior state than that of the
Evolutionary. Instead, the device
jumpstarted the Evolutionary's
physiology as well, evolving both to a
state beyond godhood, and the two
dissipated from Earth's plane.
In reality, the two were captured by the
enigmatic beings known as the
Celestials and held prisoner in the so-
called Black Galaxy. Thor and his
friend, Eric Masterson, discovered
their fate during an adventure at the
High Evolutionary's citadel,
Wundagore. Both Masterson and Thor
helped rescue the two, and Hercules,
Thor, and Masterson returned to Earth,
while the High Evolutionary turned
Wundagore into a spaceship and
returned to the Black Galaxy.Hercules,
Thor, and Masterson were then
viciously attacked by Mongoose using
weapons he had stolen from
Wundagore. Mongoose almost killed
Thor using a powerful energy beam.
Masterson took a killing blow for Thor,
giving Thor and Hercules a chance to
defeat Mongoose. Unfortunately,
Masterson was dying from his wounds,
which led Thor and Masterson to be
merged together. Hercules remained
on hand to help his friends, and he
would also return to the Avengers
shortly afterwards, becoming an active
reserve member during the U.N.
reorganization of the team. He soon
became a full member during an
absence of Thor. During Operation
Galactic Storm, Hercules was part of
Captain America's team bound for the
Kree Empire. At the conclusion of the
mission, he was part of the group that
followed Iron Man to execute the
Supreme Intelligence of the Kree, a
move against both Avengers policy
and Captain America's orders.
Hercules was soon confronted by
Zeus, and they had a falling out over
Hercules' apparent preference for the
mortal world. Punishing his son, Zeus
stripped him of his immortality and
much of his godly power, exiling him
once more. The traumatized Hercules
drew emotional support from the
Avengers, especially Deathcry, whom
he later aided in returning to her alien
Shi'ar homeworld. On returning to
Earth, though, Hercules discovered to
his horror that most of the Avengers
were missing and presumed dead after
their battle with the psychic menace of
Onslaught. A despairing Hercules
succumbed to alcoholism and was no
help in trying to hold together the
group, which soon disbanded.
Hercules began to wander in search of
new adventures, serving briefly with
the corporate super-team Heroes for
Hire. When the supposedly dead
Avengers returned from their
Onslaught disappearance, Hercules
joined many of the other Avengers in
reorganizing the team, though he has
opted to remain an inactive member
rather than rejoining the active roster.
Also during this time, Hercules sought
out one of those responsible for his
coma, the villain Goliath who had
become the hero Atlas. The resulting
battle was cut short by Hawkeye (then
posing as Dreadknight of the
Thunderbolts), who convinced
Hercules to stand down, at the cost of
the two's friendship. Hercules
continued to aid the Avengers on an
as-needed basis, such as helping
them against the villainous Exemplars
and when the time-traveling Kang
nearly conquered the world. He was
one of the Avengers present in
response to the Code White call when
the Scarlet Witch had her breakdown
that disassembled the Avengers.
Hercules considered Thor both a great
ally and a rival. They fought alongside
one another many times against many
foes and was angry that Thor's and
Asgard's disappearance were largely
forgotten in light of the Scarlet Witch's
insanity. To reaffirm himself, he
accepted a challenge of completing a
more modern Twelve Labors. When
the Superhuman Registration Act was
enacted, Hercules joined Captain
America's Secret Avengers, opposing
the Act and Iron Man's Pro-
Registration Superhero Unit. He
helped play a leadership role in the
anti-registration movement during the
resultant Civil War. His most significant
act during the final battle is using the
Thor clone's own hammer against
itself, declaring, "Thou art no Thor."

During the Hulk's attack on Earth,
Hercules and Archangel met with
Amadeus Cho, one of the Hulk's allies.
They agreed to help the Hulk, but,
upon encountering him, the Hulk
savagely charged them. Hercules was
forced to defend himself, and gained
the advantage against the Hulk, but
was beaten down after he stopped
fighting and defending himself against
the Hulk to prove that he was not there
to hurt him. Hercules' reason for aiding
the Hulk was simple. Both men,
despite all of their strength, had lost
their queen and family. Also, Hercules
wished to make up for an altercation
between the Hulk and the Champions
years earlier. He joined a team called
the "Renegades". The group was
comprised of Hercules, Amadeus Cho,
Angel, Namora, and the female
Scorpion. During the action, Herc and
Namora shared a kiss. When the
conflict ended, Hercules was the only
renegade to stay with Amadeus. In the
aftermath of the war, Hercules, against
Amadeus' wishes, agreed to turn
himself in. However, after learning that
he would be working under his brother
Ares, he escaped, taking Amadeus
with him. After finding brief shelter in a
refugee camp outside of New York,
Hercules spoke with Athena, who was
living in Vermont, to try and seek
shelter. However, after being shot by
Ares' "Hydra blood bullets", he was
driven into a psychotic rage, and
began seeing Amadeus Cho as Iolaus,
his nephew and ally from Ancient
Greek times. Cho decided to take
advantage of the situation by getting
Hercules to attack a S.H.I.E.L.D. base.
However both men were stopped by
the Black Widow, who knocked out
Cho and cured Hercules of his rage.
Out of respect for Hercules, Natasha
let Hercules knock her out and let him
reunite with Cho, who captured a
S.H.I.E.L.D mobile base and was
willing to destroy all of S.H.I.E.L.D.'s
governmental facilities. Hercules
avoided this disaster by asking Cho
what he would like to be remembered
for.
Upon meeting up with Athena, the trio
set out to San Fransisco to assemble a
team of gods from Earth (Snowbird,
Tecumotzin, Amatsu-Mikaboshi, and
Atum the God Eater) to battle and
defeat the Skrull Gods Kly'bn and
Sl'gur't. In route to Skrull space
through the dream realm, they battled
Nightmare and received his map of the
dream realm. Hercules and Narya
made love after she confessed to him
that she didn't want to be alone
anymore. Soon after, a Skrull who had
been with them since the end of World
War Hulk revealed itself and was
quickly dispatched. However, Hercules
and Snowbird together managed to
slay the head god of the Skrulls,
destroying the very inspiration for the
ongoing Secret Invasion war.
Meanwhile Mikaboshi managed to
overcome Sl´gur´t, and apparently
assumed the position of leader of the
Skrull pantheon, all according to
Athena's plan. While Hercules decided
to take a vacation with Namora after
the Secret Invasion, a group of
Amazons attacked and captured
Amadeus Cho, wanting him to find the
Omphalos and use it to become the
world's dominant force. Hercules,
Namora and Namor managed to save
the captured Poseidon, after a brief
conflict with Namor, and headed to
intercept the Amazons at the new axis
mundi, Washington, D.C. However, the
Amazon leader Artume succeeded in
reshaping the world into an Amazon-
dominated one, with Hercules as the
sole remaining rebel against her
regime. Meanwhile, Hera and Pluto
took over the Olympus Group, the
modern day seat of power for the
Olympians, via the inherited shares of
Zeus' and by buying out Poseidon, and
decided the company's new major
goal: the deaths of Athena and
Hercules. Hercules, Amadeus, Athena
and others managed to slay Artume
and restore all of reality. Hercules
discovered that Namora's fondest
desire was to love Namor, to his
shock. Namora was called away to
serve in the Agents of Atlas's first
mission during the Dark Reign, and
Hercules and Amadeus united after
Athena used what remained of the axis
mundi energies to undo the damage
inflicted.
In the aftermath of Secret Invasion, the
activities of the Elder God Chthon
created a series of freak events that
Cho dubbed the "Chaos Cascade",
and concluded the Avengers would be
necessary to deal with the events.
Hercules and Cho located Edwin
Jarvis, and then Henry Pym and
Jocasta. Loki in the guise of Wanda
Maximoff, arrived in an astral form to
greet them and supply the gathered
forces with an "army" to form the new
Mighty Avengers (later aided by Iron
Man), which Hercules chose to remain
with. Loki covertly used them to form
and widen cracks in Osborn's armor,
and which Norman Osborn sought to
crush. Chthon was banished through
their combined efforts with Pietro
Maximoff, with Hercules explaining to
the others that the death of the
Demogorge with the Skrullian gods
was the factor Chthon used to attack
the universe. After Hercules,
Amadeus, and Athena were attacked
by first Hera and her allies then by
Osborn's Avengers they went to Hades
were they took part in Zeus' trial. After
Zeus was found guilty, he drank from
the River Lethe and was transformed
into a child. After several adventures
where "Kid Zeus" learned the value of
others, Athena brought Hercules up to
speed on what had occurred during his
absence, informing him of Hera's plans
and telling him his wife, Hebe had
been cast out of New Olympus for
betraying Hera. Hercules gathered
allies to attack Hera's Earth-based
Olympus Group to prevent her from
releasing CONTINUUM and replacing
the current universe with one only
inhabited by her and her followers.
Before the heroes could decide or do
anything to thwart Hera's
machinations, Hercules decided to find
his absent wife Hebe. Find her he did;
kissing Peter Parker (Spider-Man).
After fighting Spider-Man and making
amends with Hebe, he and Hebe
returned to the heroes. He managed to
defeat Typhon, but was left trapped in
the alternate universe when Athena
destroyed the portal to prevent him
from interfering in Cho's destiny.
Athena became queen of Olympus
and appointed Amadeus Cho as head
of the Olympian earthly holdings. Cho
used his resources to try and find
Hercules and came into conflict with
Vali Halfling in a contest for a level of
godhood beyond that of any known
god: true omnipotence and
omniscience. Cho gained it, but
realizing he was not ready for such
power, retrieved Hercules from the
other dimension and imbued him with
the power. Hercules obtained the
power just as Mikaboshi was
beginning his attack on Earth. Initially
drunk on his new abilities, Hercules
attacked the Council of Godheads.
After calming down. Hercules made
126
several attempts to defeat Mikaboshi
including forming a new God Squad. A
serious of blunders allowed Mikaboshi
to learn the location of the Council of
Godheads and destroy their heavens,
growing stronger with each realm it
absorbed. Hercules' relentless strategy
of "Attack! Attack!" alienated Cho and
nearly everyone around him.
Eventually, it took his omniscience and
Gaea herself to convince Hercules to
try another path. After another power-
up from Gaea, Hercules was strong
enough to fight Mikaboshi head on, but
was still losing. A last ditch effort by
Amadeus Cho and Galactus opened
up a portal to Hera's bubble universe
and Hercules knocked Mikaboshi
through just as the latter was returning
everything to the primordial void.
Hera's bubble universe was reduced
while the main universe was spared.
Hercules burned out his omnipotence
restoring the multiverse to the way it
was before Mikaboshi destroyed it,
leaving him reduced to a mortal man
once again.
Hercules reappears in Brooklyn,
armed with a new array of Olympian
weapons stolen from Ares' armory.
They include the Sword of Peleus, the
Shield of Perseus, arrows that can
penetrate through anything, and the
Helm of Hades. He then gets a job
bartending at a Greek run bar in
Brooklyn. Hercules came across
Basilisk, Griffin, Man-Bull, and an
unidentified fourth character robbing a
bank. They had just escaped from the
Raft during the breakout caused by
Kuurth: Breaker of Stone. Hercules
soon discovered that the amnesiac
fourth person with them was actually
the witch-goddess Hecate. During the
fight, Hecate looked into the Shield of
Perseus and regained her memories of
taking over Brooklyn. She then teamed
up with Kyknos in order to take over
the city. The pair managed to turn
some people against Hercules due to
the chaos that the Serpent's Worthy
created. When Hercules used the
Shield of Perseus to turn some people
to stone, Basilisk and Man-Bull fled.
The Griffin reacted to the magic forces
at work, devolving into a savage beast.
He saved Hercules' life and became
his new steed, allowing him to fly
around the city. Hercules recovered
upon hearing the prayers of his
worshipers and found himself in the
Griffin's care, only to discover that
Brooklyn had been reshaped into a
nightmare landscape. Hercules and
the Griffin managed to find where
Basilisk and Man-Bull and recruited
their help.The villains approached
Hecate and Kyknos using a ruse
involving Hercules being turned to
stone. Hercules quickly revived and
saved the villains by killing Kyknos,
then prevented Ares' resurrection by
kicking over his alter. Hecate fled and
Brooklyn was returned to normal.
Herc was now in charge of the bar
after the owners fled back to Greece.
He befriended an elderly African man
named A. Nancy who loved stories.
One night Herc was bitten by a bed
bug that gave him spider-powers,
which he used to fight crime. The
Queen of Spider-Island revealed
herself to Herc and made him her
slave. She sent Spider-Herc against
the X-Men, who were in town after
fighting lizard people in the sewers.
They tried to reason with him, but he
attacked them with the Sword of
Peleus. Due to the mutagenic
properties of Spider-Man's powers,
Spider-Herc mutated into Herc-Spider
mid-battle. Shortly after, the X-Men
were trapped in a magic web, and the
Greek goddess Arachne appeared.
Instead of fighting, Arachne became
very attracted to Herc's new form and
they embraced, while the X-Men were
forced to watch. While Arachne was
preoccupied, A. Nancy broke into
Herc's home and stole Arachne's
mythical Woven Tapestry. He revealed
himself as the African spider god
Anansi, a collector of stories. Hercules
was later cured of his spider
transformation by Peter Parker, along
with everyone else infected. Hercules
was called upon to act as a guest
instructor at Avengers Academy when
most of the main faculty was
preoccupied with the events of
Avengers vs. X-Men. Tigra was
shocked by his nakedness while
demonstrating the Ancient Greek art of
wrestling and forced him to wear
clothing. The school was suddenly
visited by Captain America, who asked
that the facility be used to hold the
younger members of the X-Men until
the fighting was over. Kavita Rao and
Madison Jeffries urged their students
to comply with the Avengers, but many
were resentful of the confinement.
Hercules arranged an Olympic
competition between the two schools
in order to ease tensions and avoid an
actual fight from taking place. When
Sebastian Shaw (who was also being
held at the Academy) escaped he
defeated Hercules because Shaw was
able to absorb the magic energy from
his weapons. Shaw then told the X-
Men students to escape before fleeing
himself. Hercules urged Tigra to let the
kids join the fight if they wanted to,
believing they had no right to hold
them there against their will in the first
place. Some of the X-Men students
remained at Avengers Academy while
many joined the fighting, and Hercules
reflected that while the older
generation had only found war, at least
some of the kids were able to find
peace.
Hercules, isolated and shunned by the
hero community, attempted to regain
his reputation as a true hero and took
on the threats of the Uprising Storm, a
group of new gods consisting of
Catastrophobia: God of War,
Horrorscope, and Cryptomnesia: God
of Data as they plan to wipe out the old
gods. Hercules tried to get help from
his fellow superheroes to fight the
Uprising Storm, but they were too busy
fighting among themselves over how
to use the precognitive powers of
Ulysses Cain to listen. So, Hercules
assembled his own team that
consisted of demigods he called the
Gods of War. After weakening the
Uprising Storm with magic, the Gods
of War successfully vanquished the
Storm. In the aftermath of the second
Civil War, Hercules rejoined the
Avengers, where they foiled an
ambush by Kang the Conqueror.
Hercules became a member of the
Underground which was a resistance
movement against Hydra ever since
they took over the United States.
Hercules and Quicksilver led a strike
force to find the Cosmic Cube
fragments so that they could use it to
restore Captain America to normal.

the goddesses of Olympus and had
worshipers as far away as Phoenicia,
which according to some myths was
her favored city. On the day of her
maturity, Zeus feared that the gods
would fight over Venus' hand in
marriage because of her unparalleled
beauty, and thus he married her off to
the smith-god, her half-brother
Hephaestus. This union however was
much to Aphrodite's disapproval. As a
hedonistic goddess, Venus was most
displeased to be married to the lame,
sooty, hard-working Hephaestus.
Venus had affairs while wedded to
Hephaestus with both gods and
mortals. She cheated on him with
Ares, Dionysus, Hermes and
Poseidon. She bore children to all of
them except Hephaestus. She also
bore Aeneas, the ancestor of the
Romans, to the mortal Anchines. The
latter union was not truly of Aphrodite's
own choosing as Zeus forced her to
unite with Anchises as punishment for
using her powers to join the gods in
unions with mortals. The most famous
of Venus' relationships was to the
mortal Adonis, one of the most
attractive men in the lands, although
his life was cut short in the prime of his
youth. Even though Venus was
married to Hephaestus, her favorite
lover was Ares. To Ares, she bore
Harmonia and Eros (Cupid) who grew
to be his mother's herald as the god of
love. To Hermes, she bore
Hermaphroditus, to Poseidon she bore
Rhode and Herophile and to Dionysus
she bore Priapus - who had huge
genitals magically given to him by
Hera in disapproval for Aphrodite's
promiscuity. Eventually alerted about
his wife by the sun-god Helios,
Hephaestus caught Venus and Ares
together in one of their unions, and to
this day Venus and Hephaestus have
been estranged.
Venus was indirectly responsible for
the Trojan War that took place
centuries ago in Troy on the Dardanian
plain at the end of the Twelfth Century
BC. In a contest among herself, Hera
and Athena to decide who was the
most beautiful goddess of all, the
Trojan prince Paris was approached
by Hermes to play the role of arbitrator
for the three goddesses - each of
whom promised him a reward from
whomever he chose. Venus promised
him the most beautiful woman in all of
Greece who at the time was Helen, her
half-sister by Zeus. Helen was a
princess of Sparta and wife of King
Menelaus, heir to the throne of
Mycenae. Paris chose Venus, and
hence the love-goddess had her son
Eros entrance Helen causing her to fall
in love with Paris and subsequently
leave her husband, her daughter
Hermione, and her kingdom for Troy.
In response to Helen's abandonment,
Menelaus sought the help of his
brother, King Agamemnon of Sparta,
who rallied the Greek kings and armies
against Troy for control of the
Hellespont. Among the warriors
engaged in this war was Ajax the
Great, King Odysseus of Ithaca and
the nearly invulnerable demigod
warrior, Achilles, against the hero and
Trojan prince, Hector, defending the
Troy. Around 50 BC, Aphrodite
encountered and fell in love with
Narcissus, who rejected her love. She
cursed him to meet someone who
would not return his love and know
heartbreak and torture. Narcissus
found just that when he spied his
reflection in a pond and fell in love with
himself eventually turning into the
flower that was named after him.
By the 1940s, during an apparent
absence from Zeus, Aphrodite --
adopting her Roman named Venus –
(See her entry in the Silver Age
Book for more details.)
Venus became involved in a plot by
Pluto who convinced Zeus to marry
her to Ares while marrying Hercules to
Hippolyta, thus eliminating his two
130
greatest obstacles for an invasion of
Olympus. This plan led to the
formation of the Champions of Los
Angeles and together with Venus, they
defeated Pluto. Aphrodite wouldn't be
seen again until 2009. In this
appearance Aphrodite discovers the
Siren Venus has been impersonating
her much to her disapproval and
anger. With the help of Hera,
Aphrodite sends one of her centaurs to
kidnap Venus whom she views as an
impostor. Venus is bound and gagged
and brought back to Aphrodite's
temple where she is chained, branded
with a poker and put before a statue of
Aphrodite. Through the statue
Aphrodite expresses her outrage that
Venus has stolen her name and form
and reminisces on her status as
Goddess of love and the influence she
has had on the world, and what it
means to be a true God. The Agents of
Atlas, with the help of the X-Men, track
Venus using Cerebro and rescues her
from the temple. Following this
appearance, Aphrodite still angered by
the siren, Venus sends Phorcys,
Venus' creator to reclaim her but is
halted by the Agents of Atlas. After the
destruction of Olympus and the death
and rebirth of Zeus, Hera takes control
of the Olympus Group, a corporation
that handles the Olympians' Earthly
enterprises, and uses her power to
create a product that would bring
about mankind's extinction. In order to
stop her, Athena and Amadeus Cho
devise a plan which first involves
seeking Aphrodite's help. Aphrodite
agrees to stall Ares from defending the
Olympus Group by sleeping with him
and in turn Athena agreed to aid
Aphrodite in confronting Venus. While
The New Avengers, the Mighty
Avengers and Athena stage a frontal
assault on the Olympus Group, the
Agents of Atlas try to infiltrate the
corporation from underground. They
are stopped by Aphrodite who finally
confronts Venus. Aphrodite during the
ensuing battle, comes to the
realization that she hasn't felt love in
centuries, since the Trojan War.
Aphrodite then passes the title of
'goddess of love' and the girdle Cestus
to Venus so that the other Olympians
will recognize her as the official
Goddess of Love. After doing this,
Aphrodite states she feels free to
discover a new path that will bring her
joy once again and departs, teleporting
away.

Running Apollo:
Apollo is a vain god who prefers to
harp and wench to performing his
godly tasks, such as riding his sun
chariot. He is a charmer where women
are concerned, although the Olympian
goddesses are immune to his charms.
History:
Apollo is one of the race of Olympians
once worshiped as gods by the Greeks
and Romans. He is also the only one
to be worshiped by the same name by
the Greco-Romans. Born to the
Titaness Leto, Apollo was the eldest of
the six Olympian sons of Zeus, and his
second child, after Artemis who,
birthed instants before, helped Leto
131
deliver Apollo shortly she gave birth to
her brother. As Zeus's jealous wife
Hera prohibited Leto from giving birth
on solid group by mystically compelling
all the interconnected lands to reject
her, she took refuge and had to deliver
the twins on the floating island of
Delos. To show her gratitude, Leto
would later secure Delos with four
pillars. The siblings soon discovered
their natural talent for archery and,
using arrows forged by Hephaestus,
slew the Earth-serpent Python that
Hera had sent to attack Leto.
Upon reaching adulthood, Apollo
impregnated Coronis, daughter of King
Phlegyas of the Lapiths, and she gave
birth to their son Asklepios, god of
medicine. Apollo was among the gods
who opposed Hercules and his
attempts to convince Zeus to wage
war against the Asgardians. He was a
witness when Zeus granted a portion
of his power to Thor to assist in
resurrecting the Asgardians that were
slain by the Celestials. Apollo helped
Thor and other storm-gods and light-
gods from other pantheons fight off
Demogorge the God-Eater. Apollo and
the other gods were consumed by
Demogorge, but were later saved by
Thor. At some point, the lust of Apollo
fall upon Cassandra, prophetic
daughter of King Priam of Troy. As she
refused his favors, he decreed that no
one would believe her prophecies. He
was presented at the (Zeus-decreed)
wedding of sea-goddess Thetis and
Peleus, greatest of the Achaean
warriors, which would cause the
events that would lead to the Trojan
War (orchestrated by Zeus to decimate
Earth's overcrowded population). His
son Asklepios and grandson Machaon
would join the Achaeans. At some
point, he asked Apollo and Poseidon
to build impenetrable walls around his
city, but refused to pay for their
services, enraging them. It is unknown
if Apollo participated in Poseidon's
retaliation in 1264 B.C.
After reaching Troy, the Achaeans
attacked the neighboring cities,
including Troy-allied Chryse where
Achilles enslaved Chryseïs, daughter
of Apollo's priest Chryses, who went to
Agamemnon. In the ninth year of the
war, Chryses caused Apollos' arrows
to rain death on the Achaeans,
causing Agamemnon to surrender her.
Wishing to avenge his friend Patroclus
and Antilochus, Achilles forced the
Trojans into the city, but Apollo
ordered him to back off from the gates.
As Achilles threatened him and
pursued the Trojans against his
command, Apollo went to Paris and
guided his arrow to Achilles' vulnerable
spot, eventually killing him. He later
guided as well Philoctetes, who killed
Paris using the Bow of Heracles.
Achaean seer Calchas later told
Odysseus that Cassandra's brother
Helenus would venture to a far temple
of Apollo, and thus threatened him,
learning what elements were to be
gathered for Troy to fall. Apollo later
witnessed the battle from Olympus,
such as Telephus' son Eurypylus clash
with Achilles' son Neoptolemus. When
the Achaeans finally entered the city,
Apollo's temple was surrounded by the
Argives' flames. Along with Poseidon,
Apollo was seemingly of the Gods who
made the journey back to Greece
difficult to some of the Achaean
warriors.
Apollo joined a number of the other
Olympian gods to the planet Venus
when they were under the brief rule of
the goddess Venus. In 1948, Venus
had returned to Earth and taken up a
job as a model and editor of Beauty
Magazine. When she returned to
Venus, searching for 10 of the most
beautiful women under her rule to use
in a magazine spread to compete
against rival publication Lovely Lady
Magazine, Apollo helped Venus gather
the women she needed. Later, having
grown tired of Venus' frequent
absences from her kingdom, Apollo
travelled to Earth to see what took her
attention there. Taking on the guise of
Paul Belvedere, Apollo got a job at
Beauty Magazine to find out why
Venus was so interested in the lives of
mortals. Finding this task unworthy,
Apollo made it so that the sun
remained up 24 hours a day until
Venus agreed to return to her kingdom
with him. She agreed, and both
returned to the planet Venus. Once
there, however, Venus used her
restored powers to force Apollo to
remain on the planet, effectively
preventing any further meddling,
before returning to Earth.
Once more loyal to Venus, Apollo
assisted her in locating Hera, who
used the name Juno at the time.
Apollo next helped Venus in gathering
a number of male Olympians to pose
as mortal boyfriends in order to make
Venus' lover, Whitney Hammond,
jealous. Zeus soon returned, taking his
Roman name of Jupiter. He sought to
return Venus to Olympus, and agreed
to the following challenge: Venus had
a week to find two mortal lovers who
could not be tempted away from each
other. Venus found this couple in Meg
Saunders and her husband-to-be
Danny; Jupiter then enlisted Apollo
and Daphne to go to Earth and try to
split the couple apart. Both went to
Earth, posing as Hollywood actors,
and attempted to split the couple up.
When charm did not work, Apollo
made it appear as though Meg
murdered him, so that when she was
arrested, Daphne could move in and
seduce Danny. This plan ultimately
failed. Later, when Asgardian trickster
Loki came to Earth to force Venus into
marrying him, Apollo lent his power to
assist her in beating him, but to no
avail. It was not until she readily
sacrificed herself to Loki that Jupiter
stepped in and rescued her.
In 1950, Apollo once more sought to
claim the heart of Venus, but his
petitions to Jupiter to allow him to
return to Earth were denied.
Undeterred, Apollo travelled to Hades
and made a deal with a demon named
Zoroba to have the demon possess his
body while Apollo's spirit travelled to
Earth. Unbeknownsr to Apollo, Zoroba
used his position to convince Jupiter to
free Loki from his exile in Hades and
allow him to reside at Olympus. Apollo
found his spirit form unable to interact
with Venus, and so he possessed the
body of Beauty Magazine artist Marvin
Klee. This time, Venus could not find
herself able to resist Apollo's
advances; however, she eventually
learned what Zoroba was doing, and
when she informed Apollo, he
attempted to return to his body, but
found he could not do so while Zoroba
possessed it. Venus then tricked
Zoroba into coming to Earth, freeing
Apollo's body and allowing his spirit to
return to it. This thwarted Loki's
attempts to get free from his exile, and
Apollo was punished by Jupiter for his
actions. Apollo later redeemed himself
when defending Olympus from
invasion by monsters that were literally
spawned from the mind of mad
scientist Professor Buffanoff. However,
the creatures were too powerful, and
132
could not be stopped until Venus
tricked them into returning to the dying
brain of their creator, where they
perished at last. In 1951, when Apollo
learned that Venus was trapped in
Cassarobia, he became worried:
Olympians' powers were prohibited in
the area by Loki. However, Loki was
convinced to lift his spell, and Venus
managed to overthrow the sultan of
Cassarobia.
When Hercules was gravely wounded
fighting the Masters of Evil, Zeus
blamed the Avengers for his condition,
while the Avengers accused Zeus of
the injuries and asked Apollo for his
help against Zeus. Zeus learned
quickly of this betrayal and struck
down Apollo and other Olympians who
had joined the Avengers. Both saw the
errors of their ways, and Zeus had all
the gods sent to Olympus save for
Apollo, who was held back to heal
Captain America's broken legs and Dr.
Druid's head. When Hera and Hades
summoned the other Olympians
together and revealed their plans to
eliminate Hercules and Athena, Apollo
was the most vocal against it. Apollo
later appeared at Hercules' funeral
with Athena, Poseidon, Hades, and

