10 Most Powerful Characters Killed By Thor
2. Those Who Sit Above in Shadow - Thor Vol. 2 #85
Easily the most obscure beings on this list by a significant margin, the group known as Those Who Sit Above In Shadow is composed of some of the most powerful beings in the universe, even more than relatively conventional gods.
Their origins are just as vague as their name implies, as it is contested if whether they are the ones who created Asgardians or if they are Asgardian myths come to life. Either way, the enigmatic collection of deities have been known to exploit Asgardian destiny (specifically the Ragnarok cycle) for their sustenance.
However, Thor's banishment to Earth proved to be a blindspot for the group as they were unable to determine what the Thunderer would do now he was among mortals. After he obtained his father's unimaginable power, Thor decided it was time to end the cycle that empowered the ancient beings and finally free his people from their grasp.
To achieve this, he destroyed the Loom of the Fates, the device that tied the Asgardians to Those Who Sit Above Shadow and without their source of energy, the primal deities perished.
