Biography
Origin
Odin was the name of a male member of the race of Asgardians and an inhabitant of the realm of Asgard was the He was born of the Aesir as one of three sons of Borr and Bestla with his father being responsible for creating the universe. (Journey into Mystery v1 #97) Odin had another older brother besides Vili and Vi with this being Cul. (Mighty Thor v1 #7) His grandfather Buri would later take the name Tiwaz who was said to had known Odin and were old friends with him. It was said that Tiwaz was responsible for Odin getting his first job and station. (Thor v1 #355)
In his youth, his father taught him how to fight, think, rule and serve as well as showed him to defend his dreams. Before the rise of mankind, he walked over the fields of Midgard and found it beautiful but empty. The young Odin began to think of his own legacy that he could leave on the world and thought of perhaps creating a new race to inhabit the empty Asgard. Thus, at that time, he breathed life into man but his father Bor was not pleased with his son's actions. Bor did not undo his son's creations but decided to punish him to quell his own rage and thus visited every suffering he could bring upon the mortal race of man. (Thor v3 #7) One account held that King Bor died whilst his children were still young with his eldest Cul seeking to take the throne. During one of Odin's adventures, he along with his brothers Vi and Villi battled Sleipner but was stopped from killing the beast by Cul. (Mighty Thor v1 #7) Afterwards, a new war came to Asgard whose enemies arose in great numbers to challenge King Bor with Odin fighting by his father's side. In the heat of battle, Bor pursued a fleeing Frost Giant and came across a powerful sorcerer with Odin arriving just to see his father cursed into becoming living snow that slowly dissipated into the winds. Bor begged his son to find the greatest sorcerer he could find and restore him leading to Odin becoming the new King of Asgard. (Thor v3 #7) Millennia ago, the All-Father came to Midgard seeking to consult with Jord the goddess of Earth and the last of the Elder Gods. He consulted her as he desired a son unlike any on Asgard and wanted to join with Jord to produce such an heir. The child born from their union was named Thor with his origins being withheld as Odin took him back to Asgard to present him to his wife Frigga. (Thor Annual v1 #11) During his reign, Odin believed he could hear his father's voice in the wind but chose to eventually ignore it as he pursued his own destiny whereupon he devoted his time to his own son and heir who was Thor. (Thor v3 #7)
- There exists a conflicting story in Thor v3 #7 and Mighty Thor v1 #7 as the latter showed that Bor died when Odin was a young boy rather than during his adulthood.
The young Odin at some point encountered the Dark Man and his wife Desire. After seeing the entity, he knew his true nature as a creature of fear and managed to escape death at their hands. (Thor v1 #323) As his brother Cul grew more tyrannical, Odin sought knowledge to stop his brother and sacrificed his eye to Yggdrasil for the needed wisdom. (Mighty Thor v1 #7) After plucking out his eye, the eyeball was not destroyed but actually was empowered as well from the power of the Well of Mimir. The Eye of Odin developed a sentience of its own and grew in power where it formed into a massive eyeball that went through the realms under its own power. (Thor v1 #292) Armed with wisdom, he along with Vi and Villi moved to stop their mad brother Cul. (Mighty Thor v1 #7) Odin decided to create powerful shieldmaidens with his first and most powerful creation being the Doommaidens who were deadly female warriors that served as his spies and messengers. During their journeys into the depths of space, they encountered something that changed and corrupted them leading to them returning as monstrosities that killed all in their path until King Odin had defeated them. (Fearless Defenders v1 #2) As the All-Father, he had his brothers turned their attention to Earth which held much beauty to their eyes. They set a ring around it and the magical tree Yggdrasill grew where it spread its branches around the Earth whereupon the gods awaited the coming of man. (Journey into Mystery v1 #97)
All-Father
When the world was young, Odin was called to war when the ice giants laid siege to Asgard where he managed to defeat them except for their King Ymir. The progenitor of the ice giants pursued the All-Father until he tricked him into a spot where he ignited the fires beneath to surround Ymir thus imprisoning him behind a wall of flame as an eternal prisoner. (Journey into Mystery v1 #98) After Ymir's death, the young Odin along with his brothers Ve and Vili made their way to Muspelheim on a mission of discovery to the Kingdom of Fire. They were confronted by the native Fire Demons who brought the three sons of Bor to their master Surtur. The Asgardians questioned the fire giant on the legend that he would bring about the end of existence and he showed them the Eternal Flame that would ignite his Sword of Doom at the designated time. This led to Odin and his siblings challenging Surtur with the demon of fire bringing forth his blade to slay them for their defiance after revealing the that the Eternal Flame could never be extinguished. Odin merged with his brothers to become a giant where he brought forth his blade to fight against Surtur and his Sword of Doom. Such was he scale of the fight that it turned the Asgardians back to their normal forms and caused Surtur to sink into his Sea of Flames with his shattered Sword of Doom. Odin then stole the Eternal Flame where he along with Ve and Vili attempted to escape Muspelheim only for Surtur and the Fire Demons to pursue them. As they approached the exist, Ve and Vili remained behind to hold off the demons of fire to ensure Odin's escape. In their final moments, Ve and Vili caused the doorway to Muspelheim to close whereupon they perished with their essence merging with their brother Odin. This merged power that came to Odin became known as the Odin-Power further empowering him even though he grieved for his lost brothers. (Thor v1 #349)
