Biography

Jackie Lukus

At the time, the Enchantress came to learn of Karnilla gathering the forces of darkness against Heimdall. To aid him, she decided to summon the greatest weapon she could which was Skurge the Executioner's axe. In the Leena Morans apartment though, she was attacked by Skoll the wolf god who had been sent to eliminate her by the Norn Queen. The fight caused an explosion that took the two fighters elsewhere leaving the axe behind to be found by a human bystander. (Thor v1 #449) Holding it, she was transformed into an armoured male figure by its magic where she took the name Bloodaxe the Executioner where she became a vigilante that fought crime according to her rules. (Thor v1 #450)

Overview

Personality and attributes

Upon wielding the axe, they came to be known as Bloodaxe the Executioner whose armoured form resembled that of a man with a cold inhuman voice. Originally, she resembled a medieval executioner but she used the magic of the axe to give herself a more sinister form with a red skull and leather clothing. (Thor v1 #450)

The hunger propelled the wielder with an unquenchable hunger for blood and combat. (Thor v1 #451) As Bloodaxe, she felt a sense of exhilaration and freedom where she saw herself as bursting with power. (Thor v1 #450)

As Bloodaxe, she said she had little love for law and order. However, she was propelled by a need to impart justice on those that spilled innocent blood with them being suffering at the hand of the executioner's blade. (Thor v1 #451) She felt that she was not bound by restraints of civilised society with her being free to enforce her own laws where no one was capable of stopping her. (Thor v1 #450)

Powers and abilities

She came to be the bearer of the Bloodaxe that was an enchanted weapon full of magical energies. Wielding the axe transformed the wielder giving them increased mass that was pure muscle. Its use was natural to her as she was able to throw it and hit distant objects accurately. This was even the case when she lacked such skill with it all being provided to her by the Bloodaxe. To prevent being deprived of it, Jackie attached an old motorcycle chain to it so that she could pull it back to her hand. (Thor v1 #450)

Lukus could tap into the magical energies within the axe allowing her to achieve a number of effects. In one case, she was shown to project freezing ice to trap her enemies in place. (Thor v1 #450) The power of the axe allowed the user to summon a hurricane to throw all those around the wielder away. (Thor v1 #451)
