Gudrun

Gudrun is an Asgardian figure from Marvel's mythic Norse realm, introduced in the alternate-reality anthology What If? #9. Rooted in the legendary world of Thor and the Asgardian Gods, she inhabits the same grand mythological corner of the Marvel Universe as Sif and Volstagg.

Emerging from the Bronze Age pages of Marvel's imaginative What If? #9 in 1978 — courtesy of a creative team that included Roy Thomas and Don Glut — Gudrun is a figure rooted in the mythic grandeur of Marvel's Asgardian Gods, a corner of the Marvel Universe where legend and superhero adventure intertwine magnificently. She's kept extraordinary company across her appearances, sharing pages with Thor, Sif, the boisterous Volstagg, and even Cyclops, and her presence across nearly four decades of publication — including the celebrated Thor by Walter Simonson — speaks to a quietly enduring place in Marvel's Norse tapestry. With two collector-recognized key issues among her modest seven appearances, Gudrun rewards the dedicated reader who loves discovering the richer, less-charted figures dwelling in Asgard's golden halls.