Eons ago, a sentient superstorm by the name of the God Tempest approached Asgard with Odin waging war against it. After a long battle, he managed to defeat the raging Mother of Thunderstorms where he imprisoned it within Uru. The trapped storm was then taken to the Dwarves where he ordered them to fashion it into a hammer that he named Mjolnir. All-Father Odin had intended to use the weapon himself but it rebelled against him where it nearly destroyed Asgard. An angry Odin decided to place an enchantment to prevent anyone from wielding the hammer and left it within the weapon vaults of Asgard where it was never to be wielded by anyone. (Mighty Thor v2 #12)
Another great task involved the fire demon Surtur when a group of rebel Trolls allied with him in a plot to topple Asgard. This saw Odin intervening where he defeated the Trolls before confronting Surtur himself. Surtur was unable to vanquish the All-Father and decided to strike at the one thing the Asgardian King loved namely Earth. To reach his quarry's target first, Odin created the Rainbow Bridge and sped to Earth where he used it as a prison by trapping Surtur in its core to be kept there as a prisoner for eternity. (Journey into Mystery v1 #97) At some point, during a slumber he was visited by the Mares that went into his dreams and awakened Odin. In anger, he trapped the Mares in Marelock for daring to intrude in his dreams unaware that this was how they communicated with others. (Mighty Thor v1 #17)
At time's dawn, Asgard was gripped with war with the rival tribe of deities known as the Vanir. To end the conflict, a truce was achieved with hostages exchanged by both sides with Asgard surrendering Mimir to the Vanir. According to Mimir, for no good reason he was executed by the Vanir and his living tortured head was sent back to Odin. In this state of living death, Mimir was gifted with the power of prophecy whereupon Odin transformed him into fire and made him an advisor. For his actions, Mimir was said to hold hatred towards Odin for leaving him in this state. (Thor Annual v1 #7) Among the earliest conflicts fought by the Asgardians was the Aesir/Vanir War with the former being the victors. After that long war, a peace was made whereby King Bor's son, Odin of the Aesir would marry Freyja of the Vanir. The marriage was supposed to culminate in a child of both people that symbolized the unity of the two Asgardian races with this being a daughter who would become Angela with the newborn child being stolen by the Angels of Heven. (Angela: Asgard's Assassin v1 #2) Years later, at the height of his power, he shared a night of passion with Frigga that led to her being pregnant and giving birth to his son Balder. Upon seeing his child, he received a vision of the future that saw an adult Balder being slain and being disturbed by this he decided to seek out a prophetess. He found an ancient death chamber that kept one of the beings imprisoned and freed her with his blood where she gave him a prophecy of the future. This stated that Balder would die and his death heralded the coming of Ragnarok which would see the destruction of the Asgardians. However, Balder would be reborn and father a new race of gods that would be descendants of Odin thus ensuring this lineage continued in the future. The prophetess did warn though that if knowledge of his parentage were known that it could lead to his enemies slaying Balder to prevent his rebirth thus ensuring the Odin's line ending. To prevent this, he hid the parentage of Balder with it known only to a few and the child himself was unaware of his birth parents. (Thor v3 #10)
A million years ago, he was on Earth where he was joined by likes of the Phoenix, Agamotto, Black Panther, Iron Fist, a Spirit of Vengeance and a Starbrand in defending the world against a renegade Celestial known as the Fallen. They defeated the creature and buried it within the Earth to prevent it from summoning the Final Host to destroy Earth. (Marvel Legacy v1 #1) Thousands of years ago, an Asgardian by the name of Millennius believed that mankind was cursed with sorrow and pain with him deciding that the only way to bring them peace was to destroy them all. For his actions, Odin and his fellows were responsible for banishing Millennius to a forsaken dimension where he remained trapped in his prison without any other being with him. (Silver Surfer/Thor Annual v1 1998) At some point, he had dalliance with a giantess named Grid who bore him a halfborn son named Vidar Odinson though the child was banished to live in the mountains. (Thor Annual v1 #12) During his reign, a number of Asgardian often visited Midgard during the early days of man and cruelly preyed upon the mortals. To stop this practice, King Odin had secretly hired the services of the Angels of Heven from the Tenth Realm where he paid them for dispatching these rogue Asgardians. He later learnt that the mercenary nature of the Angels meant that they allied with Asgard's enemies if they paid the right price with the angry All-Father meeting with the Angel Queen. As a result, he broke his ties with the Angels as he concluded that they had no honor. Afterwards, the Angels attacked Asgard but were ultimately defeated and imprisoned within the Tenth Realm that was separated from the other realms. (Original Sin v1 #5.4)
