History
The being that would come to be known as Fandral began its life on a distant world manipulated by the Celestials. As part of their method of reproduction, the Celestials imbued Fandral's world with an embryo and manipulated the genetics of its inhabitants to grant them the power to defend their world, and thus the embryo within it. Fandral and his people eventually reached a point in their mutation where they lost all shape and definition, instead becoming defined by the perceptions of others.
Escaping their world at some point, they made their way to Earth, where they encountered the ancient Norse. The Norse, and in particular one among their number, a storyteller known as Donnerson, shaped Fandral and the other Asgardians by believing them to be the gods of their myths come to Earth. Donnerson would merge with two of the Asgardians and assume the role of Odin.
It was then that Fandral assumed his current form, a member of the Warriors Three and faithful companion of Thor. [1] [2]
Much of Fandral's subsequent history presumably mirrors that of his Earth-616 counterpart.
Following the battle against the final host of Celestials, Loki and Thor learned the truth of their origins and conspired to bring down Odin and free their people from his story. Part of their plan involved accompanying Dr. Strange and the members of Xen to Asgard to free Clea who had been Odin's prisoner since the battle against the Celestials. In order to provide opposition, Odin would summon various beings from all over Asgard to combat these invaders, including the Warriors Three. Thor, Loki, Dr. Strange and Xen would battle all assembled including Fandral. Although the appearance of the Warriors Three shook Thor's resolve, he stuck true to his cause and was forced to kill his long time friends.[3]
Fandral and the others would be sent to Hel, however when Thor was banished there as well in exchange for Clea's freedom, Fandral and the others would be freed when he showed them that they could cheat Death. When Odin's lies were revealed, Fandral would briefly return to his previously undefined form with the rest of those of Asgard, but he and the rest of his people ultimately chose to return to Odin and continue acting out his fantasies.[3] [2]
