Other Info
Hogun's origins are somewhat shrouded in mystery; however, it is known that he is not a native Asgardian. Instead, Hogun originates from a far away land where his people were destroyed by a tyrant named Mogul while Hogun was gone. The destruction of his homeland was relayed to Hogun by the last remaining (mortally wounded) warrior of his homeland, Saguta. Hogun then vowed to slay Mogul. He has chosen to make Asgard his home base. (To learn about Asgardians and/or Asgard, click on the highlighted names above.)

Hogun is the most reasonable member of the "Warriors Three" (also including Fandral and Volstagg). With the Warriors Three, Hogun maintains the defense of Asgard and continues to aid his adopted homeland in various manners. Hogun has a grim, sombre, and sardonic demeanor, which earned him the name "Hogun the Grim." Hogun, with the Warriors Three, has fought valiantly along side Asgardian heroes such as Lady Sif, Balder, Heimdall, and Thor. (To learn about the different warriors and/or team above, just click on their highlighted names. Note: Beware of the revealing clothing worn by Sif on her bio page.)

Hogun has been involved in a great many adventures and quests, as a member of the Warriors Three, as an ally of Thor, and on his own. Hogun helped defend Asgard against Loki's rebellion. On different occasions, Hogun has helped defend Asgard against Surtur, Ymir, Seth, and the Destroyer. He has battled against the dragon Fafnir, Ego-Prime, Mercurio, and Xorr. In addition, with the help of the other members of the Warriors Three and Thor, Hogun was able to get his revenge and defeat the Mogul of the Mystic Mountain--who had destroyed Hogun's homeland so long ago. One time, Hogun even battled Daredevil. Also, he has even encountered Hulk and the Silver Surfer before. At one point, Hogun helped the Avengers battle Blastaar. (To learn about the different characters above, just click on their highlighted names. Note: Beware of the revealing outfit--in his woman-form--on Loki's bio page.)

Hogun and his band were presumed dead, after the events of Ragnarok. However, in reality, his soul (like all the others who perished in the Ragnarok) somehow got trapped within a human being named Trevor Newly who was a guard in a refugee camp in Africa. When Thor returned from the dead and started to bring the other Asgardians back, Hogun was among the first found and freed, along with his two friends Volstagg and Fandral. (To learn about Ragnarok, click on the highlighted name above.)

More recently, Hogun now resides in new Asgard, which Thor reconstructed near the old Route 66 in Oklahoma. (Click on the highlighted name above to learn about Asgard.)

  1. I didn't know he wasn't an Asgardian... it's nice that he found a new home =)

    I would have liked to hear some of his sardonic demeanor in the movie... that would have been funny =)
