Idunn

The gods, deprived of Idunn's apples, began growing old and grey.

Idunn stepped in to protect her husband.

Grimm states that "with the original form idis the goddess Idunn may possibly be connected."

Thus Idunn is a sister of the famous smiths, the Sons of Ivaldi.

Kelda shares powers common among all Asgardians including enhanced strength, durability and longevity (through periodic consumption of the golden apples of Idunn).

Þjazi then appeared in his eagle shape, grabbed Idunn and flew away with her to his realm of Þrymheimr, located in Jötunheimr.

The central characters in the crime novels are Magni Thorsson, a writer and love story translator and his former wife Idunn Baldursdottir police detective.

When they learned that Idunn was last seen going out of Asgard with Loki, they threatened him with torture and death until he agreed to rescue her.

She returns in Asgardian form at Thor's funeral at the end of "Fear Itself" alongside Freyja and Idunn.

Finding Idunn alone while Þjazi was out to sea on a boat, Loki transformed her into a nut and carried her back, flying as fast as he could.

As the modern English alphabet lacks the eth (ð) character,Iðunn is sometimes anglicized as Idun, Idunn or Ithun.

Because she brings renewal, rebirth from the death of winter, some Heathens associate Eostre with Idunn, keeper of the apples of youth in Scandinavian mythology".

In the eddic poem Hrafnagaldur Óðins, stanza 6, Idunn is identified as an "elf" (alfar) and the "youngest of the elder children of Ivaldi."

After the conclusion of Fear Itself, as Freyja, Frigga along with Gaea and Idunn assumed the identity of the All Mother .

Like all Asgardians, Balder possesses superhuman strength slightly superior to the average Asgardian male, superhuman endurance and longevity (via the Golden Apples of Idunn).

It involves several known figures from Norse mythology, including Odinn, Idunn, Heimdall, Loki and Bragi, but does not appear to describe a myth known from other sources.

Tyr later allied with Loki against Odin, and captured the goddess Idunn and her Golden Apples of Immortality, without which the gods would grow old and perish.

However, these stories were set during previous cycles of Ragnarok and characters based on some of these goddesses (Freya and Idunn) exist separately in the current Marvel Universe.

They are extremely long-lived (though not purely immortal like their Olympian counterparts), aging at an extremely slow rate upon reaching adulthood (through the periodic consumption of the golden apples of Idunn).

Like all Asgardians, Thor is incredibly long-lived and relies upon periodic consumption of the Golden Apples of Idunn to sustain his extended lifespan, which to date has lasted many millennia.

She later reveals to have stopped consuming the Apples of Idunn, thus lessening her stamina and resilience and reverting to a mortal form, and as a Valkyrior she's able to seal within herself the hammers.

After Thor dies during the Fear Itself event, Ulik replaces him as Tanarus, the new Thunder God, endorsed by the All-Mothers of the Vanir (Freyja, Gaea, and Idunn).

The Midgard Serpent reappears briefly when a group of Odin's enemies feed the Golden Apples of Idunn, intended for the Norse Gods, to the creature, intending to weaken the gods before an attack.

Later, at the agreed time, Loki lured Idunn out of Asgard into a forest, telling her he had found some apples that she might think worth having, and that she should bring her own apples with her to compare them.

For this reason the expressions "speech of Þjazi, Gangr or Idi" and "Idi's shining talk" are kennings for gold, and twice in the same book a kenning is given for Þjazi as "lady wolf", a reference to his abduction of Idunn.
