Sif (Jaime Alexander) thundered into this week’s Marvel’s Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. in pursuit of the seductive Lorelei – a renegade Asgardian on Earth.
It’s the second citizen from Thor’s realm to appear on the series. Peter MacNichol played Dr. Elliot Randolph in an episode set in the aftermath of Thor: The Dark World. Randolph turned out to be an ancient Asgardian who’d been living on Midgard for years.
Sif’s spectacular guest appearance inspired this wish list of more enemies from Thor’s world who could appear on Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. or in THOR 3.
#1 Amora the Enchantress – the icy blonde who went psycho love for Thor. Amora was a student of Karnilla, Queen of the Norns but was banished and learned her own brand of renegade sorcery. Think Helen Mirren’s Morgan Le Fay in Excalibur. Amora is the sister of Lorelei who bewitched the Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. this week.
Amora’s first mission was actually for Odin who sent her to Earth to eliminate Jane Foster. Amora and Loki have schemed, seduced and betrayed each other countless times over the years. The manipulative mistress of dark magic could escalate the sibling rivalry between the Sons of Odin and be the mastermind of these heavy hitting enforcers below:
#2 Skurge the Executioner – a brutal Asgardian warrior armed with a double-bladed battle axe who was devoted to Amora, who used her wiles to manipulate him. (While Skurge could take on Thor, Bloodaxe is a human who was transformed by Skurge’s ax, that could take on Coulson’s team.)
#3 The Absorbing Man aka Crusher Creel – a fallen boxer turned criminal who thanks to Loki’s potion gains the ability to absorb the properties any metal he touches and grow to a massive size.
#4 The Wrecking Crew – human criminals given enchanted weapons and enhanced strength by Loki and the Norn Queen. The Wrecker, Piledriver, Bulldozer, Thunderball became powerhouse enemies of Thor and the Avengers.
#5 Fenris Wolf – A horrifying wolf creature from Norse legends and inspiration for Little Red Riding Hood. This creature is the child of Loki and a giant
#6 Hela – Goddess of Death and daughter of Loki (another incarnation of the trickster.) I would love to see Thor, Sif and the Warriors Three on a mission from Earth to Hel on a quest to prevent Ragnarok – the great battle ending in the fall of Asgard. Every time I saw Angelina Jolie as Maleficent I can’t help but think of her as the Queen of the Underworld.
