The Fenris Wolf is a creature of Asgardian origin, said to be the product of a union between Loki and the giantess Angrboda. The goddess Iduna once confronted Fenris while bringing golden apples to Odin. Fenris disguised himself as a human to fool Iduna, but she sensed that he was not a normal being. After Fenris returned to his regular form to attack, the hunter Haakun arrived and banished him to the shadowy land of Varinheim. This encounter evolved into the story of Little Red Riding Hood.[2]
Just like Norse mythology, Odin had the Dwarfs forge the chain Gleipnir, which they used to chain Fenris to a rock. Tyr lost his hand in the process of chaining Fenris.[volume&issueneeded]
A giant offspring of Fenris, named Hoarfen, once battled the Hulk and his Pantheon allies.[3] Fenris is also the ancestor of Hrimhari, the prince of Asgard's wolves.[4]
True Ragnarok
Loki frees Fenris to aid him, Ulik, and Hyrm in attacking Asgard, using weapons forged by Surtur. Ulik and Fenris attack Thor together, only for Thor to attack them using Mjolnir, causing a blast that removes Sif's arm. Hyrm joins up with Ulik and Fenris and manages to shatter Mjolnir.[5]
Fenris then attacks Thor, Captain America, and Iron Man when they are in Asgard. When Fenris is about to attack Thor, Captain America kicks Fenris in the stomach to reclaim his shield, then Thor defeats him, causing him to flee.[6]
Fenris assists in the attack on Vanaheim and faces Thor again in battle. Thor binds Fenris in chains and uses his body to knock down Durok and save Sif. With Durok killed, the Fenris Wolf escapes his chains and battles Thor, only to be killed by Beta Ray Bill.[volume&issueneeded]
Fenris returns to life and devours Asgard's sun and moon, contributing to the events of Ragnarok.[7] Following Ragnarok, Asgard reforms and re-establishes itself over Broxton, Oklahoma.[volume&issueneeded] Fenris escapes from his prison, a place deep in the dimensional 'Hells' and steals a technological device capable of killing gods. The Warriors Three defeat Fenris, who is imprisoned in an Asgardian courtyard.[8]
A female version of Fenris appears in Thor: Ragnarok.[9][10] This version is an Asgardian wolf and Hela's pet who was killed a millennia ago, and resurrected in the present.[11] She later battles the Hulk and is tossed off Asgard into the void below.
