!!Aesir/Asgardians In General
A race of gods that inhabit the dimension of Asgard, the highest of the nine worlds. Their culture is very similar to Medieval Europe where they were once worshiped. All Asgardians possesses some degree of superhuman strength and other physical abilities. A select few have these powers above the average of their race often along with other superhuman abilities. They are commonly referred to as Asgardians. Aesir tends to be the more proper mythological name.
----
* AlienNonInterferenceClause: A loose rule Odin and Thor uphold to explain why Asgard does not solve all of humanity's problems and instead only protects it from outside threats. Humanity must make its own choices for better or worse otherwise humans are no more than puppets. The one time Thor violated this rule during the storyline called "The Reigning" things went...bad.
* BadassArmy: Fighting against monsters for thousands of years requires this.
* CompleteImmortality / ImmortalityInducer: The gods are immune to conventional forms of death like poisons and disease. They can usually survive injuries fatal to mortals and heal back from them successfully. The amount of injury depends on the power level of the gods. They age, but at a rate so slow they are considered immortal by other races of gods and extremely long-lived beings. However, they must consume the apples of immortality at regular (but unknown) intervals to maintain their youth and powers.
* JerkassGods: ZigZaggingTrope; Asgardians have a reputation for arrogance due to their status as gods, but generally run the spectrum. Some are friendly or protective of mortals. Others are outright sadistic such as hunting mortals for sport in ancient times despite Odin outlawing it and hiring mercenaries to kill Asgardians who broke the law. Many are indifferent and want nothing to do with Earth neither to hurt mortals nor to be worshipped by them. Instead, they place Asgard first, but will fight to defend Earth if threatened by an evil from the nine realms. [[spoiler:It was even Nick Fury and Uatu agreeing with Gorr about this sentiment that was the cause of Mjölnir shunning all of Asgard.]]
* LowCultureHighTech: The Asgardians possess vastly advanced mystical artifacts and ways to forge weapons from stars, but still operate on a primitive viking warrior culture mindset and it was mentioned at one point they don't even have basic indoor plumbing.
* {{Magitek}}: In older stories, Asgardians were shown using a combination of magic and super-science. Over time, that was eliminated, but generally even if their weapons look primitive, thanks to being powered by magic, they are far more powerful than mortal versions. Example, an arrow from a bow can destroy a fighter jet.
* MasterSwordsman: Most of the major Asgardians are considered this: Thor, Sif, Balder, etc. Fandral of the Warriors Three is usually considered the best.
* MultipleChoicePast: In this case with some in universe explanations. Thanks to the [[EternalRecurrence Ragnarök cycle]] and/or being ''trope based lifeforms'' (which might be true for most if not all gods, if we [[UnreliableNarrator trust Loki]]) they can and will have multiple versions of their pasts and [[ContinuitySnarl stories]] which can all be true in the same time and don't make them disappear in a PuffOfLogic.
* NiceHat: As warrior-gods, the Asgardians often have interesting helmets. Thor has his little wings; Sif's is almost bird-shaped. Balder's helmet has ridiculously gigantic horns. This may also tie in to their subjects being HornyVikings.
* PhysicalGod: Whilst how much they are actually "divine" has wavered over editions, Asgardians as a rule are vastly more powerful than humans.
* ProudWarriorRace: Asgardian culture is heavily devoted to war. Without an external enemy, they have in the past turned on themselves.
* PunyEarthlings: Asgardians have this view towards mortals at many points, even regarding powerful humans like mutantkind as nothing more than mortals blessed with some divine spark that pales in comparison to actual gods like themselves as [[https://community.cbr.com/showthread.php?116070-Thor-vs-Mutants Thor attested when he easily trounced Quicksilver.]]
* {{Omniglot}}: Thanks to the Allspeak Asgardians can communicate in all of the languages of the Nine Realms, Earth's dialects, and various alien languages.
* YeOldeButcheredeEnglishe: All the Norse gods in Thor's various books talk like that. ALL. THE. TIME. When Asgard is floating over a field in Oklahoma this is countered by hilariously backwoods country talk. Exactly why the Norse gods decided to talk in a dialect that was unknown to the Norsemen who worshipped them is [[RiddleForTheAges something that no-one has ever bothered to explain]].
** The Enchantress of the Young Masters in ''Comicbook/YoungAvengers''. She ''tries'' to talk in Thor-speak but often gets it wrong (even by Ye Olde Butcherede Englishe standards) or forgets to do it. It'll be like "Okay. --I mean, forsooth!"
** The bad Norse dialogue in ''ComicBook/HeroesReborn: [[ComicBook/TheAvengers Avengers]]'' turns out to be proof that "Thor" is a Counter-Earth duplicate after the real Thor arrives.
** In ''ComicBook/LokiAgentOfAsgard'' #4:
-->'''Sigurd:''' --For thy bewitching gaze doth compel noble Sigurd do get thy digits...
-->'''Verity Willis:''' --Aaand this conversation is over.
-->'''Sigurd:''' Everyone loves the oldie-worldie talk when Thor does it.
** Sigurd (the Ever-Glorious) and Lorelei stand out as an exception, since having spent so much time among humans they speak more like humans, with nary a trace of butchered English to be heard.

->'''AKA:''' All-Father, Sky-Father, Atum-Re
->'''Debut:''' ''Journey Into Mystery'' (vol. 1) #85

