Question about Angela, Thor's older sister

[CaptainMarvel19]

Angela was in Heven for untold eons, way before Thor was born.

now, we know that Thor and Co. eat Golden Apples to sustain their youth but Angela never ate them so how does she looks so very, very young???

did her time with the Angels altered her biology???

Angels are most likely immortal.

do you think Angela is immortal as well???

 

[Hypestyle]

not sure. not impressed by the character yet. mostly it seems like people are all into her because it's an ex-McFarlane character and the Spawn-era history.

So in comic-verse Angela has been added to the Asgardian family and is Thor's sister ?

She is sister by shared mother or father?

her mother is Freya and her father is Odin.

Ah ok thanks @CaptainMarvel19

Ah ok thanks @CaptainMarvel19

no problem.

what do you think about my post, AKA her apparent immortality (ageless)???

 

[Brutikus]

Well to me immortal has one meaning -


Definition of IMMORTAL

Definition of Immortal

1: exempt from deaththe immortal gods

2: exempt from oblivion : IMPERISHABLEimmortal fame

3: connected with or relating to immortality

4: able or tending to divide indefinitelyimmortal cell lines produced in culture

Angela indeed as an angel (was she an angel in the Biblical Heaven?) should be ageless but if she can die then does not quite meet immortality standard as I see it.

Equally if Odin can die he is not truly Immortal by how I define the meaning though he entering Valhalla is perhaps not meaning one's life and existence does end.

In contemporary and even ancient storytelling the word immortal tends to mean more often than not a creature or being that lives eternally but can die.

she was in the Spawn, yes.

in Marvel, she is a Goddess but apparently her biology was altered to being half Angel if we go by some evidence.

1. when she first appeared, Tony and GotG couldn't analyze what she is despite the fact they know about Asgardian Gods
2. she is weak to lightning, a trait shared by the Angels

In contemporary and even ancient storytelling the word immortal tends to mean more often than not a creature or being that lives eternally but can die.

yep, that's immortality we are talking about it here.

Ah ok cool.

Well I don't dislike the Angela character at all (pre or post Spawn era) and like her overall.

If she is now a Goddess and half Angel then that's an interesting mixture cause a Goddess is generally way more than an angel.

yeah, true.

in Marvel, there are 9 realms in Norse Mythology.

Heven is the Tenth realm introduced few years back.

there was Gods vs Angel war going on and Angela was kidnapped as a baby (she is Odins's firstborn).

Norse Gods consume Golden Apples to sustain their youth but Angela was in Heven and didn't consume any and she is hundreds of thousand years old and looks like she is in her early twenties.

hence, I think her biology was altered a bit.

She died in issue 100 of Spawn, that was an issue from 2000. As for her Marvel appearances, your theory might be on point.

Neil Gaiman is the one who created her. Her Image Comics appearances are very limited when you don't count reprints, they're under 50.

yeah, thanks!!!

I always think about stuff people usually don't
