Ymir



Ymir is the oldest and most powerful of the Frost Giants.

Origin
Ymir is the most powerful Frost Giant making him ruler of the Frost Giants. He rules over the land of Niffelheim in Asgard where he and his brethren reside. He is so old that he predates any of the gods with Surtur being the sole being in the Norse cosmos older then him.

Power and Abilities
Despite being a frost giant, Ymir has been at times referred to as an Elemental like Surtur. This makes him more akin to a force of nature than a god or giant allowing him to return more easily from death.

As such, Ymir is one of the most powerful beings known. He has all the abilities of other frost giants, but to a much greater degree. His size, strength, and resistance to injury are far greater then any other frost giant surpassing that of even the thunder god Thor. He can generate intense cold from his body. He can freeze nearly anything he touches. As an elemental, Ymir is so far immortal and immune to the effects of time. Should his body be shattered he can mentally reform it and even if he is completely destroyed he can regenerate his body.

In battle Ymir prefers brute force and to use a giant club made of ice. These abilities combined with his immortality make him one of the few beings capable of actually challenging Odin and Surtur in direct battle with a chance at winning.

Weakness
Like all frost giants, Ymir is vulnerable to intense heat, but his own ability to generate intense cold negates all but the strongest sources of heat allowing him to survive in environments where other giants would die.

Despite his vast age, unlike Odin or Surtur, Ymir has never taken the time to develop his mind or demonstrated any capability for strategy. This makes most of his attacks a straight forward affair relying on brute force and his thinking bent on outright destruction with little else.
