History

Brunnhilde served as a Valkyrie in the Asgardian army in the service of King Odin. One fateful day, the King sent the Valkyries after his daughter, Hela, whom Odin had grown to fear for her lust for conquest and bloodshed. The goddess quickly overpowered the Valkyries, and Brunnhilde was powerless to watch as her sisters-in-arms, including the woman she loved, all died gruesome deaths. Brunnhilde herself was able to escape, her faith in Asgard shattered. She spent centuries wandering the universe, developing an addiction to alcohol to help herself cope.

Brunnhilde eventually found herself on the distant planet of Sakaar, where she became an employee of the planet’s hedonistic tyrant, the Grandmaster. As a scrapper, the former Valkyrie was tasked with abducting people and forcing them to compete in the Grandmaster’s gladiator games, the Contest of Champions. She became one of the Grandmaster’s favorite bounty hunters when she brought to him his favorite gladiator, a creature known as the Hulk. The Hulk himself also seemed to take a liking to her, nicknaming her “Angry Girl”.

Two years later, Odin’s second-born child, Thor, arrived on Sakaar, whereupon Brunnhilde also kidnapped him for the Grandmaster. Thor was positively giddy to meet a Valkyrie, having greatly admired the stories he had heard of their heroics, but Brunnhilde insisted that she wanted nothing to do with her Asgardian heritage, a position she maintained even after Thor told her that Hela had returned and invaded Asgard. When Thor and the Hulk disappeared soon after, the Grandmaster sent Brunnhilde and Thor’s adopted brother Loki to find them. Eager to obtain the reward, Loki attempted to distract Brunnhilde by forcing her to relive the painful memory of the deaths of the Valkyries. Instead, this only angered her. She defeated the trickster god and announced to Thor that she would join him in his quest to defeat Hela.

Brunnhilde returned to Asgard with Thor and a mysterious human man named Bruce Banner, whom Brunnhilde felt she vaguely recognized. She donned her Valkyrie armor and took on Hela’s army of the undead and Fenris Wolf. Bruce Banner transformed himself into the Hulk to defeat the creature, while Thor dueled with his sister. Loki, having escaped Sakaar, arrived in an enormous spaceship alongside more of the Grandmaster’s gladiators. The last Valkyrie proved her worth on the battlefield, but ultimately nothing could stop the goddess as long as she drew her power from Asgard. Thor realized the only way to stop Hela was to bring about Ragnarok, a cataclysmic event that would destroy Asgard, which he instructed Loki to initiate while he, the Hulk, and the Valkyrie brought the surviving Asgardian refugees into the spaceship. The Valkyrie boarded the ship and as it flew away into space, she watched her home planet be reduced to rubble. The Valkyrie was present as Thor was crowned king of the surviving Asgardians, and declared that he intended to lead his people to settle on Earth.
