Tyr is the Asgardian god of war. Tyr was renowned throughout Asgard as being the only god brave enough to place his hand in the mouth of the wolf Fenris during the latter's binding. He has fought in the defense of Asgard numerous times against such threats as Surtur and the Egyptian death-god Seth. He has several times rebelled against Odin due to his love of battle and fought Thor due to resentment of Thor's relationship to Sif.

Tyr appears in Marvel: Ultimate Alliance. He was seen defeated and was being guarded by the Scorpion and the Lizard with him hanging over lava. To get him down after the battle, water must be obtained to cool down the lava, and he subsequently thanks the heroes, apologising for his past belief that humans are weak when it is they who now come to save Asgard.
