COMIC ART (VILLAINS) - SKURGE "THE EXECUTIONER"

Skurge, an Asgardian, was originally depicted as a supervillain, who wielded a magic double-bladed battle axe. Skurge fell in love with the Enchantress and was frequently used in schemes by her and the trickster god Loki. He was a long-time antagonist of Thor and other heroes of the Marvel universe and was a member of the original Masters of Evil. Eventually, he joined the heroes of Asgard in a mission to Hel, where he sacrificed his axe to destroy Naglfar, the ship of the dead, and delayed Ragnarok, and sacrificed his life to hold the bridge at Gjallarbrú so the heroes could escape the forces of Hel. After a time trapped in Hel, he joined the honored dead in Valhalla. Skurge was a formidable hand to hand combatant and was particularly adept at wielding a battle-axe in combat situations.
