This is an informal group of all the gods of the Realm Eternal. Edit
Most well-known group of the many races/species that lives in/on the extra-dimensional planetoid of Asgard. Asgardians are technically not immortal gods, but extra-dimensional humanoids with both physical and magical properties. They are not immortal, but have incredibly vast lifespans (compared to humans) combined with regular consumption of golden apples of the cosmic tree of Yggdrasil to maintain their vitality. Hence even a "God" as old as Odin still retains vast physical strength.
Asgardian bodily tissue is much denser than that of humans, giving them great weight and immense strength. This is combined with an accelerated metabolism that provides enormous stamina and reserves of energy, as well as the capacity to heal rapidly from wounds and great resistance to disease. As the Asgardian culture prizes glory in battle above all things, most Asgardians are highly skilled fighters in hand to hand and (archaic) weaponed combat.
Though no Asgardian has been shown dying of old age, they can be killed. If they are killed in battle, their souls are taken to Valhalla, feast hall of Odin. If they die by other means outside of battle (even if murdered by another's hand), then their souls are condemned to the realm of Hela, Hel.
Magic forms a great part of Asgardian life. It is almost a daily aspect of it. However, although all Asgardians born with a capacity to wield magic, few (such as Frigga, Loki and the Enchantress) have set out to master it.
An Asgardian's power and strength seems to be dependent upon the generation they were born into. Ergo, Odin, the first Asgardian, is the strongest of all. Thor, Balder and Sif were born into the next generation and are therefore less powerful than Odin. But they are more powerful than The Warriors Three, who were most likely born into a later generation.
