hela (marvel)

A supervillain from the Marvel universe. Created by writer Stan Lee and artist Jack Kirby, Hela first appeared in Journey into Mystery #102 (Mar. 1964) and is based on the goddess Hel from Norse Mythology.

The Asgardian Goddess of Death who serves as the ruler of Hel and Niflheim, she is usually depicted as an adversary to Thor. Hela was originally the artificial Death Stone created by the then All-Father Bor Burison and his magicians, but they were suddenly attack by Thanos from the future. During the confrontation, the stone transformed into a baby girl and Thanos tried to sacrifice her in order to gain her powers, but he was ultimately stopped by Doctor Doom, Thor and Laussa from the future. Laussa took the baby Hela through time and put her in the care of Loki and Angrboda, who raised her as their daughter. In the Marvel Cinematic Universe, she is the eldest daughter of Odin, making her Thor and Loki's older sister.

As an Asgardian and the Goddess of Death, Hela possesses several powers, including Asgardian Physiology (superhuman strength, speed, stamina, durability), immortality, magic manipulation and control over life and death. Hela has long black hair, green eyes, black lips and usually wears a black and green bodysuit, a green cloak and a cowl with a spiked crown. Without her cloak, she becomes very weak and her powers are greatly reduced.

Hela made her live-action debut in the film Thor: Ragnarok, where she is portrayed by Cate Blanchett. She also appears in various games, including Marvel Future Fight and Marvel Rivals. In Marvel Rivals, she is voiced by Nika Futterman (EN) and Sawashiro Miyuki (JP).
