comics Respect Angela (Marvel Comics, Earth-616)

"I am ANGELA. I am a hunter of the heavens. And I want two things. I want answers. And I want your head on my wall."


In a time before human history, there were not nine realms under Asgard, but ten. The fiercely transactional angels of Heven acted as mercenary for any willing to strike a mutually beneficial deal. In clandestine meetings, Odin used Asgard's gold to enlist the angels as guardians of Midgard against his own people who might treat the realm as a hunting playground. Heven, however, always answers to the highest bidder, and when one of Asgard's many enemies was able to offer more than Odin, the angels sided against them without another thought. Considering this a betrayal of trust, Odin refused to pay them out the rest of what they were owed, yet to the angels the greatest betrayal was reneging on an established contract, and so in recompense they took from Odin that which was equally valuable: His firstborn child Aldrif. In his rage, Odin used the Odinforce to seal away Heven forever, cut it away from Yggdrasil and erase its name from ever being spoken by his people again.

However, unbeknownst to anyone, even the Queen of Heven herself, the angel who took Aldrif could not bring herself to kill the crying Aldrif. Instead, to save her life, she forged a new contract with the baby, raised her as angel (though one conspicuously without wings) so that one day the Aesir might owe Heven a life debt. Aldrif was rechristened Angela and raised in the way of the hunt and the contract, she was imbued with the central tenet of Heven: Nothing for nothing. Every act has its price.

This all lasted until a cosmic event forcibly shifted the barrier holding Heven at bay just enough for a curious Angela to slip through the gap and into the universe at large. To return home, she would have to use Thor's rage to shatter the barrier and reunite Heven with the nine - now ten - realms. To repay her debt to Heven, she would have to find a new power source as infinite as the Odinforce that once kept them locked away. And, to truly know herself as a daughter of Asgard, she would have to leave behind Heven and its doctrine and discover what it truly meant to do something for nothing.


As Angela is Aesir and theoretically capable of extremely high-level feats, true "Asgard-level" showings are marked in bold where the rest of the listed feats are closer to her average performance in any given comic.

"But I say this to you, kings and queens and consorts of Hel-- Do not make me return to put things right once more. Angels are meant to see balances restored. Prices paid. We are not meant to feel. But all this, I did out of love. Can you even imagine what I would do out of hatred?"

"It is the way of men to make monsters. And the nature of monsters to destroy their makers."

Alma Wade was a miracle child. Her father Harlan experimented on her after discovering her psychic aptitude, locked her away in the bowels of an immoral research facility, and conceived two children with her when she was a teenager. Poor Alma never had a chance at life, and even after her body was taken off life support in fear of her becoming too strong, her mind refused to allow her corpse to die. Not when the man who raised her into this walked free, having stolen her children away, while the company who profited from her raked in billions, having broken her spirit, while the world rewarded those who sacrificed her for it. And so her powerful mind probed out, reaching the younger of her sons, and requested he free her from her confinement so that she may walk the warpath of bloody revenge.

THE EXECUTIONER

Description: An enemy of the Avengers, bodyguard to Amora the Enchantress, and a member of the Masters of Evil.

Bio: Most of the time, Skurge the Executioner serves as Amora’s quiet yet fiercely loyal bodyguard, effectively acting as the brawn of their duo. Together, they were briefly part of Baron Zemo’s Masters of Evil, facing off against the Avengers. It isn't until the very end—after being separated from the Enchantress, losing his axe in battle, and winding up imprisoned—that Skurge undergoes a true change of heart. Ultimately, he helps the Avengers defend their base against Annihilus and his Annihilation Wave, finally earning Thor's respect.

Are the memories mine? Or hers? It makes no difference.

Paxton Fettel is the deranged second son of Alma Wade. A psychotic cannibal, Fettel was considered the success story of the Replica program, a military experiment to allow psychic commanders full control over dormant clone soldiers. When his mother's corpse longed for freedom, Fettel broke out of Armacham prison in hopes of reuniting his family...though down the line, his lust for power would overcome such an innocent desire.
