Hela is the Goddess of Death in the Marvel Cinematic Universe, a figure whose legacy looms over Asgard even in Thor: Love and Thunder. Introduced in Thor: Ragnarok, she is revealed to be Odin’s firstborn, cast away and erased from history once her hunger for conquest threatened the balance of the Nine Realms. Hela draws her power directly from Asgard itself, making her nearly unstoppable on her home ground, capable of manifesting weapons at will and overwhelming gods and armies alike. Ruthless, regal, and unflinchingly confident, she believes domination is not cruelty but destiny, viewing Asgard’s golden age as one built on bloodshed she alone was honest enough to embrace. Although she does not physically appear in Love and Thunder, Hela’s impact endures through Asgard’s past, its weapons, and the scars left on Thor and Loki, serving as a reminder of the empire Asgard once was and the cost of unchecked ambition.
