A storm-giant/monster created by Gaea to avenge the defeat of the giants in the Gigantomachy by destroying the Olympians. He was defeated by Zeus thousands of years ago and imprisoned in Tartarus. Released to serve Hera, but still has his own agenda.

* BeardOfEvil: A full black beard and he's one of the most dangerous enemies of Olympus.
* TheDragon: To Hera.
* DragonWithAnAgenda: Still plans to carry out destruction of the Olympians and willing to kill any he can.
* TheDreaded: When first appeared he so scared the gods that all save Athena fled to Egypt and hid as animals.
* HatesEveryoneEqually: Created to exterminate the gods but has little to no love for mortal society and its colorful roster of heroes or villains. Almost gleefully exclaiming how beautiful the empty world created by Hera's DoomsdayDevice is without them in it is.
* HisOwnWorstEnemy: In one story, Typhon had gotten his battleaxe fused to his hand. He learns that "only the blood of your worst enemy can free you." Naturally, he assumes his hated foe Hercules is the one to go after, and spends most of the story futilely trying to make Hercules bleed. In the end, Typhon himself is cut, his blood flows over his hand and frees him from the axe. Sadly, [[IgnoredEpiphany he just doesn't get it]] and continues to be a hateful and revenge-obsessed person.

* OmnicidalManiac: Hijacking Hera's plan he would use Continuum to not only wipe out the gods but all existence as well.
* OneDegreeOfSeparation: His wife Echidna faced Hippolyta and the Fearless Defenders.
* OneWingedAngel: In ancient times was much more powerful and capable of matching Zeus. In modern times he has been reduced to a much weaker, but still very powerful form. He never does achieve his true power.
* PowerOfTheVoid: Can call fourth or banish entities from the land of shadows.
* RestrainingBolt: A bracelet to keep him from turning on Hera and killing her. [[spoiler: It eventually fails, and he does kill both her and Zeus.]]
* SelfDisposingVillain: Though this would also mean he'd be erased along with creation while set outside of the device. Seeing as his mission would finally be complete, he's perfectly okay with that.
* WeatherManipulation: Before he was locked into his power bind by Zeus, the titan monster could whip up all manor of atmospheric phenomena similar to his nemesis.
* WingedHumanoid: Minus the human part, his true form gives him batlike wings.

Killed by her own daughter Artume, she was eventually revived, joining the ComicBook/FearlessDefenders alongside Valkyrie.

* AlternateCompanyEquivalent: To Hippolyta of DC Comics. Also to her daughter Wonder Woman.

* AmazonBrigade: She's the ''Queen of the Amazons'', and not only she reforms her people, she joins the all-female Fearless Defenders.
* BackFromTheDead: She's brought back to life by Hela to serve on the Valkyrior, since their presence would also affect her realm.
* ClosestThingWeGot: Hela chose her as her Warrior Woman since, with Valkyrie's inability to create a new Valkyrior, Hippolyta was the only other warrior qualified to join.
* CoolHelmet: Her golden helmet.
* DreadlockWarrior: In her early appearances her helmet covered her hair, but after being revived, her mane of dreadlocks is on full display.

* FlyingBrick: At first she only had super strength, but now she can also fly.
* HeelFaceTurn: Began as Hercules' enemy, but nowadays she's a hero, although her new relationship with Hercules hasn't been explored yet.
* {{Matricide}}: Her daughter Artume killed her after having enough of her obsession with Hercules.
* StatuesqueStunner: She stands at 6'2"/188cm tall, meaning she's not that short when compared to Hercules.

* TakenForGranite: [[spoiler:She meets her end by getting turned back into stone and then being broken up by Delphyne.]] [[spoiler:It is also a rare inversion, since Artume was originally carved out of stone, which was then brought to life by reverse engineering the gorgons' curse.]]