Odin is the king of the gods and Lord of Asgard. He is also, apparently, the creator of mankind. Thanks to HijackedByJesus, often has just as much in common with the [[Literature/TheBible Christian God]] as he does with the Norse deity he's based on.
----
* AuthorityEqualsAsskicking: When Thor alone is not enough, Odin will step in to defend Asgard, even at the cost of his own life. Unless Thor is using ''his'' power (the Odin Force) or the runes' magic, Odin is the most powerful being in all of Asgard too. This is different from the myths, where Odin did lead Asgard but ''Thor'' was the biggest, strongest resident.
* AwLookTheyReallyDoLoveEachOther: He and Frigga will argue and bicker about every subject under the sky, but they do still care about one another under all that bluster. When she appears to die taking out the Midgard Serpent, Odin's horrified (she gets better).
* BadassBeard: Fitting for the All-Father, Odin has an impressive beard. Even a million years ago, he had a full badass beard.
* BigGood: Thor may lead the charge, but victory is only possible thanks to Odin's leadership and preparations.
* BizarreAlienBiology: He has ''nine'' hearts.
* CannotSpitItOut: A ''lot'' of trouble would've been saved for everyone if Odin had just said he loved ComicBook/{{Loki}} once in a while. He does actually manage it after ''Original Sin''... and then promptly refuses to talk about it.
* TheChainsOfCommanding: Much of the conflict between Odin and Thor comes from the latter's love of Earth and Odin wanting Thor to put Asgard first. Odin has often had to take actions for the good of Asgard that disagree with Thor's sense of nobility. Asgard itself has at times been in trouble and needed Thor who was busy being a hero on Earth. Other times the Earth has been in trouble strictly because of Odin, putting him at odds with Thor.
* TheChessmaster: At times even shown with a chess board representing whatever scheme he currently is working on. Certain stories after the universe- threatening evil is stopped reveal everything that happened had been arranged by Odin beforehand, with things usually working out for the best.
* CoolHelmet: During the stone age, Odin had a helmet that was very similar to Thor's.
* DependingOnTheWriter: Sometimes he's an entirely pompous jackass. Sometimes, he's a wise and benevolent King with just a little pomposity. It wavers between the two, with him being much kinder -- in a strange and distant sort of way -- in ''Agent of Asgard'' than in ''Thor''.
** It gets a LampshadeHanging during ''Agent of Asgard'', when he notes that for someone who's supposed to be wise, he doesn't always show it.
* DropTheHammer: Back in the Stone Age he wielded Mjolnir, before passing it to his son Thor.
* ElderlyImmortal
* EyepatchOfPower: DependingOnTheArtist, he either sports one blind, scarred eye or one of these. The [[{{Film.Thor}} film]] version, as portrayed by [[Creator/AnthonyHopkins Sir Anthony Hopkins]], has a particularly impressive one.
** In earlier issues of the comics, Odin was sometimes depicted as actually having both eyes, but choosing to wear ceremonial eyepatches on special occasions.
* FantasticRacism: He doesn't think too highly of those pompous Vanir. [[YouKnowImBlackRight Cue Frigga icily reminding him that ''she's'' Vanir]]. He's also not too fond of Dwarves or Elves or Humans.
* {{Foil}}: For Zeus from ComicBook/TheIncredibleHercules. Both are ancient, [[TopGod powerful godheads]] with short tempers, [[BadassBeard Badass Beards]], and difficult relationships with their sons. Both claim they want to uphold justice, to sympathize with mortals, and disdain evil. The difference is Odin at least tries to live up to these virtues while holding the Asgardians accountable for their actions. Zeus blows them off whenever they inconvenience him and allows the gods to do what they want. He only bothers to punish them on a whim or when they cross him personally. As a result, Odin is usually a beloved king respected by his subjects while Zeus is despised.
* GenerationXerox: With Thor, as it's revealed that he used to lead a group of heroes that were basically the prehistoric Avengers. His interactions with them show that Thor is his father's son.
* GoodIsNotNice: Odin is firmly on the side of good and usually tries to minimize the damage and protect the mortal realm from from the evils of the nine world, but he is usually not nice. He is typically a pompous, hardass who will do whatever it takes to ensure the security of Asgard.
* TheGoodKing: With the exception of the Matt Fraction and Jason Aaron portrayals, Odin has been shown to care for all of his people, fair in his dealings with mortals, and several times sacrificed himself to save Asgard from its enemies.
* InterspeciesRomance: Odin, an Asgardian, had a fling with Lady Phoenix, the human host of the Phoenix Force, during his time in Midgard as one of the "Stone Age Avengers".
* JerkAssHasAPoint: Odin can be callous, abrasive, insensitive, and blunt, but often he is the only one willing to say or do things every knows have to be done, but no one is willing to say or do:
** Odin's stripping Thor of his memory and putting him in the body of Donald Blake can come across as harsh except it was the only way to get through to Thor who was causing genuine problems and supposed to be a future king.
** Odin originally arranged for Jane Foster to forget about Thor and arranged for Thor to fall for someone else except Sif has proven she could not handle life in Asgard making her a liability.
** Odin at times has put mortals in danger or allowed mortal to perish despite having the power to prevent it. When confronted he points he never forces them to do anything and that mortals have to accept the consequences of their actions as part of freedom. Otherwise, they are nothing but his puppets. He also must consider the greater good of both Asgard and the universe ahead of individual lifes.
* JerkWithAHeartOfGold: Odin can often come across as this with his willingness to manipulate others or pompous attitude. As an absolute monarch, he is used to getting his way through unquestioning obedience and being always correct, so he doesn't lightly tolerate challenges to his authority. This is also a major case of DependingOnTheWriter on how big of a jerk he is. Some writers show him as a patient king with only a few pompous qualities, while others portray him as being a virtually unreasonable hardass.
* KingIncognito: Odin will at times disguise himself to accomplish things he has to do himself without the interference of his kingship.
* KlingonPromotion: He's a firm believer in his sons taking his throne through either combat or at the very least outliving him in some way. While he simply let his Bor crumble to snow through a curse cast by their Frost Giant foes, Odin saw fit to find and challenge his grandfather Buri (now Tiwaz) to a wrestling match as Bor had done previously to cement his claim of kingship.
* ManipulativeBastard: Demonstrated ''very'' early on. It's at first {{downplayed|Trope}}--Thor has decided to marry Jane Foster and wants to quit being Thor. Odin instead schemes so that Jane is made into a goddess, but she then fails the EngagementChallenge and gets sent back to Earth. Thor is heartbroken for all of five minutes until Odin sends him on another mission, where he just happens to be reunited with his [[ChildhoodFriendRomance childhood friend, Sif]]. Meanwhile, Jane has no memory of the engagement and just so happens to run into the handsome and wealthy Dr. Kincaid.
* NiceHat: Odin has a different hat in almost all of his appearances.
* OmniscientMoralityLicense: Odin's justification for some of the crap he pulls.
* ThePatriarch: Fitting with the term "All-Father" Odin is the tough old authoritarian figure of the Asgardians who has trouble expressing emotions outside of rage and demands absolute obedience from Thor and the rest of Asgard. Under some writers, he deep down cares for Thor and either can be reasoned with by people who earn his respect including mortals and women. Other writers play up the JerkAss side making him an unreasonable tyrant.
* PetTheDog: Even when he is at his worst, most assholic levels he is still shown to care about his people and his family, especially Freyja. As seen in the new Thor run, when he calls off the Destroyer from attacking Freyja's army and when she is badly hurt during the civil war he calls the whole thing off.
* PrecursorHeroes: As part of the Stone Age Avengers, he was basically the precursor to the modern Thor.
* SealedEvilInADuel: His version of the Asgardian afterlife involves him fighting and killing Surtur over and over again to prevent the fiend from escaping the realm of the dead. He was quite pleased at this arrangement; Surtur was not. In fact, it was the necessity of this station that made Odin so enraged when he was resurrected to help fight the World Eaters as Surtur soon, predictably, escaped to threaten the universe again with Odin no longer blocking the exit.
* StoryBreakerPower: Odin's magical abilities are powerful and flexible enough to effortlessly overcome ''nearly'' any possible threat or foe... which does not lend itself well to creating drama. [[DeusExitMachina And so he is often written out of the comics for several issues at a time, thanks to being elsewhere, in a restorative coma, or temporarily dead.]] Several storylines focus on Odin being unavailable and Asgard only holding out long enough for him to return and destroy the aggressor.
* SuperEmpowering: His enchantments power {{Mjolnir}}, which serves to focus many of Thor's power. In Beta-Ray Bill's case, he bestows the storm powers in their entirety, as well as the accompanying weapon.
* TautologicalTemplar: His worst traits revolve around him becoming this as a ruler and a leader, committing horrible actions like planetary genocide or just manipulating and abusing those closest to him with his scheming simply because he thinks he knows best. Needless to say, this tendency has come back to bite him '''a lot'''.
* TookALevelInJerkass: Odin has always had his unpleasant side, but usually balanced by him being reasonable if one is respectful, understandable if one looks at things from his side, or at someone who relents once he realizes what he is doing. Recent writers have played up the a-hole qualities to the point of making him an unreasonable, perpetually angry tyrant while removing any of his sympathetic qualities.
* TopGod: Mostly fits the "King of the Gods" type, but thanks to being so much more powerful than the other Asgardians combined with at times being practically worshipped by them has elements of the "God of Gods" type.
* VetinariJobSecurity: Maybe because StatusQuoIsGod, but just about any time disaster strikes, Odin is needed to lead Asgard. Part of it is due to his vast powers. The other part is due to the fact that his replacement often acts [[IdiotBall very, very stupid]].
* WhatTheHellHero: Odin's actions in several stories such as ''ComicBook/FearItself'' have led Thor to call Odin out on his actions.
* WellDoneSonGuy: Had this kind of relationship with his father, which explains rather a lot about him.