Thor
His son Thor later petitioned the All-Father to marry the mortal nurse Jane Foster with Odin refusing the request. (Journey into Mystery v1 #97) The All-Father later agreed when Jane was brought to Asgard and with his power he turned her into a goddess where he put her to a test to judge her worthiness to marry his son. This saw her being placed in a hall to show no fear against the Unknown but she was overwhelmed with fear and rejected the madness of Asgard leading to her deciding to remain mortal. (Thor v1 #136)
Fear Itself
Return
Whilst within Old Asgard, Odin decided to maintain the site as his self-imposed prison where he kept a watch over his brother Cul who was alive. The pair engaged in a long game of chess in order to pass the time. This exile was broken when Loki emerged having revealed that the Tenth Realm was opened once more and the forces of the Angels of Heven intended to invade Asgard. Thus, Odin departed to battle the Angels in their realm. Upon arriving in Heven, he was saw Angela and could tell that the warrior was actually his daughter Aldrif thus revealing her heritage to both her as well as the other Angels. He attempted to have her return with him to Asgard but she saw the All-Father as an enemy as she had been raised in Heven to despise the Asgardians. Rather than put his fury against the Angels, Odin decided to depart with Thor and Loki so that they could return to Asgardia where he resumed his position as All-Father of his people. (Original Sin v1 #5.5)
He later found his wife guilty of insurrection against Asgard but before he could pronounce sentence the trial was interrupted by the female Thor with the two engaging in a battle. (Mighty Thor v2 #4)
In ruined Asgard, Odin was attacked by Dark Elf assassins sent by Malekith as he and the Dark Council took the War of the Realms to Midgard in order to conquer it as it was the last realm to fall to them. Despite the surprise ambush, the All-Father managed to kill his attackers and took the Valkyrior to Earth to aid its heroes. However, he was wounded and unable to aid them much with him taking to safety whilst the Valkyrior were defeated. (War of the Realms v1 #1)
Upon his recovery, he came to learn that his wife Freyja had gone to Svartalfeim to destroy the Black Bifrost of the Dark Elves to deprive them of their key advantage. She came to become the gate's guardian as she held the line and sent her Avengers strike force back to Earth along with their allies. This saw Odin seeking to join his wife to aid her and he was given a specially crafted suit of Iron Man Armor to aid him. Odin thus arrived to aid Freyja as the two held the line to destroy the Black Bifrost seemingly leading to their death. (War of the Realms v1 #4)
Afterwards, he and Freyja then set forth to the kingdoms beyond their realm in an attempt to rekindle the fire between them. However, despite their efforts, Odin came to find it lacking in himself and he felt alone. This caused hmim to journey and wander alone across space until he found bars where he would drown himself in his sorrow. This was until he was sought after by the new Valkyrie Jane Foster who wanted his aid to stop the now mad Donald Blake who was seeking revenge against the Asgardians. She came to convince him to return to Midgard to stop his creation where he confronted him just as the Asgardians were returned back to Earth after being banished by Blake. (Thor v6 #13) He was prepared to undo Blake's existence but was stopped by the returned Thor who felt a kinship with Donald. Thus, Thor commanded that his father depart and the saddened Odin complied where he left as Blake was taken away for his punishment. (Thor v6 #14) Odin then returned to deep space to resume drowning himself in drink when he was approached by Beta Ray Bill who was seeking the former All-Father's aid. This was because Stormbreaker had been destroyed by Thor thus trapping Bill in his form and deprived of its magic and power which he wanted returned to him. However, Odin lacked the magic now and was unable to help Bill but offered an alternative. He suggested the Korbinite claim Surtur's blade the Twilight Sword that resided in Muspelheim which would have the power needed for this task. For this quest, Odin even showed Bill a means to enter Muspelheim which was through the Stygian Gate that was a portal into the fiery realm built long ago by the former All-Father. He sent word to the sentries he had stationed there long ago to allow Bill and his compatriots entry through the portal as they went on their way on Skuttlebutt. (Beta Ray Bill v1 #2)
Overview
Personality and attributes
