Thor #346

The being called Kurse was originally Algrim the Strong, one of the Dark Elves of the extra dimensional realm of Svartalfheim who served the Dark Elves' ruler, Malekith the Accursed. Malekith captured Lorelei, an Asgardian woman who had used a magical potion to make the Asgardian thunder god Thor fall deeply in love with her

Thor #347

To rescue Lorelei, Thor went to he English Cotswolds, where stood the faerie castle that serves as a nexus between Earth and the other dimensional faerie realm of Svartalfheim. Thor broke through into the world of faerie and seeing Lorelei menaced by Malekith, became oblivious to everything else. Hence, he was easily ambushed by the superhumanly strong Algrim, who stood in shadow wearing ebony armor. Malekith had told Algrim he had chosen him to defeat Thor. But while Thor and Algrim fought each other, Malekith ordered that a pitfall be opened beneath their feet.

Thor #348
Thor and Algrim fell down a great chasm toward a lake of molten lava. Thor summoned his magic hammer Mjolnir, which carried him to safety, but Algrim plunged into the magma.

Secret Wars 2 #4

The magma's tremendous heat left Algrim on the brink of death. He would have been killed outright except that his enchanted armor protected him from the magma's full effects, and that his desire for vengeance for Thor gave him the will to live. In fact, the shock of the intense pain the magma caused him rendered Algrim amnesiac; not remembering the real reason why he fell into the lava, he knew only that Thor was somehow to blame.

Algrim's hatred of Thor was sensed by the incredibly powerful Beyonder who had come to Earth to investigate the nature of desire. Intrigued, the Beyonder decided, as an experiment, to restore Algrim to health, give him vastly greater strength and remodel his armor, and then see what Algrim would do. Somehow sensing that he would find Thor in New York City, Algrim, now transformed into the being called Kurse, passed from Svartalfheim to Earth and began walking across the ocean bottom to get to New York.

http://img135.imagevenue.com/loc1117/th_91053_Secret_Wars_II_006-14_122_1117lo.jpg http://img149.imagevenue.com/loc1023/th_91059_Secret_Wars_II_006-15_122_1023lo.jpg

Bill escaped death at the hands of Kurse by reverting to his humanoid form he no longer resembles Thor so Kurse no longer has any interest in him.

Powerpack #18

The Beyonder Remade Algrim into Kurse he no longer has a body he exist in a living mutating armor with one purpose to kill Thor.

http://img217.imagevenue.com/loc498/th_92811_Power_Pack_-_v1_-_018-01_122_498lo.jpghttp://img142.imagevenue.com/loc781/th_92812_Power_Pack_-_v1_-_018-02_122_781lo.jpg

Kurse wreaks havoc in Manhattan as he searched for Thor.He is confronted by the Power Pack who are no match for Kurse but do succeed in Temporarily stopping him after they find out he is Vulnerable to Iron and bury him alive by causing the collapse of a building under construction.

Thor #363

Not even being buried alive under a mountain of iron will keep Kurse form his vengeance he digs himself out the same day.

http://img200.imagevenue.com/loc238/th_94566_Thor_363-01_122_238lo.jpghttp://img13.imagevenue.com/loc988/th_94572_Thor_363-02_122_988lo.jpghttp://img222.imagevenue.com/loc558/th_94578_Thor_363-03_122_558lo.jpg

Power pack finds a injured Beta Ray Bill and discover that Kurse was the cause of his injuries.Beta Ray Bill injuries are so severe that he can not even stand.Power Pack informs Bill they have buried Kurse alive and he is dead bill does not believe that Kurse is dead and wonders if even if both Thor and himself together would be able to stand against him.


http://img149.imagevenue.com/loc618/th_95454_Thor_363-06_122_618lo.jpghttp://img178.imagevenue.com/loc438/th_95460_Thor_363-07_122_438lo.jpghttp://img31.imagevenue.com/loc1192/th_95461_Thor_363-08_122_1192lo.jpg

Kurse finally finds Thor and the two engage in a battle Kurse is clearly much stronger Thor resorts to putting on his belt of strength which DOUBLES his strength to even his fight kurse.

http://img140.imagevenue.com/loc718/th_98205_Thor_363-09_122_718lo.jpghttp://img241.imagevenue.com/loc157/th_98206_Thor_363-10_122_157lo.jpghttp://img231.imagevenue.com/loc443/th_98207_Thor_363-11_122_443lo.jpghttp://img156.imagevenue.com/loc1053/th_98208_Thor_363-12_122_1053lo.jpg

Hell yes, I've been waiting for this to come up.

I'd contribute some scans, but I'll wait till the threads been up a bit longer.

