Odin

Birth

Odin was the son of Bor the first Asgardian and Bestla the frost giantess. Bor also had two other sons known as Vili and Ve. Odin and his two brothers banished an evil demon who ruled Muspelheim called Surtur. After Surtur was defeated, Bor abdicates his throne to Odin and Odin becomes the new ruler of Asgard. Odin falls in love with the Elder Goddess Gaea and gives birth to a mighty Asgardian known as Thor. Thor became a mighty warrior and had defeated several extra-dimensional beings and enemies and later becomes very arrogant and selfish. Odin, displeased with Thor's greed and arrogance, expelled Thor from Asgard and seemingly depowered him. Odin also removed the memories of the old Thor and hoped Thor would change.

Loki

After Odin had slewed the evil giant Laufey, he encounters a young giant child. To show his honor, he adopts the giant kid and names him Loki. Loki and Odin soon became enemies as Loki grows up and understands about his origins and his enemies. Loki also often argued with his adopted farther about everything .

Odin often helped both Asgard and Earth in several occasions like stopping Loki, the Storm, Surtur and several other villains who attempted to destroy Earth by any means.

Odin has also rescued Asgard. His most notable victory is that he saved Asgard from being absorbed by the

Absorbing Man. At that time, Loki wanted the Asgard throne and teamed up with the newly recreated Absorbing Man. The Absorbing Man defeats all of the Asgardian guards and makes his way to Odin's throne room. Odin uses his magical powers to defeat the Absorbing Man but instead the magical energy had been absorbed into the Absorbing Man. The Absorbing Man then touches Asgardian matter and begins to absorb the entire city. Eventually Loki and the Absorbing Man tries to take Odin's political powers by getting the Rod of Rulership. However, Odin has tricked them into arguing with each other and both of them grab the Rod of Rulership and finds out that Odin had placed a binding spell on the Rod of Rulership. The two villains couldn't separate themselves from the Rod of Rulership. Odin tells them that his political powers and magical powers were from within and not from the Rod of Rulership. Odin then uses a powerful magical spell and exiles both villains into space for a period of time.

Odin tries to save Asgard by sacrificing his right eye to Mimir in order to save Asgard from the fate of Ragnarok. However, Odin fails to prevent Ragnarok from happening and later learns that Thor is one of the major beings who caused the fall of Asgard.

Odin's death

Odin is once killed by Mangog and is resurrected by the Death goddess Hela. Odin is also killed by the Celestials as the Celestials slewed the Destroying Armour. The Destroying Armour had Odin's life energies along with the energies of several Asgardians. Thor was lucky because since he had been exiled on Earth his life force wasn't stored in the Destroying Armour. Thor regathers the magical energy of several gods and resurrects Odin and later resurrects the Asgardians.

Odin wages a huge war with the evil but powerful demon Surtur. Surtur fatally wounds Odin and is about to die. Odin's tremendous powers began to drift away from Odin to his son Thor. Thor inherited Odin's full power and ruled over Asgard and, later, Earth, although this later part of Thor's lordship has been erased due to time travel. Upon his return to the past the Odin-Force (revealed to be sentinent) leaves Thor and he is forced to continue without it. Loki set's Ragnarok in motion, and after the loss of his hammer Thor feels almost powerless to stop it. After conferring with the Odin-Power Thor follows in the footsteps of his father, going through rituals to earn the rights to his power, and power of his own. This brought him even closer to his father, and helped him to understand his father's plans for him. Odin's spirit was called on by Thor to protect him from Hela, and he brought his son back from the realm of the Dead. Thor then went on to use the Odin-Power and his new found Rune Magic to destroy the Loom of fate and allow their people a final Ragnarok.  The event of Ragnarok was thought to mark the end of Odin.

After using his powers to restore the people of Asgard after Ragnarok, Thor was forced to partake of the Odin-Sleep. While in the realm between life and death he found his father in combat with Surtur.  He fights a continuous battle to keep Surtur from escaping and again threatening Asgard and Midgard. When Thor expresses his joy at seeing him, and apologizes for not resurrecting him, Odin relates the story of how he came to be King to his son. Odin goes on to explain that while men need only step out of their father's shadow, God's truly need their father's to die before they can surpass them. He expresses his pride that Thor is willing to revive him, but declines to continue keeping Surtur at bay.

Powers and abilities

Though not omnipotent, Odin is a being who has lived thousands of years and reaped the benefits in knowledge and power. He wields a unique ability known only as Odin force which can take numerous forms such as temporary augmentation of physical attributes, inter dimensional teleportation, energy and matter manipulation.

The Odin force also allows him to perform all sorts of magical feats not necessarily tied to direct energy attacks, such as the creation of magical equipment and more menial spells. He was capable of odd feats such as removing Thor's mouth, turning Loki into a tree and etc.

Over his eons of existance Odin has wielded many weapons in battle, from simple swords to bo-staves.

His enchanted spear Gungnir, and his powerful mace Thrudstok. At times he will also don a mystical sword, as he did in latest battle with Surtur.