Running Ares:
Ares is the War God in every sense of
the word. He will gladly enter into
personal combat with any divine
forces. On Earth, he prefers to work
through his worshippers scattered
among Earth's armed forces. However,
he will come to Earth to battle other
gods or similar beings. He will
begrudgingly listen to Zeus, his father,
or Venus, his half-sister and would-be
wife.
History:
The son of Zeus and Hera, Ares was
worshiped as the god of war in ancient
Greece and Rome. Ares'
dissatisfaction with Zeus' rule of
Olympus began after Zeus' decree that
worship of the Olympians should be
allowed to die out. On three times he
attempted to conquer Olympus, twice
in league with his uncle Hades, god of
the Olympian underworld, but each
time he was thwarted through the
efforts of his half-brother, Hercules,
and Hercules' allies. Ares hated
Hercules ever since he had killed Ares'
monstrous Stymphalian birds in the
days of ancient Greece.
During the Trojan War, he was one of
gods to observe the event. Despite
Zeus forbidding the Gods from
interference, Ares acted on a few
occasions: At some point, he stood by
Achilles, mightiest of the Argives,
during the war. In the ninth year of the
conflict, after Aphrodite was wounded
by Argive Diomedes while trying to
protect her son Aeneas, she rushed to
Ares who was watching the battle from
a nearby hill. Ares entered the fight on
the Trojan side, confronting Diomedes.
Athena (supporting the Argives) guide
Diomedes, whose blade pierced Ares,
forcing him to flee back to Olympus.
The same year, when Achilles slew his
daughter, the Amazon Penthesilea,
Ares enraged, wishing to slay him turn,
but remain in Olympus, remembering
that Zeus himself has lost many sons
in wars and that he had forbidden
Olympian interference in the war.
During the tenth and last year of
conflict, after Achilles' son
Neoptolemus slew Eurypylus and
stated that no mortal could prevail over
his father's spear, Ares decided to go
help the Trojans. He was immediately
confronted to Athena, but their clash
was prevented by Zeus' thunder, and
Ares abandoned any concern he had
for the Trojans. Ares fought the French
during the Battle of Agincourt.
Like many Olympians, Ares accepted
the rule of Aphrodite during an
apparent leave of absence from Zeus.
Olympus was relocated to the planet
Venus and most of the Olympians
adopted their Roman names. Ares
took up the name Mars during the
time. In 1949, Mars was among the
various Olympians gathered by
Aphrodite (now calling herself Venus)
as potential subjects to make her
mortal lover Whitney Hammond
jealous. In the end Samson was
chosen over the others. In 1951, Mars
was summoned by Jupiter to assist
133
Venus along with the Asgardian
thunder god Thor to assist Venus in
defending New York City from the
insane inventor John Dark and his
mechanized army. Mars attempted to
appeal to the pride Dark felt when he
previously served in the United States
Army, but this did not succeed and
Thor was forced to slay Dark. After this
Ares resumed using his Grecian name
and withdrew from interacting with the
mortal world once again.
In recent years, Ares tried to set two of
Earth's nations at war with each other.
The conflict threatened to spread over
all of the Earth, until Ares was forced
to put an end to it by his half-sister
Venus, whom he has long sought in
marriage, and the hero known as the
Sub-Mariner. Venus and the Sub-
Mariner extracted a pledge from Ares
not to engage in further warmongering
on Earth. This did not stop Ares from
joining with Hera in order to torment
Hercules personally, when Ares briefly
possessed the mortal Thunder God
Eric Masterson to battle his half-
brother. Ares tired of his own
warmongering when he realized that
was why the other gods despised him
and decided to live a normal life. He
gave up his position as god of war, but
maintained his skills, weaponry, and
immortality. On Earth, he set himself
up as a builder/carpenter. He would
later father a son with an unidentified
mother. Ares was later forced to help
his fellow Olympians when his son
Alexander was captured by Mikaboshi.
With the help of Zeus, Alexander was
freed, and the Kami assisted the
Olympians against Mikaboshi. Still
insistent that his son have a mortal
upbringing, Ares returned to his life as
a construction worker in Dover, New
Jersey where he worked during the
enactment of the Superhuman
Registration Act. Immediately following
the super hero Civil War over its
legislation, Iron Man and Ms. Marvel
traveled to Ares' construction site to
recruit him for their new Avengers
team. Agreeing that the heroes had
ruined his civilian cover, Ares
eventually agreed to join the team after
Iron Man threatened to deport him to
Olympus if he did not register with the
U.S. government and promised a
salary similar to that of his construction
job.
He immediately proved himself by
playing a big role against an Ultron
infected Iron Man, assisting against a
symbiote mutated city, arresting
Doctor Doom, and taking part in the
battle against the Hulk and his
Warbound. Ares was in charge of
punishing his half-brother Hercules for
aiding the Hulk.[15] He however, failed
to contain and recapture Hercules after
he escaped and even lost to him in
single combat. His final act in the
Mighty Avengers was aiding them
against an enormous Skrull invasion.
Although Ares was able to get along
with most of the Mighty Avengers, his
morals and tactics on saving the Earth
for the greater good differed. After the
invasion, Ares remained a registered
superhuman and accepted a place in
Norman Osborn's Avengers alongside
Mighty Avengers teammate Sentry. He
did not understand his former team
leader Carol Danvers' (Ms. Marvel's)
reluctance to work for Osborn. He
viewed his new alliance with the ex-
villain simply as continuing the fight
that the original Mighty Avengers had
started on terrorist-level superhuman,
and natural threats against America
and even the entire planet. Misled into
believing Asgard's presence on Earth
and Thor's exile from that same
kingdom were a part of an evil plot
begun by Loki (who he was also led to
believe was leading the Asgardians),
Ares was charged with leading the
assault on Asgard. While many of his
Dark Avengers teammates and
members of the Hood's forces posing
as Initiative teams took on Thor, Ares
found himself in battle with Balder.
Though he believed Balder to be under
Loki's influence, the arrival of an
injured Heimdall and the truth he
shared, led Ares to realize his mistake.
Enraged at having been manipulated,
he confronted Iron Patriot and vowed
to rip his head off. Before he could
launch his attack, however, Iron Patriot
signaled for the Sentry. Newly
possessed of a need for more power,
he silently began his assault on Ares
and after several powerful blows he
grabbed Ares by both arms and ripped
him in half, killing him.
Ares was next sighted after Alex's
(Phobos) death on the fields of
Elysium. He asked his son if he did all
he could and then stood proudly with
him. Chaos King later brought Ares
back to life to fight him. Ares fought
well but was overtaken by the
unlimited power of the Chaos King and
later returned to Elysium. After
discovering the material known as
Isotope-8 in the Battlerealm, the
Collector waged in a tournament
against the Grandmaster, a game
known as the "Contest of Champions,"
in which both Elders used summoners
as consultants to bring players from
across the Multiverse and have them
fight for the Iso-Sphere. In order to
showcase the power of the Iso-8, the
Collector, on advice of his summoner
the Maestro, used it to bring into the
contest even people from the afterlife,
thus he pulled Ares from Elysium back
to the land of the living. After surviving
numerous battles, Ares returned to his
home reality when one of the
contestants, Outlaw, managed to seize
control of the Iso-Sphere from the
Maestro, who in turn had taken it from
the Collector earlier. Outlaw used the
power of the Iso-Sphere to return the
contestants to their homes. Ares
returned with Outlaw to England, and
together with the contestants native to
his universe, appeared interested in
the idea of forming a team.

Athena is the most brilliant of the
Olympians. Her knowledge makes her
their acknowledged expert on

Her calm, rational mind provides a

History:
Athena was the daughter of Zeus,
Ruler of the Olympian Gods, and his
first consort Metis, the goddess of
prudence and daughter of the Titan
sea-deities Oceanus and Tethys. After
defeating the earlier generation of
gods known as the Titans for the rule
of Olympus, Zeus chose to mate with
the Titaness Metis sometime prior to
making his elder sister, Hera, his
lawful wife and Queen of the gods.
Thus, Zeus' union with Metis resulted
in Athena being born near Lake
Tritonis in Libya. Tritonis was
controlled by her cousin, the god
Triton, a son of the sea-lord Poseidon.
After Athena's birth however, Zeus
was informed of a prophecy given by
his grandmother Gaea that Metis'
second child by Zeus would be a god
more powerful than his father and who
would replace him as ruler of the gods
as Zeus had done to his father Cronus
who likewise had replaced his father
Ouranos. Hence, Metis exiled herself
from Olympus to prevent the prophecy
from coming to pass. Raised by her
elder cousin Triton, Athena befriended
Pallas, his daughter who was similar in
age to her. Athena accidentally killed
Pallas during a bout of simulated
combat and thus annexed Pallas'
name to her own in memory of her
fallen cousin. To this day she is
sometimes called Pallas Athena. Of all
of Zeus's numerous offspring, Athena
has always had the king of the gods
favor above all others. This may be
due to the fact that Athena's personal
interests have always diverged from
those of the other gods. Whereas most
of the Olympian deities have focused
their lives on pursuing hedonism and
are usually controlled by their passions
and engage in petty bickering amongst
themselves, Athena's temperament
has usually been more humble in
comparison and has always striven to
pursue and act with knowledge and
wisdom. Athena was so favored by her
father that she was the only god-child
of Zeus allowed to wear the Aegis, the
magically-protective breastplate of
Zeus. The only other exception of
Zeus' offspring wearing the Aegis was
when his mortal demigod son Perseus,
by the human princess Danae, was
allowed to use it with Athena's blessing
when confronting the Gorgon called
Medusa.
Throughout the millenia Athena has
had many encounters with mortals in
the lands of Greece when the gods
were formally worshiped. Among these
incidents include her competition with
the mortal called Arachne. Arachne
was a vain woman who considered her
weaving ability greater than that of
Athena's. To resolve the matter, a
competition was declared between the
two where they would weave
tapestries. Arachne created a tapestry
that depicted events that happened in
the lives of the gods and Athena,
consumed with rage and jealousy at
Arachne's handiwork, tore Arachne's
tapestry apart causing the girl to flee
136
and subsequently commit suicide in
her grief. As penance for her actions,
Athena cast a spell over Arachne and
transformed her into a spider,
preserving her life and allowing her to
spin and weave via the natural abilities
of a spider until the day she died in her
new form. This was one of few
episodes of Athena losing her temper
and acting just as petty as the other
gods as she is usually a more even-
tempered goddess in relation to her
peers. Another encounter with a mortal
was when she made a sojourn from
Olympus to Earth and was spied upon
by Teresias while bathing. Unlike her
sister Artemis who once when spied
upon by the hunter Actaeon became
enraged and manipulated events
which led to his death, Athena instead
cast a spell on Teresias which blinded
him but to compensate for this
endowed him with the gift of
precognition. Athena also participated
in the Trojan War which occurred from
1194 B.C. to 1184 B.C., taking the side
of the Greek warriors against the
Trojans to avenge, at least in her mind,
an insult performed on her by the
Trojan prince Paris. Paris had deemed
Venus as the most beautiful goddess
of all after a contest was formed
among Venus, Athena and Hera to be
judged as "the most beautiful". During
the war, Athena fought against Ares,
and empowered Prince Argive so that
he could strike Ares a near-mortal
wound. Athena's encounters included
her dealings with both mortal and
demigod champions. Among these
included Perseus, her half-brother,
whom she aided in his mission
concerning Medusa; Jason whom she
aided in his quest for the magical
Golden Fleece and imparted to him a
magical talking oak as an oracular
guide attached to his ship, the Argo;
Cadmus whom she aided in slaying
the dragon of Ares; Odysseus
(Ulysses) whom she aided in returning
home to Ithaca from the Trojan War
and reclaiming his kingdom; and
Heracles (Hercules), another half-
brother of hers whom she aided during
the course of his legendary Twelve
Labors. All these heroes she aided in
their various quests fulfilling her role as
the goddess of warriors, guiding and
advising them in their adventures.
Athena was one of the most beloved
goddesses among the Grecian
peoples. So much so that the city
known as Athens was named for her
from its original name of Attica and
during the days of ancient Greece she
was the protector of its people. The
naming of the city in Athena's honor
took place after she won a contest
between her and her uncle, the sea-
god Poseidon to decide who would lay
claim to the city. Poseidon gave the
people a salty spring to curry their
favor but they ultimately chose Athena
over Poseidon when the goddess
provided an olive tree that was more
useful. Thus, she became the patron
goddess of Athens. Athena was also
worshiped under the Latin name of
Minerva during the days of ancient
Rome. Athena observed as Hercules
attempted to convince Zeus to wage
war on Asgard. Ares confided to her
that he hoped Hercules would be
successful. Athena stood alongside
Zeus as he forbade Pluto from working
on earth. Athena observed Pluto's
conflict with Zeus. Athena
accompanied Zeus to a meeting with
Odin, as he requested their aid in
opposing the Eternals. Athena
participated in the assault upon the
Eternals' home city, Olympia, and
fought her one-time impersonator
Thena. The battle with the Eternals
soon ended, and Athena withdrew with
the other Olympians. Athena observed
as Hephaestus attempted to lift Thor's
hammer, Mjolnir, but they were
interrupted by the arrival of the
Avengers at his workshop. Athena
fought with Thor, but their battle ended
when he saved her from a pool of
molten metal. Realizing that the
Avengers were not, as Zeus had
claimed, enemies of Olympus, Athena
convinced Hephaestus to hear them
out, and then accompanied them with
Hephaestus and Venus to visit
Hercules, in an attempt to heal him.
However, they were found at Hercules'
bedside by Zeus, who blasted all of
them with his lightning. Athena and the
other Olympians who had allied
themselves with the Avengers took a
while to recover, as Zeus' fury had
been even greater against them.
Athena was present as Zeus forbade
all Olympians from interfering with the
earth. Athena appeared to Trey
Rollins and revealed to him that she
was his patroness and had chosen him
to bear the breastplate Aegis as her
new champion, carrying on the
tradition of past heroes of ancient
Greece including Achilles, Jason, and
Odysseus.
Athena was presumably present with
the Olympian pantheon as they
convened a board meeting on Earth at
the Olympus Group, assuming the
appearances of mortal businessmen in
an attempt to maintain some
connection with humanity. Zeus had
gathered them to confront Hera for
manipulating Hercules into appearing
on a reality television show as part of
an attempt to gain revenge upon him,
but he wound up being jeered at by his
own family for his many infidelities.
They finally voted against interfering
with Hercules' labors. After a battle
with Pluto, Athena met with the other
gods of Olympus as they discussed
how distasteful Ares' brutality was to
them. Athena fought for Olympus as it
was invaded by Japanese demons led
by Mikaboshi, and looked to Ares for
strategy on the battlefield. Athena
joined the Olympians in their last battle
against Mikaboshi's forces. Aided by
benevolent Japanese gods of the east,
the Olympians prevailed, though at the
cost of Zeus' very life by Mikaboshi.
Athena's ingenuity, combined with the
height of her wisdom is fully realized
when she sends Hercules and
Amadeus upon their most dangerous
mission yet: to Hades, Olympian realm
of the deceased, to seek out and bring
back Zeus, the deity with whom she
was closest with, to counter the
sinister plots of Hera. This leads to

their sister, Nike, goddess of victory,
they became symbols of Zeus' power

Titan Typhon banished all the
Olympians to the Land of Shades, but
Hercules defeated Typhon and
restored the gods to Olympus. The
gods Kratos and Bia served as bailiffs,
holding Typhon while Zeus judged him
and then leading Typhon to Hades to
serve his eternal sentence.

Running Cronos:
Cronus is a ruthless leader, capable of
violence not only towards his family
members but those who follow him.
History:
Eons ago, the primordial Sky Father
Ouranus mated with the primordial
Earth mother Gaea producing a
number of powerful offspring: the
Titans, the Cyclopes and centimanes.
Ouranus feared his children would
usurp his power so he imprisoned the
centimanes and cyclopes in Tartarus,
the dark abyss of the underworld.
Gaea, disgusted with the treatment of
her children urged the Titans to
overthrow Ouranus. The youngest
Cronus agreed and led his brothers
into ambushing Ouranus in his sleep.
He then castrated him with a sickle
given to him by Gaea. A dying
Ouranus prophesized that one of
Cronus' own children when overthrow
him just as he had overthrown
Ouranus. Cronus then took his sister
Rhea as his wife and became the new
ruler of the Olympian dimension.
Cronus ruled over a period of time on
Earth remembered as a Golden Age.
Supposedly the men of this time period
need no law due to being naturally
virtuous and obeyed Cronus
unquestionably. However, Cronus
feared Ouranus' prophecy so he kept
the cyclopes and centimanes
imprisoned in Tartarus. Any child Rhea
bore him he either imprisoned in
Tartarus or by his own account ate and
imprisoned in his stomach to prevent
them from being a threat. Rhea hid the
youngest Zeus by tricking Cronus into
swallowing a stone. When Zeus grew
to adulthood he poisoned Cronus to
vomit up his siblings and led them in a
10-year war with the Titans known as
the Titanomachy. Zeus one the war by
freeing the cyclopes and centimanes
from Tartarus. With the strength of the
centimanes and new weapons/powers
granted by the cyclopes Zeus defeated
the Titans. He imprisioned all of them
including Cronus in Tartarus. He left
only the female Titans, Titans who did
not fight against him, and a few giants
free. Zeus then took his place as the
new Olympian skyfather.
Eons later, during a series of battles
when the mindless Hulk was sent to
Olympus weakened one of the seals
on Tartarus allowing Cronus to escape
and lead a small army of giants in an
attempt to take back Olympus. Cronus
and his giants were quickly defeated
by Hercules and Zeus' other offspring.
Cronus himself was driven back into
Tartarus and the breach sealed. Later,
when Pluto put Zeus on trial for being
an unworthy godhead Cronus was
called to testify. He explained how
Zeus rose to power through fraud,
poison, and patricide and that Zeus
138
deserved Cronus' punishment as much
as Cronus himself.

Olympian Gods.
Running Deimos and Phobos:
Deimos: As befits the son of Ares,
Deimos was an insidious,
manipulative, and cruel god. Like the
serpents which were his motif, Deimos
enjoyed worming his way into the
psyches of his targets, twisting their
minds into accord with his own. If
utilized, Deimos should be played with
a macabre sense of pleasure over his
manipulations. Deimos had a running
rivalry with Phobos; the two brothers
regularly bickered and fought, although
they generally set aside their feuding
when enemies arose. Still, a skillful
manipulator could always stoke the
fires of their rivalry in combat
sufficiently to escape or get in a
surprise blow.
Phobos: The most important thing in
Phobos' life is the approval of his
father and Phobos would act
independently of his brother, Deimos,
to obtain his father's praise. Whenever
Phobos did this, he rarely exercised
good judgment and would often
jeopardize the very mission with which
he was entrusted. To this extend,
Phobos should be played in a
moderately-haphazard manner should
the siblings be utilitzed together in an
adventure. Otherwise, Phobos is
generally a calculating and
surreptitious villain capabel of deceit,
tricker and extreme brutality.
History:
Deimos: The son of Ares, god of war
and Nox, goddess of the night (who
was posing as Aphrodite at the time),
Deimos was the god of dread and
terror, and he was the twin sibling to
Phobos. Viewed by Ares as spawn
rather his child, later Deimos and
Phobos were slain by the "Lion of
Olympus" Hercules and the Asgardian,
Thor. Nox revealed to Doctor Strange
that she allied herself with the seven
Fear Lords as a means to resurrect
her sons, Deimos and Phobos from
the netherworld. Her plan came into
fruition as she reconstructed her
children from an unknown dark-force
matter; however, their return was short
lived, due to the efforts of Strange and
his comrades. Frustrated as a result of
her failure, Nox stated that she would
be able to resurrect her children at
another time, although the resurrection
was never shown, Deimos was killed
once again during Mikaboshi's attack
on Olympus.
Phobos: The son of Ares, god of war
and Nox, goddess of the night (who
was posing as Aphrodite at the time),
Phobos was the god of fear, and he
was the twin sibling to Deimos.
Phobos and Deimos were slain by the
"Lion of Olympus" Hercules and the
Asgardian, Thor. Nox revealed to
Doctor Strange that she allied herself
with the seven Fear Lords as a means
to resurrect her sons, Phobos and
Deimos from the netherworld. Her plan
came into fruition as she reconstructed
her children from an unknown dark-
force matter; however, their return was
short lived, due to the efforts of
Strange and his comrades. Frustrated
as a result of her failure, Nox stated
that she would be able to resurrect her
children at another time. Ares formed a
temporary alliance with the Olympians
and led an assault on Mikaboshi's
netherworld realm of Yomi to rescue
his son. During the course of this war,
the resurrected Phobos and Deimos
were again slain in defense of
Olympus; Ares, who viewed them
more as spawn than as sons, did not
grieve their deaths.

Running Demeter:
Demeter held fast to her beliefs and
edicts as the goddess of the harvest,
agriculture and fertility. She is known
to be even tempered and kind to
mortals, however she does have a
mean streak when provoked by those
to dumb to realize they just upset a
goddess.
History:
The daughter of Cronus and Rhea,
according to legends, Demeter was
the second daughter of the Titan
deities Cronus and Rhea, and
consequently granddaughter to Gaea.
Fearing that he would be dethroned by
one of his offspring just as he had
overthrown his own father Ouranos,
Cronus had his own offspring (Pluto,
Neptune, Demeter, Vestla -or Hestia-
and Hera, save for her sixth child Zeus
who was hidden by Rhea in Crete).
Cronus swallowed his children them as
they emerged from Rhea's womb, and
that they remained alive inside him
until Zeus released them by poisoning
the cup of Cronus, forcing him to vomit
his siblings. Zeus along with Demeter,
Hera, Neptune, Pluto and Vestla
fought a war with the Titans which
ended with Zeus's victory, helped by
Gaea. They imprisoned most of the
Titans in Tartarus. Despite neither
Demeter nor her sister Vestla ever
deigned to rule, Zeus establishing all
his sibling and potential rivals to some
responsibility positions, with Demeter
watching over the land, Zeus made
himself as monarch of the Olympus
and the Olympian gods and could rule
a peaceful Olympus. Demeter
became the Goddess of Harvest,
Agriculture, and Fertility, and would
often visit mortals and teach them the
necessary skills of agriculture.
Since her older sister, Vestla, chose to
remain an eternal virgin, she was the
first goddess who caught the romantic
attentions of Zeus, Poseidon, and
Hades, especially since she was
beautiful in her own right, kind-hearted,
and an excellent cook. However,
Demeter turned down all their
proposals of marriage, for she
preferred to devote herself to her
duties as the Goddess of the Harvest
and Fertility. However, there came a
time where Zeus was determined to
court Demeter. Despite a shape-
shifting struggle between the two,
Zeus successfully seduced Demeter
after transforming into a serpent. They
enjoyed a relationship that resulted in
Demeter's first child: a very beautiful
daughter named Persephone. Though
the affair later ended, Demeter was
still happy, for she loved her daughter
dearly. Persephone grew up without
want, always by the side of her
mother, who shared some of her
power over the earth with her, and she
eventually became the Goddess of
Springtime and Flowers. In fact,
Demeter loved Persephone so dearly
that she viewed her as the light of her
life, and took to spending all of her
time with her.
While Demeter loved all of her children
dearly, Persephone remained her
favorite child of all, the one whom she
took to spending whatever free time
she had with. Due to her great beauty,
Persephone was often desired by
many gods, but Demeter would would
never allow it. The god Hades fell in
love with her and obtained permission
from Zeus to take her as a bride
without telling Demeter. In fact, Zeus is
reputed to have suggested abduction
to keep Demeter from knowing the
truth. Abducted while in the presence
of her friends the Sirens, Persephone
was taken against her will to Tartarus
where she pined for her mother and
refused to eat. Demeter mourned for
her daughter for ten days before
Hecate, looking to make trouble for
Hades, told her the truth. As a result of
this, a grief-stricken and wrathful
Demeter commanded the earth to
become barren and infertile until her
daughter was returned to her (this in
turn induced autumn, and then winter).
Upon seeing the starvation and
anguish of the mortals due to
Demeter's curse on the earth, Zeus
was forced to order Hades to return
Persephone to her mother.
Unfortunately, while in the underworld,
Persephone fasted by eating three
pomegranate seeds. As Zeus
arbitrated the case, Persephone was
required to spend parts of the year on
Olympus and Hades. Demeter also
punished the Sirens for not reporting
the abduction, by transforming them
into birds and imprisoned them on
Anthemoessa. Demeter was
seemingly imprisoned in Hades when
the Titan Typhon returned, and she
was seen celebrating along with the
other gods after they were freed by
Hercules. Persephone used to visit her
mother, during which such time Pluto
put schemes in order against the
Fantastic Four. She was later present
at the funeral of Hercules.