->'''AKA:''' Freyja Freyrdottir, All-Mother
->'''Debut:''' ''Journey Into Mystery'' (vol. 1) #92

The Queen of Asgard, wife of Odin, mother of Balder and Tyr and foster mother to Thor and Loki. Frigg's history can be confusing. Originally, Frigga was a young/middle-aged woman with black hair married to the much older looking Odin. Walter Simonson drew Frigga as much older looking which was a design used later. Matt Fraction brought Frigga back calling her Freyja. She and her fellow goddesses, [[MotherNature Thor's biological mother Gaea]], and the goddess of youth Idunn were summoned by Odin to assume control of Asgard as the triumvirate All-Mother when Odin abdicated after ''Comicbook/FearItself''.
----

* ActionMom: She is mother of several of Odin's children, by blood and adoption. and is also Asgardian warrior.
* ArrangedMarriage: Originally, Odin and Frigga were a loving couple with no hint of this. Freyja has been retconned into being forced into one by Odin to end a war between the Aesir and Vanir gods.
* ArtEvolution: Frigga started as a young/middle-age woman with black hair, became an older-grey haired woman to more closely match Odin's age, and is now a young/middle-age woman with blonde hair.
* ContinuitySnarl: Everything about Freyja. Freyja was first introduced it created confusion because her different look and name implied she was a different character than Frigg. It was only after insistances in story and from WordOfGod that Freyja was Frigga was accepted. The arranged marriage, bloody past, and tense relationship between Odin and Freyja further added to the confusion because previously their relationship had only been shown as loving. Introducing Freyja out of thin air without and previous mention, build up or explanation did not help things either.
* DyingMomentOfAwesome: [[spoiler:Fights King Loki, punches him off the Midgard Serpent, then kills the serpent in a TakingYouWithMe. Since she's an Asgardian this is enough to get her into Valhalla immediately, and since this happened during Ragnarok, she just gets right back up again to fight some more]].
* TheHighQueen: As Odin's queen, she has often been a source of advice and comfort for others.
* LadyOfWar: More than capable of holding her own in battle against a sorcerer as powerful as Karnilla thanks to her warrior training and own powerful magic in this case defeating Karnilla.
* MamaBear: Fair warning, do not hurt her children (well, except maybe Loki). Kill one [[spoiler:apparently]] and your whole species can end up condemned to be the lowest of the lowly in Hel. [[spoiler:This is the nasty surprise awaiting the Angels of Heven after death for what they did to Aldrif.]]
* MamasBabyPapasMaybe: Inverted. The Asgardian royal couple has a ''lot'' of kids and all are Odin's except Loki, but Freyja's blood relation to them ranges from acknowledged (Balder, Aldrif), to questionable (Hermod, Tyr -- you can find statements pro and con), or non-existent (Thor, Vidar).
* TheNeedsOfTheMany: Her treatment of Loki has a fair whiff of this. She's perfectly willing to condemn Loki to an eternity of evil (which is described by Loki as like being ''constantly on fire'') in order to secure Asgard's future.
* NeverMyFault: She is very prolific at pushing the blame for the consequences of her own decisions to the people carrying out the orders (mostly Loki) or objecting to them (mostly Odin).
* ReasonableAuthorityFigure: Compared to the authoritarian, pompous hardass that is Odin (though, really, this varies), Freyja is much more calm, open-minded and willing to negotiate to try and work out a compromise and share power with others. Except towards Loki. She's perfectly willing to [[ShameIfSomethingHappened coerce them into doing what she desires]] if the need occurs, or outright ignore them. [[spoiler:They give her an epic calling out after everyone else has shunned them.]]
* SpellMyNameWithAnS: She went by Fricka or Frigga until her name was firmly established as "Freyja" fairly recently. Since Freya had already established as a separate deity in earlier comics, there might be a bit of OneSteveLimit going on as well.

