Biography

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)

Following his return to Asgardia, Allfather Odin appointed his brother Cul as Royal Inquisitor and Minister of Justice despite the objections of his son. (Thor v4 #5) He was tasked with the goal of reclaiming the hammer Mjolnir after a new female Thor had claimed it following Thor Odinson being declared unworthy of its power. To achieve this goal from the Allfather, Cul used his spirit to animate the Destroyer which attacked the new Thor nearly defeating her until the Odinson brought alongside numerous allies to aid her in the battle. (Thor v4 #7)
