Asgardians

Mythic Nordic pantheon

Asgardians are the inhabitants of Asgard in Norse mythology and its modern adaptations, particularly Marvel comics and films.

In the Marvel universe, Asgardians are a race of powerful, long-lived beings who appear godlike to humans—Thor, Odin, and Loki among them.

The term often appears in discussions of superhero media: The Asgardians arrived to defend Earth.
