Goddess of Death Princess of Asgard Executioner of Asgard Queen of Asgard Commander of the Legions of Asgard

Background Story part 1

Hela was the firstborn child of Odin, king of Asgard. She served as his personal executioner and commander of the Einherjar, Asgard's army. Together, Hela and Odin embarked on a bloody conquest, bringing all of the Nine Realms into Asgard's power. During their campaigns, Odin rode his steed, Sleipnir while Hela mounted a giant wolf named Fenris. In battle, she wielded the mighty hammer Mjølnir and her own Necroswords. Hela's ambitions exceeded the realms of Yggdrasil, however, and she began plotting a wider and bloodier conquest of other worlds. By this time, Odin had realized that peace was a better way to maintain order than constant war, and had ended his expansionary campaigns. Father and daughter clashed, with Hela eventually attempting to take the throne by force in a violent coup at the Royal Palace of Valaskjalf. Odin was able to subdue her, banishing her to the desolate wastes of Hel. To ensure she could not escape, Odin bound his lifeforce to Hel, seeing to it that Hela could not escape for as long as he lived. Odin proceeded to wipe all mention of Hela from Asgardian art and record, ensuring that her existence and history would be forgotten by the Asgardians. However, her legend continued to exist on Earth, where she was deified as the Goddess Of Death in Germanic mythology. Eventually Hela had attempted to escape from her imprisonment within Hel, seeking to continue her quest to take the throne of Asgard and enslave all the Nine Realms. Hela's attempt at freedom prompted Odin to send the Valkyrie to stop her and ensure that she was unable to get free. As the Valkyrie charged forward atop of their steeds, Hela saw them coming and prepared to fight back.

Background story part 2

Hela proceeded to use her Necroswords to slice down the Valkyrie as they charged towards her, quickly proving herself to still be vastly more powerful than the entire army of the elite warriors. Hela was successful in overpowering the Valkyrie and, with the exception of their leader Brunnhilde, killing them all, however, she was overpowered when Odin intervened and re-imprisoned, remaining sealed for thousands of years, awaiting the death of her own father

Personality part 1

Hela has a raging, impatient, volatile, and supremely ambitious personality, which makes her prone to killing or maiming anyone who stood in her way. However, much of this is masked by a casual confidence and appearance of friendliness, such as when she returned to Asgard, she casually murdered Volstagg and Fandral, but then offered Skurge a job as if nothing had happened. During Asgard's violent conquest of the Nine Realms, she was an effective and brutal wartime leader due to these traits, and therefore essential to Odin's conquest being a success. However, when Odin transitioned into a peace-time King, he realized that Hela could not, for her ambitions had grown out of his control, and her formidable powers made her a threat to his new society. Indeed, Hela rebelled against Odin and hence, he banished her from Asgard, and later imprisoned her personally when she revolted against him. After her freedom, she immediately conquered Asgard with little effort, and Heimdall himself described her as being so power-hungry that, if she could access the Bifrost Bridge, she would conquer all of the Nine Realms and even the entire Cosmos. Though Thor acknowledged Odin's paternal deficiencies, during a heart-to-heart confrontation between him and his sister, he still confessed he believed that their father's decision to imprison her instead of letting her rule was an accurate one - Hela made it clear that she would exterminate her entire nation if they stood in the way of her resuming her conquests. She even went as far as to state that she was neither a Queen nor a monster, but the Goddess of Death, which in turn revealed that she was quite content to rule over a dead nation of dead soldiers completely loyal to her.

