The Warriors Three are a group of fictional characters who served as supporting cast members in Thor published by Marvel Comics. The Warriors Three is made up of the Asgardians Fandral, Hogun and Volstagg. Though the characters are gods of Asgard, they are original creations of Marvel Comics and not based on characters from Norse mythology.

Fictional biography

The Warriors Three had played a supporting role in the Thor title since the late 1960s.

For some time, Volstagg was the coward of the group, succeeding more with luck then skill. He gained courage over time and is now more than ever, likely to be found on the front lines of battle.

In the limited series "", Thor and the Warriors Three are sent on a quest as penance for accidentally killing an enemy giant during a time of peace. Although they fail in their quest, through the use of each warrior's unique capabilities, the adventure eventually comes to a good end.

The group is allied with the earth-bound group the New Mutants. During the mutant's first trip to Asgard, they drank and celebrated with Roberto da Costa (Sunspot). During the group's second visit, the Three encounter new members of the group and do not find their story of danger to Odin believable. Volstagg's children do and free the group, helping them on their way. Eventually the Warriors Three help the entirety of the New Mutants in their efforts to combat Hela and save the life of the sleeping Odin.

The trio was also featured in "Marvel Fanfare" #13. Bragi, the god of poetry, had become lost in the wilds of Asgard, just a little bit before he was due to entertain at All-Father Odin's Mid-Summer celebration. The Warriors Three braved multiple problems in order to rescue the poet and bring him home.

Another "Fanfare" issue focused on the wife of Ulik The Troll. Despite the many attacks by Ulik against Asgardians, his wife feels she has nowhere else to go when she thinks her husband is in trouble. Hogun wants nothing to do with her, but Volstagg convinces him to at least consult with Fandral. The conclusion of the story has Ulik yet again attacking.

In 2005 a mini-series was published centering on Thor and the Warriors Three, called "Thor: Blood Oath".

Ragnarok

When Thor's evil brother Loki brought Ragnarök down upon Asgard, two of the warriors (Fandral and Hogun) were killed off-panel by an arrow storm launched from the deck of the flying ship Naglfar. The third, Volstagg, survived and was discovered in hiding by Thor, only now being emaciated and frail. Nevertheless, he would fight on.

When Ragnarok seemingly destroyed all of Asgard and all people residing there, which would leave all three members of The Warriors Three deceased.

Rebirth

Thor has resurfaced in the Midwest of the United States of America and has vowed to find Odin and all other Asgardians, who are hidden in human form across Earth. After finding Heimdall, Thor discovers the Warriors Three inhabiting the bodies of three volunteer guards for the Umeme Mungu Refugee Camp in Africa. The trio are restored to their true forms.
