I am an Asgardian goddess! I could crush you in my fist like the slug you are! But physical contact with creatures such as you disgusts me! And why should an immortal mistress of sorcery sully her hands?

~ The Enchantress
The Enchantress is a major antagonist in the Marvel Universe, specifically serving as one of the secondary antagonists of the Thor franchise.
The first incarnation of the character, Amora, was an Asgardian goddess, known as one of Thor's greatest enemies and a immensely powerful sorcereress, as well as the sister of Lorelei and one of the love interests of Thor and Namor. She has been a member of the Masters of Evil, Lady Liberators, Mandarin's team, Sisterhood of Mutants, Astonishing Avengers, and the Lethal Legion. The second Enchantress was a young girl named Sylvie Lushton, who was given great magical powers by Loki and eventually joined the New Illuminati team.
Unlike many of Marvel's Asgardians, the Enchantress is not actually an adaptation of a goddess from Norse mythology. However, the character is said to have been referred by many names in the comic Thor: Ages of Thunder. These names include Freyja, Idun/Idunna, Gefn, and Mardöll.
Amora was born in Asgard with her sister Lorelei, and at a young age, she became an apprentice of Karnilla on the land of the Norns, but Karnilla eventually expelled her for being undisciplined. Whether in Asgard or in Jotunheim, Amora remained the most beautiful woman that ever lived.
Throughout every era of Ragnarok, Amora has had many names; Freyja, Iduna, Mardoll, Gefn, and Enchantress. Only she, in all of her goddessness, in all of her feminine perfectness could convince the worldtree Yggdrasil to give of its most miraculous fruit; the golden apples. So she was tasked with gathering the apples of the worldtree.
The gods gained their wisdom, youth, vigor, and verve from these apples. Everything that made the gods godly came from these golden fruits only the Enchantress could retrieve.
During the Third and Eleventh Eras of Ragnarök, Loki offered Amora's hand to a Frost Giant to become his harem queen, against her will. The Asgardians agreed, and no one asked Amora how she felt. Her tears turned into rivulets of gold and diamonds that flowed down to midgard and lie beneath its surface.
Wihout the Enchantress to pick the magical apples of gold that grew from Yggdrasil's ancient branches, the gods were cut off from the very source of their oly might and most thunderous power. Only her magical
touch could coax the fruit to bear.
Facing Odin's wrath, Loki decided to rescue her from Jotunheim. After releasing her, the two ran as far and as fast away from the Frost Giant as possible, but they eventually ran out of places to run and were caught. Fortunally, Loki saved them and killed the Giant. As Idunn, the Enchantress briefly became the wife of Bragi; the God of Poetry.
At some point, Amora aided the leader of Valkyries Brunnhilde in her plans of conquest. However, when the Valkyrie became aware of Amora's true intentions, she ended their partnership. In response, Amora used her magic to entrap Brunnhilde in a mystical crystal of souls. Amora also seduced Skurge the Executioner and turned him into her henchman.
Modern Age[]
Amora's first confront with Thor was in Journey Into Mystery #103, where he gained his human identity of Don Blake and she unsucoessfully tried to seduce him. Eventually, Amora joined forces with Baron Zemo's first incarnation of the Masters of Evil and battled the Avengers. Throughout the years, Amora also joined other supervillains, like Loki, the Mandarin, and Arkon. Although she has come to Asgard's aid in the past, Amora remained an opportunist who sided with whoever furthered her own personal agenda.
Her most frequent foes have been Thor, the mutant Dazzler and the Avengers. Due to her crimes, Amora earned Odin's wrath and was exiled from Asgard. At some point, Amora had a relationship with a Asgardian palace guard named Bror, and they had two children; Iric and Alvi, which were raised by their father alone on Asgard. She also created the being known as "Thor/Chad Hammer" from Donald Blake's decapitated body.
During the most recent Ragnarök, Amora was killed by Loki's forces during the initial attack on Mir-Krul. Afterward, Thor used the Odin power to resurrect most of the fallen Asgardians, including Amora. Since then, she attempted to use her magic to resurrect her departed paramour Skurge through Yggdrasil's roots. These actions placed the World Tree in jeopardy and would have caused all existence to end when the Nine Worlds of Asgard crashed upon each other, but Amora was stopped by Thor, Balder and Loki. Along with the Executioner, Amora framed Thor for Dario Agger' murder, giving control over Roxxon Corporation to her.
The Enchantress from Earth-20368 had a son named Ove with Namor, following the wars that resulted in the scorching of the Earth and the fall of civilization.

Ultimate Universe[]
Enchantress from Earth-1610
In the Ultimate Marvel universe, Amora appeared in New Ultimates #2 aiding Loki and a team of Asgardians who attempted to take down the New Ultimates. She seemingly has the power of persuasion to make people do whatever she wants. She convinces Valkyrie, Carol Danvers, and Zarda to betray the Ultimates. They win the fight against them, but later the remaining Ultimates return to fight them again.
They manage to free them from Amora's spell by having Hawkeye shoot an arrow at Amora, almost killing her and breaking her concentration on the spell. Amora was angry at Loki for putting her in that position and decided to leave. Before she left, she warned him that now that Valkyrie died during the fight, Thor would have his revenge on him.
Powers and Abilities[]
Asgardian Physiology[]
The Enchantress using her powers
Acording to the Official Handbook of the Marvel Universe (Vol. 2) #4, the Enchantress possesses the conventional attributes of an Asgardian woman ('goddess"), as well as a mastery over certain sorcerous disciplines. Like all Asgardians, she is extremely long-lived (though hot immortal like the Olympians), superhumanly strong (possesses the normal strength of an Asgardian woman of her age, height, and build who engages in moderate regular exercise.
She can lift (press) about 25 tons.), immune to all disease, and resistant to conventional injury. (Asgardian flesh and bone is about three times denser than human flesh and bone, contributing to Asgardians' superhuman weight.) Her Asgardian metabolism gives her far greater than human endurance at all physical activities. The Enchantress rarely exercises any of her physical abilities except those that pertain to the amatory arts.
Asgardian Magic[]
The Enchantress's magical powers derive from two main sources: her innate capacity to manipulate ambient magical energy honed through practice, and her acquired knowledge of spells and enchantments of Asgardian origin. Her ability to wield magical energy for personal use, while not as great as such master sorceresses as Karnila, still qualifies her as among the top twenty magical practioners in Asgard. Her kiss can cause men to become infatuated with her, making them subservient to her every will. She occasionally uses her magic to form rudimentary magical power-bolts.
These bolts have a maximum concussive effect of approximately 20 pounds of TNT. Her knowledge of arcane lore enables her to cast spells with a variety of specific effects. Among the many spells she has employed include illusion-casting, temporary paralysis, deflection of matter and energy, interdimensional travel, and elemental conversion. These spells derive their potency from Asgardian sources (such as power objects or entities), and thus are most potent when used in the dimension of Asgard itself. A prolonged absence from Asgard tends to diminish her powers, though they never fade completely.