Personality part 2

Hela was also extremely resentful of her imprisonment at the hands of her own father, Odin, whom she was initially loyal enough to willingly execute his will, and even help him conquer the Nine Realms, although she would eventually rebel after Odin grew to become a benevolent king. She gleefully mocked at his death, and openly expressed her wish to have been able to see it herself. However, it was evident that she still felt a high level of betrayal from Odin due to her imprisonment, for she was quickly angered by the concealing murals that displayed only Odin, Thor, and Loki, as well as his peaceful conquering of the Nine Realms. In fact, she was so provoked by them that she immediately threw her swords at those false images, shattering them to reveal the truth of Odin's violent deeds. Apart from her ambitiousness, Hela's most prominent feature would be her overwhelming confidence; during her first encounter with her brothers, before crossing swords with them, she already made it clear that she viewed them as inferiors who were no match for her, and she later also demonstrated no fear at all when confronting Asgard's army. Though she subsequently proved her point by crushing Mjølnir with only one hand and slaughtered the entire Asgardian army with ease, Hela's hubris also turned out to be her downfall - she underestimated Thor's wisdom, which ultimately led to her being destroyed by Surtur. Hela is not completely without mercy. The only time she shows mercy is when people agree to serve her or do not stand in her way. When she displayed her overwhelming power, she asked Hogun, who survived her initial onslaught if he was willing to change his mind. Even though Skurge displayed cowardice upon their first meeting, Hela decided to mentor him. However, Hela lacks attachment and will kill anyone who betrays her, even Skurge without hesitation. Hela's only true display of affection was to her companion, Fenrir, being saddened upon discovering her death.

Abilities / Powers

Asgardian Physiology: As the eldest child of Odin, Hela had tremendous superhuman abilities and supernatural powers, far superior to those of almost every other Asgardian, including Thor at full power. Heimdall believed Hela was sufficiently powerful to conquer the entire cosmos. The only known beings powerful enough to surpass Hela were her father Odin in his prime and the Fire Demon Surtur at full power. As Odin's firstborn, Hela had a supernatural connection to Asgard and drew power from it, enabling her to perform incredible supernatural feats. Hela could manifest various physical structures out of thin air, ranging from weapons, to rock formations, to her own armor.

She was also able to catch Mjølnir, one of the most powerful weapons in existence, with one hand after it was thrown at her with full speed, crushing it with no visible effort. Hela also slaughtered the Warriors Three and the combined might of the Einherjar with ease. Furthermore, she proved easily stronger than her brother Thor, besting him in two of their three battles. Even after achieving his full power, Thor was still unable to defeat his sister, however, he managed to win a fight against her by striking her down into the water below. Superhuman Durability: Hela's body, much like Thor's, was nigh-invulnerable, but to a much greater degree. She was able to catch Mjølnir in midair without injury. Hela was also able to grab a handful of the Eternal Flame unburnt, was impaled through the torso with an Einherjar's sword, and stabbed with Gungnir by Thor without any taking any noticeable physical damage. Thor struck her with a massive lightning blast, only for her to emerge completely unharmed.

Abilities / Powers part 2

Superhuman Speed: Hela was fast enough to slay several Einherjar before they could react and was able to keep up with and outpace Thor and Valkyrie in combat.

She was also able to jump through a crater, landing neatly on her feet. Superhuman Stamina: Hela's endurance allowed her battle for extremely long period of time without tiring at all. She was able to defeat numerous Asgardians, as well as withstand the combined might of Thor and Valkyrie without tiring.

Regenerative Healing Factor: Hela was able to swiftly heal from her wounds after being stabbed by the sword of an Einherjar, when Thor impaled her with Gungnir, as well as when Thor electrocuted her after Valkyrie stabbed her with Dragonfang. Immortality: Due to her connection to Asgard, Hela was immortal as long as Asgard existed. Weapon Summoning: Hela could manifest various weapons from different parts of her body, usually Necroswords, daggers, spears, and axes. These weapons were incredibly durable and sharp, enough to not only instantly kill the likes of the Warriors Three and Skurge, but also able to pierce right through Thor's nigh-invulnerable body, with Hela gouging his right eye out with a Necrosword and pierce his back with a blade from her elbow. Her Necroswords were sharp enough to pierce Skurge's Uru-plated armor. She also manifested the Bloodaxe, which she gave to Skurge. While pursuing Thor and Loki across the Bifrost Bridge, Hela conjured a triangular shield on her forearm to take the impact of Thor's punch.

Equipment

Necroswords Bloodaxe Helmet: Hela wore this helmet prior to and during her banishment in Hel, as well as when she returned to Asgard up until her death. Hela used the helmet as a means for defense and as a weapon to parry attacks and slash opponents. When Thor used Gungnir to slice off a portion of the helmet, it regenerated within seconds.
