-> ''[[IAmVeryBritish You. Spilled. My.]]'' '''''[[SpotOfTea Tea]].'''''
Elsa is the daughter of Ulysses Bloodstone, an infamous [[HunterOfMonsters monster hunter]] in the Franchise/MarvelUniverse, whose {{super strength}} and {{immortality}} were derived from the mystical [[AmuletOfConcentratedAwesome Bloodgem]] embedded in his chest. Elsa's relationship with her father has been subject to {{continuity drift}}; while it was originally established that she never knew him prior to his death, later materials explicitly mention that he raised her to be a hunter like himself. Her nationality is also disputed; like ComicBook/EmmaFrost, she's ostensibly from UsefulNotes/{{Boston}}, but more recent appearances suggest an [[UsefulNotes/{{Britain}} English]] persona.
Nonetheless, Elsa's own path in life isn't dissimilar to her father's, becoming a prominent monster hunter in her adult years. At some point after Ulysses' death, Elsa came into the possession of a Bloodgem choker, effectively granting her the same powers as his --- but since her Bloodgem is worn externally, she's more susceptible to danger than he ever was.
Though Elsa first appeared in her own limited series, she's perhaps best known for costarring in Creator/WarrenEllis' ''ComicBook/{{Nextwave}}: Agents of H.A.T.E.'' alongside ComicBook/MonicaRambeau, the former Captain Marvel.
This series portrayed Elsa with a [[CharacterizationMarchesOn sharp change in personality]] from her initial characterization, not to mention completely changing her look. Originally a [[LongHairIsFeminine long-haired]] [[EveryoneLovesBlondes blonde]] prone to [[{{Stripperiffic}} skimpy]], Franchise/IndianaJones-esque clothing, the Elsa of ''Nextwave'' sports a [[FieryRedhead red]], {{tomboyish ponytail}} and {{badass longcoat}}. It's worth noting that ''Nextwave'''s level of canonicity [[LooseCanon has wavered back and forth]] since being published, but this new direction (and visual appearance) for the character has stuck with successive creators.
Elsa is one of the 142 superheroes who signed the [[ComicBook/CivilWar Superhuman Registration Act]], also becoming part of [[ComicBook/AvengersTheInitiative The Initiative]] in its wake. Outside of starring in a ''Legion of Monsters'' limited series opposite ComicBook/{{Morbius}} The Living Vampire some years later, Elsa fell a bit {{out of focus}} after the Civil War ended.
The ComicBook/MarvelNOW initiative brought Elsa back into some consciousness, joining the likes of [[ComicBook/TheMightyThor Valkyrie]], [[ComicBook/HeroesForHire Misty Knight]], and [[ComicBook/NewMutants Dani Moonstar]] in the ''Fearless [[ComicBook/TheDefenders Defenders]]'', which only lasted for a total of twelve issues before low sales resulted in its cancelation.
Elsa also appeared in the pages of ''ComicBook/AvengersArena'', where her younger brother Cullen starred as a primary character. In the time Elsa spent away from visibility, she became an instructor at the [[SuperheroSchool Braddock Academy]], where she enrolled Cullen as a student ... who'd just returned from a [[EldritchLocation hell dimension]] where an {{eldritch abomination}} [[DemonicPossession bonded with his soul]]. Because of this, she gave him a Bloodgem ring that he ''must'' wear at all times, or else he'll transform into the [[SuperpoweredEvilSide gigantic monster that possesses him]].
During the ''ComicBook/{{AXIS}}'' story, Elsa joined an unlikely team of [[ComicBook/TheAvengers Avengers]] formed by [[ComicBook/FantasticFour Valeria Richards]] and an inverted Doctor Doom. Shortly after her stint there, Earth-616 collided with [[ComicBook/UltimateMarvel Earth-1610]], [[ComicBook/SecretWars2015 thusly ending the Marvel Universe]].
Now living on [[PatchworkWorld Battleworld]] without any memories of her previous life, Elsa guarded [[TheGreatWall The Wall]], separating Battleworld from the zombie-infested Deadlands. As part of the ''Secret Wars'' event, Elsa headlines a ''ComicBook/MarvelZombies'' limited series, following her efforts to protect an orphan --revealed to be a younger version of herself-- who wanders into aforementioned Deadlands.