->'''AKA:''' Amora
->'''Debut:''' ''Journey Into Mystery'' (vol. 1) #103

An Asgardian sorceress who has attempted to seduce Thor on numerous occasions. Initially, her aims seem to have been to claim him as her own Asgard's handsome warrior-prince, and thereby eventually become queen of Asgard. Much to her surprise, Thor proved resistant to her charms, and over the following centuries and millennia her plans largely became driven by a desire to ensnare the heart of the man who eluded her for so long. Her plots generally revolve around seducing him or trying to punish him for rejecting her advances. She typically uses her (admittedly stunning) looks and magics to enthrall others to fight for her. Despite her villainous ways, she has genuine feelings for Thor and has put her life on the line for him in the past. She has also willingly joined in the defense of Asgard when dire threats have arisen.

Younger sister of Amora the Enchantress. Thief, con woman, magic user. One of the few Asgardians who choose Midgard as their primary residence.
----
* AmazonBrigade: Her {{Caper Crew}}s tend to be highly capable and all female.
* BirdsOfAFeather: Loki claimed they get along so well because they've so much in common, being [[TheUnfavourite looked down younger siblings]] and [[ConMan dirty low-down tricksters]] and all.
* CharmPerson: Her signature spell. Yes. She occasionally does the MagicKiss thing her sister is famous for.
* ClassyCatBurglar: What does she do for a living? Robbing banks and casinos mostly. Or when in a hurry {{con|Man}}ning people out of their money.
* FieryRedhead
* TheGloriousWarOfSisterlyRivalry: Saying that she and Amora don't get along is somewhat of an understatement. Even when Amora is nice, she can't help but take condescending digs at her little sister.
* HotWitch: Skilled in magic and beautiful. However, unlike Amora, Lorelei has no interest in mastering sorcery other than to learn a few spells and potions to aid her seductive techniques.
* OldFlame: Former paramour of Thor (via sorcery) and Loki (sans sorcery).
* OneSteveLimit: There's Lani Ubana from the Savage Land, who went by the codename Lorelei, and Lorelei Travis, a mutant with PrehensileHair. None of the three Lorelei's have ever been near each other.
* PunchClockVillain: Her villainy is for paying bills and financing her lifestyle. She will work for you if you can pay her.
* QuestionableConsent: She "magically seduced" Thor at one point, and that always leaves true consent in question.
* SleptThroughTheApocalypse: She is the other person, apart from Sigurd, who [[ScrewThisImOuttaHere failed to show up]] to the last Ragnarök, and the subsequent resurrections. Thanks to this Heimdall can't find her either.
* {{Stripperiffic}}: Her costume during the '90s.
* TomboyAndGirlyGirl: She is the more tomboyish of the sisters, but that's only by comparison. Let's face it it's ''hard'' to be more girly than Enchantress.

Heimdall is the guardian of the Rainbow Bridge. His extraordinary senses allow him to see into all Nine Worlds, and even the future. He has stars for eyes, and is a certifiable badass. [[ArsonMurderAndJaywalking Oh, and he had his own game for the Amiga back in the mid-nineties.]]
----
* BadassBeard: He's an Asgardian, so of course he has an impressive beard.
* CoolHelmet: His signature horned helmet.
* DatingCatwoman: He pursued a relationship with Amora, and despite her initial resistance, eventually won her affections (for a time). One reason for his success was his ability to resist and survive her various tantrums and fits of temper -- where many lesser godlings have suffered a variety of horrible fates at her hands, Heimdall's power let him shrug off her lesser spells and deal with her as an equal, and as a mature and patient counterbalance to her self-absorbed childishness.
* GateGuardian: His duty is to guard the entrance of the Bifrost.
* NotSoOmniscientAfterAll: For all of his super-senses, he has been taken by surprise both on and off duty a disturbing number of times.

->'''AKA:''' Balder the Brave
->'''Debut:''' ''Journey Into Mystery'' (vol. 1) #85

Balder the Brave is the Norse god of light whose death is supposed to signal the beginning of Ragnarok. Because of this, Odin has made him nearly invulnerable. Balder considers it his duty to guard Asgard and do everything possible to prevent Ragnarok. He is also a son of Odin and half-brother to Thor.
----
* ActualPacifist: Briefly tried to become this after he came BackFromTheDead.
* BackFromTheDead
* DatingCatwoman: His relationship with Karnilla the Norn Queen has some of this going for it.
* DependingOnTheWriter: What's his relationship with Thor? Early on he was just his friend, but later writers (probably drawing on the original myths) let slip that they were brothers. Still others suggest that he was adopted, like Loki. And the most recent explanation is that he ''is'' Odin's son by Frigg, but they ''pretended'' he was a foundling, either to hide his birth out of wedlock or to avoid getting to close to him (the prophecy about his death and all).
* FormerlyFat: Severely traumatized by the time he spent in ComicBook/{{Hela}}'s realm, he turned to food as a means of dealing with his issues, and put on a great deal of weight in the process. When the realm was endangered, he undertook a relentless training regimen, and soon returned to fighting form.
* FriendToAllLivingThings: Particularly birds, whose language he can understand. When he says "a little bird told me", he's not kidding.
* LightIsGood: Aside from being the god of light, because of his great nobility, he is sometimes shown with the power to produce light.
* MartialPacifist: In the early "Tales of Asgard" stories, he was shown participating in scrimmage battles, but taking pains to ensure no outsiders were harmed. Including ducking out to rescue caterpillars from being stepped on.
* MasterSwordsman: Very much so, as the Hood and his crew found out during the Siege of Asgard. The Hood tried to shoot him and Balder responded by using his sword to guide the bullet in a U-Turn.
* NiceGuy: Is often widely praised as being the kindest, most loving and most benevolent of all Asgardians, sometimes to the point that he could be considered a GentleGiant (he's almost as big as Thor and can be quite the badass when has to be).
* OffWithHisHead: Courtesy of [[spoiler:King Loki, who wanted to kickstart Ragnarok the "proper" way]].
* PurpleIsPowerful: Most of his outfits have some purple in it.
* TheUnfavourite: Following the revelation of his being a son of Odin, he comes off as this, in the shadow of both Thor and [[spoiler: Aldrif/Angela]]. Hell, even Loki gets more of the old man's attention.
* WarriorPoet: Volstagg says of him that he is "a gentle soul. A poet in a warrior's body."
* WeaksauceWeakness: ''Mistletoe.'' It was the only thing unimportant enough to be overlooked when Odin made everything in the world swear not to harm Balder.
* WorldsBestWarrior: Has this reputation.