* BodyHorror: Atum looks like a person, just golden and glowing. Demogorge often does not, and as time goes on has been depicted as progressively ''less'' human every time.
* CannibalismSuperpower: Demogorge gains power by eating other gods, absorbing their power into itself.
* HulkingOut: Sufficient amounts of energy cause Atum to turn into his darker half, Demogorge. However, Demogorge is still fully capable of speech and rationality in this form.
* ThePowerOfTheSun: Atum's a sun god, and can represent both the good part of the sun and the bad.
* ThePurge: Per (one of) his origin(s), Atum was the first child of Gaea and the Demiurge, created when the former was utterly fed up with the constant war of the primordial gods and the damage it was causing to Earth. First thing Atum did on being born was incinerate as many of them as he could find, with the few he missed running and hiding.
* TheUnfought: Thor has faced Demogorge several times, but he's not gone up against Atum. Gaea's warning to Thor on this matter is succinct: "''Don't.''"
* WingedHumanoid: One of the few things that tends to be consistent about Demogorge is that it has a pair of wings jutting out of its back.

!!! '''First Appearance''' ''Thor'' (vol. 1) #240

Marvel's take on the Egyptian god of the same name. Seth is a powerful Egyptian God of the Dead who often tries to destroy the universe so he can rule over everything in the realm of the dead. He frequently comes into conflict with Thor and Odin due to Asgard inevitably opposing him, for destroying the World Tree would be a major step in his goals.

* AsskickingLeadsToLeadership: Powerful enough to prove a difficult challenge to Odin and rules his own death realm.
* Myth/EgyptianMythology: Well he's an Egyptian god.
* EvilVersusOblivion: Loki and other villains will sometimes oppose him to save their own skin.
* ManipulativeBastard: His entire plan involves people screwing each other, and him taking advantage of it.
* MyNaymeIs: Seth usurped the worshippers of the Elder God SET by claiming the worshippers got the name wrong: SETH. The snake motif comes from this usurpation.
* NamesToRunAwayFromReallyFast: SETH: SERPENT GOD OF DEATH!!!
* OmnicidalManiac: Blowing up the World Tree definitely makes him this.

!!! '''First Appearance:''' ''Doctor Strange'' Vol 2 #6 (February, 1975) [[note]]As Mother Nature[[/note]]; ''Giant-Size Avengers'' #4 (June, 1975) [[note]]As Gaea[[/note]]

An Elder God personifying the planet Earth, and sibling to Oshtur, Chthon, Set, and numerous others. Whilst her sister Oshtur fled with the other Elder Gods to another dimension, Gaea dealt with them by giving birth to the entity Atum, who consumed the ones who did not escape and then dispelled their evil energies, which eventually became TheLegionsOfHell. Gaea then established countless magical barriers to prevent her demonic brethren from returning to Earth again, which were later reinforced by successive sorcerers. When Strange fell out of favour with the Vishanti, Gaea was there to serve as his new patron.

She also happens to be the birth mother of ComicBook/TheMightyThor (under the name Jord) as well as the great-grandmother of ComicBook/TheIncredibleHercules. In fact, it's revealed that "Gaea" is every EarthMother goddess in every known pantheon.