After the Marvel Universe was restored, Elsa joined ComicBook/AForce --the all-female team of ComicBook/{{Avengers}}-- during the [[ComicBook/CivilWarII second Civil War]], and showed up in the pages of ''ComicBook/MonstersUnleashed''.
----
* AbnormalAmmo: The various sorts of ammunition she uses are tailor made for killing monsters. From traditional silver bolts, to hellfire slugs, to behemoth busters, Elsa packs anything ''but'' normal rounds.
* AbusiveParents: Elsa's upbringing by Ulysses was fairly rough, and shown in detail via {{flashback}}s in ''Marvel Zombies''.
** PlayedForLaughs in Nextwave, although considering the above was after this book and surprisingly in line with it, maybe it shouldn't have been.
** ''Civil War: Damage Report'' reveals that while at least parts of the adventures of the Nextwave team were set in the main Marvel continuity, the others may have been delusions brought by constant use of drugs, mental conditioning and deceptions by their H.A.T.E. employers. This could mean that Elsa's memories of her father abusing her may not have been real as she was originally stated to not have even known him when she was growing up.
** It's also been shown that The Beyond Corporation can alter the history of those it ensnares. ''Nextwave'' was officially brought into continuity with the explanation it was a game Beyond were playing on Aaron, Tabitha, Monica and Elsa. It is entirely plausible, when dealing with malevolent {{cosmic| entities}} beings, that she didn't know her father growing up but retroactively remembers growing up with an abusive one.
* ActionGirl: She fights monsters!
* AmuletOfConcentratedAwesome: The Bloodgem in her choker grants her super-strength and immortality.
* BadassFamily: She's the daughter of an immortal monster hunter and sister of a possessed {{eldritch abomination}} -- not to mention a monster hunter in her ''own'' right.
* BareYourMidriff: She's often shown wearing short shirts in her current incarnation --- saying nothing of [[{{Stripperific}} the way she used to look]] before ''Nextwave''.
* {{BFG}}: Has a preference for these, which she describes with words such as "exquisite" and "phenomenal"
* BigSisterInstinct: She's fairly protective of Cullen, despite not being very favorable toward kids. She's also equally protective of [[Characters/MonstersUnleashed Kei Kawade]] despite only knowing him for a short period of time.
* BodyguardingABadass: Is hired to protect and train Kei Kawade, aka Kid Kaiju, who has a small team of monsters that can level cities at his disposal.
* ButNowIMustGo: She eventually deems Kei responsible enough to handle things on his own without someone to mind all of his activities after watching him and Aegis deal with an EldritchAbomination on their own. She isn't ''gone'' though, since she tells Kei that she'll be on call whenever she needs him, calling herself Kei's "mini Kaiju".
* CivvieSpandex: Elsa doesn't don a flashy costume like most heroes in the Marvel Universe, opting for a {{badass longcoat}} instead.
* CombatPragmatist: Is happy to use anything she gets her hands on in a fight, even if it isn't "fair".
-->'''Elsa:''' Excuse me, sweetie. ''[whacks Lady Hellbender with an alien hammer]'' But I'm done playing with you!\\
'''Lady Hellbender:''' Some... sort of atomic power hammer? That isn't fair... You ''cheated.''\\
'''Elsa:''' Oh, you ignorant space harpy. For monster hunters, cheating is closely related to ''survival rates.''
* {{Deuteragonist}}: Of ''ComicBook/MonstersUnleashed'', as she's the human with the most screentime after Kei himself.
* DisappearedDad: Whether or not she actually knew her father growing up, either explanation applies for this trope.
* {{Expy}}: She's often referred to as "Creator/{{Marvel}}'s [[Series/BuffyTheVampireSlayer Buffy]]", which many of her writers claim to not ''intentionally'' invoke.
* FieryRedhead: She's level-headed most of the time, but tick her off and she'll let you know who's boss.
-->'''Elsa:''' ''[holding Moloids by the neck]'' I'll ask you again--''nicely'' this time... '''WHO IS YOUR QUEEN!'''
