=== Hela’s Exile ===
Thousands of years ago, Odin banished his daughter Hela from Asgard and imprisoned her in Hel after a failed coup attempt. Hela later attempted to escape, prompting Odin to send the Valkyrie to stop her. She successfully overpowered the warriors, killing all but one, Brunnhilde. Odin intervened before Hela could escape, defeating her and returning her to her prison.
=== Convergence ===
In 2013, Hel was among the worlds labeled by Erik Selvig on his chalkboard mapping the Nine Realms. Hel was also visible among other realms during the Convergence during the Battle of Greenwich.
=== Hela's Freedom ===
In 2017, Hela was freed from her imprisonment in Hel, following her father’s death, as there was no force keeping her at bay. She then stepped out of Hel via a portal-like gateway to Earth.
