History
Skurge the Executioner was seduced by the Enchantress into assisting her in many of her schemes over the years. But while the Executioner was as so infatuated with the Enchantress that he would do anything for her, she continually withheld her favors from him to keep him in thrall.
In his first encounter with Thor after he gained his human identity of Don Blake, Enchantress attempted unsuccessfully to seduce Blake, and then ordered the Executioner to dispose of Jane Foster, the mortal woman Thor then loved. Thor saved Foster and defeated both the Enchantress and Executioner.
In the following years the Enchantress and Skurge also allied themselves with Loki and Baron Zemo. He was among many menaces assembled by Doctor Doom to disrupt the wedding of Reed Richards and Susan Storm. His most frequent adversaries during these years were Thor and the Avengers.
Powers and Abilities
Powers
Skurge possessed a variety of superhuman attributes as a result of his Frost Giant physiology including:
- Superhuman Strength Skurge possessed superhuman strength greater than that of most other Asgardians and could lift about 65 tons.
- Superhuman Speed Despite his great size, Skurge was capable of running and moving much faster than even the finest human athlete.
- Superhuman Stamina Skurge's highly advanced musculature produced considerably less fatigue toxins than the muscles of humans, or even most other Asgardians. He could exert himself at peak capacity for several days before fatigue impaired his performance.
- Superhuman Durability The tissues of Skurge's body were considerably harder than those of a human's, and even those of most Asgardians. Skurge could withstand great impact forces, temperature extremes, high caliber bullets, and powerful energy blasts without sustaining physical injury. Skurge was also immune to all known Earthly diseases and infections.
- Superhumanly Dense Tissue: The skin, muscle, and bone tissue of Skurge's body is considerably denser than that of a human. Due to his Frost Giant heritage, his tissue is even denser than those of full blooded Asgardians, contributing somewhat to his superhuman strength and weight.
