Heimdall (character)
Heimdall (/ˈheɪmdɑːl/) is a fictional character appearing in American comic books published by Marvel Comics. The character is based on the Norse deity Heimdall. Heimdall is described as all-seeing and all-hearing and is the sole protector of the Bifröst in Asgard.
Idris Elba portrayed the character in the Marvel Cinematic Universe films Thor (2011), Thor: The Dark World (2013), Avengers: Age of Ultron (2015), Thor: Ragnarok (2017), Avengers: Infinity War (2018), and Thor: Love and Thunder (2022).
Heimdall first appeared in a comic in Journey into Mystery #85 (October 1962) and was created by Stan Lee, Larry Lieber and Jack Kirby.
Heimdall is the brother of the warrior Sif. He is the all-seeing and all-hearing guardian sentry of Asgard who stands on the rainbow bridge Bifröst to watch for any attacks to Asgard. He partly won the role through using his eyesight to see an army of giants several days' march from Asgard, allowing them to be defeated before they reached Asgard, and making their king a prisoner. For ages, he stood as the guardian of Asgard, defending the city's gates from any intruders, and was one of the most trusted servants of Odin.
Later still, Heimdall battled Thor at Loki's command. In the prophecy of Ragnarok, he severed the Bifröst and sounded Gjallarhorn. He traveled to Earth with Kamorr the dwarf to search for human candidates for godhood. He gathered three such human beings, and arranged for them to be exposed to Ego-Prime's energies and become the first three Young Gods.
When Asgard was invaded by the fire demon Surtur, Heimdall attempted to defend the gates, but was overcome, and the Bifröst was shattered. No longer needing to be stationary, Heimdall spent more time in Asgard. Heimdall is given the Great Scepter of Odin to guard by Loki.
When Odin returned to Asgard after Surtur's defeat, he gave a portion of his power to Heimdall to restore the Bifröst, and Heimdall resumed his duties.
Shortly afterwards, when Odin was about to enter his Odinsleep, he gave the Odinpower to Heimdall so he could rule Asgard until he awoke.[volume & issue needed] Heimdall had to deal with a major crisis in the life of Thor, as Thor had been banished into the subconscious of the mortal Eric Masterson, who had assumed Thor's responsibilities.[volume & issue needed] Sif was determined to find the real Thor, and her determination drove a wedge between her and Heimdall.[volume & issue needed] When Karnilla conspired with Loki to rule Asgard by having Odin awaken with Loki's soul possessing him, Heimdall was branded a traitor and banished to the Dream Dimension, ruled by the demon Nightmare.[volume & issue needed] During this incident, his mind had been altered, leaving him little more than being able to follow directions.[volume & issue needed] The Enchantress battles Nightmare in order to save him, ultimately rescuing them both.[volume & issue needed] Eric Masterson helped restore Odin whose body had been taken over by Loki with Mephisto's help and later Thor as well from the soul shroud.
