Cul Borson was a member of the race of beings known as the [[Asgardians]] where he was the son of King Bor and had three brothers namely [[Odin (Marvel)|Odin]], Vi and Villi. (Mighty Thor v1 #7) As a young boy, he journeyed freely across the realms and held no black malice within him. On one such journey, he was ambushed by a group of giants that asked scorned the gods for living in the heavens and threw him off a cliff. Cul fell but did not die from the fall though his body was wounded but even more so he developed an un-quenching thirst to instill fear in others. After making a splint, he crawled on his wounded body to the encampment of the giants who slept. Once there, one by one he killed them in their sleep and left only a single survivor who awoke to find the bloodstained writings of Cul Borson. On it, Cul had written that the gods did not live in the sky but on the earth and that those that resided there lived only at their pleasure. The terrified giant later spread the words of the young Asgardian. (Journey into Mystery v1 #625) After the death of King Bor, Cul succeeded his father and became the new ruler of Asgard. Under his reign, he instituted an atmosphere of fear among the populace with this being enforced by his followers known as the [[Worthy (Marvel)|Worthy]]. (Mighty Thor v1 #7) In addition, he had a number of warriors that served him with these being known as the '''Draumar'''. (New Mutants v3 #31) In time, Odin saw the madness of his brothers tyranny and sought to stop him where he consulted the wisdom of the world tree Yggdrasil but had to sacrifice his eye in the process. By the time of their adulthood, King Cul ruled from his fortress of '''Asheim''' when his brothers Odin, Vi and Villi struck against him. They slaughtered his many followers leading to an eventual confrontation between Cul and Odin. Odin defeated Cul and imprisoned him whereupon Asheim was devastated to prevent it from being used by any Asgardian in the future. In time, Asheim became the realm of Midgard whilst Odin took over the throne of Asgard as the All-Father. (Mighty Thor v1 #7)
