Ulik is a fictional character, a villain in the Marvel Comics Universe.

Ulik belongs to a race of Rock Trolls who live in the dimension of Asgard. Like all trolls, he has an innate hatred of the Asgardians as they were driven underground by Odin and forbidden to live on the surface. For some unknown reason, Ulik is vastly superior to other Rock Trolls in terms of strength; durability and fighting ability, making him a natural opponent for Thor. Ulik first encountered Thor when commanded by the Rock Troll King, Geirrodur, to steal Thor's enchanted uru hammer, Mjolnir. While Ulik failed, he has returned on several occasions, and has at times aided Thor against a common enemy. Ulik was also responsible for accidentally awakening Mangog.
