The serpent took the bait, and Thor dragged it free from the Earth and fought it. Thor quickly enlisted the giant Hamir to assist him in baiting the serpent with an ox on a fishing pole.
As they fought, the serpent wound itself around the Earth and began to crush it within its coils. To complete Odin's defeat, Loki had the serpent stretch itself to Earth so that his armies could follow Odin and those loyal to him.
When the serpent returned, Thor faced it again, now armed with Mjolnir he managed to strike it down, and beat it until it vanished, bringing the seeming-Ragnarok to a halt.Īs part of their scheme to overthrow Odin, Loki Laufeyson and Tyr captured the Golden Apples of Idunn and fed them to the Midgard Serpent, whom they found gnawing upon the roots of Yggdrasil. Norvell himself came to Thor's rescue, and fought the serpent all the way back to its lair, seemingly perishing in the process. He ultimately discovered that the tears were a universal solvent which could dissolve through anything, but this meant that he could not contain the solvent in anything, and it threatened to dissolve the Earth.Īs Ragnarok seemed to draw near in Asgard, Hela brought the Midgard Serpent forth to launch an attack, and Thor found himself nearly powerless against it, having lost his hammer Mjolnir to Red Norvell. He collected the tears into a test tube and brought them back to his lab for study. A scientist named Albert, while standing beneath a statue of the Midgard Serpent, saw tears dripping from its eyes.
