Description
Marvel Comics’ iteration of the frost giant Ymir was created by Stan Lee and Jack Kirby and first appeared in JOURNEY INTO MYSTERY #97 in October of 1963. He was among the first Asgardian creatures to exist and he spawned the Asgardian gods. He considers all other forms of life besides the Frost Giants of Niffelheim to be aberrations that must be destroyed. Ages ago he battled Odin and was defeated and became imprisoned in a ring of magical fire.

Odin's true origin is shrouded in mystery, often only delivered in short stories by Odin himself. Odin is presumed to be the son of Bor (father, one of the first Asgardians) and Bestla (mother, a mountain giantess). Bor and Bestla had two other sons, Vili and Ve. According to myth and legend, Vili, Ve, and Odin journeyed into the realm of Surtur when they were younger. Vili and Ve sacrificed themselves to allow Odin to escape from Surtur's realm. Upon their deaths, Odin's own godly attributes were increased as a result of his brother's powers joining with his. Odin is the father of Thor with Jord (actually Gaea), and the adoptive father of Loki.
