The God-Slayer

A warrior born in the pages of Marvel's Thor in 1988, The God-Slayer emerged from the Copper Age mythology that Tom DeFalco and Ron Frenz were weaving through Asgard's grandest adventures. Counted among the Asgardian Gods and the legendary Warriors Three, this figure keeps formidable company — sharing the stage with the likes of Seth, the Black Knight, Volstagg, and Sif. With only a handful of catalog appearances across Thor and The Punisher Annual, The God-Slayer is a rare, tantalizing piece of late-'80s Marvel mythology — exactly the kind of discovery that makes digging through back issues so rewarding.
