Mangog

Mangog is a character appearing in American comic books published by Marvel Comics.

The character first appeared in Thor #154 (July 1968) and was created by Stan Lee and Jack Kirby.

The character was based on the giants Gog and Magog, who would combine their bodies to become Gogmagog.

The character was described in his debut as being the sum total of the hatred of "a billion billion beings" and the sole survivor of an alien species who attempted to invade Asgard before Odin stopped them. Imprisoned beneath Asgard, Mangog is freed by the rock troll Ulik, in a failed bid to secure an ally against the gods. Mangog storms Asgard, intent on obtaining the Odinsword to destroy the universe. Thor battles Mangog to a standstill, until Odin stops him by breaking the spell which had created Mangog as a living prison for his entire race.

Mangog is later freed by Loki, but defeated after being drained of his power. With the aid of the traitorous magician Igron, Mangog assumes the form of an imprisoned Odin, and intends to once again draw the Odinsword. After a series of skirmishes with Thor, the creature is defeated when Thor frees Odin.

The character reappears twice in the second volume of Thor: as the servant of a clone of the Titan Thanos (destroyed by Thor) and in a desolated Asgard during Ragnarok (dispelled by Thor with the Odinforce) Mangog reappears in the Thunderstrike mini-series when accidentally summoned by a mystical generator, and is eventually defeated when cast into a distant star.

In The Mighty Thor, Mangog decimates Asgard until Jane Foster / Thor throws him into the sun. He later absorbs Mjolnir's power and becomes the God of Hammers before Thor fatally drains his energy.

Mangog possesses the strength, stamina, durability and endurance of a "billion billion beings", and has the ability to manipulate magic for energy projection and shapeshifting.