* AintTooProudToBeg: Won the primordial Godwar by virtue of being the only Elder God who was humble enough to ask the Demiurge himself for help.
* BigGood: As she represents the Earth and all life on it; thus, protecting her is a priority.
* BigScrewedUpFamily: Her sister is Oshtur of the Vishanti, which is fine, but the rest of their siblings are cannibalistic demonic entities who are bent on her death for siring another entity born to eat ''them'' before they could wreck more damage across the cosmos.
* BewareTheNiceOnes: As anyone knows, nature can be motherly and gentle--or it can be cold, merciless and spiteful. This applies exponentially more so to Gaea, who once curbstomped ''Dormammu'' after he pissed her off enough. Furthermore she has no problem pitting her children against one another if she thinks it's for the best and will gladly let a sentient species die to make way for another ad infinitum.
* TheChessmaster: She, along with Frigga, Hela, Isis and other female godheads, appeased the Celestials by cultivating powerful human specimens over many centuries so that the Celestials would judge the Earth worthy of survival and spare it.
* ChosenConceptionPartner: For Odin. Since the Aesir were vastly weakened upon stepping onto Midgard, where they were cut off from their sources of power at Asgard, Odin desired there to be one god amongst them who was equally powerful on Earth as in Asgard. He accomplished this by impregnating Jord (the Asgardian form of Gaea). This later turned out to be a SubvertedTrope, and the reason for it is a bit of a story. [[spoiler: After Firehair, the first human Phoenix host, violently rejected Odin's marriage, he started hitting on every Goddess he could find to mend his now broken heart. The reason why Gaea accepted Odin's proposal was because of Firehair actually feeling guilty about her rejection because not only did she actually love Odin, but her actions also led the [[BreakingTheFellowship Avengers disbanding]]. She spoke to Gaea not only about accepting Odin's courtship, but also becoming the mother of his child, one who would protect the earth. Gaea accepted, but ''only'' on the condition that the child be born of ''Love''. Otherwise, it wasn't going to happen.]]
* FertilityGod: She's revealed to be [[IHaveManyNames the same Earth Goddess]] from every pantheon, such as "Jord" from Norse myth and "Haumea" from Hawaiian myth. Naturally, as a "Mother" goddess, she is also depicted as solving a large number of problems by giving birth to the solution, such as giving birth to Typhon in an attempt to kill the Olympian Gods, giving birth to the Demogorge to kill the Elder Gods, and giving birth to Thor to kill Giants and other monsters. While acting as one of the co-rulers of Asgard, she was even depicted holding an unidentified newborn (later implied to be Laussa Odinsdottir) in her arms.
* AFormYouAreComfortableWith: However she appears is however the person who sees her can grasp her form.
* GaiasVengeance: [[spoiler: Her patience with humanity's entitled behavior has finally reached its limit in "The Immortal Thor" comic, so she let loose Toranos to force them to improve or die. Thor refuses to accept this rational action.]]
* HotGod: Specifically, to ComicBook/{{Storm|MarvelComics}}, who worships her as the Bright Lady she once met in her youth.
* LukeIAmYourFather: During one meeting with Thor, she eventually confessed to him that she is his actual birth mother. [[spoiler:Later this was put into question when Firehair, the first human Phoenix host, claimed the same thing. It was later revealed that Gaea is still Thor's birth mother. ''However'', Firehair was the one who convinced Gaea to give Odin a chance in his courtship. Gaea herself said that if she can find in herself to love Odin, then the child born from said love would be just as much Firehair's child as Gaea's]].
* MotherNature: Is the Mother Earth of all the world's religions.
* OnlySaneWoman: While she is powerful, violence isn't Gaea's ideal method. If at all possible, she will try to find a way to get what she wants with guile and manoeuvring, which was particularly shown with how she dealt with the Celestials as opposed to the male gods' approach to attack them head on.
* PhysicalGod: About as powerful as her sister so she is this.
* ReallyGetsAround: She is the personification of life and motherhood, and ''boy'' does she carry that into her work. The Earth Mother's go-to solution to virtually any problem is to mate with someone and produce a child from the pairing that can deal with said problem. For example, when her fellow Elder Gods turned into JerkassGods, she mated with the Demiurge (''her own father'', more or less) to give birth to Atum, the Demogorge, who ''literally'' eats gods for breakfast. When Odin needed a child powerful enough to protect Earth, she mated with him to produce Thor - though in a conversation between her and [[spoiler:Firehair]], who persuaded her to give Odin a shot (as she was only willing to have a child with him if she did genuinely fall for him), she mentions that she once sired the child of a talking tree. However, she does make the distinction that she genuinely does care for all her children and doesn't birth them only as solutions to problems.
* TangledFamilyTree: She has given birth to a lot of children over countless millions of years. She is the reason why many gods of various pantheons are actually related to each other.
* YouCannotGraspTheTrueForm: We've never actually seen her "true" form on paper. We only see what human (or godly) minds can understand.

!!! '''First Appearance:''' ''The Immortal Thor'' #1 (August, 2023)

An Elder God embodying both the storm and the cycles of fate.