Initially brought back to life by Thor along with the rest of the Asgardians, now free of the cycle of Ragnarok, she decided to seek out new experiences. She meets and befriends Bill, a mortal who had fallen in love with her, and who's affections she comes to reciprocate.
----
* BrokenBird: After ComicBook/DoctorDoom is done with her.
* AnIcePerson
** PoisonousPerson: Yes, she can create poisonous ice.
* MagicalGirlfriend: A [[TearJerker tearjerking]] {{Deconstruction}} of this trope. Any chance of Kelda and Bill being the comicbook equivalent of [[Manga/AhMyGoddess Belldandy and Keiichi]] were quickly dashed and stomped on.
* MayflyDecemberRomance: She's immortal, Bill isn't.
* PhosphorEssence: In dim light, or when she engages in battle, Kelda glows from within with a soft, ethereal radiance.
* PowerOfTheStorm: While not in Thor's league, Kelda (called 'Stormrider'), has the ability to summon and control wind and rain, can draw the frigid upper atmosphere down to flash-freeze her opponents, and is able to call forth lightning from stormclouds to smite her enemies. All of this requires she be under an open sky; luring her underground or into a sufficiently massive building will largely negate these abilities.
* RapunzelHair: She has hair that is somewhere around knee to ankle length which largely seems to ignore gravity, as befits a goddess.
* ReallyGetsAround: When Bill comes to Asgard to court her, the other gods have no trouble guessing which goddess has attracted the poor, smitten mortal.
* RoaringRampageOfRevenge: Seems set to go on one following Bill's death at the hands of Loki's men.
* StarCrossedLovers: With Bill.
* TogetherInDeath: Is happily reunited with Bill in Valhalla.

->'''AKA:''' Asgardian God of War
->'''Debut:''' ''Journey Into Mystery'' (vol. 1) #85

Tyr is the Asgardian god of war and son of Odin. He is famous for sacrificing his hand to originally bind the Fenris wolf. He developed a fierce jealousy of Thor due to being overshadowed by him, leading him to battle both Thor and Odin. Despite this, he is still loyal to Asgard and has fought beside Thor to defend it from threats.
----
* BadassMustache: He's been seen clean-shaven or with a full beard, but currently he has a mustache.
* DatingCatwoman: Tyr is usually portrayed as a protagonist, or at least an AntiHero at his worst, but in ''ComicBook/FearItself'' he willingly becomes the commander of Hela's underworld forces and there is a clear attraction between the two that they try to deny. Later, in ''Angela: Queen of Hel'', Tyr (along with Balder) leads the opposition against Angela (who is attempting to dethrone Hela), admitting that he does it out of love for the Death Goddess. Whether Hela returns his sentiments has yet to be seen.
* FourStarBadass: Stated by Thor to be the best general Asgard has and often depicted in a military leadership role.
* HandicappedBadass: He might be missing a hand, but he's still Asgard's god of war.
* OvershadowedByAwesome: Despite being the god of war in a society of warriors and a great general, everyone else in his family overshadows him in one or more ways.
* SiblingRivalry: His conflicts with Thor take on a new light with the revelation of his parentage.
* WarGod: Duh.

->'''AKA:''' Brunnhilde
->'''Debut:''' ''The Defenders'' (vol. 1) #4

The Asgardian goddess Brunnhilde is one of Asgard's mightiest warriors and the leader of the Valkyrior, Odin's choosers of the slain. Known simply as "Valkyrie" outside of Asgard, she is a long-time member of [[ComicBook/TheDefenders the Defenders]] and more recently also a member of the Avengers. Her natural fighting ability is unsurpassed among Asgardian women, and is perhaps equaled only by Sif.

-->"I'm a hero, remember? "Cool" is in the job description."

->'''AKA:''' Sigurd the Ever-Glorious
->'''Debut:''' ''New Mutants'' (vol. 3) #34

The legend of legends. The first hero. The blade of Bor. (For reals!) Original wielder of the mighty sword Gram. Dragon slayer. [[IHaveManyNames And so forth]]. Long time acquaintance of Loki. Legendary Asgardian warrior, which explains so much about the place after you read his tropes. First introduced in the "Exiled" arc of ''Comicbook/JourneyIntoMystery'' later becomes a recurring character in stories dealing with Loki.
----