History:
Cupid is a member of the Olympian
gods worshipped by the Ancient
Greeks and Romans. He was born the
son of Ares, although for a long time
Hephaestus Aetnaeus, the smith-god
believed that he was his son and
Venus, the love-goddess called
Aphrodite. Raised predominantly by
his mother, he was groomed into being
his mother's ally in affairs of the heart,
especially in schemes that benefited
herself. He fired the arrow which
caused Helen of Troy to fall in love
with Venus' young ward, the Trojan
Prince Paris, but he did balk at forcing
the Phoenician princess Psyche to fall
in love with a mortal beyond her
dignity. Psyche's beauty had caused
mortal men to turn away from worship
of Venus, whose temples fell into ruin.
Venus sent Cupid to Earth to punish
her by making her fall in love with an
undeserving wretch. Scratching
himself on one of his own arrows, he
fell in love with Psyche himself and
spirited her off to live in secrecy with
her. Cupid was stripped of his
godhood for a while for disobeying
Aphrodite, but after Psyche proved her
worthiness by outsmarting Venus and
earning her right to be a goddess,
Cupid and Psyche lived happily for the
rest of her brief mortal life.
In recent years, Cupid encountered the
Avengers as they came to Venus for
assistance against Zeus, who blamed
them for Hercules' severe injuries at
the hands of Baron Helmut Zemo's
Masters of Evil. Cupid tried to keep
them away, but was tossed aside.
Shortly thereafter, Ares used the
Amulet of Amuk to control and
manipulate Venus to convinced Cupid
that the Avenger Mockingbird was the
141
reincarnation of his wife Psyche. Cupid
attempted to force Mockingbird to
remember him, and battled and
defeated the Avengers West Coast
when they opposed him. Eventually,
with the aid of Hercules, the Avengers
stopped Cupid, and convinced him of
the error of his ways. They traveled to
Mt. Olympus, where they stopped
Venus and Zeus from falling prey to
Ares' plot. Cupid gave Hawkeye one of
his magic arrows as a token of himself,
to the finest archer he had ever seen.
In order to prove to his mother that he
had not lost his matchmaking skills,
Cupid was charged with finding a
suitable mate for the time-traveling
warrior Mahkizmo. Under the watchful
eyes of his Uncle Dionysus, Cupid
tried to match the warrior with Jennifer
Walters, The She-Hulk, but Mahkizmo
interceded the arrow and abducted
Walters to the future. The Thing and
Wyatt Wingfoot followed and learned
that Mahkizmo was planning to kill off
the women of the Twentieth Century,
and stopped his plans. Cupid removed
the arrow after seeing how much
damage it had caused.

Talents:
Hebe is familiar with Olympian

an extensive Beanie Baby collection.
Contacts:
The Olympian gods, Zeus (her father),
Hera (her mother) and Hercules (her
husband).
Running Hebe:
Hebe is young, even for an ancient
Greek goddess. She is teenager-like in
her approach to most problems or
solution, however she doesn't act like
a petulent child. She is brave,
engaging in combat when needed, but
knows that it isn't her strong suit.
History:
The third child of Zeus and Hera (her
brothers are Ares and Hephaestus),
she is the Goddess of Youth and the
cup-bearer of the gods, responsible for
brewing ambrosia. She was married to
the newly-divine Hercules as a peace-
offering between Hercules and her
mother Hera, and for a time the two of
them had a happy relationship.
However, Hercules grew dissatisfied
with life on Olympus, and returned to
the mortal world in the late 20th
century in search of adventure. He
also began having affairs, which left
Hebe distraught, as Hera told her that
the failure of her marriage was her
fault.
In the modern era, following the
destruction of Olympus at the hands of
Amatsu-Mikaboshi, Hebe served her
mother Hera as a secretary at the
Olympus Group. She later arranges for
Norman Osborn and his Dark
Avengers to arrive on the site of a
battle between Hera and Hercules'
group, believing that her ultimate duty
was still to him. When Hera discovered
her betrayal, she blasted Hebe with
her thunderbolt, sending her hurtling
out of the Olympus Group tower to the
ground. Relatively unharmed, she fled
the scene in search of Hercules, but
could not find him. She is later
discovered by Aunt May living with a
group of homeless people in Central
Park, and is convinced to take her
followers to a shelter at which May
works. May quickly befriends Hebe,
whose ambrosia mixture makes the
shelter a huge success. May sets her
up on a blind date with her nephew
Peter Parker, which is interrupted by
an angry Hercules. Hebe tearfully
confronts him about why he
abandoned her, and Hercules admits
that it was never her that drove him
away, rather, his desire for adventure,
as he cannot be happy as a god away
from the world. Hebe says that she
loves him for that, and the two depart
on better terms, with Spider-Man, to
confront Hera's evil scheme. However,
Hebe's joy of reunion with her former
husband was quickly dashed away
when Hercules apparently sacrificed
himself to save Earth.
She subsequently becomes Amadeus
Cho's assistant when he takes over
the Olympus Group, and is ecstatic to
learn that Hercules was not found in
the Underworld. Hebe's ambrosia is
revealed to be one of the four
elements needed to ascend to the
power-level of the Skyfathers by Vali
Halfling. During the Chaos War
storyline, Hebe is one of the few
surviving deities after Amatsu-
Mikaboshi destroys the Council of
God-Heads. Hebe reunites with
Hercules in an island of Hawaii, and,
despite her protests for Hercules not to
agree for Gaea and Pele to re-make
him as a true All-Father, Hercules
nevertheless consents, and ascends to
the full power and prestige of
Skyfather.

Running Hecate:
Hecate wants revenge for the wrongs
against her. She revels in her powers
and abilities, using them to suit her
needs, punish her enemies and
torment those she wishes to lord over.
History:
Hecate was one of the Titans who
lived on Olympus and ruled the ancient
world before Zeus conquered it. As a
Titan, she predates Zeus and the
twelve Olympians, and she also
predates humanity like all Titans.
When Zeus conquered Olympus,
Hecate was one of the Titans he
spared. He allowed Hecate to keep her
title as Goddess of the Underworld.
However when Pluto instead chose to
take Persephone as his wife, Hecate
retaliated by becoming the greatest
sorcerer of Olympus and became the
Goddess of Magic, Witches and
Witchcraft. To further add insult,
Hecate started and mothered the line
of witches on Earth when she revealed
secrets of the dead and taught magic
to the very first Witches of the world.
She was the very first deity to give
magic to mortals, while gods like
Chthon and Agamotto did so later on,
after her. However she did this after
Zeus forbade the Gods from meddling
in human affairs after a run-in with the
Celestials. When Hecate was exiled
from Olympus by Zeus, he wiped her
memories and stripped her powers.
Hecate believed she was an
extradimensional female humanoid
scientist and explorer, who was merely
mistaken for the goddess Hecate when
she visited Earth thousands of years
ago. She allied with and later opposed
the Elementals while seeking the Ruby
Scarab. Imprisoned on the Raft and
suffering amnesia, Hecate escaped
alongside Man-Bull, Griffin, and
Basilisk. Journeying to Brooklyn with
them, she helped them attempt to rob
a bank, where they soon found
themselves opposed by Hercules.
While battling her allies, Hercules
briefly dropped the Shield of Perseus,
an object capable of turning anyone
who looked at it into stone. When
Hecate picked up the shield and stared
into it, she found her memories and
magic restored, and realized she was
in fact the true Olympian Goddess of
Magic, and she vowed to conquer
Brooklyn and kill Hercules, as an act of
revenge against Zeus for exiling her
from Olympus and wiping her memory
and powers.
Using the fear being spread worldwide
by the Serpent's forces, she joined
with Kyknos whom she demanded to
kill Hercules. Hecate used her
regained magic in an effort to remake
Brooklyn in their image by casting a
spell to warp all of Brooklyn into an
ancient Greek version of itself and
turning its inhabitants into monsters.
When Kyknos is killed by Hercules,
Hecate teleports away, causing
Brooklyn and its inhabitants to revert to
normal. Many years later, the Scarlet
Witch locates Hekate on the Greek
island of Santorini. There she has
taken up the guise of a cafe owner and
seems to be living a humble lifestyle.
Wanda explains that she has sought
the Goddess out and displays a deep
respect for her, explaining that she
looks to Hekate for guidance as the
Goddess of witches. She refers to
Hekate during this meeting as 'my
goddess' and 'mother'. Hekate goes on
to explain that she hasn't cast a spell
in years and admits that regardless,
she might choose one day to take over
the world again. After a brief
conversation between the two,
reminiscing on the other Olympian
Gods amongst other things, Hekate
agrees to help her. After helping the
Scarlet Witch stop a Minotaur in
Santorini, she was killed by the
Emerald Warlock to prevent Wanda
from cashing in on a debt owed to her
by the Goddess.

Running Hephaestus:
Hephaestus is an industrious god who
prefers to spend his time in his
workshop, surrounded by his
inventions, tools, and assistants.
Although he is married to Venus, he
prefers to have little to do with her. He
openly distrusts Mars, ever since he
caught him with Venus.
History:
Hephaestus was the son of the king
and queen of the Olympians; Zeus and
Hera. Hera threw him from Olympus
because he was crippled; he fell into
the ocean and was raised by Thetis. It
is on Earth where he became a master
craftsman. He was accepted back to
Olympus, and became the craftsman
of the gods, creating majestic armors,
shields and weapons. The first
encounter between Hephaestus and
some of the heroes of this world, in
addition to his brother Hercules, took
place during the war between the
Mount Olympus and Asgard, that
faced sprouts of both pantheons both,
before the watched letter of the
patriarchs. Hephaestus, like the rest of
the Olympic Gods, was involved in the
schemes of Typhon, that sent
Hephaestus and his companions to
limbo, as well as the conspiracies of
Ares, that turned crystal to all the
Olympian Gods. Hephaetus was a
witness as Zeus gave sufficient power
to Thor to revive Odin, and this revived
the other Asgardians. Later
Hephaestus would construct, at the
request of Hercules, a battle uniform,
after his original was destroyed during
a battle. Hephaestus battled the
Avengers on one occasion, when Zeus
blamed them for the injuries of their
teammate, Hercules.

Running Hera:
Hera resents her husband Zeus's
adultery. This makes her a bitter
goddess who occasionally tries either
to prevent Zeus from wandering or to
do away with his mistresses. For a
long time, she tried to kill Hercules, but
she later mellowed out and
begrudgingly accepted him.
History:
Hera is the youngest daughter of
Cronus and Rhea beings known as
Titans who once ruled Olympus. The
Titans were the offspring of the sky
god Ouranos and the primeval earth
goddess Gaea. Cronus overthrew his
father's rule by fatally wounding him.
The dying Ouranus prophesied that
Cronus would likewise be overthrown
by one of his own children. As a result,
upon the birth of each of his own
children, Cronus had the infant
imprisoned in Tartarus, the most
dismal section of the extra dimensional
underworld known as Hades. The
offspring he sent there were Hades,
Poseidon, Demeter, Hestia and Hera.
Appalled at the mistreatment of their
children, Cronus's wife Rhea
concealed her sixth pregnancy from
him and secretly gave birth to Zeus
and hid him on Crete. Zeus grew to
adulthood and then set about taking
revenge on Cronus. Zeus went down
into Tartarus and freed his siblings.
Hera and the others fought a ten year
war with the Titans which ended with
Zeus's victory. They imprisoned most
of the male Titans in Tartarus. Hera
married Zeus and along with
Poseidon, Demeter and Hestia,
together with Zeus's children Apollo,
Ares, Artemis, Athena, Hephaestus,
Hermes, and Venus, comprised the
membership of the high council of the
Olympian gods known as the
Pantheon. Hestia later resigned her
seat in the council in favor of Zeus's
son Dionysus. Zeus's brother Hades
was not a member of the Pantheon,
preferring to spend virtually all of his
time within Hades, which he ruled.
In 1919, she and Frigga, wife of Odin,
chieftain of the Asgardian Gods,
discovered Mark Cadmon living on the
streets of Chicago, Illinois and saw his
true untapped potential. They placed
him among a group of other young
adults who became known as the
Young Gods, and when the Fourth
Host of the Celestials occurred, Gaea
produced the Young Gods to the
Celestials as what the human race
could attain if allowed to exist. The
Celestials accepted the Young Gods
as prime examples of humanity and
departed Earth taking the Young Gods
with them. By the late 1940s, Hera --
assuming her Roman name of Juno--
had relocated with the other
Olympians to the planet Venus and
were briefly under the rule of Aphrodite
who took on her Roman name as well.
When Venus came to the aid of an
office girl named Lucy whose boyfriend
Frank Foster became obsessed with
Juno, Venus decided to let him meet
her face to face. The easily jealous
Juno proved to too much for Frank to
144
handle after the goddess got into a
fight with a waitress. Later, when Juno
crossed paths with Venus' lover
Whitney Hammond. With her romance
in jeopardy, Venus returned Juno back
to Olympus.
After Zeus' death at the hands of
Mikaboshi's, Hera inherited his
thunderbolt and position as ruler of the
Olympians, promising a new era to her
race. However, Hera abused both of
her powers as well as of her
subordinates, indirectly killing
Amadeus Cho's parents, making an
uneasy alliance with Norman Osborn,
bullying Poseidon into submission with
Pluto's help, expelling Apollo and
Artemis simply for not being her
children, and extending her hatred
over her own children like Ares,
Hephaestus and Hebe for even the
smallest disobedience. Ultimately, her
ambition grew to the point that she
tried to recreate the whole universe
with the Continuum, but while
resurrected as a child, Zeus convinced
her to give up such insanity.
Unfortunately, Typhon, temporarily
controlled by Hera's mystical powers
betrayed her, slaying both her and
Zeus while protected by the Aegis
breastplate,. Their souls where
promptly taken by Thanatos to the
underworld. Their souls would not rest
forever. Mikaboshi, now calling himself
the Chaos King, conquered the relative
spirit realms of the gods of earth and
enslaved all the souls, included Zeus
and Hera in Hades. Hercules
resurrected both of them under his
own power. When Hulk tried to force
Zeus to cure A-Bomb and Red She-
Hulk, Hera sensed his true noble
reasons and informed them to
everyone present. She mocked the
Hulk, but Zeus still refused to help,
claiming that such kind of altruism is
the "wrong religion." Zeus quickly beat
up the green Goliath into submission.
Hera witnessed Hercules freeing Hulk
of his torment, and, when she asked
Zeus why he allowed Hercules to do
such thing, Zeus replied that the Hulk
brought his own punishment upon
himself long ago.

Running Hermes:
Hermes is the messenger of the gods,
the one most mortals would be likely to
contact. He runs errands, retrieves
objects and mortals, and acts as
Olympian ambassador at large. His
wide travels and observations led to
his phenomenal medical knowledge,
which he shares with those in need.
History:
Hermes was the ancient Greek god of
trade, wealth, luck, fertility, animal
husbandry, sleep, language, thieves,
and travel. One of the cleverest and
most mischievous of the Olympian
gods, he was also their herald and
messenger. With origins as an
Arcadian fertility god, the ancient
Greeks believed he was the son of
Zeus and Maia. In mythology, Hermes
was also the father of the pastoral god
Pan and Eudoros, one of the leaders
of the Myrmidons. Noted for his impish
nature and constant search for
amusement, Hermes was one of the
more colorful gods in Greek
mythology. While a baby he stole his
half-brother Apollo’s sacred herd of
cattle, cleverly reversing their hooves
to make it difficult to follow their tracks.
Hermes therefore became associated
with thieves and he kept the stolen
herd in return for giving Apollo his lyre.
As messenger and herald, Hermes is
involved in many mythological stories.
Most celebrated was his killing of the
many-eyed monster Argos on the
orders of Zeus in order to free Io.
Hermes also freed Ares from his year-
long imprisonment in a cauldron by the
twin Giants Otus and Ephialtes. One of
his most famous regular roles was as
a leader of souls to the river Styx in the
underworld, where the boatman
Charon would take them to Hades.
Hermes is known as a trickster,
stealing at one time or another
Poseidon’s trident, Artemis’ arrows,
and Aphrodite’s girdle. He was also
credited with inventing fire, dice,
musical instruments, in particular, the
lyre (from a turtle shell), and the
alphabet. Famous for his diplomatic
skills, he was also regarded as the
patron of languages. Travelers
regarded him as their patron, and
stone pillars with a phallus symbol
were set up along road sides. In
addition, Hermes was regarded as
patron of the home and people often
built small marble stelai in front of their
doors in his honor. Hermes figures in
145
the Trojan War as told by Homer in the
Iliad. Although in one lengthy passage
he acts as counsellor and guide to the
Trojan King Priam in his attempt to
reclaim the body of his fallen son
Hektor, Hermes actually supports the
Achaeans in the Trojan War. The god
is most often described by Homer as
‘Hermes the guide, slayer of Argos’
and ‘Hermes the kindly’. Hermes gives
particular help to Odysseus, especially
on his long return voyage to Ithaca, for
example, giving him an antidote to the
spells of Circe. Another hero helped by
the god was Perseus, Hermes giving
him an unbreakable sword of
adamantine and guiding him to the
three Graeae who revealed the
location of Medusa. In ancient Greek
and Classical art, Hermes is shown
holding the kerykeion, wearing winged
sandals, a tunic, sometimes a winged
cap (petasos), and occasionally with a
lyre.
By the 1940s, Hermes accompanied
the Olympian gods under the
leadership of Aphrodite, then going by
Venus, as she relocated Olympus to
the planet named after her. Hermes
then known by the name of Mercury.
Zeus returned. Now calling himself
Jupiter summoned Mercury to collect
Venus from Earth after his daughter
Joya accused Venus of turning against
her godhood for the love of a mortal.
Hermes brought both Venus and her
lover Whitney Hammond to stand trial.
Venus won her right to return to Earth.
In 1950, Mercury was ordered by
Jupiter to assist Venus. Venus and
rocket scientist Randy Dover were
trapped on the moon. Later, Mercury
was ordered to bring Venus to the
scientist Michael Templar who created
a device that was pulled the Earth into
the sun. In 1951, Mercury learned that
Venus was prisoner of Sultan Khorok
of Cassarobia. There Olympians
couldn't use their powers, thanks to the
Asgardian Loki. However, Venus
managed to escape to Olympus. There
Mercury and Jupiter tried to persuade
her not to return Cassarobia. She
returned ecause she didn't want to
desert lovers there. Loki was
convinced to lift his spell and Venus
overthrew the sultan of Cassarobia.
With the arrival of the Fourth Host of
the Celestials, Hermes confronted
Makkari the Eternal, when Zeus and
Zuras disagreed on how to address
the Space Gods.

Running Joya:
Joya has middle child syndrome and
wanted to hurt Venus, no matter the

herself to save Olympus from Loki.
History:
Joya is a member of the Olympian
pantheon of gods and is the daughter
of Zeus. In 1949 she grew jealous of
the love goddess Venus being able to
find mortal love on Earth. She then
petitioned her father, claiming that
Venus had forsaken her godhood for
the love of a mortal. Zeus, weary of his
demanding daughter agreed to allow a
trial, and both Venus and her mortal
lover Whitney Hammond were brought
to Olympus. Meeting Hammond in
person, Joya found herself interested
in stealing him away from Venus and
pressured Zeus and a council of the
gods to allow her to return to Earth
with Hammond to undo the "damage".
However, the trial was abruptly ended
when Asgardian god Loki attempted to
invade Olympus. Seeing that she had
imperiled her home, Joya disguised
herself as Venus and offered to marry
Loki. Loki agreed and returned to
Hades where Zeus banished him.
Loki eventually saw through her ruse
as he has seen Venus since, Joya's
fate is unknown.

brother, Zelus, god of Emulation and
their sister, Nike, goddess of victory,
they became symbols of Zeus' power

Caucasus Mountains as punishment
for sharing fire with mortals. Kratos as
the Olympian god of force, he wields a

Mocking got Momus in serious trouble.
He judged either Hephaestus or
Prometheus for not making mankind
with a door in their chest to see their
thoughts, to prevent dishonesty. He
judged Athena for constructing a
house that could not be relocated to
avoid bad neighbors, and he judged
Poseidon for making a bull that was
unable to gore effectively due to horn
placement. He also criticized
Aphrodite, stating that she talked too
much and had creaky sandals. He
even mocked Zeus for being violent
and lusting towards so many women.
With all this mocking he was banned
from Mt. Olympus. He can also be
found elsewhere in myth in the works
of Lucian, and is implicated to have
played a role in Zeus's decision to start
the Trojan War, according to scholia
on the Iliad.

goddess. Posing as Aphrodite, she

and Deimos ("terror"). In the 1930s she
allied herself with the General in an
effort to gain power, leading him to the
Amulet of Achilles, and forcing him to
make human sacrifices to sustain his
own life, and occasionally enabling her
to enter the mortal realm by inhabiting
their corpses. Following the General's
sacrifice of the town of Dark Hollow,
West Virginia she was finally able to
fully appear on Earth, helping him
carry out their plans. Nox claimed
responsibility for introducing Psycho-
Man to the study of fear. She also

one...While Hercules has a way with

History:
Pan was the god of shepherds and
hunters, and of the meadows and
forests of the mountain wilds. His
unseen presence aroused panic in
those who traversed his realm. Pan
idled in the rugged countryside of
Arcadia, playing his panpipes and
chasing Nymphs. One of these, Pitys,
fled his advances and was
transformed into a mountain-pine, the
god's sacred tree. Another, Syrinx,
escaped but was turned into a clump
of reeds from which Pan crafted his
pipes. And a third, Echo, was cursed
to fade away for spurning the god,
leaving behind just a voice to repeat
his mountain cries. Pan was depicted
as a man with the horns, legs and tail
of a goat, a thick beard, snub nose and
pointed ears. He often appears in
scenes of the company of Dionysus.
In the classical age the Greeks
associated his name with the word pan
148
meaning "all". However its true origin
lay in an old Arcadian word for rustic.
Pan was closely identified with several
other rustic deities including Aristaios
(Aristaeus), the shepherd-god of
northern Greece who shared the god's
titles of Agreus (Hunter) and Nomios
(Shepherd), the pipe-playing Phrygian
satyr Marsyas who challenged Apollon
to a musical contest, and Aigipan
(Aegipan), the goat-fish god of the
constellation Capricorn. Sometimes
Pan was multiplied into a host of
Panes, or a triad of gods named
Agreus, Nomios, and Phorbas.

Running Persephone:
Persephone has long since accepted
her fate as the wife of Pluto, she hates
him for what was done and Zeus for
allowing it. She thwarts their plans as
often as possible
History:
The god Hades fell in love with her and
obtained permission from Zeus to take
her as a bride without telling Demeter.
In fact, Zeus is reputed to have
suggested abduction to keep Demeter
from knowing the truth. Abducted while
in the presence of her friends the
Sirens, Persephone was taken against
her will to Tartarus where she pined for
her mother and refused to eat.
Demeter mourned for her daughter for
ten days before Hecate, looking to
make trouble for Hades, told her the
truth. Unfortunately, while in the
underworld, Persephone fasted by
eating three pomegranate seeds. As
Zeus arbitrated the case, Persephone
was required to spend parts of the
year on Olympus and Hades. Demeter
also punished the Sirens by
transforming them into birds and
binding them to Anthemoessa as
punishment for not reporting the
abduction.
In later years, Persephone played an
active role in dissuading Hades' whims
against mortals as in allowing Queen
Alcestis of Pherae to return to her
husband. Aphrodite also gave her a
coffin with the spirit of Adonis in it to
hide for her, but she peeked inside and
fell in love with the youth. Zeus
arbitrated their feelings over him and
forced them to share him separately.
Years later, Peirithous, the king of the
Lapiths, and his good friend, Theseus,
King of Athens, both made pacts to
marry daughters of Zeus. Theseus
abducted the teenaged Helen (future
spoil of the Trojan War) and Peirithous
resolved to abduct Persephone.
Admiring the guts of the two, Hades
invited the two to sit down from their
journey into the underworld and they
became captured in chairs. Hercules
rescued Theseus on his last labor, but
Peirithous was forced to stay.