* AnthropomorphicPersonification: He was the first storm, brought to life and sentience.
* AttackOfTheFiftyFootWhatever: He, like all the other Utgard-gods, is giant-sized.
* DistaffCounterpart: As a primordial Elder God said to be the AnthropomorphicPersonification of the first storm, he is a Spear Counterpart to the God Tempest--who ironically served as the significant augmentation of Thor's powers until being exorcized from Mjolnir.
* EnemyMine: He and Utgard-Loki teamed up to escape Atum's purge, much as they hate one another.
* {{Foil}}: To Thor. Both are storm gods, but while Toranos is a storm granted a humanoid form, Thor is generally mortal but wields the power of a storm. Their parallels are emphasized by both having a similar name (Toranos is another name for Taranis).
* HateAtFirstSight: With Utgard-Loki, due to their very natures being so opposed to one another.
* HerosEvilPredecessor: As the Utgard-Thor, he is this for Thor himself, and presumable other storm-gods as well. He is especially implied to be this to the Celtic storm-god Taranis, who has been featured as a member of the Tuatha Dé Danann and not only more-or-less shares his name but also wields a thunderbolt and wheel as his regalia.
* TheJuggernaut: As an impossibly ancient god, he far outclasses even All-Father Thor in raw strength, and Thor can only temporarily banish him. In the end, he's required to outthink him, rather than try out-fighting him.
* LackOfEmpathy: He's just following his job as a storm and destiny god, and has no real connection/sympathy towards humanity. [[spoiler: Thor gives him Mjolnir as part of a gambit to make him develop a conscience, and he is overwhelmed by his destructive actions.]]
* MyKungFuIsStrongerThanYours: Surpasses Thor's ability to control storms and the concepts of such in terms of raw power, though neither of them can simply shut down the other's when they clash.
* TeethClenchedTeamwork: Has never liked Utgard-Loki, and is only working with him during ''The Immortal Thor'' because their purposes, for once, align.

[[folder:Utgard-Loki]]
!!Utgard-Loki
!!! '''First Appearance:''' ''The Immortal Thor'' #1 (August, 2023)

An Elder God embodying trickery and magic

* BigEater: Boasts of draining the contents of his enchanted mead-horn, which is connected to all the world's oceans, in three long gulps shortly after he was born. Thor cannot do this, both because it's difficult even for a god, and the fact that [[SurprisinglyRealisticOutcome salt water tastes rather foul.]]
* IdentityImpersonator: Foreseeing that he would take on his own name in the future, Utgard-Loki took on the alias of Skrymir when he first met Thor and Loki as a little joke to himself, eventually spreading some degree of confusion later down the line.
* NoNameGiven: Hides his true name, and it is said he shall only give it on the occasion of his death.
* NotSoAboveItAll: A master schemer and magician who was nonetheless in the thick of the Godwar throwing punches at Toranos and any other Elder God in reach.
* PretenderDiss: The Utgard-Loki isn't terribly impressed by the beings who've tried claiming his and his kin's names, such as Ulik and Loki. As rival and foe to "Utgard-Thor" Toranos, he prefaces Thor's name with a number of demeaning descriptors while addressing him such as Small and Shadow.
* SchmuckBait: When he and several other Elder Gods retreated to Ut-Gard, he handed the only key that could let them out to his enemy Gaea, anticipating that the temptation to use it to barter a favor from them would eventually become too great to resist. He was right.
* SkullForAHead: His true face is a horned skull wreathed in flames.

Released from its prison within Yomi to use his shapeshifting powers to aid against the Skrull gods, it was thought to have been killed, but survived and attempted to destroy the entire Multiverse--revealing itself to be an embodiment of the primordial chaos that preceded creation and an aspect of the [[AnthropomorphicPersonification abstract entity Oblivion]].

* LackOfEmpathy: He's just following his job as a storm and destiny god, and has no real connection/sympathy towards humanity. [[spoiler: Thor gives him Mjolnir as part of a gambit to make him develop a conscience, and he is overwhelmed by his destructive actions.]]

Hippolyta's daughter, made from stone. She sought to create an LadyLand where men were enslaved to the whims of women.

* AncientAliens: In her first appearance, in ''Ms. Marvel'', she was treated as such. Much later on, she'd be retconned to be the actual goddess Hecate, who'd just been duped to believe she was one.

* BodyHorror: Atum looks like a person, just golden and glowing. Demogorge often does not, and as time goes on has been depicted as progressively ''less' human every time.

* ArcWelding: ''ComicBook/ImmortalThor'' gives a thematic connection between Atum (glowing golden figure) and Demogorge (misshapen pile of flesh) and the One Above All (all-loving, but not necessarily nice) and the One Below All (angry, empty thing smashing out of malicious hate)

First introduced in the Ares mini as the Japanese god of evil where it killed Zeus and laid waste to Olympus before being stopped. Released from its prison within Yomi to use his shapeshifting powers to aid against the Skrull gods.