* AwfulTruth: The main power of his sword Gram forces a person to confront truths they keep hidden from themselves and does damage based on the "lies" the sword has to cleave through to get to it. For a person honest with themselves, the sword does no damage, but a minor wound can be fatal if one is full of self-delusions as the sword's maker found out.
* BlackVikings: He is a black Norse hero/Aesir.
* TheCasanova: Womaniser he is. He's NotStayingForBreakfast, thank you very much.
* ContinuitySnarl: His very existence given that Marvel had previously adapted the character for an adaptation of "Theatre/TheRingOfTheNibelung" with him having the appearance of Thor and having been born and died a mortal. Yes, this was all part of mainstream continuity.
** As of Thor's destruction of the cycle of Ragnarok, it is likely that any earlier portrayal of the character has been officially retconned as being part of a previous, unrelated cycle.
* CoolShades: Having lived among mortals, Sigurd understands that shades can confer the mighty power of "cool" on a bearer, as he demonstrates to all of Valhalla during the Final Incursion.
* CoolSword: Original owner of the legendary blade Gram.
* DirtyCoward: When concerning the Disir, Bor's valkyries. He abandoned them to Bor's anger after he seduced them into breaking their oaths, made no attempt over the many centuries to fix his mistake, and when forced by Loki to confront his crimes and victims did everything he could to try and weasel out of it.
* TheDragonslayer: If you ever needed proof that despite his flaws the guy is a true badass, he has at least one dragon on his kill list. The dragonblood itself makes Sigurd pretty much unkillable except by magic and imbued his sword with its truth-magic.
* EarlyBirdCameo: First appeared in ''New Mutants'' #34 before being formally introduced during the "Exiled" arc, 8 issues later.
* HistoricalHeroUpgrade: The legends about him tend to not to mention his false heart or all the harm his womanizing has done over the ages.
* [[IAmNotLeftHanded I Am Not Right-Handed]]: He invokes this trope while fighting with Loki.
* ImmortalityBeginsAtTwenty: Aesir normally do age albeit slowly... he gets to stay the same age he slew the dragon forever. Meaning he looks in his early thirties at max but served ''Odin's father''.
* ImmortalitySeeker: He is already immortal but would really like to loose all possible ways of dying, or at ''least'' find a way to not go to Valhalla at any cost, as he is reasonably convinced that the Valkyries ([[spoiler:or the ex-Disir ones at least]]) would [[GroinAttack cut off "little Sigurd"]].
* JerkAss: His constant womanizing has left a trail of lies, broken hearts and broken promises and he tends to view women as nothing more than sex dolls. His worse moment is seducing the Disir only to abandon them to the wrath of Bor and leave them to suffer for eons without making any attempt to atone.
* LadykillerInLove: According to Amora he actually fell for Lorelei.
* LivingLegend: See his description? He is a legend to ''[[UpToEleven gods]]''.
* TheMagnificent: He is Sigurd '''the Ever-Glorious''', even if the narration once pointed out that the ''Sometimes''-Glorious would be a more appropriate title.
* NominalHero: Well yes, he did the heroing for the StandardHeroReward. Is there any other reason?
* TheOlderImmortal: He doesn't look it, but it counts as this among the Asgardians since he was young during the reign of King Bor and nowadays Odin is considered one of the oldest Asgardians. Given how in some [[ContinuitySnarl versions of his death, Bor]] died of old age that is saying something. He himself has noted has has been at the hero thing far longer than Thor and is a far older god than Loki.
* RaceLift: Yes, he's that Sigurd. The Germanic hero based off of the Frankish king. Considering the previous Marvel portrayal of Sigurd was for an adaptation of "Theatre/TheRingOfTheNibelung", in Thor's own book no less, that had Thor's essence put in human form and that form being Sigurd and this version is an Aesir, the RaceLift seems to be a double: From white to black and from mortal to god.
* TheRealHeroes: Nowadays he is a fire-fighter. [[SubvertedTrope Not that his priorities changed or anything]].
* SleptThroughTheApocalypse: He is one of the two people who [[ScrewThisImOuttaHere failed to show up]] to the last Ragnarök, and the subsequent resurrections. Thanks to this Heimdall can't find him.
* SternChase: Thanks to Bor he had to do this or face being killed [[spoiler:or [[ShotgunWedding wed]]]] by the Disir. [[HeManWomanHater Bor]] himself would have preferred the [[FateWorseThanDeath non-lethal option]].

->'''AKA:''' Bor, King of Asgard
->'''Debut:''' ''Journey Into Mystery'' (vol. 1) #97

The father of Odin, Vili, & Ve, and original King of Asgard. He was presumed deceased after Loki travelled back in time to seal Bor into the snow around him, and such as he remained until recent times where Loki freed him and placed him under a spell that confused his senses. When he met his grandson Thor, he was tricked into thinking Thor to be a demon (and sensing the Odinforce within him, thought he had killed Odin) and lapsed into a titanic battle where the great warrior would finally meet his end.
----
* AndIMustScream: He was trapped in snow for millennia.
* AuthorityEqualsAsskicking: When alive, he was as powerful as Odin and has a reputation as great warrior.
* AnAxeToGrind: His preferred weapon is a battle axe.
* BadassBeard: Befitting a viking and father of the All-Father.
* CameBackWrong: His twisted deaths have barred him from Valhalla, making him a resident of Hel and ensuring that each of his resurrected selves are warped by the madness of the realm.
* ElementalPowers: [[BlowYouAway Wind]] and [[ShockAndAwe Lightning]].
* EyeBeams: Generated them to temporarily blind Thor in their battle.
* FieryRedhead: He has red hair contrary to the blonde hair of his children or Thor.
* FounderOfTheKingdom: Bor is often cited as the first king of Asgard.
* JerkAss: While a respected leader and warrior who loved Odin, by all accounts Bor was not in anyway a nice person. When he found out that Odin had managed to create life on Midgard, something his father Buri could do but Bor was incapable of, Bor decided to punish all of humanity to make his son regret his unsanctioned show of godhood.
* HeManWomanHater: Is one of these whenever Hela brings him back from the dead.
* HornyVikings: His helmet sports giant horns.
* InterspeciesRomance: His wife Bestla was a Frost Giantess.
* TheJuggernaut: Thor, even with the Odinforce, was in the battle of his life, and he literally smashed {{Mjolnir}} into pieces.
* MultipleChoicePast: In his debut comic, he was "slain" by a sorcerer (really a time-traveling Loki) turning him into snow. But in a prequel comic to ''ComicBook/FearItself'', he's depicted as dying of old age in his bed.
* PapaWolf: Tried to avenge what he perceived to be Odin's death (even though he knew that Odin had essentially murdered him) when he was first resurrected and when Hela tried to trick him into taking Mjolnir on her behalf during ''Avengers Forever'', he realised that she had stolen it from Thor and tried to assault her at the cost of his life (again)
* StrawMisogynist: Originally, Bor was only a cruel god who did not like to be challenge yet loved Odin and was respected by his people. All of his subsequent characterisation as a vassal of Hela has focused on him being every misogynistic stereotype one can think of.
* TragicMonster: The spell Loki put him under made him think everything around him was a Hellish landscape and the people demons.
* WellDoneSonGuy: Odin was this to him, which probably explains a lot about Odin himself.

The Warriors Three are original characters created by Stan Lee and Jack Kirby not found in Norse mythology. They're powerful Asgardian warriors and Thor's best friends.
----
* BlondeBrunetteRedhead: Volstagg is the redhead, Fandral is blonde and Hogun is the brunette.
* ChromaticArrangement: Volstagg normally wears purple, Fandral sports green, and Hogun's in blue.
* ComicTrio: Stories starring of featuring the Warriors Three often have them serving as comedy relief. Jokes tend to come from either Volstagg's weight or boasting nature or Fandral's womanizing with Hogun playing the straight man to their antics.
* PowerTrio
* TrueCompanions: To Thor and to each other.
* TwoGuysAndAGirl: With Volstagg busy with his ambassador duties, his place in the Warriors Three has been taken, for now, by Hildegarde.