Alexander at this point in his life is
having the time of his life. This is
adventure and excitement unlike
anything he has ever dealt with, but
this point is fearless in his approach to
dealing with matters and hopes to one
day be reunited with his father.
History:
Alexander Aaron was the son of Ares,
the Olympian god of war, and a mortal
woman. Ares attempted to raise him in
a mortal life in a mortal world.
However, Amatsu-Mikaboshi
kidnapped Alex and trained him to be
an expert swordsman for an assault on
Olympus. Zeus and Ares both
managed to eliminate the
brainwashing, which in turn wiped
away his skills.
As a member of Nick Fury's Secret
Warriors he was given the code name
Phobos and was trained alongside
Jerry Sledge (Stonewall), J.T. James
(Hellfire), Yo Yo Rodriguez (Slingshot),
and Sebastian Druid (The Druid). One
of their first missions was to take out
the Dard'van, a religious sect of Skrulls
leading an invasion of Earth. Alex and
the team had a final showdown with
the Skrulls in Central Park. The heroes
won and the Skrulls were banished
from Earth. After the battle Alex and
the team struggled to deal with the
fallout of the invasion. Fury's Secret
Warriors were sent to an old
S.H.I.E.L.D. base in Texas to observe
activity there. They discovered Hydra
operatives there. In defiance of their
orders to observe only, Slingshot, The
Druid, and Stonewall engaged the
terrorists. After joining the team,
Phobos bonded with the others over
dinner and told them their futures.
Among the predictions he made were
Slingshot losing her arms, and the
death of Hellfire. Despite telling Hellfire
that he was going to die, they became
friends. When the Secret Warriors
arrived at S.H.I.E.L.D. base Red
Worm, they saw the Kraken, and a
revived Gorgon executing agents.
They attacked and even Phobos is
unable to use his powers against him,
but they are able to escape. J.T. Slade
went through Fury's stuff, but was
found by Phobos. Instead of stopping
him, he helped him. They both
manage to find were Fury keeps his
Life-Model Decoy. When J.T. and
Phobos were on monitor duty. Then
they intercept a message from Black
Widow, requesting immediate
extraction much to their joy. The team
are attacked by the Dark Avengers
and H.A.M.M.E.R. But working
together they are able to escape.
A story is told a conflict ages ago
between both Olympians and
Japanese gods. Zeus and Amatsu-
Mikaboshi both asked a blind
blacksmith to forge weapons for them.
Thus, the blacksmith forged the
swords Godkiller Sword and
Grasscutter Sword respectively for the
two gods. The latter was given to
Alexander, aka Phobos, which he used
to kill his father Ares. He managed to
get around the brainwashing
Mikaboshi inflicted on him and realized
what he had done. Eleven months
later in Burkina Faso, Ares and Alex
150
debate over the issues of war, good
and evil and honor. The scenes flash
through Ares' exploits with the Mighty
Avengers, before Phobos saw his
father with the Dark Avengers. Fury
met with Ares, asking for his help in
breaking into Avengers Tower. In
exchange, he promises the God of
War to bring his son for judgement
before the other gods. He does and
Ares brings his son to another plane of
existence, where he is given back his
samurai armor and Grasscutter,
stained with Ares' blood. Phobos is
told that he will be judged before
Balder the Brave, Hera and
Quetzalcoatl. He is eventually found
worthy of the title God of Fear because
he showed none.As the gods
celebrate; Ares tells Phobos that he is
not a god or demigod. To become a
true god, his son must die so that he
may one day be reborn. In Providence,
Fury Secret Base #21, the team
played cards. When both he and
Hellfire made unhappy comments
towards Quake for dismissing Druid,
she admitted that Fury didn't think he
was good enough. However, Stonewall
is completely opposed to this,
commenting about how seeing his
father reminding him of how damaged
and alone he's been. But because of
Fury, they all have a purpose and they
should be working as a family.
Everyone but Phobos votes for
bringing Druid back. Phobos explains
that he's a pragmatist and Fury
wouldn't care. Nonetheless, Quake
decides to do it anyway.
The team helped Fury and the other
heroes during the Siege of Asgard.
Phobos and the team are taken to
Heaven's Helll, a secret base in orbit.
There, Fury explained the plan for the
main team to hit Hydra, while the other
teams take on the last Leviathan
bases. Using Eden's portal they
traveled to Gehenna, where they
attempt to blow it up, but they were
expected. And worse, once the bomb
was armed. Baron von Strucker had
the team cornered but Fury's respond
with three bullets headed. With the
timer on their bomb near the end of its
countdown, the Secret Warriors are
forced to flee. Phobos was slain in
battle against the Gorgon and went to
Elysium. He was reunited with his
proud father in the afterlife. Due to his
godly nature he will, no doubt, return
some day.

Running Pluto:
Pluto is a stern, brooding god. He
actually enjoys his duties as lord of the
dead. He resents the Olympians' fall
from power and blames Zeus for it.
Pluto sees himself as the rebellious
151
savior of the Olympians and the
destroyer of later gods' religions and
realms. He holds special grudges
against Hercules for daring to chain
Cerberus and Thor for often opposing
his schemes.
History:
Hades was a member of the race of
the extra-dimensional Olympians, and
thus possessed super strength, speed,
endurance, and resistance to injury.
He maintained virtual omnipotence in
his realm of Hades. Hades was the
eldest son of Cronus, ruler of the
superhuman extra-dimensional race of
Titans, and his wife, the Titaness
Rhea. When Zeus usurped Cronus,
Pluto aided in the war by stealing
Cronus' principal weapons from his
palace while wearing a helmet of
invisibility. Zeus became ruler of the
pocket dimension called Olympus and
of the race of Olympian gods, and
confined the defeated Titan warriors to
Tartarus, the darkest section of Hades,
the Olympian underworld. He knew
that they needed a stern warder and
that the brooding Pluto was the only
one of his siblings who found life in the
underworld suitable to his
temperament. Therefore, Zeus
assigned ruler-ship of the entire
underworld to his elder brother. Pluto
was quite pleased with this new role
and rarely left the underworld over the
following centuries. The most infamous
exception was when Pluto carried off
Kore, the goddess of spring, to the
underworld, to force her to become his
wife. Kore's mother, the fertility
goddess Demeter, was outraged, and
refused to allow crops to grow in
ancient Greece until Kore was
returned. Eventually, a compromise
was reached, and Kore spent only a
portion of the year in Hades with her
husband. As queen of Hades, Kore
was known as Persephone. Since the
time of his appointment as ruler of
Hades, Pluto populated his realm with
the "shades" of mortals who had
worshiped the Olympian gods. When
the worship of Olympian gods died out,
giving way to Christianity, Zeus
forbade Pluto from collecting any more
"souls." Pluto obeyed the edict
resentfully, having become
accustomed to an ever-growing
number of subjects in his realm. The
bitter Pluto finally convinced himself
that Zeus had proved himself to be an
incompetent leader by allowing the
worship of the Olympians to come to
an end. Zeus, noting Pluto's
increasingly ominous rebelliousness,
warned him against attempting to
overthrow him and sentenced him to
remain monarch of Hades until Pluto
could find a willing replacement.
In recent years, during one of
Hercules' sojourns on Earth, Pluto
appeared on Earth in the guise of
Hayden P. Hellman (nicknamed "Mr.
Pluto"), a movie producer at California
Stardust Studios. Thus disguised,
Pluto had the naive Hercules sign a
contract that Hercules believed was for
appearing in a project film. But in fact,
it was an Olympian contract binding
Hercules to become Pluto's successor
as ruler of Hades. Having signed the
contract, Hercules was unable to battle
Pluto on his own behalf, but the
Asgardian god Thor fought against
Pluto's forces to free Hercules.
Shocked by the massive destruction
wrought in Hades by Thor, Pluto
realized that he loved his kingdom and
could not bear to forsake it. Pluto
therefore released Hercules from the
contract. But Pluto still wished to add
new conquests to his kingdom. He
traveled to an alternate future of Earth
in which nuclear radiation had
transformed many human beings into
inhuman-looking mutates. Pluto
brought an army of mutates back to his
own time to conquer Earth for him.
Pluto and his mutates were opposed
by Thor, his fellow Asgardians Balder
and Sif, and the United States armed
forces. Finally, Zeus himself
intervened, banishing both Pluto and
his mutates to Hades. Later, Odin,
monarch of the Asgardians, physically
died. But time had been magically
suspended about him so that his spirit
would not yet leave his body. Pluto
attempted to claim Odin's soul but was
opposed by Odin's son Thor and by
the Asgardian death goddess Hela.
Rather than allow Pluto to deprive her
of Odin's soul, Hela restored Odin to
life. Odin interrupted the battle
between Thor and Pluto, and Pluto
returned to Hades. Still later, Pluto and
his nephew Ares conspired to provoke
a battle between Thor and Hercules.
But Thor and Hercules learned of the
deception, and Thor managed to
defeat Pluto on Earth. Hildegarde met
with to Odin to find Krista, and sees
her in Pluto's underworld as a slave
and standing over her are Pluto and
Hercules. Thor and Hercules are
having an arm wrestling match to
determine who will face Pluto, when
Zeus interrupts and tells them to fight
together. They travel together to the
gates of Hades and are attacked by
Pluto's minions. They defeat the
minions, then go to visit Chaga, to
learn who it is that's against them. She
tells them that it's Pluto and Ares. They
fly to the gates of Hell and there meet
Ares, whose power has been
increased by Pluto. They manage to
defeat him and then they enter Hell.
Thor and Hercules enter Hades and
are attacked by demon-bats, and
snake women. They fight their way
past, only to find that Pluto has fled
with Krista. They go to Asgard, where
Odin reveals that Pluto has gone to
Manhattan. Thor and Hercules follow
him there. Thor defeats Pluto and
drives him away. He then discovers
that Krista is dying, and only Don
Blake can save her.
Sometime later, Pluto made alliances
with death gods of other dimensions,
and then demanded that Zeus
command Hercules and the goddess
Venus to marry Pluto's allies Ares and
Hippolyta. Zeus, fearing that Pluto
would otherwise lead the other death
gods in an attack on Olympus, at first
agreed. In fact, Pluto still intended to
conquer Olympus; Pluto believed that
Hercules and Venus were the only two
Olympians who could prevent his
taking over Olympus, but, according to
Zeus' law, once they were married to
Ares and Hippolyta, Hercules and
Venus would be unable to oppose
them in combat. But finally, Zeus
called Pluto's bluff, withdrew
commands for the marriages, and sent
Pluto back to Hades. This plot led to
the formation of the Champions of Los
Angeles. Pluto met with the death-
gods of other pantheons on yet
another occasion, when the primordial
Demogorge threatened all gods. Jane
Foster was taken captive of Pluto.
Pluto then revealed his allies Loki and
Ulik. Thor and Ulik battled, until Ulik
discovers that he was but the pawn of
Pluto and Loki. Enraged, Ulik attacked
them. After saving Pluto from Ulik, and
sending Ulik back to Asgard, Pluto
released Thor and Jane back to Earth,
with Jane's memory erased of her
ordeal and what happened earlier. The
Stranger transported Fantastic Four
and the Hulk to Hades where Pluto
152
had devised a device that fired hellish
energy into the heart of a black hole in
the hopes of destroying the universe
so that Pluto might rule over a
universe of eternal darkness. When
the Hulk attempted to attack straight
on, both the Thing and Stranger tried
to get the simple minded monster to
exercise restraint and form a strategy,
which leads to the Thing and the Hulk
coming to blows, and forcing the
Stranger to attack Pluto head on.
During the fight Pluto manages to over
power the Stranger, and unleashes a
horde of demons on the Thing and the
Hulk. Pluto then threatens to throw the
Stranger's body into the device
however the Hulk becomes furious and
uses his strength to destroy the device
itself, leaving the Thing to save the
Stranger while Pluto falls into the
device of his own making. Pluto's spirit
is fired up into the black hole where it
is seemingly destroyed, ending his
threat.
Pluto met with Hell-Lords in Hades.
They have decided to merge their
respective realms, thus increasing
their power, and to begin taking in new
souls. They performed a ritual creating
the nexus of the netherworlds.
Unfortunately, this also summoned the
Demogorge, who begins consuming
the Hell-Lords one by one. But Odin
and Thor arrived to defeat the
Demogorge releasing all its captives.
Namor is captured by Neptune and
brought to Hades. He escapes from
the clutches of Cerberus and with the
help of a mysterious stranger is led to
the Fortress Tartarus where he frees
the captive Avengers. They then free
Thor from Pluto's mercy and attempt to
leave Hades on the Pathway of Infinity.
Pluto destroys the bridge and the
Avengers prepare to make their stand.
The Avengers battle through Pluto and
his hordes on the Pathway of Infinity to
reach Olympus. They take a moment
to regroup and are joined by the
mysterious stranger and decide to
seek out the other gods. After a brief
battle, they convince Athena,
Hephaestus, and Venus to help them
talk to Zeus. Meanwhile, Artemis has
captured the Wasp and has brought
her to Zeus. The Avengers and their
allies approach Zeus who isn't in a
mood to listen. When the Asgardians
disappeared after Ragnarök, Zeus
feared for the continued existence of
the Olympians as well and decided
that they hide among humanity. Hades
became a clichéd Mafia crime lord,
even joking that he was still a lord of
the underworld! Hercules went to Pluto
for permission to enter the Underworld.
Hercules, Jimmy, Robert, and Gordon
all then head to the Underworld where
Charon ferries them across. To get
round Zeus' decree, Hades attempted
to conquer Earth with the help of
Lorelei. Hades transformed Lorelei into
a copy of the Valkyrie and drained her
of her power and memories. He then
used the absorbed power to take
control of the real Valkyrie to turn
Earth into a realm of the dead itself.
The Valkyrie's presence masked his
own influence and Zeus' decree still
allowed Hades to annex other realms
of the dead. Hades is eventually
stopped by the Defenders who brought
Lorelei along, thinking her to be their
teammate. The clash of the two
Valkyrie's releases Lorelei from the
spell and together they turned on Pluto
and ended his plan.
Hades and Hera created the Olympus
Group, which became the modern seat
of power for the Olympians. They
inherited Zeus' shares and bought out
Poseidon. The organization planned
the deaths of both Hercules and
Athena. Hercules and Amadeus Cho

Hercules out by offering him the soul
of his adoptive father, who told him to
to rescue the king of the gods. Hades
planned to take over the earth and
Olympus. Zeus was found guilty, and

would cause him to be reborn as a

the spirits and they turned on Hades.

him to the Continuum bubble universe.

Running Poseidon:
Neptune is the sole Olympian god with
a flourishing body of worshippers. He
acts as patron god of the Atlanteans
and of fishermen who, at the least,
offer him acknowledgement. Like his
brother Pluto, Neptune has staked out
a major realm where he prefers to
spend his time.
History:
Poseidon was the second born son of
the Titan deities Cronus and Rhea.
Poseidon sided with his brothers Zeus
and Hades in the war between the
Olympians and the Titans. He and his
brothers freed their elder siblings from
a prison in the dark Underworld. After
defeating their father, Zeus became
King of Olympus and all of the gods of
its pantheon, Hades was made King of
the Underworld, and Poseidon was
made King of the Seas.
Poseidon is the patron god of the
Atlantis and Atlanteans believe
Poseidon to be responsible for the
evolution of their water-breathing race,
Homo mermanus 10,000 years after
the Great Cataclysm. Over 2,000
years ago Atlanteans started
worshipping Set. Enraged, Poseidon
destroyed Set's cult and prevented him
from manifesting on Earth. Poseidon
later lived among the Atlanteans for a
time as their protector, and left a copy
of his trident with their ruler upon his
departure. At some point, he was
asked along with Apollo by Laomedon,
king of Troy, to build impenetrable
walls around his city, but refused to
pay for their services, enraging them.
Millenia before our time, Neptune
opposed and defeated the
supernatural being called Wild One,
imprisoning him under a submarine
structure in the middle of the Pacific
Ocean. Both Neptune and the Wild
One remember their confrontation and
their hatred for each other. Albeit
Neptune was confident that the Wild
One would never be unleashed again,
he nonetheless kept an eye on him. In
1264 B.C., the Monster of Poseidon
captured Laomedon's daughter, who
asked Hercules to save her daughter
from it, promising him his herd of
magical horses which could run on
water in return. After many centuries,
mortal worship of the Olympians
faded, Zeus and the other Olympians
gradually withdrew from Earth except
for Poseidon, who was still honored by
the Atlanteans and actively watched
over Atlantis and its people, unlike
many Olympians who have few or no
worshippers on Earth.
Poseidon made a few brief
appearances in the 20th Century, once
during World War II. He also surfaced
in the early 50s where he assisted the
love goddess Venus quell the Fish-
Men in the Pacific. He convinced the
Fish-Men to return to the ocean and
stop their attack on a cruise ship. In
modern times, Poseidon sent Namor
on a quest to reclaim his Trident in
order to regain the Atlantean throne.
Afterward Poseidon appeared to the
Atlanteans, and decreed Namor the
true ruler of Atlantis. Poseidon advised
Namor of the true destiny of Atlantis
and its people. Later, Neptune healed
a wounded Namor, and transformed a
drowning stallion into a giant seahorse.
Neptune later abducted Namor from
Atlantis to Hades at the behest of
Zeus, as Zeus blamed the Avengers
for Hercules's bad physical condition.
However, Neptune was then forbidden
to return to Earth by Zeus, despite his
objections due to Atlantean worship.
Most recently, he, along with the other
Olympians have dwelt on Earth once
more, following the death of Zeus. In a
weakened state, he was abducted by
Hippolyta and her Amazon warriors, at
the behest of Hera and Pluto, who
forced him to cede his shares of the
Olympus Group to them, facilitating
their takeover. The Amazon princess
Artume likewise forced from him the
location of the Omphalos. He was
rescued from Artume's clutches by
Hercules, Namor, and Namora.

Dionysus and Aphrodite, he was
extraordinarily endowed, ugly, satyr-

potency. Shunned by other gods, he
befriended a talking donkey, a gift from
Dionysus, until slaying it in an
argument over virility; Dionysus made
a constellation from the slain donkey.
Priapus attempted to ravish the nymph
Lotis, who protected herself by turning
into a Lotus flower. The Roman

Running Rhode:
Rhode was looking to avenge her
father's 'death'. She became vindictive
and hateful, striking out at Venus, only
to discover that she was wrong.
History:
Rhode was the daughter of Olympian
god Neptune. When Zeus withdrew all
the Olympians from Earth, it is
presumable that Rhode returned to
Olympus with her fellow gods. In the
1950s, Rhode came to believe that her
father was killed during the nuclear
bomb tests conducted by the United
States on Bikini and Eniwetok, and she
began crafting a plan to avenger her
father's death. To this end, she took to
calling herself Neptunia and developed
the mortal guise of Diana Seacrest.
She founded Seacrest Real Estate
Corporation and by 1951, she was
selling affordable seaside homes along
the Atlantic coast, particularly to retired
soldiers. When her development was
sold out, she summoned a massive
tidal wave to wipe it out, killing
everyone living there. The freak
occurrence prompted the Federal
Housing Association to investigate the
disaster and although they found no
wrong doing, they called Seacrest to
their offices in Washington D.C. There
Seacrest was informed that the FHA
did not want her to continue building
houses along the coast for the sake of
public safety and that they were pulling
all of her government grants. Furious
Seacrest refused to stop developing
the area, the move gained a lot of
press attention. The headlines
grabbed the attention of Beauty
Magazine owner Whitney Hammond
assigned Venus to investigate.
To this end, Venus purchased a home
in one of Seacrest's newest
developments. Shortly thereafter,
Neptunia called upon another storm to
wipe out the development that Venus
bought into. Seeing Neptunia in the
waves, Venus thought she was a
drowning woman and came to her
rescue just moments before a massive
tidal wave wiped out the development.
Realizing that the woman in the water
was Seacrest, Venus tried to capture
her, but Neptunia vanished in the
waves. Unaware of her godly heritage,
Venus assumed that she had
drowned. The next morning she was
shocked to find Seacrest alive and well
at her companies head office. When
Venus questioned her about her
involvement in the accident, Seacrest
ejected her from her offices.
Venus became suspicious of Seacrest
and convinced the company that
insured her developments to stop
paying out to her for the accidents and
then had the last of her developments
evacuated by the military. Neptunia
resurfaced once more and attempted
to wipe out the development anyway
and was confronted by Venus once
again. Both revealed to each other
their godly heritages and Venus

History:
Silenus is the old rustic god of wine-
making and drunkenness. He was the
foster-father of the god Dionysus who
was entrusted to his care by Hermes
after his birth from the thigh of Zeus.
The young god was raised by Seilenos
and nursed by the Nysiad nymphs in a
cave on Mount Nysa. Once, when
Dionysus was travelling through
Phrygia, Seilenos became lost and
was captured by King Midas. The king
treated him hospitably and as a reward
Dionysus granted him his golden
touch. Seilenos was the father or
grandfather of the tribes of Satyroi and
Nymphs. He was sometimes multiplied

Running Vesta:
Vesta is a semi-retired goddess. She
feels her time of greatest contribution
is over. However, she still maintains an
interest in Earthly domestic lifestyles.
History:
Vesta is the eldest daughter of the
Titan-gods Cronus and Rhea. Fearing
that he would be dethroned by one of
his offspring just as he had overthrown
his own father Ouranos, Cronus
imprisoned each of his own offspring in
Tartarus, the darkest section of Hades,
the Olympian underworld, as soon as
he or she was born. (Later legends
erroneously claimed that Cronus had
actually swallowed his children and
that they remained alive inside him
until Zeus released them). While
trapped in Tartarus, Vesta regarded
her younger siblings as her wards and
saw to their well-being. Appalled at
Cronus' treatment of their children, the
children’s mother Rhea gave birth to
Zeus without Cronus’s knowledge and
gave him to the primeval Earth
goddess Gaea to be raised in secret.
The adult Zeus freed his siblings and
led them in a successful revolt against
Cronus and the Titans. After Zeus
established himself as supreme
monarch of the Olympus and the
Olympian gods, Vesta became the
domestic engineer of Olympus. She
was assisted in her tasks by her
cousin, the Titan Prometheus.
Prometheus, however, had developed
great affection for the ancient Greeks
who worshiped the Olympians which
eventually led him to steal the fire of
the gods and give a portion of it to
mortal man. Vesta was aware of
Prometheus' actions but turned a blind
eye to them. Prometheus ended up
being punished by Zeus for his
conduct for several millennia before
eventually being rescued by the
demigod son of Zeus, Hercules. At one
point, Vesta was desired by both
Apollo and Neptune. In response to
this she swore a vow of chastity to
Zeus which he honored even today.
Vesta once was a member of the
ruling council of Olympian gods which
was comprised of Zeus, Hera,
Neptune, Demeter, and Vesta,
together with Zeus's children Apollo,
Ares, Artemis, Athena, Hephaestus,
Hermes, and Venus. She later
resigned her seat at the high table in
favor of Zeus' son, her nephew
Dionysus, who then became one of the
twelve great Olympian gods. It was
said she did so because she grew tired
of the gods' petty bickering during
council meetings. Her worship under
the name of Vesta carried over to the
ancient Romans after the survivors of
the fallen city of Troy traveled to the
lands of Italy. Under the name of
Vesta, she had numerous priestesses
called the Vestal Virgins who paid her
homage and tribute to her ancient vow
of chastity. Vesta was present when
the Asgardian Thor came to Olympus,
asking Zeus' help in reviving the
Asgardians slain in battle with the
Celestials. Vesta was possibly present
with the Olympian pantheon as they
convened a board meeting on Earth at
the Olympus Group, assuming the
appearances of mortal businessmen in
an attempt to maintain some
connection with humanity. Zeus had
gathered them to confront Hera for
manipulating Hercules into appearing
on a reality television show as part of
an attempt to gain revenge upon him,
but he wound up being jeered at by his
own family for his many infidelities.
They finally voted against interfering
with Hercules' labors.

Running Zeus:
What can you say? Zeus embodies all
the attributes of rulership: arrogance,
wisdom, authority, dignity, and so
forth. Zeus is not quick to anger, but
his wrath is the most terrible of all
Olympians once it is called forth.
History:
Zeus is the youngest son of Cronus
and Rhea beings known as Titans who
once ruled Olympus. The Titans were
the offspring of the sky god Ouranos
and the primeval earth goddess Gaea.
Cronus overthrew his father's rule by
fatally wounding him. The dying
Ouranus prophesied that Cronus
would likewise be overthrown by one
of his own children. As a result, upon
the birth of each of his own children,
Cronus had the infant imprisoned in
Tartarus, the most dismal section of
the extra dimensional underworld
known as Hades. The offspring he
sent there were Hades, Poseidon,
Hera, Demeter, and Hestia. Appalled
at the mistreatment of their children,
Cronus's wife Rhea concealed her
sixth pregnancy from him and secretly
gave birth to Zeus on Mount Lycaeum
in Arcadia, an area of the land now
known as Greece. Rhea gave the
infant Zeus to the safekeeping of Gaea
who hid him on the island of Crete.
Zeus grew to adulthood among the
shepherds of Mount Ida, Crete, and
then set about taking revenge on
Cronus. Zeus went down into Tartarus
and freed his siblings, who had all now
grown to adulthood, Zeus also freed
the three one-eyed giants called
Cyclopes and the three hundred-
handed giants called Hekatonchieres,
all six of whom Cronus had imprisoned
there for fear they would help
overthrow him. The grateful Cyclopes
taught Zeus how to wield his energy-
manipulating powers in battle. Zeus
and his allies fought a ten year war
with the Titans which ended with
Zeus's victory. He imprisoned most of
the male Titans in Tartarus and
established himself in the small
"pocket" dimension of Olympus as
supreme ruler of the Olympian race.
Zeus married the goddess Hera and
along with Poseidon, Demeter and
Hestia, together with Zeus's children
Apollo, Ares, Artemis, Athena,
Hephaestus, Hermes, and Venus,
comprised the membership of the high
council of the Olympian gods known
as the Pantheon. Hestia later resigned
her seat in the council in favor of
Zeus's son Dionysus. Zeus's brother
Hades was not a member of the
Pantheon, preferring to spend virtually
all of his time within Hades, which he
ruled.
In ancient times Zeus and his fellow
Olympians successfully defeated
challenges to their rule by the giants
Otis and Ephialtes, by a small army of
superhuman giants, and, most
dangerously, by the monster
Typhoeus, father of Typhon, the Titan
who has menaced the Olympians in
recent times. 50,000 B.C., the
inhabitants of Atlantis seemingly
worshiped Jupiter, yet it is unclear if it
was Zeus or another entity. It seems
unclear if the Olympian gods
themselves existed during the
Hyborian Age. For some reasons,
Alexander of Macedon and his armies
were briefly sent to the Hyborian Age,
10,000 years before their era,[9] and
the descendants of those who stayed
there invoked "Zoos", a god unknown
to Conan. After the end of the
Hyborian Age, the Olympian gods
sought worshipers on Earth. Neptune
became the patron god of the water-
breathing Atlanteans, worshiped as
early 5800 BCE. Zeus sought that the
Olympian gods be worshiped by the
people of the land known as Greece.
Zeus engaged in many love affairs
with goddesses and with mortal Earth
women both before and during the
Heroic Age of ancient Greece. Some
of his children were gods; others were
mortal human beings such as Helen of
Troy. Zeus's son by the mortal woman
Alcmena, Hercules, was born a mortal,
but Zeus transformed him into an
immortal god later. Zeus also learned
that Greece's Mount Olympus, the
location of the main inter-dimensional
nexus between the Olympian
dimension and Earth, lay near
Olympia, the principal city of the
Eternals. Zeus and his daughter
Athena, goddess of wisdom, held a
meeting with Zuras, the leader of the
Eternals, and his daughter Thena.
Noticing the strong physical
resemblance between Zeus and Zuras
and between Azura and herself,
Athena suggested that the Olympian
gods and the Eternals form an alliance
whereby the Eternals would act as the
gods' representatives on Earth. The
other three enthusiastically agreed,
and Azura took her current name of
Thena to signify the signing of the
pact. However, over the years many
ordinary human beings came to think
of many Eternals not as the gods'
representatives but as the gods
themselves. This led to a growing
resentment by the gods towards the
Eternals which recently erupted into a
brief war.
Worship of the Olympian gods spread
from Greece to Rome and throughout
the Roman Empire. The gods
intervened frequently in human
matters at first, as in the Trojan War,
but did so less as time passed. When
Christianity finally replaced the worship
of the Olympian gods in the Roman
Empire, Zeus decided that the time
had come for the Olympians to break
most of their ties with Earth. Neptune,
however, was still allowed to watch
over his Atlantean worshipers. Since
the worship of the Olympian gods had
died out, Zeus forbade his brother
Pluto, ruler of Hades, the Olympian
underworld, from collecting any more
of the souls of the dead from Earth.
Pluto obeyed the edict resentfully.
Finally, the bitter Pluto convinced
himself that Zeus had proven himself
to be an incompetent leader by
allowing the worship of the Olympians
to come to an end. Zeus, noting Pluto's
increasingly ominous rebelliousness,
warned him against attempting to
overthrow him. Nonetheless, Pluto has
attempted unsuccessfully to overthrow
Zeus, as has Zeus's own son, the war
god Ares. However, despite the end of
the worship of the Olympian gods,
Zeus has retained affection for and
interest in the people of Earth.
A millennium ago Zeus' son Hercules
led a band of warriors he had
transported through time from ancient
Greece to battle Norsemen who were
under the protection of the Asgardian
god Thor. This conflict led to war
between the Asgardians and
Olympians. Zeus secretly met with
Odin, ruler of the Asgardians, and the
two gods not only put an end to the
war, but also formed an alliance to
defend Earth from danger posed by
the alien Celestials. Odin and Zeus
met with the heads of the other races
of gods who were or had been
worshiped by Earth mortals to discuss
161
the Celestials' possible threat to Earth,
and then Odin, Zeus, and the Hindu
god Vishnu went to confront the Third
Host of the Celestials on behalf of all
of Earth's gods. However, Odin and
Zeus were forced to pledge not to
interfere with the Celestials when the
Celestials threatened to seal off the
interdimensional passageways
connecting the gods' dimensions with
Earth. As a result of this pledge, the
Olympian gods had to lessen their
contact with Earth, although Zeus's
offspring Hercules and Venus spent
periods living among Earth human
beings in recent years. The Celestials'
Fourth Host recently decided to spare
Earth from destruction and left the
planet.
For reasons unknown, Zeus had gone
on an extended leave of absence,
leaving Olympus under the command
of Aphrodite during a period in which
the Olympians began adopting their
Roman names. Eventually Aphrodite,
as Venus, relocated Olympus to the
planet named after her. She soon grew
bored and returned to Earth to find real
love. In 1949, Zeus (now calling
himself Jupiter) learned of this and
was furious. He appeared before
Venus and demanded that she return
to Olympus at once, but she refused
stating that she had work on Earth to
do by helping lovers stay together.
Jupiter then offered her a challenge
that she could not find the perfect
couple and keep them together in a
week. Venus did find this couple in
Meg Saunders and Danny Fine. In an
effort to make Venus lose, Jupiter sent
Apollo and Daphne to Earth in mortal
guises to try and break the couple up.
However, Venus saw through the
attempt and foiled it winning her right
to stay on Earth. Jupiter was more
benevolent to Venus' mission
thereafter, but regularly tested her right
to remain on Earth. Having previously
banished the Asgardian god Loki to
Hades, Jupiter was forced to let him
loose due to a loop hole in his
banishment by allowing Venus to
remain on Earth. Loki then set about
spreading hate across the Earth until
Venus promised to be his queen in
Hades. Jupiter then intervened telling
Venus that she passed her test and
banished Loki to Hades once more.
Next when Jupiter's daughter Joya
accused Venus of forsaking her
godhood for the love of mortal Whitney
Hammond, Jupiter wearily agreed to
have a trial to prove Joya's
accusations. Both Venus and Whitney
Hammond were brought to Olympus to
stand trial. However the trial abruptly
ended when Loki invaded Olympus.
Joya, seeing the errors of her was
disguised herself as Venus and offered
herself as a bride to Loki to stop the
invasion. Soon after, Hammond
proved his devoted love to Venus and
Jupiter returned the couple to Earth.
In 1950, Jupiter became more of a
help to Venus, often coming to her aid
whenever she summoned him. When
Venus was attempting to reunite long
lost lovers Rona Sanders and George
Huston, she found herself in trouble

