I grew up in Sweden so I rather fittingly had a school library with comics about norse mythology. [1] Also I think everyone in Sweden has heard of Goliat. [2]

- tormeh 12y agoNo, not if the comics stay true to the mythology, anyway. Norse mythology is pretty similar to Greek. The Gods aren't really heroes; they are Gods. They lack the "hero" in "superhero". The Marvel depiction of Loki is not as one-dimensional as that of Lex Luthor, for example, but the underlying myths actually depicts him a bit more nuanced still. And while the Gods are generally good, they are also at times foolish, funny and arrogant.