[[quoteright:386:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/327f108d76994122f9d80b8e7253cf29.jpg]]

->'''AKA:''' Volstagg the Valiant, Volstagg the Voluminous, The Lion of Asgard, [[spoiler: The War Thor]]
->'''Debut:''' ''Journey Into Mystery'' (vol. 1) #119

Volstagg the Valiant is an enormously fat, bearded Viking. He's technically based on Falstaff, but his enormous appetite, red beard, and HotBlooded nature actually make him seem quite a bit like... Thor, from the original Norse myths.
----
* ActionDad: Volstagg is known for having many children from his marriage. This even includes adopting mortal Midgardian children! Having a family does not stop him from being an ass-kicking adventurer.
* {{Acrofatic}}: Despite his massive girth, he's surprisingly quick and nimble.
* {{Ambadassador}}: After Freyja retired because of her youngest daughter's (Laussa's) birth he became Asgards representative in the council of worlds.
* AntiHeroSubstitute: [[spoiler: As the War Thor]].
* TheAtoner: It's speculated by A.I.M. that the reason he's so fat is that [[spoiler:he's punishing himself for (however briefly) considering abandoning Hogun to be eaten by Fenris when they first met. Volstagg himself dismisses this and had stated on several times he eats because he enjoys it and thinks enjoying life is the point of living]].
* BadassBeard: Like many other Asgardians, Volstagg has a bushy beard.
* BewareTheNiceOnes: Volstagg is amiable like no tomorrow, practically the big fun personified, but he has hundreds of years of experience on the battlefield, has squared off against the likes of the Hulk or the Fenris wolf and lived to brag about it. And that’s without getting him angry!
* BigEater: VOLSTAGG. There's an exemplary scene in the Warriors Three miniseries where he misunderstands the purpose of an "all you can eat" buffet and takes it as a challenge -- and proceeds to eat EVERYTHING IN THE RESTAURANT. And then proclaim it to be a good snack for between meals.
** Taken UpToEleven in issue #603 when Sif has this to say of the Warriors Three (to Thor).
--> And what of the Warriors Three? Hogun and Fandral would fight their way through the same Nine Worlds if they stood between them and ''you.'' [[SugarWiki/FunnyMoments And Volstagg would eat his way through. And he would get there first.]]
* BigFun: Volstagg is this in spades, to both readers and other characters.
* BoisterousBruiser: One of the best. And biggest.
* CowardlyLion: The general consensus of his characterisation post Simonson.
* DependingOnTheWriter: Volstagg started out as a loveable, boastful coward until Walter Simonson came along and made him into a family man and great warrior. Subsequent writers sway back and forth between characterizations. The general consensus is that he'll avoid a fight, but picking one with him is a very, very bad idea.
* DespairEventHorizon: [[spoiler: As part of his duties as a representative he travels to a light elf refugee camp, where he befriends a group of children and even gives them all his food. Shortly thereafter, the camp is attacked by fire demons and Volstagg tries desperately to protect the children but sadly they all die. Volstagg is so overcome that he doesn't eat or sleep for a long time and nothing can bring him out of his depression, until the Ultimate Hammer calls to him and he becomes a Thor fueled by hatred and vengeance, The War Thor]].
* DiedInYourArmsTonight: [[spoiler:When Volstagg tried to protect the light elf children from the fire demons, he had them in his arms when they were all engulfed in flame. [[NighInvulnerability Volstagg was unharmed]]. The children were reduced to crumbling shapes of ash]].
* {{Expy}}: Of Shakespeare's Falstaff.
* FriendToAllChildren: He positively ''adores'' kids of all types. Harm a child in his presence [[BerserkButton at your own peril.]] [[spoiler: The atrocity that drives him to become the War Thor? Being unable to save child refugees from a war crime.]]
* GoodOldFisticuffs: All he needs to take on the Hulk, albeit momentarily.
* HappilyMarried: One of the very few characters in a long term relationship without any drama but with lots and lots of children and everybody can guess what that implies.
* HiddenDepths: Volstagg is actually quite a capable cook. In "Journey Into Mystery #504", he's depicted hosting his own cooking show. In the 2007 "Thor" run, he briefly becomes the chef at Broxton's local diner and is seen to quite enjoy it, happily trotting from Asgard to Broxton and back on a daily basis to go to work and being very upset when Broxton temporarily bans all Asgardians from visiting. He may even be a SupremeChef, given that one of Broxton's police officers seems very taken with Volstagg's omelettes.
* IWasQuiteTheLooker: Used to be known as Volstagg the Valiant and was as svelte and handsome as Fandral.
* LargeHam: Even by ''[[WorldOfHam Asgardian]]'' standards. It's one of the things that makes him a surprisingly competent politician.
* MassiveNumberedSiblings: He has at least seven children. Well, he claimed to have eighteen of them but he is dreadfully prone to overstating things.
* MilesGloriosus: In the older stories Volstagg would always claim what a great warrior he was while fleeing the battle or somehow being a clumsy oaf. Often he was just as effective at defeating the enemy with his own clumsiness. In later stories, he was turned into a very brave and skilled warrior, but he still has shades of this. He even provides the page image.
* NighInvulnerability: Some depictions show Volstagg as substantially tougher than the average Asgardian, in part due to his bulk. During the 2007 "Thor" series, he powers through a Doom-built robot's WaveMotionGun beam and destroys it with his bare hands, being left unharmed save for having had his clothes burned off.
* ObfuscatingStupidity: Another of his DependingOnTheWriter qualities. Walt Simonson and Kieran Gillen wrote him this way; other writers not so much.
* PapaWolf: Volstagg is a cheerful, amiable, obese fellow who loves a good meal and a joke...but do NOT threaten one of his children, whether biological or one of the human orphans he adopted from Earth. Or, indeed, any child in his presence.
* PetMonstrosity: The Thor/Iron Man mini-series reveals he has a ''pet dragon''. As in a bus-sized, flying, fire-breathing monster.
* PluckyComicRelief: Volstagg is often the source of light-hearted humor more so than the other two.
* SimpleStaff: Older stories often have him use a staff in battle and be quite effective with it.
* StoutStrength: Volstagg is infamously fat, but also immensely strong.
* TookALevelInBadass: Goes from being a coward to a real warrior. [[spoiler: Becomes the War Thor in issue 20 of ''Mighty Thor'']]
* TheWorfEffect: [[spoiler: His War Thor hammer boasted the power of an entire universe. Yet he was completely ineffective against Mangog including trying a proving method by shoving his hammer into Mangog's mouth and blasting him with everything. Mangog survived and destroyed the hammer before tossing Volstagg out of old Asgard]].