in love with her and refused to love
Rona, who was dying of an illness.
Apparently, only George's love for
Rona could cure her. Venus called on
Jupiter for aid and he imbued Rona
with a portion of Venus' powers
causing George to love her and cure
her of her illness at the same time.
Later, when Apollo requested to return
to Earth to once more try and win
Venus' love, Jupiter denied the
request. In order to get around this,
Apollo made a deal with the demon
Zoroba to possess his body while
Apollo's spirit was sent to Earth.
Zoroba took the opportunity to bring
Loki to Olympus and posing as Apollo
attempted to convince Jupiter to allow
Loki to leave his exile in Hades and
reside on Olympus. However, Venus
eventually exposed the plot and forced
Apollo to return to his body, and
Jupiter once more banished Loki back
to Hades. Shortly thereafter, Venus
and rocket scientist Rodney Dover
found themselves stranded on the
moon and imperiled by a volcanic
eruption. Jupiter was summoned once

Venus and Rodney to Earth. Earth was
once more in peril when scientist
Michael Templar built a device that
threatened to hurtle the Earth into the
sun. Venus sought Jupiter's aid to stop
this, but it was beyond his power to
stop the Earth's path to destruction.
Instead he had Mercury take Venus to
the man responsible to try and get him
to stop the disaster. As Earth edged
closer to extinction, Jupiter appealed
to Venus to return to Olympus,
warning her that even an immortal
goddess might not be able to survive sustained severe injuries at the hands

when Venus captured Adonis after he

over to Jupiter for punishment. Soon
after, Zeus ceased offering his
assistance to Venus for reasons

Zeus remained the ruler of the
Olympian gods and of Olympus itself,
as well as a staunch ally of the
Asgardians. He set up the Olympia

presence on Earth. Recently, Zeus led

forces of Mikaboshi. With the aid of the

Running Achilles:
Achilles is a fierce warrior and a
brilliant military strategist. When given
a goal and set of tasks to accomplish,
Achilles puts his everything into the
matter to get things accomplished.
History:
Achilles was the seventh son of
Peleus, one of the greatest of Achaean
warriors, and of the sea goddess
Thetis. He was also the cousin of
Patroclus, and his "first soulmate". The
priest Calchas foretold that without
him, Troy would never be taken. Thetis
dipped Achilles into the sacred River
Styx to render him invulnerable, but
held him by the ankle, which wasn't
dipped and remained vulnerable.
164
Another account state that his powers
came from an amulet amulet, created
by "those who called themselves
gods", who allegedly "made him who
he was", by elevating a mere mortal to
divine strength, power and vitality.
Achilles wore the amulet around his
ankle. He inherited the ashen spear of
his father, who had been polished by
Athena and whose spearhead had
been forged by Hephaestus, the
wedding gift of Cheiron the Centaur to
his parents. He also somehow
acquired an armor and a sword forged
by Hephaestus. He had Old Phoenix
for mentor.
According to Aeneas, Achilles was
among the princes to fulfill their oath of
loyalty to Menelaus. As Achilles grew
up, Thetis foresaw that he would gain
glory in the Trojan War, but never
return home alive. To prevent that fate,
she disguised him as a girl and sent
him to the court of Lycomedes, King of
Scyros. After Paris of Troy fled with
Helen, Menelaus gathered the princes
who had swore the oath. Odysseus,
Nestor and Ajax were sent to fetch him
at the court of Lycomedes. To see
through the disguise crafted by Thetis,
Odysseus brought many gifts to the
ladies of the court: Jewels, garments,
a sword, and a shield. He then had his
soldiers to blast their trumpets and
clash their arms and armor as if a
battle started, and Achilles instinctively
wielded the weapons and revealed
himself. Despite having made no vow
to defend Menelaus' honor and despite
his mother's wishes, Achilles accepted
to join the war against Troy, leading
his Myrmidon soldiers.
Rallied, the Argives sailed for Aulis,
then to Troy. Crossing the Aegean
Sea, they reached Teuthrania in
southern Mysia and sacked it,
believing it to be Illium. The warrior-
king Telephus killed Thersander before
Achilles wounded him using his
father's spear. Achilles' vessels then
put in at Scyros, where he married
Deïdameia, the daughter of
Lycomedes. During the wedding,
Telephus came to him, claiming
Achilles was the only one who could
heal his wound, which he managed to
do by scraping rust from the spear into
the wound. In gratitude, Telephus
showed Achilles what course to steer
to reach Troy, but didn't joined them.
Achilles also impregnated Deïdameia.
The fleet returned a second time at
Aulis, and as Agamemnon bragged
about a stag he shot, claiming to
surpass Artemis, she sent stormy
winds prevent them from sailing, and
Calchas stated that only the sacrifice
of Agamemnon's daughter Iphigenia
would dispel the storm. Agamemnon
tricked his wife Clytemnestra into
sending their daughter to Aulis by
stating she would marry Achilles.
When Clytemnestra and Iphigenia
arrived, Achilles protested and the
truth was revealed. As Iphigenia had
been called his wife, Achilles decided
to defend her, but she resolved to die
with honor to permit her father's army
to sack Troy. Achilles stated that he
would have wanted to have her for his
wife. Once her sacrifice was done, the
fleet sailed. On Tenedos, Achilles and
Ajax were present when archer
Philoctetes was bitten by a snake, and
healed by Aesculapius. He was left
behind on the isle of Lemnos to nurse
his wound, due to its stench.
Following Menelaus' peaceful attempt
to take back Helen, the Achaeans
shored in range of fire of Troy. As it
was foretold that the first of them to set
upon the shore would perish, they
waited, until Iolaus was killed by Paris'
brother Hector, who renamed him
"Protesilaus", "the first of his people".
As Cycnus, a son of Poseidon, wished
to kill the second Achaean to brave the
shore of Troy, he attacked but was
quickly killed by Achilles, causing the
Trojans to doubt and to retreat under
Hector's advice, and then the siege
began. Achilles wished to see Helen,
to know for himself whether she was
worth a war, and as he called his
mother Thetis, she came with
Aphrodite. The two goddesses brought
Achilles into Troy to see Helen, who
recognized him immediately though
they had never met. Achilles
recognized that she was as beautiful
as said, and was carried back to his
ship. As Ajax, Odysseus and others
doubted, Achilles galvanized them,
recalling them of the gold, glory, cattle
and women to be enslaved and sold
that the war would bring to them.
Soon afterward, Achilles and his
Myrmidons drove off the cattle of
Aeneas, son of Aphrodite, on Mount
Ida, causing him and his Dardanians to
become the ally of Troy and the
enemies of the Achaeans. As Illium
stood, he then ravaged many
neighboring cities: Lyrnessus,
Pedasus, and Chryse. Chryseïs went
to Agamemnon, and Briseïs to
Achilles, whom Patroclus was tasked
to treat well. Achilles started to resent
Agamemnon, who took the largest
share of the plunder while remaining
safe. Along with Diomedes and
Odysseus, Achilles was suspected of
having slay the clever rival Palamedes.
For nine years, the war kept on, with
rare battles. Ares stood by Achilles'
side at some point during the war.
After nine years of war, Chryseïs was
surrendered by Agamemnon, because
her father caused Apollo to rain death
on the Achaeans, and Agamemnon
took Briseïs in her place. That caused
a quarrel between Agamemnon and
Achilles. According to Aphrodite,
Achilles was even close to slaying
Agamemnon, but was stopped by
Athena. Achilles retired with his troops
to his ships, refusing to fight any more,
until that wrong was redressed. During
the battle following Menelaus and
Paris duel, Achilles remained aside,
making Diomedes the mightiest of the
Argives fighting. During the following
months, Patroclus wore Achilles' armor
and led the Argive host. The Trojans
consequently gave him way, thinking
him invulnerable, until Hector
slaughtered him, only to be slain by
Achilles himself. Achilles surrendered
Hector's corpse to King Priam only at
Zeus' command himself.
After Hector's death, the Trojans
remained within the walls of their city,
fearing Achilles, until twelve Amazon
led by Penthesileia entered the city to
assist them, announcing she would
slay Achilles and destroy the Argives.
She attacked them, but Ajax and
Achilles were away from the battle,
mourning at Patroclus' grave, held
back from the battle tumult by one god
so many Argives would be killed by
Trojans and their allies. Eventually,
they heard of the battle and joined the
fight, immediately targeted by
Penthesileia, whom he defeated in
single combat, causing the wrath of
her father Ares who was forbidden by
Zeus to interfere (as any Olympians).
As Achilles gazed upon the body of
Penthesileia, feeling sorrowing love for
her (same he had for Patroclus' death),
he was mocked by Thersites, whom he
killed with a single backhand fist blow,
causing rejoice among the Achaeans
165
save for Diomedes who wished to
avenge as Thersites was of his blood.
Achilles let the Trojans carry off the
body and armor of Penthesileia, and
himself sailed to Lesbos to sacrifice
and be purified for killing Thersites.
During this time, Aethiopian warrior-
King Memnon and his tribesmen came
to help Troy. Memnon killed
Antilochus, son of Nestor and bosom
friend to Achilles, but was killed by
Achilles at his return, and so the
Aethiopians departed.
After the funeral of Antilochus, Priam's
sons Paris and Deiphobus rallied the
Trojans and attacked, but Achilles
forced them back to the city's opened
gates. As Apollo forbid Achilles from
entering the city, the son of Peleus
threatened him. Guided by Apollo,
Paris went back to Achilles and shot
him in his vulnerable heel with a
poisonous arrow, avenging his brother.
Achilles stood in the opening of the
Scaean Gates, surrounded by the
Trojans who didn't dare come close to
him, and though he was weakening,
he killed Orythaon, comrade of Hector,
then Hipponous and Alcathous, before
finally falling. Another account state
that Paris shot the chain of the amulet
that allegedly gave him his powers and
that he wore at the ankle. Without the
amulet, Achilles was (still allegedly) no
mightier than any other man, and fell.
Before the Trojans could take his
body, Ajax came into the gates to
retrieve it, and Odysseus came himself
to protect Ajax's retreat, killing many
Trojans in the process. As Old Phoenix
and his comrades mourned him, none
wept more than the enslaved Briseïs
and Thetis. Thetis' father Nereus and
all the sea gods mourned as well.
After Achilles' death, Paris hoped in
vain that the Achaeans would stop the
war and leave. On Achilles' pyre (and
after funeral games had been held in
his honor), Thetis offered her son's
armor to the man who rescued his
body. Ajax claimed the price, but
Odysseus as well, stating that Ajax
would have been killed save for him.
The armor finally went to Odysseus.
Achilles was sent to Hades. After
being told by Priam's son and seer
Helenus that Troy would not fall until
"the Bow of Heracles loses arrows
against it", Odysseus sent a ship back
to Tenedos (or more likely Lemnos) to
fetch Philoctetes, who was healed by
Aesculapius's son Machaon. Once
back at Troy, Philoctetes and Paris
were drawn at the same point of the
battle by goddess Strife, and
Philoctetes killed Paris from one, or
three arrows.
As Telephus' son Eurypylus came with
reinforcements from Teuthrania, and
as an oracle had decreed that "only
when this scion of Achaea's most
formidable warrior fought beside
[them] would the war come to an end",
Odysseus and Diomedes went to
Scyros to fetch Neoptolemus, son of
Achilles, who was given by Odysseus
his father's armor. Neoptolemus was
already as his father, although his
young age, due to Achilles being the
son of a goddess. As Neoptolemus
wished to meet his father alive,
Achilles' ghost came to visit him at
night, under Hades' consent for once
only, and asked him to not shame his
name in battle. Leading the
Myrmidons, Neoptolemus clashed with
Eurypylus, recalling him that his father
had wounded then healed his own
before killing him. After Troy fell,
Agamemnon alleged that Achilles had
come in his dreams to demand the
sacrifice of Queen Hecuba's daughter
Polyxena. She was brought to Achilles'
tomb to be sacrificed. During
Agamemnon's return to Mycenae,
Achilles' ghost appeared to him,
warning him against his wife
Clymnestra who still hated him for the
sacrifice of their daughter Iphigenia
(confirming the prophecy of Priam's
daughter Cassandra, whom
Agamemnon had taken and intended
to marry).
At some point ("an uncounted time
ago") and somehow, Achilles and Ajax
found themselves in Olympus. There,
they fought the assault of Hades who
wished to rule upon Olympus (or crush
it?), along with Hercules, Apollo,
Poseidon, and Ares. When the armies
of Mikaboshi attacked Olympus,
Achilles fought, along with many
heroes and gods, including Hercules,
Odysseus (who died in the fights),
Apollo, Athena, Patroclus, Theseus,
Ajax, Jason, the Argonauts and
Perseus. Zeus sent Achilles to lead
Olympus' soldiers, while having the
Myrmidons kidnap Ares' son Alex
Aaron (and sent to the Myrmidons'
stronghold, the Halls of Achilles) to
force him to join the fight. Achilles was
wounded in battle against Mikaboshi,
who managed to scar him, and then
came to Ares along with two
Myrmidons, to ask him to help them
defeat the armies of the East,
convincing him by stating that it would
save his son.
Returning to Olympus using the Bolts
of Zeus, they ended up in a fallen city,
with the Myrmidons all dead, save for
three. Achilles had to convince Ares to
fight off the hordes of Mikaboshi, until
they were both teleported to Zeus'
halls. As Ares was raging and striking
Zeus for his plots, Achilles and
Hercules tried to interfere but were
forbidden to do so by Zeus. Ares once
again accepted to help them, devising
a plan (and stating that Achilles should
have been in charge from the
beginning, and not Hercules). While
Achilles was exposing his knowledge
of the enemy to Ares and the other
heroes (including Patroclus),
Mikaboshi's warriors breached the
room. After the attack was repelled,
the Olympians were introduced by
Hermes to East god Inari, who asked
them to make a gesture towards his
fellow gods, as they were too prideful
to ask for help from "barbarians". Both
Apollo and Achilles felt vexed and
wanted to refuse, as well as Ares,
opposed to Hercules' opinion. Water
was offered to Inari, who was then
dismissed. While the men were
preparing, Ares and Achilles discussed
for a time of Ares' spawn Phobos and
Deimos, of Zeus, and questioned
themselves the length of the war to
come. Five years later, Ares and
Hercules' troops assaulted Mikaboshi's
fortress. Inari brought the water to his
fellow gods (the few having survived
Mikaboshi), implying the Olympians
asked for help. His and Hermes' ruse
caused them to join the fight, saving
Achilles, Patroclus and the others from
the undead armies and turning the tide
for the gods of West and East to
defeat Mikaboshi. At the point of the
Civil War II and the rise of the Uprising
Storm, Achilles was still dead (or
rather "again").

Running Aeneas:
Aeneas is a powerful and dedicated
warrior. He takes his job very serious
and would lay down his life for those
he loves and protects.
History:
Aeneas was the son of Aphrodite,
Goddess of Love and Beauty, and of
Anchises, King of Dardanus. He
accompanied Paris, son King Priam of
Troy, when the Trojan prince crossed
the Aegean Sea to take Helen from
Menelaus, king of Sparta. Menelaus
soon sought his brother Agamemnon,
King of Mycenae, who gathered all
leaders of Achaea, to sail to Troy and
demand Helen's return, causing the
Trojan War. The Achaeans reached
the coast of Troy, and soon attacked
its neighbors. Despite the Dardanians
not being formally allies to Troy,
Achilles and his Myrmidon warriors
went on Mount Ida and chased
Aeneas' cattle, forcing him and his
men to flee for their lives. On that day,
Aeneas declared himself full fried to
the Trojans, and a foe to the
Achaeans.
During the siege of Troy, while facing a
giant boar outside the city, he was
saved by Thor. Along with Thor, he
later assisted to the single combat
between Menelaus and Paris, and
rejoiced to see Paris defeated,
meaning the war's end was closing in.
As Paris was about to be slain,
Aphrodite came invisible to save him,
seen only from Thor and Aeneas. The
war was soon reignited by Athena who
manipulated Pandarus of Lycia to
strike an arrow at Menelaus. Aeneas
took Pandarus with him on a chariot
for him to attack Menelaus at close
range, but he was slain by Diomedes.
As Aeneas went to help the fallen
Pandarus, Diomedes struck him with a
massive rock and attempted to slay
Aeaneas, who was timely protected by
Aphrodite, then by Thor. Thor
evacuated Aeneas within the walls of
Troy, where he asked the Norse God
to heal him for him to return to battle.
Instead, Thor, presenting himself as
Aeneas, went to battlefield, repelling
the Argives until he was himself
confronted to Zeus. Meanwhile, Paris
was eventually killed by Philoctetes,
and Aeneas assisted to the wedding of
Helen to Deiphobus, brother to Paris.
During the wedding ceremony, he
recognized Eurypylus, the son of
Telephus, king of Teuthrania, and
grandson of Heracles, who had come
to help Troy leading a vast army. Thor
later returned to bid farewell, telling
him he felt that they would meet again.
After the Achaeans seemingly left,
leaving only a wooden horse
presented as an offering to Athena,
Aeneas, intrigued, listened to Laocoön,
priest of Poseidon, as he sacrifice to
the Sea God, claiming the horse to be
a fraud, despite Priam and the other
priests' choice. As a pair of sea
serpents dragged Laocoön and his
sons away, Aeneas tried to intervene,
then seeing a sign of the gods in the
attack, decided to flee the city with his
forces and their families, and return to
Mount Ida. That very night, the
Dardanians had fled Troy and
witnessed it burning as the Achaeans
invaded it, destroying it to the ground.
Aeneas was later involved in his own

Through the assistance of the Eternal

Running Agamemnon:
Once Agamemnon was set on his path
he did whatever it took to ensure
success during the Trojan War. He
sacrificed his daughter, loyalty and
friends to win and it only cost him his
life in the end.
History:
Agamemnon was the son of King
Atreus of Mycenae and the grandson
of King Pelops of Pisa and King
Catreus of Crete. Inheriting the curse
the gods levied on Atreus for the
murders of his cousins, he and his
brother Menelaus both lived in exile
167
from Mycenae for much of their early
years because of this curse up until he
asked King Tyndareus of Sparta for
the hand of his daughter Clytemnestra,
the sister of Helen of Troy, in marriage.
The desire was solely one to help him
recover the throne of Mycenae, his
father’s kingdom from King Tantalus,
his nephew who was married to her.
Slaying both Tantalus and his heir, he
kept Clytemnestra as his wife, and
came to rule Mycenae. He eventually
saw a chance to seize the wealth of
Troy after Paris abducted Helen from
his brother.
Unable to sail for Troy because of a
lack of winds to carry his ships, he
learned from a prophecy that the
goddess Artemis would not allow him
to sail for Troy unless he sacrificed his
own daughter Iphigeneia to her. The
wind shifted to Troy as a result of the
sacrifice and Agamemnon sailed for
Troy (his daughter was reputedly
restored to life by Artemis as her
priestess to the Taurians or was
secretly replaced by a deer by Artemis
to test his determination). Once in
Troy, Agamemnon seized a concubine
named Briseis that Achilles had taken
for himself in order to keep his mind in
the war. Achilles, meanwhile, refused
to pick up a sword for most of the war
and only entered it after the death of
his best friend, Patroclus. Angry over
the disappearance of her daughter,
Clytemnestra took a lover, Aegisthus,
who claimed the throne of Mycenae on
his behalf. When Agamemnon
returned from war, the two of them
joined forces to kill him out of revenge.
Agamemnon’s ghost in the underworld
presented himself to Odysseus in his
visit there and told him of the details of
his murder.

Running Ajax, the Great:
Ajax was a powerful and much
respected warrior, who despite
appearances, was not giant-kin, but
the grandson of Zeus. He was a friend
and ally of Achilles.
History:
Ajax was the son of Telamon and
grandson to Zeus. He was one of the
original suitors of Helen of Sparta, and
swore loyalty to the one Helen would
choose. Menelaus succeeded in
winning Helen's hand in marriage. At
some point, he tore Tecmessa from
her parents' side, and she bore a son
to him. When Paris, son of King Priam
of Troy, came to Sparta and stole
Helen, Ajax fullfilled his oath and
joined Menelaus under his brother
Agamemnon's leadership. Along with
Nestor and Odysseus, they were
dispatched to find Achilles at the court
of Lycomedes, king of Scyros. Though
Achilles wasn't bound by the vow to
Menelaus, Odysseus and Achilles
easily convinced him to join them in
the Trojan War, sailing from Aulis.
After an attempt to reach Troy, the
Achaeans returned to Aulis. There,
Ajax witnessed as the seer Calchas
stated that only by the sacrifice of
Agamemnon's daughter Iphigenia
would the wrath of Artemis be
appeased, and was later witness as
well of Iphigenia's acceptance of her
fate. While sailing at the isle of
Tenedos, where they stopped to feast,
Ajax witnessed as Philoctetes was
bitten by a viper whom Ajax killed.
Instants later, the wound began to
fester and reek, and Philoctetes was
later abandoned on the island of
Lemnos. As the war quickly became a
siege, Ajax doubted, but they were
galvanized by Achilles who recalled
them of the glory, cattle, gold and
women to be taken in Troy. At some
point in the war, Ajax stopped Priam's
son Hector who was intending to burn
the Achaeans' ships, while Odysseus
fled from the Trojan warrior. When
twelve Amazon led by Penthesileia led
the Trojans in an attack against the
Argives, Ajax and Achilles were away
from the battle, mourning at the grave
of their friend Patroclus, earlier killed
by Hector. They were held back from
the battle tumult by one god so many
Argives would be killed by Trojans and
their allies. Eventually, they heard of
the battle and joined the fight,
galvanizing the Achaeans. Ajax let
Achilles deal with Penthesileia and
went himself slaying the Trojans.
When Achilles fell at the Scaean
Gates, killed by Paris helped by the
god Apollo, Ajax retrieved and carried
his body, protected in his retreat by
Odysseus. During Achilles' funeral, his
mother the Sea-Goddess Thetis
offered his armor to the man who
rescued his body, and Odysseus
contested Ajax's claim, stating that
without him, Ajax would had been
killed as well. Ajax proposed that
Nestor, Idomeneus and Agamemnon
would decide, but Nestor highlighted
the fact that the loser would be
wrathful, and so Agamemnon
designated high-born Trojan captives
decide, who awarded the armor to
Odysseus. Ajax was enraged, and at
night was touched with madness by
Athena, goddess of wisdom, who
loved Odysseus well. Athena caused
him to fall into madness and finally kill
himself. In the morning, Odysseus
honored his body but refused to take
the blame for his death. As Tecmessa
lamented, Agamemnon swore that he
alive, she and her son would never be
168
enslaved. At some point and
somehow, Achilles and Ajax found
themselves in Olympus. There, they
fought the assault of Hades who
wished to rule upon Olympus, along
with Hercules, Apollo, Poseidon, and
Ares.
When the armies of Mikaboshi
attacked Olympus, Ajax fought, along
with many heroes and gods, including
Achilles, Hercules, Odysseus, Apollo,
Athena, Patroclus, Theseus, Jason,
the Argonauts and Perseus. Under
Ares' leadership and along other
heroes, he defended the city from
Mikaboshi's army.

