Fictional character biography
An Asgardian, she is both Queen of Asgard, and the Asgardian gods, the wife of Odin, the step-mother of Thor, the biological mother of Balder, and the adoptive mother of Loki. She is also sometimes described to be a Vanir goddess, as opposed to her husband, who is of the Aesir tribe. She is also the one responsible for casting spells on Balder to protect him from mortal harm. When Surtur the fire demon threatens all the known realms, Frigga is assigned the guardianship of the children of Asgard. They retreat to a hostel deep in the wilderness of Asgard. Though Frigga does not know it, she is assisted in her guarding by Tiwaz, the great-grandfather of Thor. After Odin and Surtur disappear, Frigga organizes an 'Althing', where all of Asgard will choose a new ruler. The result is that Balder is chosen as the new ruler.
Frigga supervised the location and training of the apprentices to the Celestials, the Young Gods. Because of the events of Ragnarok, Frigga is believed to have suffered the same fate as the rest of the Asgardians.
During the "War of the Realms" storyline, Frigga assists in the battle against Malekith's forces and makes Jane Foster the All-Mother of Asgard. Frigga leads Blade, She-Hulk, Ghost Rider, and Punisher, all posing as Asgardian creatures, to destroy the Dark Bifrost. Frigga's group arrives at the Dark Bifrost Bridge, but Frigga realizes that the Bifröst has been destroyed and changes plans in protecting the Dark Bifrost. Malekith attacks Frigga, but he is fended off by Odin. Odin destroys the Dark Bifrost, apparently killing himself and Frigga in the process. Frigga and Odin survive and are held captive by Malekith at Stonehenge.
