Biography
Serving Hela
Conquering the Realms
Fenris served Hela as her loyal companion and mount during the expansion of Asgard around the Nine Realms. Fenris died some time after Odin exiled Hela.[1]
Resurrection
Following her death, Fenris' corpse was stored under Odin's Vault, right up until her mistress, Hela, resurrected Fenris, in a blast of green infernal energy. She was later seen with her mistress as she and Skurge round up civilians.[1]
Battle at the Rainbow Bridge
Fenris storms towards the Asgardians
As Heimdall led the surviving populace towards his observatory, she spotted Fenris guarding it from a distance. Fenris charged towards the Asgardians, Above, Valkyrie shot at her from the Commodore, but the gun had no affect on the giant wolf. At this point, Fenris resumed charging towards the Asgardians. Just as she was about to attack, Bruce Banner hit the bridge in front of her. Fenris paused to sniff the unmoving body. Deciding he was no threat, Fenris prepared to attack, but was suddenly dragged back by his tail and thrown away.
Fenris fights Hulk
Fenris met her challenger, Hulk, in battle by charging him and attempting to devour him whole, but only succeeded in tossing them both into the waters below. Later, Fenris is seen leaping towards Hulk, trying to devour him again, but Hulk keeps her massive jaws open. Eventually, she snatches Hulk up in her jaws and dunks him in the water, and bites painfully into Hulk's nigh impervious skin. Hulk punches Fenris off and Fenris falls down the waterfall into the void to her second death.[1]
Powers and Abilities
Powers
- Asgardian Wolf Physiology: Fenris, as an Asgardian Wolf, and the personal pet of the Goddess of Death Hela, is one of the most powerful and fearsome beings in the Nine Realms, to the point that even Heimdall showed visible signs of fear when cornered by the beast on the Rainbow Bridge, only preparing to face it once he knew it was absolutely necessary.
- Superhuman Strength: Fenris has tremendous strength that can match that of the Hulk, which allowed her to engage the latter in a brief, albeit vicious battle. Fenris' immense jaw strength allowed her to bite through Hulk's immensely durable flesh, causing Hulk to bleed, as well as to lift and throttle him around like a rag doll in his mouth. Indeed, Hulk would only win by default when Fenris fell down the waterfall into space.
- Superhuman Durability: Fenris is nigh-invulnerable, as she was unscathed after getting shot at by Asgardian ships, and even after battling the Hulk.
