Thor: Ragnarok- Hela
Odin’s firstborn, the true heir to the throne, and an absolutely bloodthirsty sociopath, Hela is the central villain of the latest Marvel Studios installment: Thor Ragnarok. Portrayed with a gripping sense of diabolic evil by the talented Cate Blanchett, Hela is Odin’s conquerer. She was the primary tool of Asgard to conquer the Nine Realms they rule, before she was exiled forever as Odin sought to transform his rule into a peaceful one. With his death, Hela returns to claim her rightful throne, opposed only by Thor and the citizens of the very land she plans to rule.
Aptly named the Goddess of Death, and more powerful than almost any character to date, Hela was capable of destroying Mjolnir single-handedly (literally), even when at the weakest point of her powers. She draws power directly from Asgard, and grows stronger over time, meaning it is essentially impossible for any hero to stop her. She also has a giant, Hulk-strength wolf familiar by the name of Fenrir.
In terms of design, director Taika Waititi wanted to stay close to the classic Jack Kirby designs from the comics. This is no more obvious than her headdress, which grows and moves with malice in the film.
Much of the concept for Thor: Ragnarok was done by concept artist Aleksi Briclot
