The earth beyond comics was introduced toHela , the most grievous member of Thor ’s prolonged family thanks to the MCU . But while audience may walk away believing Odin to have had another daughter they had never take heed of , the trueness is a morsel more complicated . Hela is the Asgardian rule of Hel and Niflheim – and a constant enemy to Thor . But a sister ? Not so much .
make by author Stan Lee and creative person Jack Kirby inJourney into Mystery # 102(1964 ) , Hela was the child ofLoki ( in one of his many avatar ) and giantess Angrboða fromJotunheim . When she was one-time enough , the All - Father Odin lend her with the title Goddess of the Dead and take to their undead land . Constantly hungry for more magnate , Hela would seek to claim the dead that live in the Asgardian nirvana Valhalla which would be the first of her many showdown with Odin ’s son Thor , with some of those conflicts due to her participation in schemes dream up by her father Loki . wield considerable power , Hela has not only come close to permanently killing Thor but also has hold her own against many of his hefty superhero allies from Midgard .
As with most stories , the detail can convert depending on the storyteller so when it was time for Hela ’s big silver screen debut , portrayed byactress Cate Blanchett , inThor : Ragnarok(2017 ) , her origination report waschanged in a significant way . After scarce escaping their initial encounter with Hela , Thor and his trickster half - buddy Loki discover that Hela was not only Odin ’s true firstborn but also the original wielder of Thor ’s power hammer Mjolnir . fight back alongside her father as they subdue the Nine Realms together , Odin became alarmed at his girl ’s ambition and warmonger ways .

Although Hela stay on a powerful enemy regardless of her link to Thor , the musical theme of him fighting his forget and banished sister does strike more of a chord rather than a power hungry niece who seems to be following in her father ’s maniacal footfall . It feels a bit more personal view Thor had no idea she even existed while in the funnies , he is quite cognisant and ready to defeat her , if possible . In the end , comic books have become their own mythology with their own stories changing and develop as our manner to interpret and understand their message changes with them .
Whatever her backstory , Hela is still a dangerous and yet of the essence character in both Asgardian and Marvel ’s evolving mythology . As long as Thor bring the roar ( and lightning ) and Loki schema , you may be certain that when their time comes , Helawill be there ready to take them with open branch and an all - knowing grinning on her human face .
