Balder the Brave

Balder is the biological son of Odin by Frigga. Balder's birth was not celebrated, as Odin received dreams and portents that foretold Balder's role as the catalyst for Ragnarok. The visions saw that Balder's death would start the Ragnarok. This made his mother decide to make him invulnerable to all weapons and spells, save for mistletoe wood. Balder grew up in the fabled halls of Asgard and became a stalwart friend and ally to Thor. He was also often seen with the Warriors Three, but was not part of that merry band. Balder became known for his kindness, which resulted in an innate empathy and symbiosis with all life, even extending to a connection to all animals in all realms touched by the World Tree (birds, deer, bears, even elves and dwarves) . This made fellow Asgardian Loki loathe Baldur. More then just once, Loki set a traps for the kind Balder, hoping for him to either perish or trying to blame a misdeed on him. Loki however never really succeeded and Balder's reputation as a just and noble immortal continued to grow. During his years as an adult, Balder fought alongside his fellow Asgardians' in many battles, earning the name "Balder the Brave" for his bravery shown in these battles.

Balder is birth-son of King Odin and Queen Frigga. He possesses an exceptional level of physical prowess that all Asgardians inherently can manifest:

Superhuman Strength - He can lift/press around 50 tons; his strength level slightly increases as long as he is in the realm of Asgard (the typical Asgardian has a lifting capacity of 15-25 tons)

Superhuman Agility - Baldur's natural dexterity exceeds that of typical Asgardians (and is of a superhuman capacity), giving him exceptional ability to perform demanding tasks and learn complicated physical skills with minimal effort.

Superhuman Durability - Through Frigga's blessing, Baldur cannot be harmed by any spell or weapon that is not made from mistletoe.

Superhuman Stamina-His body tissue is 3 times thicker than normal humans, this contributes to his strength and weight.

Balder is also a natural fighter. He is extremely skilled with a blade and in other forms of weapons. He also once possessed the highly powerful Norn Stones.

As the God of Light, Balder can also generate, manipulate and control a wide variety of energy sources; his primary focus is typically the use and control of light and heat.
