Thus, he arrived on Earth with a powerful enchanted hammer which Thor recognizes as being the one that will summon the Serpent. Ulik was defeated but his hammer falls to the ground where HYDRA agents attempt to acquire it only to be stopped by Doctor Doom. His study of it leads to him wielding the weapon and using it to summon the Midgard Serpent though he struggles in attempting to control it. The Avengers battle the beast with Thor believing that prophecy meant that he would need to sacrifice himself to defeat the creature. However, Iron Man manages to track the portal that brought Ulik to Earth and they herd the Serpent into the gateway with Doom who attempted to control the beast which led to both being trapped in the Asgardian underworld. In "The Doomstroyer", the Serpent was shown to guard Doctor Doom in Helheim as he commanded the Destroyer Armor from the Helhorn throne until Thor managed to knock it unconscious into the lava.