History:
Amphitryon was a great warrior from
Thebes, Greece. He was married to
Alcmena of the House of Perseus. In
his absence, Zeus seduced Alcmena
in the guise of her husband, who was
away at war. Due to his Olympian
lineage, Hercules was born with the
potential for extraordinary superhuman
strength. Hera the wife of Zeus grew
jealous of his adultery, Alcmena tried
to appease the Goddess by naming
her child Heracles "Glory of Hera".
The child was at first abandoned
outside the city and when Athena and
Hera found it, Hera decided to suckle
the child, however, his godly strength
harmed her when he bit down and she
flung away. He was returned to the city
and was accepted by Amphitryon and
his wife. However, Hera then sent to
serpents to kill the child, but even at
one years old he had great strength
and strangled them both with his bare
hands. After the young baby Heracles
killed the two snakes sent to kill him,
his parents went to Tiresias for advice.
He revealed the truth of Hercules true
parentage and that Zeus created him
to be the champion of mankind. He
saw his many future battles including
one against the Hulk. Amphitryon
raised Hercules as his own training in
all forms of combat.
In 1291 B.C., on the road to Thebes he
encountered a group of Minyan
warriors travelling to sack the city,
Hercules beat them all with ease. This
lead to war between Minya and
Thebes and Hercules was imprisoned
for the attack. It was then he learned
the truth of his origin from his parents.
They gave him the garb bestowed on
them from Zeus. He met with the
leader of the Minyan, but when they
tried to execute him the axe shattered
on his neck. It was however during the
battle Amphitryon was killed.

Running Artume:
Artume is a psychopath. She is an
uncaring, unfeeling man hating woman
filled with rage and hate for mankind,
her mother, the gods and anyone but
her.
History:
Artume was a creation of the Amazon
Queen sculpted from basic stone and
then brought to life via a reversal of the
legendary Gorgon's curse bringing her
inanimate form to life. Her mother
hoped she'd be a symbol with which
the Amazon culture could usher in a
brand new age of peace, truth and
solemnity for their nation, but this
scenario proved less than satisfactory
to the amazonian upstart. Who being
raised in their fascist semi-xenophobic
culture of right-wing warrior women
found her natural apathetic proclivities,
due in part to having a heart of stone;
exponentially worsened when
Mikaboshi and his demonic armies
mowed through the Olympians and
she along with her clan were called to
arms in their defense. It was here in
the heat of battle were the Amazonian
princess found her true calling which
would deviate from anything her
mother Hippolyta ever had in mind,
and here she would begin plotting to
take the world for her own after
Olympus itself had crumbled.
With The Amazons now stranded back
on earth after the fall of patron god and
skyfather, Zeus and the destruction of
Mount Olympus. Artume would begin
plotting behind her mother’s back
during sting operations headed by her
Queen & tribe against various
godheads such as Poseidon under
orders of the goddess Hera. eventually
taking an Atlantean surface albatross
dubbed Triton Station as their personal
base of operations. While Hippolyta
was away answering summons of their
goddess at the Olympus Corporation
stationed in New York City. She would
170
come to the captured fallen god
inquiring about some mystic relics
harbored from Atlantis' lost history,
particularly a tablet belonging to the
Cult of Zhered-Na which lead to a relic
capable of Manipulating the Axis
Mundi held in place by the Titan Atlas.
After having secured their fortress she
would search for the supposed
Eromenos of Hercules eventually
seeking both them and another of his
consorts by the name of Namora on a
secluded island. While her forces dealt
with the Atlantean and Olympian a
second strike team lead by Artume
herself would secure the teen genius
Amadeus Cho whom she then
seduced and tricked into deciphering
the tablet for the location of the
Omphalos. When her Demi-Goddess
mother had returned ordering her
soldiers to stand down, Artume
appeared boasting of her ascendance
to the throne wherein she shot her
former queen dead and decapitated
her place the head on a spear in a
secluded station of their headquarters.
Upon the completion of the desired
task Artume then double crossed
Amadeus as well, having him locked
up in the brig as she and her warriors
eventually set out in an Atlantean
crafted cruiser, heading towards the
last known location of the Omphalos
which was at the bottom of the Atlantic
Trench.
While on their journey Artume spied
how her personal shield maiden
Delphyne Gorgon had taken a liking to
the now captive super genius behind
her back. As the two made way to the
last known location of the artifact they
desired her ward managed to retrieve
the said relic while The Amazon
Queen dealt with its abominable
defenses, only for Artume to shoot
Delphyne in the back with a harpoon at
the first opportunity for all of her earlier
infidelities against her and the Amazon
culture. Going so far as to inform Cho
of her former aid's demise at her
hands. Making their way to
Washington, DC; where the Axis
Mundi and Atlas' world center position
had been placed after President
George Washington set down the first
cement block founding its first national
monument as the seat of global central
power. She and her forces were met
with opposition by Hercules, Namora
and Athena, whom helped Hercules
track their next likely position to take
the Navel urn.
After inciting a ritualistic dialect to
relive the titan of his burden and
setting him upon the prince of power
as a distraction, Artume continues to
chant to the mystic object in order to
shift the axis of reality to her own
demented image. Even sticking
through it when her stolen transport
was brought down in the ensuing
battle of gods and mortals; until it is
knocked out of her hands by a bullet
fired from her excommunicated right
hand woman by aid of an escaped
Amadeus. During the hustle and bustle
of reality shifts between the various
hands who possessed the universe
altering item in question, Artume snuck
in a cheap shot against its last handler
before completing the chanting rite
which enabled her to take the reins of
reality into her hands. This short lived
world where Amazonia reigned
supreme and steadily began to winnow
the male populous of the world to the
point of extinction was undone with the
death of its creator in it, resulting in the
demise of the former Amazon queen in
the mainstream. Who upon her demise
reverted back to stone and crumbled
to dust as the amazonian gorgon was
crowned new queen of the Amazons.
Artume was last seen within a court of
the Underworld headed by Zeus's
brother Pluto as his judge, with her
and a host of deceased villains and
n'ere dowels from earth present at the
sentencing of the deceased Lord of
Olympus for his past crimes and
atrocities done in sacrifice to his name.

She spoke Ancient Greek and Latin.
Contacts:
Aphrodite, Jason and the Argonauts,
Hercules. Her husband Melanion.
Running Atlanta:
A huntress and tracker, this feral
warrior was among the fastest and
best archers to ever live having killed 2
centaurs with a bow, at the same time.
History:
Atlanta's parentage is uncertain. Her
parents may have benn King Iasus
and Clymene. She came into the world
in the "undesirable state" of being
female. As a result, her father had her
carried into the woods and left to die.
However, a bear found her and
adopted her. As she grew older she
began to spend time with hunters and
was soon the best amongst them. She
loved hunting and the outdoors and
had no use for a man in her life. She
also received an oracle that her
marriage would end in disaster. She
had no compunction in defending her
virginity. When the centaurs Rhoecus
and Hylaeus attempted to rape her,
she killed them with her arrows. She
wished to join the Argonauts, but
Jason wouldn’t allow a woman among
the crew, fearing problems might
occur, similar to those during the hunt.
Her skills allowed her to draw first
blood during the Calydonian Boar
Hunt. Her contribution to the hunt was
marred when a quarrel over giving her
a trophy resulted in the death of
Meleager and his uncles.
At the funeral games honoring Pelias,
Atlanta entered the wrestling contests.
There, she gained more fame by
scoring a victory over Peleus. She
achieved enough that her father
forgave her for not being a son and
allowed her to return home. Once
there, he attempted to fulfill his fatherly
obligations by finding her a husband.
171
For her to simply refuse might arouse
dangerous resentment. Instead she
proposed a test. The successful suitor
would have to beat her in a foot race.
Losing suitors would be beheaded by
her. As Atlanta was one of the fastest
mortals this appeared to ensure her
maidenhood. For quite some time this
worked. Some say that she evened the
odds by wearing armor while she ran.
Others say that she gave the suitors a
head start of half the distance. In any
case the heads stacked up. Melanion
fell in love with her. He knew that he
was not fast enough to win the race.
So he did what many frustrated lovers
had done; he prayed to Aphrodite for
help. Aphrodite had a weakness for
lovers and a concern about those that
rejected romance to the degree that
Atlanta did. Aphrodite presented
Melanion with three golden apples and
a plan. In return, Melanion was to
sacrifice to Aphrodite. Melanion then
ran his race with Atlanta carrying the
apples with him. When Atlanta caught
up to him he tossed the first apple at
her feet. The sight of the magic golden
apple was irresistible to Atlanta. She
stopped to pick it up confident that she
could make up the time. Soon enough
she was once again passing Melanion.
He threw the second apple, this time
further to the side. Again, she lost time
retrieving the apple. As she again
caught up the finish line was near and
chasing the third thrown apple cost her
the race.
Despite her resistance, marriage
seemed to suit Atlanta. Melanion's
happiness and joy was so great he
completely forgot his obligations to
sacrifice to Aphrodite. As usual when
messing up with the gods payback
was severe. Aphrodite waited until
Melanion and Atlanta were passing a
shrine to a god, possibly Zeus. She
then hit them with overwhelming
desire. Melanion took Atlanta into the
shrine and lay with her. At that point,
the infuriated god turned them both
into lions. This was regarded as poetic
as it was believed lions could mate
only with leopards. One mystery
concerning Atlanta. Despite her vow,
she had a son, Parthenopaeus. The
father is unknown. Melanion and
Meleager have been suggested, but
were with Atlanta briefly. Out of
embarrassment, she left him on a
mountain. He was found and became
a hero in his own right.

Talents:

spoke Ancient Greek and Latin.
Contacts:
As king of Elis, Augeas had contacts
with his leaders and soldiers. At one
time he was part of Jason's Argonauts
and would have known Hercules
before their falling out.
Running Augeas:
Once upon a time Augeas was a brave
warrior serving alongside Jason and
the Argonauts. He went on epic
adventures and fought all manner of
beasts and creatures. But power and
wealth changes people and when he
met Hercules again, years later, he felt
no obligation to keep his promises or
honor his debts to his one-time friend.
History:
Augeas and Hercules were one part of
the Argonauts together and after many
adventures together, they parted
company. Many years later and now
King Augeas of Elis, he owned more
cattle than anyone in Greece, and was
among the richest men in Greece.
Thousands of cows lived in his Augean
Stables. In 1272 B.C., as part of his
Twelve Labors, Hercules was told to
clean them completely, but Hercules
bet a tenth of the stock that he could
told to clean them completely in a
single day. While Hercules actually
tried to the task manually, in vain,
Forgotten One, an Eternal who was
mistaken for Hercules, diverted two
rivers so that they flowed into the
stables, sweeping out the filth. When
Augeas refused him the promised
payment, Hercules swore revenge
and, after his Labors were complete,
gathered an army to invade the
country. The king at first repelled the
hero with the help of several allies,
including his nephews, the twin
Molionidai, and Amarynkeus. Hercules
was also struck down by illness,
further stalling the campaign. After his
recovery, he ambushed and slew the
twins at Kleonai before launching a
second invasion. This time he
conquered the country, slaying King
Augeas in battle. To celebrate his
victory Hercules founded the Olympic
Games near the Eleian town of Pisa.

History:
Cadmus, the grandson of Posideon,
the son of King Agenor, of Phoenicia
and brother of Europa. Europa was
carried off by Zeus, king of the gods,
and Cadmus was sent out to find her.
Unsuccessful, he consulted the
Delphic oracle, which ordered him to
give up his quest, follow a cow, and
build a town on the spot where she lay
down. The cow guided him to Boeotia
(Cow Land), where he founded the city
of Thebes. Later, Cadmus sowed in
the ground the teeth of a dragon he
had killed. From these sprang a race
of fierce armed men, called Sparti
(meaning Sown). The Sparti fought
one another until only five survived.
These five assisted him in building the
Cadmea, or citadel, of Thebes and
became the founders of the noblest
families of that city. Cadmus later took
as his wife Harmonia, daughter of the
divinities Ares and Aphrodite, by whom
he had a son, Polydorus, and four
daughters, Ino, Autonoë, Agave, and
Semele. For her liaison with Zeus,
Semele was destroyed by Hera’s plan.
Ino was driven mad by Hera and
jumped with her one surviving son into
the sea. Autonoë’s son Actaeon was
killed by his hounds, and Agave—with
the help of Ino and Autonoë—
unknowingly killed her son, Pentheus.
After Pentheus’s death, Cadmus and
Harmonia finally retired to Illyria. But
when the Illyrians later angered the
gods and were punished, Cadmus and
Harmonia were saved, being changed
into black serpents and sent by Zeus
to the Islands of the Blessed (Elysian
Fields).

Talents:

Contacts:
King Priam and Queen Hecabe as well

Running Cassandra:
Cassandra was a normal girl, hounded
by mortal and immortal men alike. She
came to hate Apollo more than any
other for having cursed her with the
ability to foretell the future, but leaving
her unable to be believed on the
matter.
History:
Cassandra was a mortal princess of
the city of Troy, for Cassandra was the
daughter of King Priam of Troy, and
his wife Hecabe (Hecuba). Cassandra
would have many siblings, for some
said that Priam fathered 100 children,
but amongst the most notable were
Hector and Paris, and also
Cassandra’s twin brother Helenus.
Cassandra would grow up to become
the most beautiful of all of King Priam’s
daughters and as a result she had
many potential suitors, both mortal and
immortal. Apollo, smitten with the
beauty of Cassandra, attempts to
seduce the mortal princess. To help
sway Cassandra, Apollo offers up the
gift of prophecy, a gift which
Cassandra willingly accepts. Having
accepted the gift though, Cassandra
then rebuts the sexual advances of
Apollo. A spurned Apollo could have
simply taken Cassandra’s new ability
away from her, but in an act of
vengeance, Apollo instead decides to
curse the woman who spurned him.
Thus, from that day on, Cassandra’s
prophecies would always come to
pass, but no one would ever believe
her predictions. Subsequently,
Cassandra would then teach her twin
brother Helenus how to see in the
future, and so good was Cassandra as
a tutor that Helenus’ predictions would
also always come true, although of
course, Helenus’ would be believed.

History:
Centaurion is a demi-god from
Olympus that was sent by Bellona to
capture a young mystic named Kyllian
Kell after she learned that he was the
host for three Celtic Gods. Centaurion
confronted Kyllian on the streets of
New York City and struck with an
energy bolt from his sword. The
powers of the Celtic trio that reside
within Kyllian protected him from near
173
death. Kyllian counterattacked when
his stone symbol on his chest
activated and Centaurion's legs were
engulfed by the ground. Centaurion
was trapped so Kyllian fired a mystic
bolt to crack a fire hydrant where a
strong stream of water blasted the
Centaur warrior. Centaurion broke free
and fired another bolt of energy at
Kyllian. The young mystic raised his
staff and absorbed the attack. Kyllian
re-channeled the blast at Centaurion
and knocked him out. Bellona
appeared to check on Centaurion and
saw him on the ground. Centaurion
quickly revived and apologized to
Bellona for failing his mission and
wanted another chance to redeem his
honor. Bellona told Centaurion the
time wasn't right and they returned
back to Olympus after she opened a
portal with the Salts of Skartekis.

and the Achaeans shipped the shore
of Troy. They held back from leaping
off the ships as it was foretold that the
first of them to set foot would perish.
Iolaus rushed into and was killed by
Hector who renamed his "Protesilaus",

brave the shore, but was killed by
Achilles, causing doubt among the
Troyans who retreated behind their
city's walls.
When a duel was set between Paris
and Menelaus during the eight year of
war, Hector urged his brother to be
brave if he was to be defeated. Months
later, Hector killed Achilles' friend
Patroclus (wearing Achilles' armor),
and was himself killed by Achilles (the
Gods allegedly misled Hector and
helped Achilles). Achilles returned
Hector's body to King Priam only at
Zeus' command, and was burned in a
funeral fire. Hector was later avenged
by his brother, as well aided by the
god Apollo. At the end of the war,
Hector's son was killed on the advice

was formed between the two. During
her life she was the wielder of the
Amulet of Pazuzu. At the time of the
Trojan War, Hippolyta was accidentally
killed by her sister Penthesileia during
a hunt. Afterwards, Penthesileia grew
in fear of the reproaches of her own,
she became haunted by the Furies,
came to Troy to cleanse her soul, and
died on the battlefield.
In her first modern-day appearance,
Hippolyta helped Pluto, Greek god of
the dead, in his plan to avenge himself
on Hercules, by posing as a movie
actress and tricking the hero into
signing a "movie contract" that in
reality bound him to Pluto's realm,
Hades. But Thor came to his aid, and
the heroes caused so much damage to
Hades that Pluto himself broke the
contract just to be rid of them. Pluto
then involved her in a plot to convince
Zeus that she should be married to
Hercules and Venus to Ares. In reality,
this would remove these two as
obstacles while invading Olympus.
This plot led to the formation of the
Champions of Los Angeles. Hippolyta
also formed a new generation of
Amazons from female runaways in
New York City called the Bacchae.
The group clashed with such heroes
as the Fantastic Four and the X-Men.
After visiting her father Ares in an
attempt to rally him to one of Hera's
new schemes, which he ruffed, she
was murdered by her daughter
Artume, who was tired of her mother's
obsession with Hercules. Hela later
brought Hippolyta from the Underworld
to help the Valkyrior defeat the Doom
Maidens. Hippolyta then joined the
Fearless Defenders as a full-time
member.

Running Jason:
Jason is a good and honest person
who overcame extraordinary obstacles
to complete the Argonautic expedition
to find the Golden Fleece.
History:
Jason was a hero in Greek mythology,
the leader of the Argonautic Expedition
in the quest of retrieving the Golden
Fleece. He was the son of the king of
Iolcus, Aeson, but it is not certain who
his mother was; various names appear
in different sources as his mother.
When Jason was still a baby, his half-
uncle Pelias, vying for the throne of
Aeson, killed all of Aeson's children,
and overthrew Aeson; however, he
failed to kill Jason. The baby was sent
to the centaur Chiron, who nurtured
him to adulthood. Pelias, in the
meantime, consulted an oracle that
told him to be careful of a man with
one sandal. Jason, a grown man,
returned to Iolcus to attend some
games held by Pelias in honour of the
god Poseidon; during his travel, he lost
one of his sandals in the river Anauros
while helping a disguised Hera to
cross. Hera secretly blessed Jason at
that point. Jason appeared in front of
Pelias, asking for the throne as the
rightful heir of Aeson, but Pelias gave
him the quest to bring the Golden
Fleece in order to step down from the
throne. Jason started creating a party
of heroes, who were collectively called
the Argonauts, after the name of
Jason's ship, Argo. The Golden Fleece
was located in the mythical region of
Colchis that would take a long time to
reach. After the Argonauts set sail,
they first reached the island of
Lemnos. There, all the women of the
island had killed their husbands after a
curse that had been afflicted on them
by the goddess Aphrodite, because
she was not properly worshipped. The
Argonauts stayed for a while there,
sleeping with the women of the island
and creating a new race, called
Minyans.
Their next stop after Lemnos was the
land of the Doliones, where they were
warmly greeted. They were told there
were supplies to be found beyond
Bear Mountain, where a mythical race
of giants called Gegeines lived. While
the Argonauts were looking for
supplies, the Gegeines attacked the
ship; Heracles, who participated in the
expedition, managed to kill many of
them before the rest of the Argonauts
came and pushed the giants back. At
night, they set sail but a mistake
caused them to land back on the
island, where the Doliones, thinking
they were enemies, attacked them; in
the battle that followed, many Doliones
were killed. In the following day, the
remorseful Argonauts held funerals for
the slain. They then went to Thrace,
where the kingdom of King Phineus
was being plagued by the Harpies.
These monsters were sent by Zeus to
steal food every day. Jason helped the
king and killed the Harpies on their
next attack. Phineus, grateful for
Jason's help, told the Argonauts where
Colchis lay and how to pass through
the Symplegades, the Clashing Rocks.
These were huge rock cliffs that would
move and crush anything that passed
between them. Phineus told Jason to
release a dove and see if it would
make it through, an omen for what
would happen to the ship. The dove
successfully passed, losing only a few
tail feathers; so, when the ship
travelled through the rocks, only minor
damages were caused at the stern of
the ship.
Jason and the Argonauts eventually
reached Colchis, where they were
welcomed by King Aeetes. The Golden
Fleece was in the possession of the
king, gifted to him by Phrixus when he
arrived there on a flying golden ram.
Aeetes said he would give the fleece
to Jason if he successfully completed
three tasks. Jason despared by his
quests. Hera, favouring him, convinced
Aphrodite and Eros to make Medea,
Aeetes' daughter, to fall in love with
Jason and help him in the tasks. The
first task was to plow a field using
Khalkotauroi, fire-breathing oxen;
Medea gave Jason an ointment that
protected him from the fire. The
second task was to sow dragon's teeth
in the field, causing an army of stone
warriors to appear. Jason was
forewarned by Medea, and following
her advice, threw a rock into the army.
The soldiers, not knowing who had
thrown the rock, killed each other. The
third task was to take the Golden
Fleece from a sleepless dragon. A
sleeping potion, provided by Medea,
was enough for Jason to overcome the
dragon and take the Golden Fleece.
After retrieving the fleece, Jason and
the Argonauts left, and Medea joined
them. Aeetes tried to follow them, but
Medea killed her brother and threw his
pieces into the sea, causing Aeetes to
stop and retrieve them. Zeus, angry at
Medea's act of killing her brother,
caused a number of storms on their
way back. To redeem themselves,
179
they stopped at the island of Aeaea,
where the nymph Circe lived to be
purified. They then went on. On their
voyage, they also met the Sirens that
caused ships to crash onto the reefs,
as their captivating voices mesmerised
the crews; Orpheus, however, played
the lyre and completely covered their
voices, thus managing to evade the ill
fate. Near Crete, they met Talos, a
giant bronze man, who guarded the
island and threw stones at anyone
approaching. Medea cast a spell on
him and they managed to remove the
plug that kept Talos' ichor (the divine
blood) in his single vein. Thus, he bled
to death.
The Argonauts eventually managed to
return to their home. Jason found his
father Aeson at a very old age, and
asked Medea to transfer some of his
life to his father. Medea gave a few
more years to Aeson, without
removing them from Jason, but by
infusing Aeson's blood with magical
herbs. Pelias' daughters asked her to
do the same for their father; Medea
tricked them into killing him instead. As
a result, Pelias' son exiled Jason and
Medea. The couple went to Corinth,
where Jason fell in love and was
engaged with Creusa. Medea,
infuriated, confronted Jason, but he
ignored her. As a revenge, Medea
killed Creusa by giving her a dress that
stuck on her and put her on fire; her
father Creon was also burned trying to
save his daughter. Medea then killed
her sons that she had with Jason,
fearing he would kill them as
retaliation. She then abandoned
Jason, flying to Athens on a dragon
chariot sent by her grandfather, the
sun god Helios. Years later, Jason
managed to reclaim the throne of
Iolcus with the help of his friend,
Peleus. However, he remained lonely,
having lost the favour of Hera after
breaking his vows to Medea. He died
while sleeping under the stern of his
ship Argo, which having rotten fell on
him.

Running Medusa:
Medusa is petty and vindictive. She
gathers victims, like little girls gather
dolls to play with.
History:
Medusa, alongside her sister Gorgons,
was created by the ancient Titans
Phorcys and Ceto. After the Olympians
triumphed over the Titans, the
Gorgons became priestesses of
Athena and took a vow of celibacy.
Eventually Medusa broke the vow and
ultimately gave birth to Poseidon's son,
Cyclops. Athena found out that
Medusa had broken the vow and
disgraced the goddess' temple. She
transformed the Gorgon sisters into
scaly hags with snakes for hair. The
Gorgons fled Olympus to Earth to live
in isolation while petrifying unwitting
victims, literally. All their descendants
bore the same curse creating a
mythical species of Gorgons.
Sometime in the fourteenth century
BCE, Perseus located the Gorgons'
hermitage in the wilderness
surrounded by the petrified victims.
Using his shield's reflective surface,
Perseus beheaded Medusa and
subsequently used her head as a
weapon. After Medusa's death, her
daughter relocated to subterranean
world below Athens - Medusa-Land.
Medusa's daughter, who took her
mother's name, became the ruler of
the city. Her descendants, each took
the name Medusa and ruled the city
after the deaths of their mothers.
Generations later King Kreon of Pylos
sent Hercules to retrieve the gold of
Medusa from the Isle of Fear. On the
island he encountered Medusa, alive
and well, concealing her face behind a
hood. Hercules and the Argonauts
ended up slaying her once again. With
Medusa's death, Jason and all her
prior victims reverted back to flesh.
Somehow turning up alive again in the
1920's, Medusa became a famous
photographer named "May Dusa".
During the same era Professor
Lansing discovered the Medusa-Land
and attempted an expedition to
discover its riches. Sometime later
Medusa moved to Paris, France with a
blind man from Greece, her husband.
He wins an art competition by using
one of Medusa's victims as an art
piece. At some event Medusa or one
of her descendants became
imprisoned by a curio shop owner. A
robber was turned to stone upon
discovering Medusa behind a vault
door. The shop owner placed the
criminal's stone body in his shop.
Sometime later, a customer wanted to
know the story behind the "statue", and
the owner told him; the customer did
not believe him, but when the owner
challenged him to open the door
himself, he fled in terror, convinced.
Years later Mr. and Mrs. Grey bought
the cursed European castle with
Medusa imprisoned inside. Mr. Grey
unknowingly released Medusa from
her prison, but she failed to turn to
stone. Thinking that her own curse had
been somehow lifted, she looked at
herself in the mirror turning herself to
stone.
182
In modern times the head of Medusa
was found in an archaeological dig in
Greece by Mr. Collins. He held on to
the head for many decades, until it
was stolen from him by. Mr. Collins
hired Moon Knight to recover the head
of Medusa. Spector managed to
recover the head but in a petrified
state. More recently the original
Medusa was brought back to life via
the Hand's resurrection ritual alongside
with number of Ancient Greek
monsters to be used by Matsu'o
Tsurayaba against Wolverine and
Hercules. Medusa's attack was
unsuccessful and resulted in
beheading. Ironically enough, her head
was uses as a weapon against another
resurrected Ancient Greek
monstrosity, the Kraken.

