History Characters / MarvelComicsAsgardians

* [[IAmNotLeftHanded I Am Not Right-Handed]]: He invokes this trope while fighting with Loki.

* [[EvilChancellor Grand Vizier]]: Subverted. Despite his title, he is completely loyal to Odin, contrary to some of Odin's other advisers.

* [[BigBrotherInstinct Big Sibling Instinct]]: She elicits this from ''every single one'' of her older siblings. They may fight like cats in a sack amongst themselves, but they all adore her.

* HasTwoMommies: Technically, she has three biological parents, and is also being partially raised by 'Mama Gaea', her big brother's biological mother.

%%* TheBlacksmith

* ExtraParentConception: She is also kinda sorta the daughter of Surtur of all people thanks to being conceived in a dimension full with his power.

* AbusiveParents: {{Zigzagged}}. Odin has always been emotionally distant and harsh, but older stories made it clear that he loved his children and for the most part was a good parent. More recent stories have made him emotionally abusive on a constant basis and the reason his children are so screwed up.

* AdaptationPersonalityChange: Marvel's version of the character mostly lacks the trickster, anxious, mischievous and, in some senses, rather selfish side of Odin in Myth/NorseMythology. In the comics, Odin is a powerful, respectable and honorable deity, if prideful and arrogant; in the myths, however, while Odin helped to protect humanity, he also often fought dishonorably by using disguises, subterfuges and trickery to achieve his goals -- which frequently were gathering wisdom and knowledge to learn some way to postpone his fated demise in Ragnarök. For instance, in the "[[Literature/PoeticEdda Hárbarðsljóð]]", a disguised Odin insults Thor and boasts to his son about his sexual prowness, his magical abilities, and the wars he stirred, and in the ''Literature/ProseEdda'', he gets the Mead of Poetry from the giant Suttungr through disguises, shapeshifting, and tricks. Furthermore, some of his alias he himself lists in the "[[Literature/PoeticEdda Grímnismál]]" are "battle-merry", "killer" and "evil-doer".

* BrokeYourArmPunchingOutCthulhu: His Odinforce powered headbutt only managed to stagger Galactus for a bit and was immediatley forced to do the Odinsleep.

* FormerlyFit: He's filled out just a bit in old age. Not that he can't throw down a little now, but that's not all muscle he's packing.

* 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". The result, apparently, was Thor. Who is very much not happy about it. This was later reconciled with his Gaea derived origin by having Lady Phoenix, post break-up with Odin (having got as fed-up with him as Thor was at the time of the reveal), persuade Gaea to give Odin a chance, then after Laufey killed a newborn Thor, rebirthed him with Phoenix fire and promptly got attached. Gaea, for her part, considers both of them to be his mother. Thor is still not entirely happy about it.

* OmniscientMoralityLicense: Odin's justification for some of the crap he pulls.
* ParentsAsPeople: Odin truly loves his children, but the strain and work of being king of Asgard along with trying to prepare them for the dangers of the world means he has trouble showing it. He has trouble emotionally connecting with them, paying attention or separating his role as father from his role as king. As a result he often comes across as distant and uncaring.
* ParentalFavoritism: Odin makes it glaringly obvious he prefers Thor over all his other children, with the possible exception of Angela (though he sours on her after it becomes clear that she's not over-fond of him). This has created a good deal of resentemnt and other problems with his sons especially Loki. Worse, it's also soured his relationship with Thor, who resents how Odin has treated his siblings, and the expectations and pressure that Odin has put on him - and the fact that even being the favourite isn't a guarantee of good parenting.

* 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 - though a few, such as genuine care for his loved ones, and respect for courage, have crept back in.

* VetinariJobSecurity: Until recently. 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]]. As of the 2010s, however, the view is that the universe has moved on, even if Thor is reluctant to be King.

!!!'''Notable Aliases:''' The First Asgardian

* DropTheHammer: Back in the Stone Age he wielded Mjolnir, before Thor took it up eons later.

* DropTheHammer: Frigg has inherited Stormbreaker.

* DropTheHammer: It runs in the family.

** 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!"

->See [[Characters/TheMightyThorThorOdinson Thor Odinson]] page.

->See [[Characters/AngelaAsgardsAssassin Angela]] page.

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''.

* AllAmazonsWantHercules: She's attracted to powerful and noble warriors. This is especially exemplified with Comicbook/BetaRayBill, whom she has attraction to despite not being remotely attractive by human standards.

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.

* 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.

--> 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.'' And Volstagg would eat his way through. And he would get there first.

* BiggerIsBetterInBed: In an incident in which his clothes were burned off (when he took the brunt of an energy blast to protect Hogun, Fandral and Sif), Volstagg is briefly naked. And his friends stand in awe of more than just his girth.

->See [[Characters/TheMightyThorTheCharacter Thor Odinson]] page.

* 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.

* AdaptationalBadass / {{Xenafication}}: In Myth/NorseMythology, Lady Sif is a goddess associated with earth, fertility, family, and wedlock. In Franchise/MarvelUniverse, she is an Asgardian WarGoddess.

* BoisterousBruiser / ProudWarriorRaceGirl: As expected of an Asgardian warrior, she likes to fight and prove her worth in battle.

* ChainmailBikini / {{Stripperific}}: [[https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/49a63f66608fa47ac77b1ee6802cd39a.jpg This outfit.]]

* FieryRedhead

* PlayingWithFire / FlamingSword: In older stories, his Uru-made sword is able to project [[TechnicolorFire blue]] "cosmic flames", which are quite hot.

** PoisonousPerson: Yes, she can create poisonous ice.
* MagicalGirlfriend: A tearjerking {{Deconstruction}} of this trope. Any chance of Kelda and Bill being the comic book equivalent of [[Manga/AhMyGoddess Belldandy and Keiichi]] were quickly dashed and stomped on.

* WarGod: Duh.

* TheGoodChancellor

* {{Bishonen}}: When he was younger, he was WAAAY different, being a pretty boy who worked as a stone carver

Magni is the son of King Thor and Amora the Enchantress from a BadFuture where Asgard has taken over the Earth in Dan Jurgens's run.
