Shortly after arrival, Hela murdered both Volstagg and Fandral before taking on Skurge as her new ally. She later pursued Loki and Thor as they tried to escape using the Bifrost, and managed to banish them to the planet Sakaar, while she arrived in Asgard. Her power was displayed early on, as she not only caught Thor's hammer Mjølnir easily, but also destroyed it using only her hand.

After Odin passed on, Hela broke free from her prison and introduced herself to her brothers, also expressing dismay in not seeing Odin die.

Once Thor and Loki find Odin in Norway (with Doctor Strange's help), Odin revealed Hela's existence and her relation to the boys, while also revealing that he was dying. Hela ended up banished by Odin, whose very presence kept her from returning. Hela planned to continue her megalomaniacal quest, which included killing all of the Valkyrie, except for one who escaped and went into hiding. At one point, Odin decided to become a more benevolent king and ruled with peace, which dismayed Hela. She stood by her father's side as he conquered the Nine Realms with bloodshed, killing many who stood in their path. Hela's backstory revealed that she served as Odin's strongest warrior - Hela herself stated that she was the executioner. She was portrayed by the two-time Academy Award winning actress Cate Blanchett, who also played Lady Galadriel in the Middle Earth Saga, Irina Spalko in Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull, Marissa Wiegler in Hanna, Lady Tremaine in Cinderella, Penelope in Family Guy and will later voice Kaa in Mowgli. She was the revealed first born offspring of Odin, and the older sister of Thor and Loki. Hela Odinsdottir was the main villainess from the 2017 film, Thor: Ragnarok.