His own father Bor taught him to fight, think, rule and serve but did not teach how to have dreams of his own. When his father was turned into living snow, Odin decided ultimately not to honor Bor's wish of being restored to life and instead continued as his successor as the King of Asgard where he had a child of his own. (Thor v3 #7) As a young boy, he stated that he loved his brother Cul more than the sun and the moon. (Mighty Thor v1 #7) During the War of the Realms, he wore a suit of Iron Man Armor leading to him being briefly being known as the Iron All-Father. (War of the Realms v1 #4)
From Freyja, he had his first child who was a daughter named Aldrif though she was believed to had been killed and it was only many years later did he learn that she survived and grew up as Angela under the Angels. (Angela: Asgard's Assassin v1 #2) A second child from Frigga was Balder though Odin had to hide the child's parentage from him due to a prophecy relating to his death. (Thor v3 #10) With the Mother Earth Gaea, he had another son which was Thor Odinson though the child's birth mother was kept a secret from him and instead he was raised by Odin's other wife. (Thor v1 #300) At some point, he mated with a giantess named Grid with her giving birth to his son Vidar Odinson though the half-giant child was banished from Asgard. (Thor Annual v1 #12) In the modern age, he had his youngest daughter with Freyja with her being named Laussa. (Angela: Asgard's Assassin v1 #6)
It was said that Odin loved disguises and to fool people as well as surprise them with no one being his equal. (Thor v1 #355)
Odin's mercy was said to be without peer but equally was his wrath all-consuming. (Thor v1 #136)
Powers and abilities
As an Asgardian, he had the power to merge with his brothers Ve and Vili where their fusion combined their great power allowing them to become a giant. A powerful foe could cause the three to break into their component parts. After Ve and Vili's death, their power merged with their brother that became known as the Odin-Power. (Thor v1 #349)
The monarch of Asgard was able to summon the awesome forces of nature that followed his commands with him being able to hurl mighty meteor bolts at his foes. With his sword, he was able to strike with such force that he split entire mountains in two and open chasms that led to the fiery realm of Surtur. (Journey into Mystery v1 #98)
The Odin-power he could gift onto others to act on his behalf such as depriving an Asgardian of their full strength. (Thor v1 #126) Such was his power that he could also confer godhood upon mortals giving them the abilities of Asgardians. (Thor v1 #136) Odin's power also allowed him to bring the dead back to life. (Thor v1 #300)
Odin Force also allowed him to stop time itself, and even allow him the ability to travel through time. (Thor v2 #79)
One of the artifacts that he wore as symbol of his status was the Ring Imperial that was worn his entire ruling life. (Thor v2 #40)
The chief weapon in his arsenal was the heaven-spear Gungnir that was forged from magical sunlight by the Dwarves. Odin stated that it was his inheritance from Asgard's Elder Gods with none but Odin being able to lay a finger on it. (Thor Annual v1 #11) Unlike Mjolnir, the spear had no magical safeguards which meant anyone could technically wield it though the idea of anyone attempting to do so beyond Odin was unthinkable to the Asgardians. (Thunderbolts v1 #141)
A further armament of his was Oversword of Asgard that was also known as the Odinsword. Such was its power that legend said that if it ever left its sheath then the universe was set to end. (Journey into Mystery v1 #117)
Another weapon of Odin's was the Mace of the War-Myths. (Thor v1 #312) He also wielded the Imperial Sceptre of Supremacy could be used in combat to consume cosmic blasts directed at him or he could use it to direct molecular cyclone. Despite such feats, the ceremonial sceptre itself lacked any power of its own as it simply channelled Odin's own might. (Journey into Mystery v1 #123)
During the battle against Malekith, a wounded Odin came to wear a suit of Iron Man Armor in order to fight more effectively against the Dark Elves. The armor functions similarly to an Iron Man Armor, including flight and repulsor capabilities from the hands and feet both. The design came from Stark, then was infused with Dwarven magic and laced with pure Wakandan Vibranium. The sigils and lines along the armor glow violet when active, with carvings visible along the point of where a beard would be. The helmet can be dissolved at will without any effort, being mystically connected to the wearer. (War of the Realms v1 #4)
After the death of his body, Odin's spirit came to reside in the mystical hammer Mjolnir. In this state, Odin was able to manipulate the hammer to a certain degree, including flying it through the air and controlling its trajectory. He was able to manipulate Mjolnir to the extent to where he could have it move faster than the speed of sound and strike a powerful blow. (Hulk Vs. Thor: Banner of War Alpha v1 #1) Odin was also able to negate or alter Mjolnir's worthiness enchantment, allowing others to be bestowed with the power of Thor. (Thor v6 #26)
By his side, he had two ravens that served him named Hugun (Thought) and Munin (Memory) that gave him information on dangers and developments. (Thor v1 #274)
In Asgard, Odin was the realm eternals ruler and his law was considered supreme. (Thor v1 #126)