* FightsLikeANormal: She definitely has superhuman strength and immortality, but she primarily brings all sorts of guns, crossbows, melee weapons, wooden stakes, and other monster hunting implements rather than her superpowers.
* GunsAkimbo: She sometimes does this with ''rifles''.
* IAmNotMyFather: As much as Elsa hates to admit it, much of Ulysses rubbed off on her.
* LockedIntoStrangeness: The Secret Wars Marvel Zombies tie-in shows that she was born blonde like her father, but it was dyed red by the blood of a qlippoth she killed that soaked into her scalp and caused an infection. She was forced to do so and told to lie to her mother about it by her father.
* MonsterCompendium: On her blog she seeks help in building one for monster hunters worldwide to reference.
* MostCommonSuperPower: She’s a super-heroine on the extremely busty side.
* NeverBringAKnifeToAFistFight: As Elsa once claimed, "Samurai robots beat guns, no question. So it's just me and a shovel."
* RaisedByRobots: Her father built a babysitter robot called "Hate Mother", which leaves very little to the imagination in regards to its personality.
* RapunzelHair: Even in a ponytail her hair is long enough to reach her thighs.
* ReviveKillsZombie: The Bloodstone's healing power means that any vampire who drinks Elsa's blood is cured of vampirism and becomes an ordinary human. [[AgeWithoutYouth And if they're thousands of years old...]]
* ShipTease: With, of all people, [[Characters/DeadpoolTheCharacter Deadpool.]]
* ShotgunsAreJustBetter: Her WeaponOfChoice, even if at time she wields Uzis or pistols instead.
* SirSwearsALot: Lampshaded by Nico Minoru during her appearance in ''ComicBook/AForce''.
* SpotOfTea: Even in the middle of the battlefield, she'll stop for tea. After all, Elsa is British!
* StatuesqueStunner: Elsa is a beautiful young woman who stands at 5' 9".
* {{Stripperific}}: Her pre-''Nextwave'' appearance wasn't very ... ''practical'' for a monster hunter, saying the least.
* SuperheroPackingHeat: Well, she's a monster hunter more than she is a superheroine, but she's happy to bring all sorts of firearms to a fight if they'll raise her chances of success and survival. Along with her firearms she has powers too such as super strength and regeneration.
* {{Tulpa}}: In ComicBook/SecretWars2015, [[spoiler:she meets the incarnation of her innocence, the her from a potential reality where she shaved her head and left her father. Said incarnation then [[FusionDance fuses]] with her, allowing her to use the Bloodstone to its full potential and cure both herself and her father of the zombie affliction]]
* YouAreBetterThanYouThinkYouAre: Gives this speech to Kei after [[spoiler:he accidentally summons Poison Fing Fang Foom into the Earth-616 reality and starts doubting himself over this failure.]]
-->'''Elsa:''' You're a ''right fool'', Kei Kawade. You should have told me about your worries before now. But you're '''not''' a monster. I've watched you save the world. You're a '''hero.'''\\
'''Kei:''' [[HeroicSelfDeprecation I thought I could control my powers... but I can't. And I can't be a hero if--]]\\
'''Elsa:''' So you failed. Join the club. I can't save '''every''' person on the planet from '''every''' vampire attack. That doesn't stop me from staking every bloodsucker I see. Do you think [[ComicBook/CarolDanvers Captain Bloody Marvel]] feels just peachy every time some disaster strikes in a place while she's saving lives in another? Heroes fall down, Kei... but they also get back up. Now--before that scaly behemoth tracks us down... summon those monsters of yours and let's '''end''' this.

'''Elsa:''' So you failed. Join the club. I can't save '''every''' person on the planet from '''every''' vampire attack. That doesn't stop me from staking every bloodsucker I see. Do you think [[ComicBook/CarolDanvers Captain Bloody Marvel]] feels just peachy every time some disaster strikes in a place while she's saving lives in another? Heroes fall down, Kei... but they also get back up. Now--before that scaly behemoth tracks us down... summon those monsters of yours and let's '''end''' this.