Running Megara:
Megara was the wife of Hercules and
was killed by him through the acts of
Hera.
History:
Megara was a mortal woman
descended from the House of Cadmus
in Thebes, Greece, circa 13th BC. She
was the daughter of King Creon. When
he heard that the neighboring kingdom
of Thebes had been taken over by
Minyans and the army defeated, he led
a band of Theban warriors to drive the
Minyans out and restore King Creon to
the throne. Creon, in gratitude, gave
him Megara as wife.
Megara and Hercules had three sons;
Therimachus, Deicoon, and
Creontiades. The couples were happy
with their family until Hercules was
called away on some adventure and
the kingdom was left defenseless. He
is performing the last of his famous
Twelve Labors and is in the
underworld attempting to subdue the
three-headed dog Cerberus.
When Hercules finally comes home,
he defeats and kills Lycus and then
gives thanks to the gods for his timely
arrival and the safety of his family. As
he is praying, however, he is struck by
Hera with a madness in which he
believes his sons are those of Lycus
and that Megara is his adversary Hera,
and he kills them all.

History:
Menelaus also spelled Menalaos was
the son of Atreus, the grim King of
Sparta, and the brother of
Agamemnon, High King of the Argives
and King of Mycenae. By 1240 BC,
when many Argive (Greek) princes
asked for Helen's hand, her father
Tyndareus had them all swear loyalty
to the one she would choose for her
mate. Helen then chose Menelaus as
such, and they had a child. One day,
Paris, son of King Priam of Troy, came
to Sparta's court, having been secretly
promised by Aphrodite the hand of
Helen. As Menelaus was called away,
summoned to Crete by his grandsire,
Aphrodite caused Helen to become
smitten with Paris, and brought her
and her dowry, great treasures, to
Menelaus back to Troy. Iris,
messenger of Zeus, soon came to
Menelaus and informed him of the
treachery. He returned home and
sought out Agamemnon, and both
decided to gather all leaders of
Achaea, sail to Troy and demand
return of both Helen and the treasure,
or the city would face assault from
them.
Along with Palamedes and
Agamemnon, they sought Odysseus

prophecy), Diomedes of Argos and
Agamemnon, among others, agreed to
fulfill their oath of loyalty. Under
Agamemnon's leadership, the Argives
set sail for Aulis. Achilles was also
recruited, being the mightiest of the
Achaean warriors. Menelaus and
Agamemnon soon heard Calchas's
omen that the war would last for ten
years.
Sailing to Troy, they crossed the
Aegean Sea but reached Teuthrania,
in southern Mysia. The Argives sacked
it, thinking it was Troy. They then
sailed out once again, but a Hera-sent
storm scattered the Achaean army,
and they finally came back to Aulis.
There, during a hunting trip,
Agamemnon boasted about his feats,
causing the anger of Artemis, who
expressed her wrath upon the fleet
and preventing it from sailing away by
invoking a storm upon Aulis. Calchas
soon prophetized that Artemis would
be appeased by the sacrifice of
Agamemnon's daughter Iphigenia.
Agamemnon sent a message to his
wife Clytemnestra to trick her to bring
Iphigenia to Aulis, allegedly to marry
her to Achilles. Menelaus soon
regretted to have let his brother sent
the message, but Agamemnon was
now compelled by his army to sacrifice
his daughter. The sacrifice done, the
183
Achaeans crossed the sea, and while
the army stopped at Tenedos (where
Philoctetes was left behind due to a
snake bite), Agamemnon sent
Menelaus, Odysseus and Palamedes
to Illium, and demanded that Priam
would return Helen and the treasure
stolen along with her. As Priam
refused, war began.
The Achaeans assaulted Troy's beach,
and the Trojans retreated after Achilles
slew Cycnus, son of Poseidon, and
thus the siege of Troy was set. For
nine years, the Achaeans kept on the
siege of the city, with rare battles
against Troy and its allies. After nine
years of siege, Menelaus and Paris
fought in single combat to decide the
issue of the war. Paris was easily
bested, but while Menelaus was
dragging him to the Argives' lines,
Aphrodite intervened, rendering him
invisible and returning him to Troy.
Nevertheless, Agamemnon declared
Menelaus victorious, whose verdict
was confirmed by Priam. As they were
preparing for peace, the factions and
their gods plotted. Athena descended
upon the besieged city and influenced
Troy ally Pandarus of Lycia to shoot at
Menelaus while he stood next to the
city's walls. The arrow was deflected
by Thor, but the attempt led
Agamemnon to refuse any truce and to
declare the destruction of Troy as the
only issue of the war. After Achilles
was killed at the Scaean Gates,
Menelaus and Agamemnon grieved for
him along with Achilles' mentor Old
Phoenix. On Achilles's funeral, he
listened as the son of Peleus' mother
Thetis gave her son's Hephaestus-
forged armor to the one who rescued
his body from the Trojans (though Ajax
was the one to do, Odysseus was
awarded the price as he had guarded
Ajax's retreat). Informed of his role in
Troy fall by Priam's seer son Helenus,
Odysseus retrieved Philoctetes on
Tenedos, and the next day, he used
the Box of Heracles to slay Paris. As
Menelaus rushed to dismember his
rival's body, Philoctetes took him away
and let the Trojans recover him. Then
Odysseus and Diomedes went for
Achilles' son. Menelaus was
astonished to witness the full-grown
Achilles-like Neoptolemus, who had
aged quickly thanks to his godly
lineage.
Based on an Athena-sent vision to
Epelus, and turned into a trick by
Odysseus, (with Loki Laufeyson's
help), the Achaeans built a massive
hollow wooden horse. A few warriors,
including Menelaus, Odysseus,
Diomedes and Anticlus entered it, and
the others set fire to the camps and set
sail. Sinon was left behind to say to the
Trojans that the horse was an offering
to Athena. Once the Trojans had
feasted their apparent victory, Sinon
alerted the Argives' fleet to return, and
informed the warriors in the horse to
come out. They slew the guards and
opened the gates to the Achaean army
who started rampaging the city. Along
with Neoptolemus and Diomedes,
Menelaus rushed through the palace,
deserted from Priam. Neoptolemus
slew Priam's sons Pammon, Polites
and Antiphonus, then, soon
afterwards, Priam himself, while
Menelaus went to Helen's boudoir,
where he promptly killed her new
husband and Priam's son Deiphobus.
Intending to slew Helen as well,
Menelaus stopped as she stood
proudly in front of him. He next
decided that for all the Achaeans'
suffering, it would be a shame to kill
her, and declared the sin to be only of
Paris and Priam. As her temple had
been desecrated during the night by
Ajax the Lesser, Athena herself
caused a between Agamemnon, who
wished to remain to appease Athena,
Menelaus pushed to leave as soon as
possible as the Achaeans were eager
to leave. Menelaus finally decided to
set sail no matter his brother's choice,
who remain to sacrifice to Athena.
Menelaus' fleet was decimated by
Athena, save for five ships, and he and
Helen took refuge in Egypt. In time,
they would reach Sparta, helped by
the Sea-God Proteus, and along with
Helen, ruled for many years, in
prosperity and peace.
In 1942, his spirit materialized before

Running Odysseus:
Odysseus was wily and crafty, able to
think on his feet and get himself out of
trouble quickly. It is telling that Ares
respected Odysseus for his expertise
in military strategy.
History:
Odysseus was the son of Laertes and
the ruler of the island kingdom of
Ithaca in Ancient Greece. He was one
of the original suitors of Helen of
Sparta, and swore loyalty to the one
Helen would choose. Menelaus
succeeded in winning Helen's hand in
marriage. Years after, he married
Penelope who gave a son,
Telemachus. When Menelaus called
on the suitors to help him bring Helen
back from Troy after Paris, son of King
Priam, had taken her, Sparta's king
went to Ithaca with Agamemnon and
Palamedes. Warned by an oracle that
if he went to Troy, he would not until
twenty years, alone and destitute,
Odysseus tried to avoid to fulfill his
oath, pretending madness, plowing his
fields and sowing salt instead of grain.
Palamedes placed Odysseus' infant
son in front of the plow, and Odysseus
stopped to avoid injuring the child,
revealing his sanity. He agreed to sail
to Troy.
185
Along with Nestor and Ajax, he went to
Scyros to find Achilles who had been
hidden at Lycomedes's court disguised
as a girl by his mother and sea
goddess Thetis. Odysseus was able to
trick Achilles into revealing, who
decided to join them. As the Achaeans
approached Troy, Menelaus,
Palamedes and Odysseus went in
advance to King Priam in order to
demand the return of Helen to avoid
the bloodshed. As the war quickly
became a siege, Odysseus doubted,
but they were galvanized by Achilles
who recalled them of the glory, cattle,
gold and women to be taken in Troy.
Odysseus also held Palamedes
responsible for being there, having
tricked him at Ithaca. Hostility grew
between Odysseus and Palamedes.
Palamedes was later found drowned
while he had gone out fishing, and
some stated Odysseus and Diomedes
were with him. Odysseus refuted the
claim, threatening of murder those who
would utters that lie again, leading to
whispers that they had indeed killed
him. Achilles was also suspected as
well. At some point in the war,
Odysseus fled from Hector who was
intending to burn the Achaeans' ships,
but was stopped by Ajax.
From nine to ten years later, he
protected Ajax at the Scaean Gates as
the Greater retrieved the lifeless body
of Achilles, and slew many Trojans in
doing so. During Achilles' funeral,
Thetis offered his armor to the man
who rescued his body, and Odysseus
contested Ajax's claim, stating that
without him, Ajax would had been
killed as well. Ajax proposed that
Nestor, Idomeneus and Agamemnon
would decide, but Nestor highlighted
the fact that the loser would be
wrathful, and so Agamemnon
designated high-born Trojan captives
decide, who awarded the armor to
Odysseus. Ajax was enraged, and at
night was touched with madness by
Athena, goddess of wisdom, who
loved Odysseus well. Athena caused
him to kill himself. In the morning,
Odysseus honored his body but
refused to take the blame for his
death. Under the priest and seer
Calchas' instruction, Odysseus went to
a temple of Apollo where he found
Priam's son Helenus, a prophet.
Threatening him, he asked him how to
take Troy. Helenus replied that he had
to steal the Palladium from her temple,
and the Bow of Heracles had to loose
arrows against Troy. Odysseus
understood that he had to retrieve
Philoctetes who had been left behind
on an island after he had been
wounded during the crossing of the
Aegean Sea. Odysseus returned with
Philoctetes, who killed Paris in an
arches duel. As Helenus also decreed
that the war would come to an end
only the son of Achilles fought besides
the Achaeans, Odysseus and
Diomedes went to Scyros to find
Neoptolemus. Odysseus gave him his
father's armor. Despite their victories,
the Achaeans didn't managed to
breach the city. One midnight, Athena
came in dreams to Epeius, asking to
build a massive wooden horse, then
burn the camps and sail away to
Tenedos. Odysseus, helped by Loki
devised that the horse would be hollow
and filled of soldiers, and it would be
presented as an offering to appease
the wrath of Athena after stealing the
Palladium. To fulfill Helenus' prophecy,
Achilles infiltrated Troy, disguised as a
disfigured beggar, to steal the
Palladium. He was recognized by
Helen who swore to not betray him.
Wishing to return to Menelaus, Helen
helped Odysseus stole the Palladium.
Some say Diomedes assisted him as
well. Odysseus killed many Trojans
and learned much about the city's
fortifications, then returned.
Once the Wooden Horse ready, the
chosen warriors entered it, the ships
left to Tenedos and the camp was
burned down. The Trojans came to
collect the offering, and Sinon was left
behind to trick the Trojans. Once the
night came and the Trojans were
asleep, Sinon sent the signal for the
fleet to return, and awoke the soldiers
inside the Horse (Odysseus,
Menelaus, Diomedes and Anticlus,
among others), for them to slaughter
the guards, open the doors to the
Achaean army and invade the city. In
the morning, the Trojans were rounded
up, and Odysseus, supported by
Calchas, stated that Hector's infant
son Astyanax was to be killed to
prevent his future vengeance, and so
Odysseus threw him from the city's
walls, against his mother
Andromache's complaints. Odysseus'
return from Troy took ten years and
was beset by perils and misfortune. He
freed his men from the pleasure-giving
drugs of the Lotus-Eaters, rescued
them from the cannibalism of the
Cyclops Polyphemus on the Hidden
Isle. He survived the enchantments of
Sersi, an Eternal who temporarily
turned his crew into pigs, for which she
became famous in Greek mythology
as Circe.
He braved the terrors of Hades, the
Underworld with them, and while in the
land of the dead Hades allowed
Teiresias, Odysseus' mother, Ajax and
others to give him advice on his next
journey. With this newly acquired
knowledge, he steered them past the
perils of the Sirens and of Scylla and
Charybdis He could not save them
from their final folly, however, when
they violated divine commandments by
slaughtering and eating the cattle of
the sun-god. As a result of this rash
act, Odysseus' ship was destroyed by
a thunderbolt, and only Odysseus
himself survived. He came ashore on
the island of the nymph Calypso, who
made him her lover and refused to let
him leave for seven years. When Zeus
finally intervened, Odysseus sailed
away on a small boat, only to be
shipwrecked by another storm. He
swam ashore on the island of the
Phaeacians, where he was
magnificently entertained and then, at
long last, escorted home to Ithaca.
There were problems in Ithaca as well,
however: During Odysseus' twenty-
year absence, his wife, Penelope, had
remained faithful to him, but she was
under enormous pressure to remarry.
A whole host of suitors were occupying
her palace, drinking and eating and
behaving insolently to Penelope and
her son, Telemachus. Odysseus
arrived at the palace, disguised as a
ragged beggar, and observed their
behavior and his wife's fidelity. With
the help of Telemachus and Laertes,
he slaughtered the suitors and
cleansed the palace. He then had to
fight one final battle, against the
outraged relatives of the men he had
slain; Athena intervened to settle this
battle, however, and peace was
restored.
Odysseus was eventually sent to
Olympus, where Ares started to like
him. He was killed during the war with
the armies of Mikaboshi.

Despite the hardships visited upon

History:
Orpheus was an Ancient Greek hero
endowed with superhuman musical
skills. He was the son of King Oeagrus
and Calliope of Thrace. Apollo gave
Orpheus his first lyre. Orpheus's
singing and playing were so beautiful
that animals and even trees and rocks

on hunting the Golden Fleece.
He later married Eurydice, but she was
killed by a snakebite. Overcome with
grief, Orpheus traveled to Hades, the

Orpheus, seeing the Sun again, turned
back to share his delight with Eurydice

Running Pandarus:
Pandarus, despite being a prince of
Lycia, was more of a follower than
much of a leader. He sold out the lives
of his men and the citizens of the city
of Troy for another year of the epic war
when Athena promised him 'glory and
Paris' thanks'.
History:
Pandarus was a prince of Lycia who
led the army to Troy against the
Argives during the Trojan War. In the
last year of the war, during a truce,
wishing to see Troy destroyed, Athena
swayed Pandarus to shoot an arrow at
Menelaus, promising him glory and
Paris' thanks. The arrow was deflected
by Thor's powers, but Agamemnon
declared the truce over due to that
"cowardly" act, while tre Trojans were
sorry but refused the insult.
The fighting resumed, and Aeneas
called for Pandarus to mount on his
chariot and attack the Argives
together. They spotted and targeted
Diomedes, mightiest Argive as Achilles
refused to battle. Diomedes being
protected and guided by Athena was
able to struck and killed Pandarus from
a javelin stroke between his eyes.
Feeling responsible, Aeneas rushed to
stand guard over Pandarus' body, but
was himself targeted by Diomedes,
only to be saved by the interventions
of his mother Aphrodite and of Ares.

Then, the Eternal sorcerer Sersi, under

There are people in life who
sometimes want more than they
should have and desire things so badly
they're willing to let others suffer just to
get them. The greed and lust of Paris
of Troy is the reason for the Trojan
War.
History:
Paris, (Greek: “Defender”) also called
Alexandros, in Greek legend, son of
King Priam of Troy and his wife,
Hecuba. A dream regarding his birth
was interpreted as an evil portent, and
he was consequently expelled from his
family as an infant. Left for dead, he
was either nursed by a bear or found
by shepherds. He was raised as a
shepherd, unknown to his parents. As
a young man he entered a boxing
contest at a Trojan festival, in which he
defeated Priam’s other sons. After his
identity was revealed, he was received
home again by Priam. The “judgment
of Paris” was and continues to be a
popular theme in art. According to
legend, Paris, while he was still a
shepherd, was chosen by Zeus to
determine which of three goddesses
was the most beautiful. Rejecting
bribes of kingly power from Hera and
military might from Athena, he chose
Aphrodite and accepted her bribe to
188
help him win the most beautiful woman
alive. His seduction of Helen (the wife
of Menelaus, king of Sparta) and
refusal to return her was the cause of
the Trojan War. During the war Paris
seems to have had a secondary role: a
good warrior but inferior to his brother
Hector and to the Greek leaders whom
he faced. Menelaus would have
defeated Paris in single combat, but
Aphrodite rescued him, and the war
continued.
Near the end of the war, Paris shot the
arrow that, by Apollo’s help, caused
the death of the hero Achilles. Paris
himself, soon after, received a fatal
wound from an arrow shot by the rival
archer Philoctetes.

Running Patroclus:
Patroclus was a brave and skilled
warrior who followed his cousin
Achilles, his friend and his "first
soulmate" into battle.
History:
Patroclus was the cousin of Achilles,
his friend and his "first soulmate". He
was among the Argives who went to
Troy to fight the Trojan War. After
Achilles acquired Briseïs as a slave
(after having killed his husband King
Mynes of Lurnessus), he tasked
Patroclus to take her to their camp and
treat her well. As Achilles had
retreated for months from the
battlefield after a quarrel with
Agamemnon (who had claimed Briseïs
as his own), Patroclus donned his
armor. Leading the Argive host, he
was feared by the Trojans who
believed him to be Achilles, until
Hector slew him. Achilles then
returned to kill Hector. Patroclus was
mourned by Achilles and Ajax, who
were there cut from the battle's tumult
where the Amazons and Trojans led
by Penthesilea were rampaging the
Argives' ranks. They eventually heard
it and left Patroclus' grave. He
eventually reached Olympus.
Patroclus was among the heroes to
oppose Amatsu-Mikaboshi's attacks on
Olympus. As the Olympians assaulted
Japan's hell to retrieve Ares' son from
Mikaboshi, Achilles and Patroclus
battled. They tried to assist Hercules
after he was attacked by a centipede-
like beast, but were ineffective. They
were finally saved by the timely arrival
of the Eastern Gods.

Running Perseus:
Perseus was brave and curious,
wanting to know where it was that he
came from and what his fate in life
would be. Once given the task of
slaying the Medusa he undertook the
assignment without fail.
History:
He was the son of the Argive princess
Danae who was locked away in a
bronze chamber by her father Acrisius
who lived in fear of a prophecy that he
would one day be killed by her son.
The god Zeus, however, infiltrated her
prison in the guise of a golden shower
and impreganted her. When Akrisios
discovered the child, he placed the two
in a chest and set them adrift at the
sea. They were carried safely to the
island of Seriphos where they were
offered refuge by the kindly, fisherman
Diktys. When Perseus was fully grown,
King Polydectes commanded he fetch
the head of Medusa. With the help of
the gods, Perseus obtained winged
sandals, an invisible helm and a
magical sword. He then sought out the
ancient Graeae and stealing their
single eye compelled them to reveal
the location of the Gorgones. Perseus
approached Medousa as she slept and
beheaded her with eyes averted to
avoid her petrifying visage.
On his journey back to Greece,
Perseus came across the Ethiopian
princess Andromeda chained to a rock
as a sacrifice to a sea-monster. He
slew the beast and brought her with
him back to Greece as his bride. Upon
reaching Seriphos, the hero turned
King Polydektes to stone, and then
travelled on to his grandfather's
kingdom to claim the throne. The old
man fled in fear for his life but was
later accidentally killed by Perseus at
the funeral games of a king with a
discus throw gone awry. Perseus was
the ancestor of the royal houses of
Mycenae, Elis, Sparta, Messenia, and
distant Persia. His most famous
descendant was Hercules.

History:
Priam, in Greek mythology, the last
king of Troy. He succeeded his father,
Laomedon, as king and extended
Trojan control over the Hellespont. He
married first Arisbe, a daughter of
Merops the seer, and then Hecuba,
and he had other wives and
concubines. He had 50 sons,
according to Homer’s Iliad, and many
daughters. Hecuba bore 19 of the
sons, including Priam’s favourites,
Hector and Paris. Homer described
Priam at the time of the Trojan War as
an old man, powerless but kindly, not
even blaming Helen, the wife of Paris,
for all his personal losses resulting
from the war. In the final year of the
conflict, Priam saw 13 sons die: the
Greek warrior Achilles killed
Polydorus, Lycaon, and Hector within
one day. The death of Hector, which
signified the end of Troy’s hopes, also
broke the spirit of the king. Priam’s
paternal love impelled him to brave the
savage anger of Achilles and to
ransom the corpse of Hector; Achilles,
respecting the old man’s feelings and
foreseeing his own father’s sorrows,
returned the corpse. When Troy fell,
Neoptolemus, the son of Achilles,
butchered the old king on an altar.

Running Prometheus:
Prometheus cares for others and at
one time doted on humanity taking on
something of a grandfatherly attitude
with them teaching them and giving
them the gift of fire.
History:
Prometheus is one of the Titans of
Greek Mythology and the son of
Iapetus. His siblings included Atlas,
Menoetius, and Epimetheus. When
their uncle Cronus' rule was
challenged by Zeus, Prometheus and
Epimetheus sided with the Olympians
while Atlas and Menoetius sided with
Cronus. With the help of Prometheus
and Epimetheus, the Olympians
defeated the Titans. Prometheus and
Epimetheus took an interest in
mankind and became the joint rulers in
Phthia. Prometheus has taken in
191
interest in the humans and later
learned various skills from Athena that
started to get Zeus concerned. When
Prometheus took fire from the Gods
and taught the humans how to cook,
Zeus had Kratos and Bia bind
Prometheus to a pillar in the
Caucasian Mountains using chains
that were forged by Hephaestus. Zeus
also had an eagle peck out
Prometheus' liver which grew back
every night. Zeus did offer to shorten
his life of being chained to a pillar if he
would give him the vision of the
prophecy that would one day dethrone
Zeus. Seven generations later,
Hercules came across Prometheus
during his 12 Labors when on his way
to the Amazons. Hercules killed the
eagle and then freed Prometheus.
Zeus was at first against this, but
decided to end Prometheus'
punishment. Prometheus foresaw this
event and vows to repay Hercules one
day.
In the modern era, Hercules was badly
injured in a fight with Baron Helmut
Zemo's Masters of Evil where Black
Mamba drugged Hercules causing him
to foolishly charge into battle. When
Zeus, who was unaware that the
Masters of Evil were responsible for
Hercules ending up in a coma, had
Neptune abduct Namor and bring him
to the Underworld, Prometheus
managed to heal Namor after he
escaped Cerberus and barely made it
across the Phlegathon River. He then
directed Namor to where the other
Avengers were being held which
happened to be the Garrison of the
Accursed at Fortress Tartarus. After
the Avengers made their way to Mount
Olympus, Prometheus spoke to them
while they were in the woods. When
Zeus caught up to the Avengers while
Doctor Druid was healing Hercules'
brain, Prometheus then declares that
the battle between man and gods has
begun. While Zeus continues his fight
with the Avengers, Hera sided with
Prometheus and Hermes. Prometheus
healed Captain America and Doctor
Druid before proceeding to try his luck
into healing Hercules where Doctor
Druid and Apollo had failed. Under the
advice of Hermes, Prometheus called
upon Gaea's help to do so while Thor
and Captain Marvel continued their
fight with Zeus. When Captain Marvel
attempted to attack Zeus, the blinding
light she gave off distracted
Prometheus which caused Hercules to
be revived in a state of paranoia where
he attacked Prometheus. Luckily for
Prometheus, Doctor Druid managed to
fully heal Hercules' mind. After Zeus'
attack was halted, Prometheus arrived
showing signs of aging with some of
his hair turning white. Prometheus
then attended a reception on Mount
Olympus. Before teleporting the
Avengers away, Prometheus warned
the Avengers that there will be many
challenges to come to them and that
mankind will be sorely tested on one of
them.

other Titans were freed by Zeus, in his
effort to overthrow Cronus. Sibylla was
later sought by Bellona, seeking a
challenge that would exalt her beyond
her brother Ares in the eyes of Zeus.
Sibylla shared with Bellona that the
young sorcerer Kyllian would provide
her the challenge needed to
accomplish her goals. After her plan
failed, Bellona returned distraught at
the seer, asking her if she foresaw that
the plan would fail. Sibylla, confirmed
her suspicions and asked Bellona if
she would like see the new visions of
her future. Bellona emphatically
declined the offer exclaiming that she

Running Sisyphus:
Sisyphus is a cunning trickster who
trapped death and tricked the gods.
Unfortunately he was punished by
Zeus for his mockery.
History:
Sisyphus was the son of Aeolus and
Enarete, and the king of Corinth. He
was called the father of Odysseus
through his seduction of Anticleia;
cunning obviously provided the link
between them. Sisyphus was the
reputed founder of the Isthmian
Games. Later legend related that when
Death came to fetch him, Sisyphus
chained him up so that no one died
until Ares came to aid Death, and
Sisyphus had to submit. In the
meantime, Sisyphus had told his wife,
Merope, not to perform the usual
sacrifices and to leave his body
unburied. Thus, when he reached the
underworld he was permitted to return
to punish her for the omission. Once
back at home, he continued to live to a
ripe old age before dying a second
time.
He eventually died at some point in
unrevealed circumstances. As one of
Zeus' most hated, he was sent to
Tartarus where he was punished by
being forced to roll an immense
boulder up a hill, only to watch it roll
back down, repeating this action for
eternity, a punishment that kept on in
the modern era. When Hercules came
to Tartarus to save his father from
Pluto, Pluto threatened to have his
step-father Amphitryon to forever
dangle by Sisyphus' loins. The same
day, the fight between Hercules and
his shade caused the destruction of
Sisyphus' stone, making him believe
he was set him free, only to see a new
rock magically appear before him.
During the Chaos War, when the
Chaos King assaulted Hell, Sisyphus
was asked by Daimon Hellstrom to
clear them a path out of Hell.

