Video games

• Volla appears as a non-playable character in Marvel: Ultimate Alliance, voiced by Nika Futterman. One of the optional missions in Niffleheim involves finding a trunk that contains her ring and its key is missing. This has been stolen by Kurse and Ulik. If the player recovers Volla's ring, she will warn Odin about an attempt on his life which will lead to the capture of Surtur in the years to come. If not, she won't warn Odin about an attempt on his life and the death of Odin will plunge Asgard into years of chaos during which Thor will rule Asgard after Sif dies in battle. On a side note, she has special dialogue with Ms. Marvel when the player first meets her, and with Blade after the player finds her ring.
