The Mangog

Mangog reawakened once more where he emerged in Old Asgard and encountered the transformed Volstagg, who had lifted the Mjolnir of a dead world to become the War Thor who was accompanied by Thor's goat Toothgnasher. Mangog killed Toothgnasher by ripping his head off, and then raged that he would bring about the ultimate judgment upon the Asgardians before charging at Volstagg, claiming he would be the first to perish. (Mighty Thor v2 #700) A brutal battle broke out between the two immortal entities which shook the very foundation of Old Asgard. Even armed with the might of a dead universe, War Thor was barely able to match the unstoppable Mangog who had easily parried and countered some of his opponent's best blows with ease, saying while he did not know the newly changed Asgardian; he was still an Asgardian, still a god, and that was all he needed to know. While viciously pummeling Volstagg, Mangog continued to walk through the potent god storm which was whipped up by him, which happened to be the same power that nearly sunk Muspelheim, without so much as batting an eye. Mangog proceeded to pummel and throttle Volstagg, even going so far as to absorb his lightning when the latter shoved his hammer into the beast's mouth, only for Mangog to laugh it off before horking it back up at him, stating it tasted like another dead god. As the broken and bleeding Volstagg reached for his hammer, Mangog effortlessly crushed it to bits in his claws before knocking the now powerless Asgardian near off the edge of his old home and into space. Still seeking the location of the other Asgardian Gods, Mangog began to interrogate the now weakening Volstagg as he reverted to his previous form without his hammer until Malekith the Accursed turned up, giving him that information willingly. With a grunt of his foul breath, Mangog took off towards Saturn and to the location of Asgardia. (Mighty Thor v2 #701)

While keeping watch over the realm eternal. Heimdall the All-Seeing had tuned in to watch events unfold within as Jane Foster's cancer took a turn for the worse. In that instant, as the guardsmen lowered his head in shame and regret, Mangog came crashing in, blaring with fury and spite, bellowing that all gods would perish in Hellfire that day. (Mighty Thor v2 #702) Arriving at the Rainbow Bridge, he battled Heimdall where he blinded the god and shattered the Bifrost before it could be used to send him elsewhere. It was then that he battled the armies of Asgardia that were unable to defeat their foe. The All-Mother Frigga entered into the fray by using her essence within the Destroyer. Despite the weapons power, it was unable to defeat the Mangog who ripped out the arm of the suit of armour. He then broke into the chambers of All-Father after defeating the last line of defenders where he was confronted by Odin and his son Thor Odinson. (Mighty Thor v1 #703)

Alternate Versions

In other media

Television

• In Avengers Assemble, the character appeared as a villain where he made his first appearance in "All-Fathers Day" where he was voiced by actor J.B. Blanc. He was shown as an enemy of All-Father Odin who had barred him from entering the realm of Asgard. As such, he swore vengeance against the leader of the Asgardians and had his own blade named Rungnur that was the antithesis of Odin's Gungir and could actually feed on the Odinforce to empower Mangog. When Odin came to Midgard to take Thor from the Avengers, he left the safety of Asgard allowing for Mangog to attack him. During the battle, Odin managed to hold his own until Mangog knocked him down and grew in power by feeding on the Odinforce. He then took Odin's Gungir spear combining it with his own sword where he turned into a gigantic being and sought to rule over Earth. This was until Thor along with the Avengers disarmed him of his weapon that led to him returning to normal size. Once defeated, Odin reclaimed Gungir and had Heimdall open a portal that sent Mangog elsewhere but not before he vowed to get revenge against the All-Father.
