History
Exile of Hela
- "Before my father died, he told me I had a half-sister that he imprisoned in Hel."
- ―Thor to the Guardians of the Galaxy[src]
Thousands of years ago, Odin banished his daughter Hela from Asgard and imprisoned her in Hel after a failed coup attempt.[1] Hela later attempted to escape, prompting Odin to send the Valkyrie to stop her. She successfully overpowered the warriors, killing all but one, Brunnhilde. Odin intervened before Hela could escape, defeating her and returning her to her prison.[1]
Convergence
Hel among other realms during the Convergence
Hel was among the worlds labeled by Erik Selvig on his chalkboard mapping the Nine Realms.[2] Hel was also visible among other realms during the Convergence during the Battle of Greenwich.[3]
Hela's Freedom
Hela leaving Hel after millennia
In 2017, after Odin's death, his power over Hela's imprisonment waned until there was no force keeping her at bay. She stepped out of a portal-like gateway to Earth soon after, musing that she would have liked to see her father die.[1]