Contacts:
His leaders and soldiers.
Running Tantalus:
Tantalus was a mad-man willing to cut
up and feed his own child to the gods
in an effort to appease them with his
sacrifice. Instead he just gained their
anger.
History:
Tantalus was the son of Zeus and the
nymph Plouto in Greek mythology,
who was punished after death in
Tartarus. With his wife, who may have
been Dione, Taygete, Eurythemista, or
Euryanassa, he fathered Pelops,
Niobe and Broteas. Thus, through
Pelops, he was the predecessor of the
House of Atreides, as his grandson
was Atreus, and his great-grandsons
were Agamemnon and Menelaus.
Tantalus was welcomed in the table of
the Olympians; however, he stole
ambrosia, thinking he could take it
back to his people, in order to make
them immortal and reveal the divine
secrets. He later decided to sacrifice
his son to his gods; so, he cut Pelops
in pieces, and served him to the gods.
The gods realized what happened and
did not eat at all; only Demeter, who
was upset by her daughter's abduction
by Hades, took a bite of Pelops'
shoulder. When it was revealed what
had happened, Zeus told Clotho, one
of the three Fates, to bring the boy
back to life, and the missing part of his
shoulder was replaced by an ivory
piece forged by Hephaestus.
Tantalus was thrown out of Olympus
and after he died he was punished for
eternity; he was made to stand in a
pool of water, right under the branches
of a fruit tree. However, when he tried
to reach for a fruit, the branches would
go higher and out of reach, while when
he tried to drink a sip of water, the
waters of the pool would recede.

any other action in a round he shields.
Talents:

Greek and Latin, since the modern age
he has learned English and some
Russian.
Contacts:
The Olympian gods, Hercules,
Beowulf, Gilgamesh and Hermes.
Running Theseus:
Theseus craves excitement and
adventure, he goes to great length to
sleep with others if he finds them
remotely attractive.
History:
Theseus was born and raised in
Athens in Ancient Greece, by King
Aegeus and Queen Aethra, although
his real father was secretly Poseidon,
god of the Sea. His most famous
exploit was against the Minotaur of the
Labyrinth. Theseus insisted on being
one of the seven youths and seven
maidens of Athens to be sacrificed to
the monster as an annual tribute. He
promised his father that if he were
successful in killing the Minotaur he
would on his return voyage replace his
ship's black sails with white ones.
Ariadne, daughter of King Minos, fell in
love with Theseus and gave him a
magic ball of thread to be dropped at
the entrance of the labyrinth; it led
Theseus to the Minotaur, which he
killed, and he then followed the
unwound thread back to the entrance.
He left Crete with Ariadne but
abandoned her at Naxos. When
Theseus reached home he forgot to
raise white sails. Aegeus saw black
sails, and, thinking his son dead, the
grief-stricken father threw himself into
the sea, thereafter called the Aegean
Sea. As king of Athens, Theseus
instituted several reforms, most
notably the federalization of the
scattered Attic communities. Theseus
was imprisoned in Hades until
Hercules rescued him in his Final
Labor, battling Cerberus. He made a
reputation of "charming everything on
the planet out of their winged sandals
and into his bed", hinting he may have
had intercourse with Hermes. During
his adventures, he also developed an
antagonistic relationship with Beowulf.
Theseus was among the heroes
present at Olympus to fight off the
armies of Mikaboshi. As Hercules
wished to assemble warriors to
confront the Uprising Storm, a group of
new Gods seeking to destroy the gods
of old, Gilgamesh worried to be unfit
and proposed to call Theseus, Beowulf
or Rostam instead. Later, while
breaking in the private collection of
oligarch and arms Dealer Pavel Urza
in Russia, Theseus was contacted on
his cellphone by Hercules to join his
team the Gods of War to oppose the
194
Uprising Storm. The phone-call having
exposed him to the guards of the
collection, he escaped.
He met with the Gods of War:
Gilgamesh of Sumer, Tiresias the
Seer, Ire of the Stone Age, and newly
called-for-help as well Beowulf, Sigurd
and Lorelei. Before the meeting could
end the Uprising Storm attacked. As
Beowulf battled Catastrophobia but
was no match for the new god,
Theseus shot Catastrophobia with a
rifle, believing he saved Wulfie's life,
but the new god just stood back up. As
Cryptomnesia activated a mark on
Hercules, rendering him berserk and
turning him into the Storm's God of
Chaos, all the Gods of War were
forced to stop the fight to restrain their
leader, with Theseus being stuck by
him.

Cursed II: For the crime of killing two
snakes, Hera transformed him from a
man into a woman granting him/her a
long life despite being just human.
Talents:
Animal Handling. Tiresias is fluent in
Ancient Greek, English and Latin.
Contacts:
Tiresias had made peace with the
changes in his/her life and is on
friendly terms with Hercules.
Running Tiresias:
Tiresias is something of a partygoer
and has long since settled into his/her
changes in life. He/she dispenses
knowledge when asked, but rarely
does so without an inquiry.
History:
Tiresias was born and raised in the city
of Thebes in ancient Greece. He was
the son of a shepherd and a Nymph.
Tiresias was travelling one day and
found a pair of snakes in his path and
killed them. Hera was angry at his
action and decided to change his sex.
As a woman, Tiresias served as a
priestess of Hera. He/she once
stumbled upon goddess Athena while
she was bathing; as a result, the
goddess decided to blind him/her. His
mother begged Athena to lift the curse,
but she refused to. Instead, she
opened Tiresias' ears so he might hear
all the whispers of the Gods. This two
curses/gifts gave him/her a greater
perspective of the world. After the
young baby Hercules killed the two
snakes sent to kill him his parents
Amphitryon and Alcmena went to
Tiresias for advice. He revealed the
truth of Hercules true parentage and
that Zeus created him to be the
champion of mankind. He saw his
many future battles including one
against the Hulk.
When Tiresias died His/Hers soul went
to Hades, the Underworld, where he
was visited by Odysseus who was on
his ten year journey home known as
the Odyssey. He gave him advice on
how to continue on his voyage to
Ithaca. At some point she returned to
the land of the living an immortal
prophet. In 1782, he/she crashed at
Mozart's place during the time "Die
Entführung aus dem Serail" had just
opened with rave review. She enjoyed
his many parties. During the late 19th
Century she got locked in the meat
locker of famed French chef and
restaurateur Auguste Escoffier. She
had never enjoyed such a good meal
in all her long life. During the 1970's
Tiresias lived in England where he/she
picked up a cockney accent. He/she
was in the studio when David Bowie
recorded the "Low Album".
In the modern era he/she moved to the
United States of America and opened
a clock repair shop in New York City.
He/she lived there with her dog Alfred
Lord Tennyson. Hercules went to meet
with Tiresias to ask for help and
information of the Uprising Storm.
He/she told him she would investigate,
but as he left he warned him about
some "Lads" being in town and he
would meet them in Central Park. As
he/she was investigating the Uprising
Storm they arrived the clock repair
shop. He/she was beaten half to death
and when Hercules came to visit
him/her in the hospital he/she told him
she saw a vision. Just before the
Uprising attacked her. She said
Athena had come to claim him and
take him back to Olympus. Telling him
his long tenure on Earth was over. The
world was changing and there's no
place in it for you anymore.
Horrorscope came to the hospital to
finish her off but was interrupted by
Sophia who had come for a visit.
Horrorscope took the form of doctor
and left them in peace. Hercules
invited Tiresias and the others back to
his apartment where they shared
dinner together toasting the battle. She
shared her many stories of the famous
people she had met in her long life.
After another defeat in battle, Tiresias
and the others convinced Hercules to
form a team of godly heroes to defeat
the new gods. Hercules contacted his
friends from across the globe for a
meeting of the "Gods of War". He
brought them to New York City to
battle the Uprising Storm. But before
the meeting could end the Uprising
Storm attacked.

of Poseidon. The goddess Hera
reputedly encouraged him to rape the
goddess Leto as she was traveling to
Delphi. Slain by Apollo and Artemis for
the insult to their mother, he was after
death stretched over nine acres in the

up such insanity. Unfortunately,
Typhon managed to free himself from
her control and betrayed her to fulfill
his purpose to slay all of the Gods of
Olympus, slaying both her and Zeus

Running Typhon:

That was his sole motivation and
desire.

History:
Typhon was the last of the Titans who
opposed Zeus' rule over Mount
Olympus. Typhon lost the final battle
against Zeus was banished from
Olympus and swore vengeance. The
mortals would know about this battle
as a myth but mistakenly they thought
that Typhon had one hundred
draconian heads. In the 20th century,
Typhon returned to Olympus and
destroyed the Temple of the
Promethean Flame, which caused all
Olympians to be transported to the
Land of Shades. He was confronted
and defeated by Hercules and the
Avengers. The Olympians were
restored and Zeus banished Typhon to
eternal condemnation in Hades. After
Zeus' death at the hands of
Mikaboshi's, Hera inherited his
thunderbolt and position as ruler of the
Olympians, promising a new era to her
race. During that time, she led a
business corporation known as the
Olympus Group with Typhon serving
as her loyal bodyguard and sexual
lover under control by Pluto.
Ultimately, her ambition grew to the
point that she tried to recreate a new
universe and destroy the old one with
the Continuum, but while resurrected

Running Cerberus:
Despite appearances, Cerberus is not
a bloodthirsty, unintelligent creature. It
uses guile and its appearance as a
mere 3-headed dog to keep people
unaware of the intelligent being it is.
History:
Cerberus is descended from Typhon,
creator of storms, and the serpent
goddess Echidna, daughter of
Callirrhoe and Chrysaor, a giant who
was son of Poseidon and Medusa. The
children of Typhon and Echidna were
a mixture of creatures similar to
animals (legend says this was due to a
curse sent by a goddess). Cerberus
soon was left by his parents; Typhon
197
was imprisoned in Mount Aetna after
his insolent rebellion against the
Olympians, and Echidna marched to
Libya, where she kidnapped children
to feed to Cerberus and his brothers.
Finally, she was assassinated by
Argus, a giant. Cerberus was later
used, by Hades, God of the
Underworld, to maintain order in his
kingdom after the Titans were
defeated. Cerberus assassinated
Keres, an old spirit who punished and
terrified the dead, and later occupied
its place at the doors of Hades, taking
on his mission: to prevent those who
entered from leaving, and send the
living back to the world above. Few
have managed to leave Hades without
the permission of Cerberus; among
them is Orpheus' who, after returning
from his adventures with the
Argonauts, discovered that his beloved
Eurydice was dead, and went to
Hades to rescue her. He confronted
Cerberus, but, with his music, Orpheus
mesmerized the guardian of Hades,
and gained access to the netherworld.
As part of his Twelve Labors Hercules
was sent to capture and bring back
Cerberus, the three-headed guard dog
of the underworld, without using
weapons. Hercules wrestled down the
dog's wild heads, and it agreed to go
with him to King Eurystheus. Cerberus
was soon returned unharmed to the
underworld.
When Thor was transported to Hades
by Pluto he was is confronted with the
first of many battles: With the being
known as Cerberus. This a battle
easily won by Thor who manages to
overpower the creature. Pluto sent
Cerberus to attack the Champions. He
encountered Ghost Rider on the UCLA
campus. The two battled and Ghost
Rider threw a little hellfire before
deciding he isn't up to the task and left.
When they X-Men were in "Hell" they
descend deeper into the Inferno, on
the third level they are attacked by
Cerberus, whom Wolverine and
Colossus managed to fight off into
fleeing. Cerberus confronted Ka-Zar
and his friends when they tried to enter
the Underworld. Namor is captured by
Neptune and brought to Hades. He
escapes from the clutches of Cerberus
and with the help of a mysterious
stranger is led to the Fortress Tartarus
where he frees the captive Avengers.
They then free Thor from Pluto's mercy
and attempt to leave Hades on the
Pathway of Infinity. Pluto destroys the
bridge and the Avengers prepare to
make their stand. Namor was captured
by Poseidon and brought to Hades. He
escaped from the clutches of Cerberus
and with the help of a mysterious
stranger is led to the Fortress Tartarus.
Pluto lost ownership of Cerberus to
Hela the ruler of the Norse after life
Hel. She used him as her guard dog
for some time. He was present when
Doctor Strange asked for passage
through her realm. Hela stated that
she would return Cerberus back to
Hades in her own time. Cerberus now
back with Hades allowed Ares by
when he went to meet Pluto, in hopes
of forming an alliance against Thor
during a time when he was suffering
from madness.
Hades recruited Hrinmeer and sent
him on the back of Cerberus to kill
Thor but he failed. The Puppy
teleported the Fantastic Four to
Tartarus where they fight through to
where Caledonia was being held
prisoner. However before they could
free her, Hades unleashed Cerberus
who later joined by Hippolyta who was
commanding the forces of Tartaurus.
Although they are greatly outnumbered
they held their own, impressed Hades
let them leave in peace. When
Hercules was tasked with a new
Twelve Labors King Eurystheus told
Hercules that he must travel to Hades
and retrieve a flower from his wife,
whom Hercules had murdered. He and
the crew traveled to the River Styx.
Now in Hades he knocked out
Cerberus and went through the gate.
Hades decided to change Erebus the
gateway to the underworld to a casino
called Stygia based in Atlantic City.
The once mighty Cereberus was
reduced to a sideshow attraction to
entertain the guest and waiting souls.
Cerberus was one of the many
warriors sent to kill for Rahne Sinclair's
child. Werewolf by Night battled
Cerberus while Rahne fled in a car.

Running the Charybdis:
Charybdis is bitter and angry over her
transformation, she destroys ships or
sailors who get close enough to her.
History:
Charybdis was born as the daughter of
Poseidon and Gaia, and faithfully
served her father as the goddess of
the tides. She aided him in his feud
with Zeus by helping him engulf lands
and entire islands in water. Angry over
the land she had stolen from him, Zeus
cursed Charybdis into the form of a
monster like a bladder, with flippers for
arms and legs, and an unquenchable
thirst for the sea. This forced her to
drink the water of the sea three times a
day in an effort to sate her thirst, only
to belch it back out, creating enormous
whirlpools in the process. Living under
a rock, Charybdis stayed on one end
of a narrow channel, with another
198
monster, Scylla, living across from her
on the opposite side, forming a strait.
The sides of the strait were within an
arrow shot of each other, and any
sailors attempting to avoid the reach of
one of them would be unable to avoid
that of the other. "Between Scylla and
Charybdis" thereby became a phrase
referring to having to choose between
two dangers, either of which would
bring harm.

Running the Centaurs:
The Centaurs are often tribal like in the

History:
Centaurs, Kentauros in Greek, are
half-human, half-horse creatures in
Greek mythology. They have the body
of a horse and the torso, head and
arms of a man. They were considered
to be the children of Ixion, king of the
Lapiths, and Nephele, a cloud made in
the image of Hera. Nessus was a
centaur who worked as a ferryman for
the River Evenus. He kidnapped
Hercules' second wife Deianira,
whereupon Hercules shot him with an
arrow. Feigning a wish to make
amends, the dying centaur told
Deianeira how to make a love charm
from his allegedly enchanted blood,
aware that it was now tainted with the
lethal poison of the Hydra, in which
Hercules had dipped his arrows. When
Deianeira rubbed the supposed love
charm into Hercules' shirt, she
inadvertently caused Hercules' mortal
demise, granting Nessus his late
revenge.
The Centaurs were later banished
from Earth to the land of the centaurs
in the dimension of Olympus. The
human offspring of a centaur killed
himself when his curiosity about why
his father never came out from behind
a locked door got the better of him.
During Thor's first visit to Olympus, he
witnessed a centaur entertaining itself

Running the Giants:
The giants are savage tribal creatures
who prefer uncooked and often raw
fresh meat to eat.
History:
The Giants of Olympus are based on
the Giants of Greek Mythology. As in
the Greek myths, Gaea fertilized them
from the blood of Uranus. Following
the defeat of the Titans, Gaea sought
for a way to make the Giants immortal
like the Olympians. To keep Gaea
from finding a solution to this, Zeus
withheld Helios, Eos, and Selene from
the night sky so that Gaea wouldn't
find it. The Giants were prophesied by
the female Titan Themis to be
indestructible and could not be killed
by a god or an immortal. Zeus
obtained the help of his son Hercules
to help fight them. Each of the Giants
were killed in the similar way as in the
actual Greek mythology.
In recent years, a blind Giant named
Zeno and a one-armed giant named
Callias encountered Hulk near the
entrance to Tartarus where they held a
meal to honor their brethren that are
imprisoned there. They shared their
meal with Hulk until it was interrupted
by an attack from Ares. This attack
ended up causing Hulk to attack Mount
Olympus upon Hulk being convinced
by Zeno and Callias that the Olympian
Gods were his enemies. Callias and
Zeno rallied the Giants into breaking
the seal on Tartarus which ended up
freeing Cronus. Cronus, Callias, and
Zeno then stormed Mount Olympus
only to end up fighting Hulk and
Hercules. Hercules managed to slay
Callias and Zeno before resealing
Tartarus after throwing Cronus back
into Tartarus.
Some years later, Hulk was invited to
Mount Olympus as a guest of the
Olympians. He and Hercules later took
a path where they ended up fighting
some Giants.

Running Gorgons:
Gorgons can be petty and vindictive.
They gather victims, like little girls
gather dolls to play with. All of them
hate Athena with a passion that can't
be denied.
History:
Gorgons are humanoids with hideous,
broad-headed monsters with wild
eyes, lolling tongues, wide mouths with
enormous, gnashing teeth, clawed
hands. They are one of the many
mystically race created by the
Olympians. Stheno, Euryale and
Medusa, were the children of the
ancient Titans Phorcys and Ceto. After
the Olympians' triumphed over the
Titans, the Gorgons became
priestesses of Athena and took a vow
of celibacy. Eventually Medusa broke
the vow and ultimately gave birth to
Poseidon's son, Cyclops. Athena
found out that Medusa have broken
the vow and disgraced the goddess'
temple. She transformed the Gorgon
sisters into scaly hags with snakes for
hair.
Perseus was tasked with retrieving
Medusa head to slay the Kraken. He
prayed to Athena and Hermes for help,
they gifted him; the Sandals of
Hermes; winged sandals to fly him to
the end of the world, the Helmet of
Hades which turned the wearer
invisible and Athena's sword and
mirrored shield. He used the helmet to
sneak by the other Gorgons and when
he confronted Medusa, he used the
shield allow him to see a reflection of
Medusa’s face and to avoid being
turned into stone. He eventually sliced
her head off and flew back and
escaped Medusa's sisters who tried to
reach him. Perseus used Medusa's
head as a weapon to defeat the
Kraken. He later gave the head to
Athena to place it on her shield.
The Gorgons fled Olympus to Earth to
live in isolation while petrifying
unknowing victims, literally. All their
descendants bore the same curse
creating a mythical species of
Gorgons. After Medusa's death, her
daughter relocated to subterranean
world below Athens - Medusa-Land.
Medusa's daughter, who took her
mother's name, became the ruler of
the city. Her descendants, each took
the name Medusa and ruled the city
after the deaths of their mothers.
Generations later King Kreon of Pylos
sent Hercules to retrieve the gold of
Medusa from the Isle of Fear. On the
island he encountered Medusa, alive
and well, concealing her face behind a
hood. Hercules and the Argonauts
ended up slaying her once again. With
Medusa's death, Jason and all her
prior victims reverted back to flesh.
During the early part of the 20th
century, Medusa somehow turned up
alive again in the 1920's, as a famous
photographer named "May Dusa".
During the same era Professor
Lansing discovered the Medusa-Land
and attempted an expedition to
discover its riches. Sometime later
Medusa moved to Paris, France with a
blind man from Greece, her husband.
He wins an art competition by using
one of Medusa's victims as an art
piece. At some event Medusa or one
of her descendants became
imprisoned by a curio shop owner. A
robber was turned to stone upon
discovering Medusa behind a vault
door. The shop owner placed the
criminal's stone body in his shop.
Sometime later, a customer wanted to
know the story behind the "statue", and
the owner told him; the customer did
not believe him, but when the owner
challenged him to open the door
himself, he fled in terror, convinced.
Years later Mr. and Mrs. Grey bought
the cursed European castle with
Medusa imprisoned inside. Mr. Grey
unknowingly released Medusa from
her prison, but she failed to turn to
stone. Thinking that her own curse had
been somehow lifted, she looked at
herself in the mirror turning herself to
stone. In modern times the head of
Medusa was found in an
archaeological dig in Greece by Mr.
Collins. He held on to the head for
many decades, until it was stolen from
him by. Mr. Collins hired Moon Knight
to recover the head of Medusa.
Spector managed to recover the head
but in a petrified state. Medusa was
brought back to life via the Hand's
resurrection ritual alongside with
number of Ancient Greek monsters to
be used by Matsu'o Tsurayaba against
Wolverine and Hercules. Medusa's
attack was unsuccessful and resulted
in beheading. Ironically enough, her
head was uses as a weapon against
another resurrected Ancient Greek
monstrosity, the Kraken.

History:
THE HARPYIAI (Harpies) were the
daimones of sudden, sharp gusts of
wind. They were known as the hounds
of Zeus and were dispatched by the
god to snatch away (harpazô) people
and things from the earth. Sudden,
mysterious disappearances were often
attributed to the Harpyiai. The Harpyiai
were once sent by Zeus to plague King
Phineus of Thrace as punishment for
revealing the secrets of the gods.
204
Whenever a plate of food was set
before him, the Harpyiai would swoop
down and snatch it away, befouling
any scraps left behind. When the
Argonauts came to visit, the winged
Boreades gave chase, and pursued
the Harpies to the Strophades Islands,
where the goddess Iris commanded
them to turn back and leave the storm-
spirits unharmed. The Harpyiai were
depicted as winged women,
sometimes with ugly faces, or with the
lower bodies of birds.
A group of Harpies attacked the
campus of UCLA and fought the

Running the Minotaur:
The Minotaur is a vicious, dedicated
hunter. He enjoys stalking his prey,
taking the time to savor their fear and
the hunt he is undertaking.
History:
The Minotaur was the offspring of the
Queen Pasiphae and the Bull of
Poseiden. Her husband, King Minos,
had been given control of the oceans
around Crete by the divine right of the
sea-god Poseiden (Neptune). To show
his appreciation, Minos promised to
sacrifice the first bull he saw to the
sea-god, knowing full well that he did
not have one. Poseiden then allowed
one to appear, a great white one, but
Minos kept it as a gift to himself rather
than sacrifice it as promised. Angered,
Poseiden instructed Eros, the god of
love, to smite Pasiphae with a love for
the great bull. She instructed
Daedalus, the royal artisan, to create a
hollow wooden cow that she could
enter to admire the bull up close. From
within it, she became pregnant by the
bull which was later captured as the
seventh labor of Hercules and taken to
Greece.
In the beginning, Pasiphae believed
the child she conceived was Minos'
and named it Asterion after Minos'
step-father (actually, Minos' true father
was Zeus, , Lord of the gods.) Young
Asterion however, was born deformed
and slowly grew up to resemble a bull.
He never learned to talk, possessed a
brutal, more animalistic amount of
strength and an intelligence slightly
higher than most animals. When Minos
learned Asterion's true origin, he
locked the freakish monster in the
catacombs under the castle, and then
commissioned Daedalus to further
expand the catacombs into a maze so
that Asterion, now known as the
Minotaur, could not escape.
For several years in his war with the
Athenians, Minos used the maze of
catacombs, now known as the
labyrinth, to imprison his enemies for
the Minotaur to kill at his leisure. When
King Aegeus of Athens killed Minos'
son Androgeus, Minos vengefully
forced Athens to pay him an annual
tribute of seven youths and seven
maidens. These he shut in inside the
labyrinth, where they either starved or
were devoured by the Minotaur.
Meanwhile, the legend of the Minotaur
spread far throughout ancient Greece,
but no one knew of its origins.

History:
Sirens or naiads are beautiful yet
dangerous creatures without souls,
who lured nearby sailors with their
enchanting music and voices to
shipwreck on the rocky coast of their
island. They are the offspring of
Phorcys and Ceto. They were
imprisoned by Demeter on
Anthemoessa, in Italy. On Odysseus'
journey home to Ithaca from the Trojan
War he had to pass the island of the
Sirens. However he was curious as to
what the Sirens sang to him, and so,
on the advice of Circe, he had all of his
men plug their ears with beeswax and
tie him to the mast. He ordered his
men to leave him tied tightly to the
mast, no matter how much he would
beg. When he heard their beautiful
song, he ordered the sailors to untie
him but they bound him tighter. When
they had passed out of earshot,
Odysseus demonstrated with his

Hades:
Hades is the Olympian underworld, or
Realm of the Dead, where the spirits of
the Olympian gods and those of their
worshipers went to dwell after death.
Hades is actually a pocket dimension
accessible both from Earth and from
Olympus. Hades has typically been
ruled by Pluto (although others have
ruled the domain from time to time).
They then pass the guardian
Cerberus, who can take the form of a
gigantic humanoid warrior or of a
savage three-headed dog. The arriving
spirits pass through the dismal
Asphodel Fields to a section called
Erebus where the palace of Pluto and
Persephone stands.
Spirits usually arrive in Hades on the
border of the River Styx, which has as
its tributaries the rivers Acheron,
Cocytus, Aornis, the flaming river
Phlegethon, and Lethe, whose waters,
when drunk, induce loss of memory.
The ferryman Charon conveys the
arriving spirits across the Styx. Near
the Palace newly arrived spirits are
judged by the shades of the mortals
Aeacus, Minos, and Rhadamanthys,
and are then sent along three paths.
Those who were neither truly good nor
truly evil in life are sent on the road
back to the Asphodel Fields. Those
who were evil are condemned to
Tartarus, a dark place of terrible
punishments; where the Titan warriors
are confined. The virtuous travel the
path to Elysium, a beautiful and
peaceful realm where they dwell
happily. Elysium and Tartarus may be
