History

Magni was born roughly 20 years after Thor and the other Asgardians took control of Earth. As an infant, he was taken hostage by Balder during a revolt by the remnants of Earth's heroes. Loki killed Balder and Thor put an end to the heroes.

As he grew up, Magni adventured throughout the kingdom, battling the Midgard Serpent, averting natural disasters and other adventures. He grew to dislike Loki's treatment of the humans but followed his father's wishes out of loyalty. This doubt deepened further when he, the Warriors Three and Thialfi investigated a rebellion witnessing the cruel brutality of the Asgardians and the sheer amount of resentment towards their occupancy of earth displayed by the mortalities.

Magni had also entered a relationship with a human woman named Jordahl, a petty thief and pickpocket whose free spirited fiery persona perked his interests. When Loki found out said common criminal had caught the princes eye after she'd eluded capture, he impersonated him to resume their get together only have both her and her mother imprisoned, taken to one of his reconditioning facilities. After Magni learned of what had happened from local residents after he'd paid visit to her ruined home, he flew into the internment camp and rescued her eventually taking the young lass to an old friend. While communing with the exiled Lady Sif in order to help her he found himself at a loss, full of lamentation over the erasure of her once vibrant persona.

When he returned home only to witness that Kya being hanged, her spirit led him to Mjolnir, which he would take the time and experiment with in discovering its usage. Magni went to see Sif again after finding he was chosen worthy of the fabled hammer of his father, under her tutelage in its use they ventured to Asgard only to have learned from a withered Ulik, that it had fallen into decay due to lack his people's presence there. Armed with this new knowledge the two returned home and confronted Thor.

As he challenged the All Father to lift the sacred mallet after much refuting by his birth mother and conniving uncle after accusing them both of being power mongering toadies feeding into their lords faulty leadership, they were interrupted when New Asgard came under siege by the return of Desak. Magni seemed unsurprised by this turn of events just as his father was poised to accept his sons chap, though if knowing the slayer of god's arrival was somehow a karmic reckoning for them, once again rebuked by Thor for his claim Magni sets out to battle the unassailable threat beside him. Though injured in the ensuing battle The Son of Thor pressures his attack repeatedly, staying in the fight just long enough to watch his uncle unleash The Destroyer upon their foe. To their horror however the host powering the destroyer was revealed to be the scourge of deities' creator; The Designate.

Both father and son partake to Loki's misdeeds in keeping her from uplifting mankind to keep them beneath Asgard's collective boot before having the battle resumed for them, yet after dealing what was presumed to be a finishing blow. Terene's agent quickly recovered while the cosmic entity herself put Magni down for the count indefinitely. Thor finally realizing the consequences of his actions, undid events leading to this future by going back in time and blending his divine and mortal consciousnesses back together again.

In this new timeline, Enchantress learned of Magni's existence. She tricked Thor and Ullr into assisting her in a ritual. Though she claimed her aim was to revive her other son Iric, it brought Magni to Earth-616.

Powers

Asgardian Physiology: Magni seemed to possess the same power and skill as his father Thor though to a greater degree physical wise due to being God of Strength.

• Superhuman Strength: As the God of Strength Magni has far greater strength than the average Asgardian male and can lift 100 tons.
• Superhuman Speed: All Asgardians have the potential of being able to run and move at speeds much greater than the finest human athlete.
• Superhuman Stamina: The musculature of the Asgardian Gods produce considerably fewer fatigue toxins during physical activity than the muscles of human beings. An average Asgardian God can exert themselves at peak capacity for about 24 hours before fatigue impairs them.
• Superhumanly Dense Tissue: The skin, muscle, and bone tissues of the Asgardian Gods are about three times as dense as the same tissue of a human body, contributing to their superhuman strength and weight.
• Superhuman Durability: As the God of Strength Magni possesses great physical durability.
• Regenerative Healing Factor: Despite their natural durability, it is possible for any of the Asgardian Gods to sustain injury. However, if injured, their highly advanced metabolism enables them to recover with superhuman speed and efficiency.
• Superhuman Longevity: The Asgardian Gods are extremely long-lived, but they are not truly immortal like the Olympian Gods. They age at a much slower rate, but they are not immune to the effects of aging. Their bodies are also immune to all known Earthly diseases and infection.