The Beyonder further increases his strength he is now much stronger than Thor even with Thor's strength being doubled by his belt.As Kurse is about to finish Thor Beta Ray and the Power pack arrive Energizer fires off a blast at Kurse and Thor is able to maneuver him into its path

http://img198.imagevenue.com/loc506/th_98853_Thor_363-13_122_506lo.jpghttp://img168.imagevenue.com/loc802/th_98859_Thor_363-14_122_802lo.jpghttp://img31.imagevenue.com/loc1193/th_98859_Thor_363-15_122_1193lo.jpg

Thor used his hammer to project intensive heat at Kurse. The heat, reminding Kurse of the lava pit, reawakened his memories of how he came to fall into it. AT last Kurse realized that it was not Thor but Malekith who was responsible and his hatred therefore shifted from Thor to Malekith

http://img139.imagevenue.com/loc865/th_99223_Thor_363-15_122_865lo.jpghttp://img239.imagevenue.com/loc53/th_99224_Thor_363-16_122_53lo.jpg

On Thor's instructions, Energizer, a member of Power Pack, absorbed energy from both Thor's and Beta Ray Bill's enchanted hammers and then fired a tremendously powerful ball of energy at Kurse.Even that is only able to knock Kurse unconscious but drains both hammers of all their energies.


http://img125.imagevenue.com/loc1042/th_99655_Thor_363-17_122_1042lo.jpghttp://img185.imagevenue.com/loc346/th_99660_Thor_363-18_122_346lo.jpghttp://img146.imagevenue.com/loc1022/th_99666_Thor_363-19_122_1022lo.jpg

Thor asked the Beyonder to send kurse to hel where he may find the one who betrayed him Malekith.

Thor #366


Kurse is now in Hel and has already destroyed half of Hela's kingdom looking for Malekith.He seems beyond the power of her touch and she wants him out she commands her warriors to drive him toward asgard and let the living know fear.

http://img196.imagevenue.com/loc254/th_12908_Thor_1986_9366_12_122_254lo.jpg

Thor #368

Kurse kills Malekith and then, his mission of vengeance finally fulfilled, he became peaceful and submissive.

http://img238.imagevenue.com/loc97/th_01911_Thor_1986_6368_02_122_97lo.jpghttp://img175.imagevenue.com/loc743/th_01912_Thor_1986_9368_03_122_743lo.jpghttp://img128.imagevenue.com/loc1151/th_01914_Thor_1986_4368_04_122_1151lo.jpg

Thor tells Heimdall that no prison in asgard would be able to hold kurse.

http://img128.imagevenue.com/loc1151/th_01914_Thor_1986_4368_04_122_1151lo.jpg

Thor sets out to look for the real balder and ask Agnar to go with heimdall who is taking Kurse away.Thor tells him that though he is now calm kurse has power enough to shake the foundation nine worlds.Agnar carries the sword of frey that can cut through any substance.Thor is not sure that even that would stop Kurse but knows of nothing else in asgard that could if it fails.

Fooled into seeing Thor as Malekith kurse attacks thor and gives him a savage beating.

Kurse was already twice as strong as Thor before his strength was increased by the Beyonder a second time.

http://img182.imagevenue.com/loc122/th_06214_Thor486-18_122_122lo.jpg

Thor #488

Kurse vs Thor and again Kurse has the upper hand in the fight

http://img145.imagevenue.com/loc1032/th_06925_Thor488-08_122_1032lo.jpghttp://img215.imagevenue.com/loc448/th_06837_Thor488-09_122_448lo.jpghttp://img220.imagevenue.com/loc464/th_06838_Thor488-10_122_464lo.jpg

Again When the Beyonder transformed Algrim into kurse he was already twice as strong as Thor.The beyonder then further increased his strength to a level beyond precise calculation.

http://img107.imagevenue.com/loc771/th_07572_Thor488-13_122_771lo.jpg

Thor temporarily gains the upper hand against kurse but know that the next time they clash he will be in his familiar role as the underdog.

Kurse dispatches Garm Hela's guard dog without any trouble at all.

http://img181.imagevenue.com/loc589/th_08362_Thor486-10_122_589lo.jpg

Malekith tricked kurse into thinking Thor was him and disguised himself as Lorelei so kurse would take him out of hell.

Kurse finally catches up with the real Malekith and beats him unconscious.

http://img211.imagevenue.com/loc70/th_09214_Thor489-12_122_70lo.jpghttp://img157.imagevenue.com/loc1142/th_09218_Thor489-13_122_1142lo.jpg

Kurse returns Malekith to hell and to Hela in exchange for Thor's freedom he also offers to stay Hela agree's.She seems happy to have a warrior with strength more than twice that of Thor.
