Hela (Earth-616)

Category:Neutrals
=== Early Life ===
Hela was originally the artificial Black Infinity Stone created by the then-All-Father Bor Burison. He had his magicians create the stone in a forbidden area in Niffleheim, but were suddenly attacked by the Mad Titan Thanos from the future. He sought to get his hands on the stone but was prevented by Bor and his Valkyries. Utilizing the Galactus Seed and the Eternal Flame, Miskunn and her fellow magicians created the Stone to act as fuel, and as Thanos came to confront them the Stone transformed into a baby girl. Thanos sought to sacrifice her in order to gain her power, only to be stopped by Doctor Doom, Thor and Laussa Odinsdottir from the future. Laussa took the newborn Hela through time, resulting Hela becoming a teenager before leaving her in the care of a young Loki who raised her together with his lover Angerboda as their daughter.
=== Queen of Hel ===
The three Asgardian goddesses of fate, the Norns, are said to have warned the Asgardian gods that Hela would prove to be a great danger to them. Odin, ruler of Asgard, decreed that Hela would become goddess and ruler of the spirits of the dead on the day of her maturity. These spirits were in the other-dimensional realms of Hel and Niffleheim, two more of the Nine Worlds, both of which Hela ruled. However, Odin himself directly ruled the souls of Asgardians and their human worshippers who died in battle as heroes, and had the palace of Valhalla built in a distant section of Asgard to house them.
