Powers and Abilities
As an Asgardian, Valkyrie possesses superhuman physical attributes such as strength, stamina, speed, durability and reflexes, and she is an extremely powerful combatant. She wields a double edged sword, which she uses perfectly, either separate as two blades or a single long sword staff.

Powers
Valkyrie possesses all of the various superhuman attributes common among the Asgardians, including superhuman strength, speed, agility, reflexes, durability, and longevity.
 * Asgardian Physiology: As an Asgardian, Valkyrie has superhuman abilities.
 * Superhuman Strength: Like all Asgardians, Valkyrie is superhumanly strong and possesses greater physical strength than the average Asgardian as a Warrior Maiden. However, as the Leader of the Valkyries, her strength surpasses all the other Warrior Maidens, superior to that of Loki, and nearly matching with that of Thor and Hulk.
 * Superhuman Agility: Valkyrie naturally possesses greater agility, dexterity, balance, and body coordination than that of a normal human being, allowing her to easily jump and fall on her feet.
 * Superhuman Speed: Valkyrie can move at high speeds, allowing her to dodge a powerful attack from Hulk, to deflect a wave of projectiles hurled at her by Hela in rapid succession, and to momentarily incapacitate Hela with a sudden jump on the latter.
 * Superhuman Stamina: Like all Asgardians, Valkyrie's musculature produces considerably less fatigue toxins during physical activity than the musculature of humans, which allowed her to fight many Berserkers, and even the more powerful Hela herself, without tiring at all.
 * Superhuman Durability: Valkyrie's body is much more resistant to physical harm than that of a human. hence, she was able to withstand Hela's mighty attacks, falls from great heights, extreme pressures and temperatures and powerful explosions.
 * Regenerative Healing Factor: Despite her body's resistance, Valkyrie can be injured like any other Asgardian. However, her metabolism enables her to rapidly regenerate damaged bodily tissue with greater speed and efficiency than that of a human.
 * Longevity: Like all Asgardians, Valkyrie ages at a rate that is much slower than that of a human being, allowing her to remain physically young for thousands of years.

Abilities

 * Master Combatant: Valkyrie is an exceptional combatant, and has received extensive training in unarmed combat and swordsmanship, which enabled her to serve as one of the Valkyrior Warrior Maidens. Being their leader, Valkyrie's skills are the highest among them, which allowed her to fairly quickly overpower and chain up Loki, to easily defeat several Berserkers, and to even aid Thor in fighting against Hela herself.
 * Swordsmanship: Valkyrie has proven to be a very skilled swordswoman, managing to defeat several Bersekers, and to fight off Hela with her sword.
 * Multilingualism: As an Asgardian, Valkyrie is well-versed in the native languages of several alien species among the Nine Realms.
 * Expert Rider: As Valkyrie, she once rode a white pegasus.
 * Expert Driver: To be added
 * Expert Leader: Having commanded the Valkyries for years, it is to assume that Valkyrie is very capable leader.

Trivia

 * In the comics, Valkyrie was a member of the Defenders. An Asgardian by birth, Valkyrie, also known by her real name, Brunnhilde, was selected by Odin to lead the Valkyrior. She was based on the Norse mythological figure.
 * Valkyrie's number among the Grandmaster's Scrappers, 142, refers to the Incredible Hulk #142 (1971) issue, where Valkyrie first met the Hulk.
 * During her battle with Hela in Hel, Valkyrie's life is saved by the sacrifice of a blonde Valkyrie more closely resembling the Brunnhilde from the comics.

Behind the Scenes

 * Valkyrie was originally planned to be introduced in Thor: The Dark World, but her appearance was ultimately scrapped.
 * According to Taika Waititi, Tessa Thompson's casting was a not deliberate decision to diversify the film, but to choose the best person: "You're working with comic-book Vikings, so you have to look at the source material as a very loose inspiration. A character's skin tone and hair colour doesn't matter. I think the story is king, and you want the best person for the job, and Tessa was the best person."
 * Describing her relationship with Loki, the actress said that they have a lot in common; meaning they come from the same place in a sense and have the same chip on their shoulder in a way. There's a thin line between how much they hate and love each other.
 * Tessa Thompson based her performance as Valkyrie on from the movie .
 * Danya Bateman, Tara Macken and Brittany Morris were stunt doubles for Tessa Thompson in the role of Valkyrie.
