Read more about Heimdall (Marvel) at: Wikipedia Official Site: Marvel Heimdall is a fictional character in the Marvel Comics universe, loosely based on the god Heimdall of Norse mythology. He first appeared in a comic in Journey into Mystery #85 (October 1962) and was created by Stan Lee, Larry Lieber and Jack Kirby. Heimdall is the brother of the warrior Sif. He is the all-seeing and all-hearing guardian sentry of Asgard, he stands on the rainbow bridge, Bifrost and stands watch for any attacks to Asgard. He partly won the role through using his eyesight to see an army of giants several days' march from Asgard, allowing them to be defeated before they reached Asgard, and making their king a prisoner. For ages, he stood as the guardian of Asgard, defending the city's gates from any intruders, and was one of the most trusted servants of Odin. In his first appearance, Heimdall accidentally releases Loki when he causes Heimdall to shed a tear using a leaf. Later Hemidall warned Odin of a Vanna's reconnaissance of Asgard. When next seen, he battled Thor to prevent him from entering Asgard; He then battled Thor to prevent him from leaving Asgard as Odin did not want him to see Jane Foster again. Heimdall was then immobilized by Seidring in a cuboid of ethereal force when Seldring stole the Odinforce. Some time later, he encountered the Recorder during the attack of the superstrong monster Mangog. Later still, Heimdall battled Thor at Loki's command. In the prophesy of Ragnarok, he severed the Rainbow Bridge, and sounded Gjallarhorn. He traveled to Earth with Kamorr the dwarf to search for human candidates for godhood. He gathered three such human beings, and arranged for them to be exposed to Ego-Prime's energies and become the first three Young Gods. Heimdall then accompanied the Asgardians into the Dark Nebula.