Fandral the Dashing is Asgard's resident LovableRogue. He's handsome, witty, romantic, and the greatest swordsman in Asgard.
----
* BadassBeard: Instead of a thick beard like other Asgardians, he has a stylish goatee and mustache to go with his rogue aesthetic.
* CoolSword: A longsword called Fimbuldraugr.
* {{Expy}}: Of Errol Flynn, by WordOfGod.
* HandsomeLech: Fandral is very good looking, very appealing to the ladies, and happily takes advantage of that.
* LightningBruiser: mentioned to be the swiftest and most agile of all the Asgardians (with the possible exception of Hermod), and like all Asgardians, possesses considerable SuperStrength.
* MasterSwordsman: Considered to be the best swordsman in Asgard, probably only matched by Balder.
* RoyalRapier: A mini had him armed with a magical rapier. Otherwise, tends to use a double-edge sword in a fencing style.

->'''Debut:''' ''Journey Into Mystery'' (vol. 1) #119

Hogun the Grim is, well, grim. He's much more taciturn than his [[LargeHam expressive]] companions, and is the only one of the Three who is not an Aesir. He is also a complete and utter badass, even by [[WorldOfBadass Asgardian standards.]]
----
* BadassMustache: He doesn't have a full beard like the Asgardians, but he sure has a thick mustache.
* BerserkButton: Downplayed, Hogun doesn’t like mirthful comments about his signature hat. The bikers seemingly lived to regret their jest.
* {{Bishonen}}: When he was younger, he was WAAAY different, being a pretty boy who worked as a stone carver
* CarryABigStick: His preferred weapon is a giant mace, which is called: Hridgandr, the Dreaded Stormwand.
* DeadpanSnarker: He doesn't talk much, but he gets his digs in when he does. [[VitriolicBestBuds Especially against Volstagg]].
* {{Expy}}: According to WordOfGod, several of his personality traits and his original appearance are inspired by Creator/CharlesBronson characters.
* InscrutableOriental: Because he's from Vanaheim, he looks vaguely "Oriental", in comparison to the vaguely Caucasian appearance of his fellows. Admittedly, he looks more Mongolian than Chinese, but his looks combined with his usual quietness still fits the trope.
* TheQuietOne: Hogun rarely speaks unless he feels he has to.
* PrettyBoy: As a younger god, although age and his usual demeanor hides that now.
* StraightMan: Often is the only voice of reason to be found amongst The Warriors Three.
* TheStoic: He's called The Grim for a reason.
* WouldHitAGirl: Justified, the woman he hit was fighting the warriors three evenly, she could take it and he held back.

* BigBeautifulWoman: She's heavier-set than Sif and Brunhilde, but as an Asgardian, she's certainly not ugly.
* BraidsOfAction: Just like Brunhilde, her hair is in twin braids and she's a former valkyrie.
* BrawnHilda: Her name really is Hilda, but she's more of an AmazonianBeauty combined with BigBeautifulWoman.
* CoolHelmet: Like other Asgardians, she has a nice helmet, hers having a crescent moon design.
* LastOfItsKind: Although she wasn't a member at the time, she was the only Valkyrie that survived the attack of Malekith's forces during ''War of the Realms'', thanks to being away. This means she's the last of the original valkyries, but she has other duties and can't help Jane at the moment.

When Thor the Avenger finally grows a beard, King Thor complements him on it and comments that between that, his missing eye, and prosthetic arm they're starting to resemble one another.
* GrumpyOldMan: He's a cantankerous codger at the best of times, having witnessed almost everyone he cared about die, and is something of a DeathSeeker -- openly admitting he's been around for eons too long.
* HandicappedBadass: He's missing an arm and an eye, and admits he's going senile... but he has a prosthetic fashioned from one of the Destroyer's arms to make up for it and is also magnitudes more powerful than either of his past selves.
* HeroicSacrifice: At the end of ''King Thor'' he sets out to fend off enthropy from consuming what's left of the universe, and leaves his granddaughters in charge of protecting New Midgard.
* IdentityAmnesia: One of his adventures shown in ''King Thor'' #4 involved him becoming an amnesiasic BarbarianHero after a psychic attack by frost giant assassins, prowling the frozen jungles of Jotunheim.
* IHatePastMe: King Thor finds his past self to be a naive beardless brat, and absolutely can't stand his hot-tempered and arrogant youngest self. The feeling is mutual, as Thor the Avenger and Young Thor see him as the spitting image of their father.
* MyFutureSelfAndMe: He is the future self encountered by Thor the Avenger and Young Thor, who are horrified that they turn out to be a GenerationXerox of Odin.
* PowerOfTheVoid: When bonded to All-Black, his lightning turns black.
* RetGone: Invoked in ''ComicBook/WarOfTheRealms''. After he's brought to Earth-616, Malekith realizes that King Thor and Thor the Avenger will cease to exist if Young Thor is killed.
* SpacePolice: He once joined Omnipotence City's Ministry of Inter-Deity Justice and became a "cosmic god-cop" based out of "Sun Precinct Prime".
* SuperMode:
** To fight Galactus he bonds to the All-Black symbiote, gaining a SuperPoweredEvilSide until it jumps ship to the Devourer of Worlds.
** When Doom attacks Earth intent on destroying it and claiming the Power of the All-Father and Phoenix Force for himself, Logan gives Thor the Phonenix Force. After an almost-century-long battle with Doom in the planet's mantle, Thor emerges victorious and promptly passes out, while the Phoenix transfers to a new host.
* TheSymbiote: When Galactus attacks Earth, All-Father Thor seeks out the All-Black symbiote and bonds to it in order to gain the power to stop him.
* TopGod: He is the All-Father of Asgard... not that it amounts to much since almost all of the other gods except his granddaughters and Loki are dead.
* TurnOutLikeHisFather: King Thor is the spitting image of Odin, being a cantankerous one-eyed GrandpaGod. He's aware of it, and resents it just as much as Thor the Avenger and Young Thor do.
