S.W.O.R.D. Threat #2012: Gorr, the god-Butcher

Gorr (a.k.a. The God-Butcher)

Threat Level: Beyond Omega

Physical Description

Special abilities

• Combat Skills: Gorr has at least three thousand years of combat experience, and is skilled enough with weapons to duel with gods with ease.
• Master Torturer: He is a very skilled torturer and has claimed that he tortured a god of torture once.

Specialized Equipment

All-Black the Necrosword: Gorr was originally a mortal alien completely lacking any form of superhuman abilities. After bonding to "All-Black the Necrosword", a symbiotic weapon Gorr found on the body of a wounded mortal, Gorr attained the following powers:

• Constituent-Matter Manipulation: Gorr can use the living abyss comprising All-Black to create a variety of constructs, such as wings, weapons, armor, and a cloak; though All-Black's preferred form is a sword. Gorr was also capable of creating semi-sentient offshoots of All-Black, dubbed Black Berserkers, to do his bidding.
• Superhuman Strength: Gorr has strength that is at least comparable to that of Thor, if not greater. He was able to best Thor, Loki, and Lady Sif all at the same time, and has single-handily defeated many millions of gods in open combat, including one that reportedly "wrestled with black holes for fun". He is also capable of effortlessly cleaving through planets and even stars using All-Black.
• Superhuman Durability: Gorr is extremely durable against all forms of trauma and can survive a massive lightning bolt summoned by Thor, or the Godblast of All-Father Thor's Thor-Force - which propelled him "several light-years" away in a matter of seconds.
• Superhuman Speed: Gorr can fly at blinding speeds, as when he quickly overtook the thunder god on their first encounter.
• Superhuman Reflexes: Gorr was able to catch Thor rather easily off guard, as well as many other gods.
• Longevity: Gorr has lived for much longer than his species' normal lifespan and still looks in his prime, as a result of All-Black rendering him immune to aging.
• Regeneration: Gorr is able to recover from a lightning strike within four days with no signs of that injury, as well growing back or reattaching an arm that Thor had cut off.

Mental characteristics

Personal history

Gorr the God Butcher was born on the planet Indigarr, almost every day on the brink of starvation. That was until Thor visited Indigarr and brought rain with him to fertilize the soil and end the draught. He was taught to trust in Thor for he would always provide. At an early age, his mother and father died, leaving Gorr to fend for himself in the harsh environment. Years later he married and fathered some children. However due to Thor leaving and the return of famine and draught, most of them died. Gorr's pregnant mate Arra was killed during an earthquake, and one by one his children perished until he was left with one son, Agar. When Agar was on the brink of death due to starvation, Gorr sought to ease his suffering and told his son they would soon reach a forest where they would never go hungry again.
Stricken with grief after Agar's death, Gorr gave up hope, and now the last of his race Gorr wandered the wasteland that was his home preparing to die. While wandering the desert, Gorr witnessed a pair of battling gods—a wielder of All-Black, the Necrosword, and a gold-armored purple-skinned god empowered by the Enigma Force —plunge out of the sky and crash-land nearby. Seeing an opportunity for revenge against the "gods" that had slighted his race, Gorr was seduced by All-Black with the dark sword transforming into an amorphous mass of living darkness and bonding to him. Gorr used his new weapon to kill the gold-armored god; then vowed to seek vengeance against all gods for never answering his prayers, and set out to kill them all starting with Asgard. Gorr despised any god and travelled the cosmos for years to exact his revenge, embarking on a deicidal crusade in which he allegedly killed many gods of fear, war, chaos, genocide, revenge, plagues, earthquakes, blood, wrath, jealousy, death, degradation, and a few gods of poetry and flowers.
Knowing that he couldn't storm Asgard alone, Gor sought out allies that he had first found in the Dark Elves. Promising them revenge for their king, Malekith, who had just recently been slain by Thor during peace negotiations, The Dark Elves were more than happy to join Gorr's side. Next Gorr visited Jotunheim and convinced King Laufey that Odin stealing his son, Loki, was the highest form of disrespect leading Laufey to mobilize his forces in aid of Gorr's assault. Next, he visited Musphelheim and slayed the Fire Giant, King Surtur, showing the immense power of the Necrosword, but not without noting its weakness to fire and loud noises. The slaying of Surtur caused the Fire Goblins to pledge their aid as they follow only the strongest leaders. Next, you convinced the Light Elves to supply your troops with weapons and funding by arranging a ceasefire between them and the Dark Elves. Following that, Gorr promised the Angels that they could settle in the land of Asgard after the invasion adding them to your ranks. And Finally, Gorr promised peace for the rock trolls who dwelt under Asgard and were constantly invaded by surface dwellers mining for minerals.
Following the prophecy of Ragnarok, Gorr's first victim was Freya's youngest child Baldur who was killed while playing in the wilds of Asgard. Gorr then commanded his forces to attack slaughtering Asgard and its inhabitants and even killing Odin within his sleep. Gorr's hardest battle was with Thor as the two seemed to evenly match blows. But, the Necrosword proved too powerful for Thor resulting in the mutilation of his right arm and left eye and the loss of Mjolnir. Seeing that he'd won, Gorr left Thor to die slowly while watching the destruction of his home.
S.W.O.R.D. CLEARANCE: 10 Thor and Loki were rescued by Nova Corps search and rescue teams and placed into protective custody on one of the Nova Corps designated safehouse planets.
After the destruction of Asgard, Gorr has continued to slay Omega-Level magical beings and has been using his forces to spread terror throughout the galaxy.
