MCU Villain Battle Royale: Who Would Come Out On Top?
8. Round One – Hela Vs. Laufey
Laufey has a long history with Odin’s family in the MCU. He fought the Allfather himself, did battle with Thor many years later after infiltrating Asgard, and even Odin’s adopted son is Laufey’s biological son. Never in the MCU however, has Laufey been seen to do battle with Odin’s daughter.
Hela was locked away in Hel by Odin, and was trapped there while the Asgardian Royal Family did battle with the leader of the Frost Giants. Had she been there however, Laufey wouldn’t have ever even got near to Odin, even with Loki’s help.
Hela, who drew her power from Asgard, was at her strongest when she was at home, but she could have travelled to Jotunheim and destroyed the entire Frost Giant army if she had a mind to.
Her necrosword, and lack of morals around wielding it, would hold her in good stead. When she reached Asgard in the MCU, she obliterated the entire Asgardian army herself, including warships and the Warriors Three, and of course, she had the might to destroy Mjolnir with her bare hands. No Frost Giant would be able to stand in her way.
Winner: Hela
