Surtur

Biodata

Background / History

Surtur meets Thanos when Thanos seeks an Origin Infinity Gauntlet capable of containing Origin Power. Surtur initially demands an Infinity Source Stone, then bargains down to Thanos supplying the materials and the energy of three galaxies. He explains that the gauntlet requires a galactic black-hole core or comparably dense material; Thanos’s damaged weapons and armor can serve only as supplementary materials 193 194. When Thanos asks about the work later, Surtur says a Source Artifact will take several more years to make 209.

Surtur subsequently fights alongside other Dimension Lords against Immortal Hulk 230. He later guides Thanos to the Quantum Trading Domain in exchange for the promised energy of a fixed star. Thanos kills another attendee and offers the body instead. Because Surtur failed to explain the domain’s rules to his guest, Satan fines him one fixed star’s worth of energy 277.
