balder the brave karnilla queen of the norns

Karnilla then schemed to keep Balder with her in Nornheim. Later, she was petitioned by Balder to join forces with Asgard against Surtur. She then joined in an alliance of Loki and Tyr against Odin. Karnilla revealed the location of the Rose of Purity to the Enchantress. She later sought Balder's forgiveness for Nanna's death. With Loki, she then released a Snow Giant to battle Thor, but betrayed Loki and was defeated by him. Karnilla forced Balder to agree to marry her to save Nanna's life.

Undaunted, she abducted Balder and his new beloved, Nanna. She then battled Loki to save Balder.Īfter a while, she was spurned again by Balder, who had given up his career as a warrior on returning from the dead. They then battled the Enchantress and Executioner, but were defeated by Kroda the Duelist. She and Balder then defended Asgard against an assault by animated suits of armor. Later, she allied with Thor against Mangog and Igron. With Sif, she was held captive within Xorr the God-Jewel for a time. She then aided Thor against Loki in return for Sif's aid in her quest for Balder, who had gone missing. Before too long, she released Balder from her service. With Loki, she created Durok the Demolisher to battle Thor. She finally forced Balder to renounce Odin and serve her. Karnilla later cast a spell waking Odin in time to defeat Infinity. She then saved Balder and the Warriors Three from the Thermal Man. Later, she tried to tempt Balder to renounce his service to Odin, and then tried to capture Balder. Heartbroken, she pitted Balder against the Legion of the Lost. She declared her love for Balder, but was spurned. However, during this plan she became romantically attracted to Balder.

She then allied with Loki, and tricked Sif into animating the Destroyer. Later, she was accidentally responsible for granting the Wrecker supernatural power that was intended for Loki. She then lent Loki some magic from the Norn stones. She says the reason was that like everything that existed in Asgard, with the exception of Mistletoe, she promised to protect Balder. When she first appeared, Karnilla saved Balder the Brave from assassination by Loki.

She has proved to be an enemy of Asgard, allying with Loki, though she is deeply in love with Balder the Brave. Karnilla the Norn Queen is a sorceress and the Queen of Nornheim (one of the Asgardian provinces).

Karnilla first appeared in Journey into Mystery #107 (Aug 1964), and was created by Stan Lee and Jack Kirby.
