Skurge's defining moment came during Walt Simonson's Mighty Thor run (widely regarded to be the most influential Thor saga after the original Lee/Kirby run). A future version of Skurge even battled Hulk in the 25th Century in 1966's Tales to Astonish #76 and 77. He was one of many villains recruited by Doctor Doom to spoil the wedding of Reed Richards and Susan Storm in 1965's Fantastic Four Annual #3. Skurge also branched out to other comics. Sadly, she never showed the same level of affection for her faithful bodyguard. These early stories established Skurge as a brutish warrior motivated mainly by his love for the Enchantress. Skurge quickly became a fixture in both Thor's solo comics and The Avengers. Origin and BackgroundLike many of the most enduring Thor villains, Skurge was created by writer Stan Lee and artist Jack Kirby, debuting in 1964's Journey Into Mystery #103. This ax allows Skurge to cut through the very fabric of reality, travel between realms and control fire and ice. Skurge's weapon of choice, however, is an enchanted doubled-bladed ax. Skurge also has superhumanly sharp vision, making him a peerless hunter. His combat skills are second to none, and Skurge shows equal prowess with traditional weapons like axes and blades or modern human weapons like assault rifles. Powers and AbilitiesSkurge is half Storm Giant, making him stronger than most Asgardians and an equal of even the Mighty Thor himself.
