Surtur
Surtur is the Lord of Muspelheim and King of the Fire Giants. He is a demon of gigantic proportions and one of the greatest threats to Asgard. He desired to use his powerful sword, the Twilight, to ignite the spark of Ragnarok, but it was taken by Odin and shattered to prevent it from ever being used in the wrong hands. Many years later, the usurper god Loki recovered the shards of the sword and reforged it to its original condition, returning it to Surtur to set off Ragnarok as part of a massive gambit to regain Thanos' favor by removing the Asgardian Gods as a potential threat to the Mad Titan's ambitions.

Powers and Abilities[]
Surtur is a fire giant of immense power; he is over 1,000 feet tall, possesses a prehensile tail, and is capable of controlling fire, as well as being composed largely of fire. He is extremely strong, immortal, and nigh-invulnerable, as well as possessing a capacity for molecular manipulation that allows him to become intangible or to shift parts of his body into other forms. He is capable of levitation and inter-dimensional travel. He is incredibly intelligent, and a gifted fighter, having special skill with a sword.
He possesses the Twilight Sword, a magical sword of Scabrite metal that can be wielded to many magical effects as well as in the traditional way one might use a sword. When lit with the Eternal Flame, the sword heralds Ragnarök and the end of the nine realms. Surtur has an unspecified connection to the Eternal Flame, and it appears to provide continuous strength to him when he is near to it. The mechanism for this, as well as the extent of the power he is capable of deriving from it, are unknown.
