When his brother Balder is killed by a mistletoe-tipped arrow, Hermod races to Hel to speak to Hela about a way to revive him.
Hermod’s gifts make him the ultimate messenger, a role he often plays at his father’s behest. He has made 29 appearances in the Earth-616 reality. One of Queen Freyja “Frigga” Freyyrdottir and King Odin Borson’s three sons, Hermod is the dashing (no pun) prince of Asgard who first appeared in Thor (Vol 1, issue 275). That’s right, we’re talking about the god of speed, Hermod Odinson. The average Asgardian can lift around 25 tons, so we can expect Vali, as an Odinson, to easily surpass that. We can safely assume that Vali boasts the standard powers of the Aesir, such as super-strength and stamina. He is presumed to be alive and living in Asgard. Not much is mentioned of Vali after these events, and he only appears in two issues, 293 and 294. Vali then lends himself to merging with the other surviving Aesir to reform Odin, who then goes on to recreate the Asgardians from figurines sourced from the Ragnarok rubble. He is most noted for managing to live through Ragnarok alongside his brother Vidar, and seven other Asgardian gods, thereby fulfilling part of Odin’s prophecies. Unfortunately, the comics don’t detail much of Vali’s personality or even any particular strengths or aliases.
