Surtur (Eternal Flame)

Surtur's History

Some time later when Thor came to reclaim Asgard from the clutches of Hela, he found it too difficult a task to defeat her alone due to her incredible strength. With the surviving population of the Asgardians disembarking from Asgard on the Statesman, Thor made a decision to actualize Ragnarök and use Surtur's power to defeat and kill Hela. Knowing the Asgardian people were out of harm's way, he ordered Loki to place Surtur's crown in the Eternal Flame, thereby finally resurrecting him.

Within moments, Surtur had regained his form and then continued growing, until he smashed through the Royal Palace of Valaskjalf, completely destroying it in a massive fireball as he proudly declared himself to be Asgard's final doom while he towered over the entire Realm. While both Thor and Valkyrie defeated the horrified Hela, Surtur had begun using his Twilight Sword to lay waste to Asgard, burning the streets and smashing all of the Realm's buildings apart in his fury.

With almost all of Asgard now in flames below him, Surtur prepared to thrust his blade, as was foretold in the prophecy, straight through Asgard. However, he was briefly stopped when Hulk had jumped towards Surtur's head in an attempt to fight him. As Hulk punched at the Crown of Black Fire with the intent to overpower the Fire Demon, he failed to do so as Surtur managed to throw him away before Thor ordered Hulk to escape from Asgard with them before it was too late.

Moments before Surtur could complete his destiny, however, Hela rose from below the Bifrost Bridge and furiously attempted to battle against Surtur, using all her Necroswords to impale the Fire Demon. However, Surtur remained unaffected and, as foretold in the prophecy, he penetrated his blade straight through Hela and embedded it deep within Asgard. This final strike caused the foundations of Asgard to implode, finally destroying it and killing Surtur.
