Orikal is a fictional character in the Marvel Universe.
Orikal is an extra-dimensional being who has mystical powers so vast that they can nullify the power of Odin. Orikal has incredibly advanced scientific knowledge, and his "Infinite Eye" can see everything that is happening in the world he is in, as well as what will happen in its alternate futures.
Orikal was trapped within a sea of flame by Geirrodur, King of the Trolls. Geirrodur coerced Orikal into providing information on how to build advanced weaponry, which the trolls used to invade Asgard. The trolls used one of their devices to drain the power from Odin's scepter, and the Asgardians were on the verge of defeat. Thor and Sif managed to find Orikal but Ulik tried to kill Orikal. Thor defeated Ulik and freed Orikal, who transformed into energy and shot out into space.
Orikal later became enslaved by Geirrodur once again. He provided information to Thor, Ulik, Odin, and assisted Thor's efforts to defeat Mangog and prevent Thanos from using the Chalice of Ruins and the tears of the Designate to gain vast power and destroy all life in the cosmos.
