Amora the Enchantress Appreciation

[Charlie_1981]

Everyone in this board knows my opinion and my thoughts about the Enchantress

The Enchantress, a very powerful Asgardian sorceress, her real name is Amora and has a younger sister named Lorelei, who for some strange reason that occurred in their childhood, has a deep grudge against her older sister to the point of not forgive her, no matter what happens.

Amora was born in Asgard of unknown parents, she learned sorcery from Karnilla the Norn Queen but was banished for indiscipline and soon after, she was looking for ways to increase her power being an apprentice from other sorcerers and sorceresses, gaining extensive experience in all types of magic and perfecting her seduction techniques, for now this is all that is known about her past.

Normally, she has the help of her partner, Skurge the Executioner, but Skurge died sacrificing his life for Thor when Amora rejected him on favor of Heimdall, on hearing the news of his death, Amora realized how much she loved Skurge, but her pride prevented her from saying anything. Amora has faced several times to the Avengers, The Valkyrie (with whom she had a deep rivalry) the Defenders, Thor, Dazzler, Dr. Strange.

She participated on the Secret Wars and was a key character on the creation of a new heroes and villains, like The Valkyrie on The Defenders, Powerman/Goliath/Atlas (Erik Josten), Wonder Man...
In one of the exiles to which she was submitted by Odin, Amora tired of fighting and feel rejected by Thor in more than one occasion, she decided it was time to change and began a relationship with him when he was banished by Odin, being both, the only Asgardians on Earth, which lasted until the events of Heroes Reborn.

Soon after, with the return of the heroes to Earth, Amora started again a relationship with Thor, coming to the Reigning and giving him a son, Magni who disappeared when everything returned to normal. More than once, Amora has fought on the side of the Asgardians and sometimes she has been a trusted ally of Loki, but usually she only is on one side, herself.

After her death off-panel in the Ragnarok´s Saga, now her total return is very expected after being revived by Thor with the power of Odinforce. What is the future of the Enchantress? I don´t know, but I hope and wish to see something really good.

Amora attempt to revive Skurge, but that began to cause a rupture of the reality, Thor, Balder and Loki tried to convince her to stop and after convince her that she was committed a mistake, Amora leaves the idea to keep trying to resurrect her old partner and let his soul rest on peace.

Amora (and Sif) is one of my favorite characters ever...

[Perfection/Emma 2]

Amora needs to become an Avenger, end of discussion.

[Charlie_1981]

Amora needs to become an Avenger, end of discussion.

That's true, Amora would be a great Avenger if the Scarlet Witch is still absent and with Doctor Strange out of game for the Doctor Voodoo´s thing, plus, I don't understand why Bendis uses only Spider-Woman, Ms. Marvel, Black Widow and Jessica Jones, when there a lot of female characters in the Marvel Universe.

Amora the Enchantress forever, in spite of, that now it is difficult to talk about her because there is no news, but I hope this thread serves for remember her and not forget her existence in the Marvel Universe.

[Zach J.]

I'm a big Amora fan. I was looking forward to her appearance with Thor 600. Damn that deceptive cover!

You're right in what you say, moreover, is the second time that Marvel does that, the first time made with this Thor´s issue in which Amora appeared on the cover, and after reading it, you realize that she doesn't appear in the whole issue like Thor#600.

Here I put the two confusing covers, who has read these two Thor issues, that they judge for yourself.
