The Twilight Sword was the fiery sword used by Surtur. He notably used it to destroy Asgard during Ragnarök.
History[]
Capture of Thor[]
After Surtur captured Thor in Muspelheim, the God of Thunder broke out of his chains and began fighting Surtur and his minions. Surtur wielded the Twilight Sword and used its fiery power against Thor, but Thor countered the assault with Mjølnir and eventually defeated Surtur. The Twilight Sword vanished as the power of the deceased Surtur was absorbed into his crown.[1]
Ragnarök[]
When Loki resurrected Surtur with the Eternal Flame, the Twilight Sword reappeared at the same time that the mighty Fire Demon had revived. Surtur brandished the now giant Twilight Sword once again and used it to spread chaos and destruction across Asgard. When Hela tried to retaliate, Surtur remained unaffected by her assaults and shove the Twilight Sword down deep to the core of Asgard, causing the planet to explode and fulfilling the prophecies of Ragnarök.[1]
Alternate Universe Versions[]
Mangog Unleashed[]
- "Twilight, the Sword of Doom! The sword that will cleave a path through Asgard to the Eternal Flame."
- ―Surtur to Thor[src]
In an alternate universe, the Twilight Sword was made from Scabrite with the purpose of cutting a path through Asgard to the Eternal Flame and kept in the Infernal Forge on Muspelheim. Thor came across the sword while searching for Scabrite to fuse into Mjølnir so that he could stop Mangog. Thor recognized its power as Surtur announced it. Thor demanded that Surtur end his invasion of Asgard, causing Surtur to retrieve the sword and fight Thor with it. Surtur repeatedly got the Twilight Sword stuck into the ground, allowing Thor to run along it and get a chance to destroy Surtur's armor. Thor managed to knock the sword out of Surtur's hand and destroy Surtur. He then destroyed the Twilight Sword in order to give Mjølnir its power.[2]

At full strength, the Twilight Sword could set the entirety of Asgard on fire and razed it to mere cinders when it was plunged deep into the core.
