Fire Demons (Marvel)

The Fire Demons are a species that feature in Marvel Comics.

History

Surtur ruled them as their lord and master who resided in the Sea of Flames in Muspell. (Thor v1 #349)

Long ago, a young Odin journeyed through the wastelands where he entered Muspelheim with his brothers. The Sons of Bor went on a period of discovery where they encountered the Fire Demons who brought the three to their master. Surtur greeted the grandsons of Buri and confirmed their words that the fire giant would bring about the end of all existence in the future. Odin had threatened to destroy the Eternal Flame of Destruction that would ignite the demon's blade but Surtur stated that the flames could not be destroyed as their existence was decreed by the fates. This caused conflict with the Asgardians as the Fire Demons attacked but the sons of Bor used their power to freeze the fiery beings. Odin then merged with his brothers Ve and Vili to become a giant being who battled Surtur himself. The intensity of their fight caused Surtur to sink into the Sea of Flames whilst the merged form of the three brothers was broken returning them to normal. They quickly stole the Eternal Flames of Destruction and fled the angry Surtur after his Sword of Doom had been shattered. With the Fire Giant and Fire Demons in pursuit, the sons of Bor made their way to escape the Kingdom of Fire but Ve and Vili remained behind to delay Surtur to allow their brother Odin to escape. This led to their death with the doorway to Muspelheim being destroyed whereupon their lifeforce joined with their brother Odin to become the Odin-Power. (Thor v1 #349)

During the war of the realms, the Sons of Muspell attacked the Dwarven home of Nidavellir where they nearly overwhelmed the native defenders only to be destroyed at the hands of the War Thor. After defeating them, he journeyed to Muspelheim in order to confront the Queen of Cinders herself. (Mighty Thor v2 #21)
