Hoder is a fictional character appearing in the Marvel Comics universe, based loosely on the Höðr of Norse myth.

[edit] Fictional character biography

Hoder is a totally blind, elder Asgardian god. At one point, Loki, God of mischief, tricks Hoder into nearly killing Balder by shooting him with an arrow made of mistletoe wood (the only substance to which Balder is vulnerable).

Because of the events of Ragnarok, Hoder is believed to have suffered the same fate that befell the rest of the Asgardians. It should be noted that multiple Asgardians have returned from the effects of Ragnarok, having manifested on Earth itself.

[edit] Powers and abilities

As well as possessing the superhuman abilities shared by all the Gods of Asgard, such as superhuman strength, Hoder can also receive visions of a far distant future or of events that will occur in other realities.
