Beowulf, God of the Sun and War
Once, mankind accepted a simple truth: that they were not alone in this universe. Some world's man believed home to their Gods. Others they knew to fear. From a realm of cold and darkness came the Frost Giants, threatening to plunge the mortal world into a new ice age. But humanity would not face this threat alone. We came… Asgardians. Our armies drove the Frost Giants back into the heart of their own world. The cost was great. In the end, their king fell, and the source of their power was taken from them. With the last Great War ended, we withdrew from the other worlds and returned home at the Realm Eternal, Asgard. And here we remain as the beacon of hope, shining out across the stars.
Asgard, since ancient times this beautiful and golden realm has been inhabited by warriors so powerful, many believed them to be immortal deities. Not far from the truth, but being immortal here in Asgard, was not the most pristine life. Ever few thousand years, the nine realms go through an apocalyptic event where everyone dies. They are then born anew with only vague memories of their past lives. This cataclysmic event is known as Ragnarok.
Hoping to put an end to this cycle of death and rebirth, Odin, the new king of Asgard fathered the greatest warrior the realms had ever seen. The Mighty Thor, is the son of Odin and Gaia; the Mother-Goddess of the Earth and Life. Though originally Odin simply wanted a child with the goddess, Odin was enamored by her beauty and wisdom before taking her as his wife.
As Thor grew, the time drew near for the next Ragnarok. Odin then told Thor of his destiny, hoping his child could end the cycle. In the end, Thor was able to end the cycle of Ragnarok. But, the backlash of power sent the multiverse into a flux. Time and Space, warped and Reality shattered. Slowly things were put back in place but not all was the same.
The Nine Realms found themselves in a different verse altogether. Still, Asgard endured and made a home in this new place. For years, Asgard grew and discovered life in this new realm. They took many under their wing, teaching them, training and nurturing them. In their exploration, they came across two planets in an eternal conflict with each other. A planet of young gods battled evil gods. These "New Gods" were led by Izaya; the Highfather and leader of the New Gods while the evil gods were led by his brother; Darkseid.
Odin watches the two engage in battle and watches as they both survive a planetary explosion. Still, Odin uses his power and feels that Darkseid has the advantage. He is right, in the end Izaya is struck down but still alive, only barely. Odin watches and the entity of tyranny before deciding to intervene. Grabbing his weapons, Odin uses his magic to merge Thrudstok and the Odinsword with his infamous Gungnir. He then puts on the Destroyer Armor and launches towards the battle, with all of Asgard following.
As if sensing a new arrival, Darkseid looks up, only to be overcome with light and blasted through the planetary debris. Darkseid recovers and glares at the new comer who stands with his arms folded. Izaya looks up weakly as the New Gods look on with surprise. Darkseid attacks with his Omega Beams, making Odin counter with a blast from his spear. The two attacks clash, creating a massive shockwave. Odin counters and blasts the evil god back to his planet, before panting. Izaya calls to his savior weakly, forcing Odin to take a knee beside him. Izaya grabs onto Odin and glows brightly. No words are said but Odin nods his head as Izaya fades, his essence encasing Odin. Odin looks to the New Gods and offers his hand, leading them to Asgard.
However, On Apokolips, Darkseid fumes with anger. His anger grows and grows before he feels a new arrival in his throne room. Standing in front of him is a purple giant who smirks at him. Again, no words are said but the two smirk as the purple entity fades, his essence merging with Darkseid. Stepping into the throne room are five figures who bow to Darkseid who stands. He is now wearing the armor of the purple entity that was in front of him.
Time went on and New Asgard grew to the size of a planet. Still evil lurked as the planet Apokolips erupted with anger and rage. Odin new that is would be only a matter of time before the evil would come back. The young gods built great cities and technology to be ready. A good thing as war erupted soon after. The armies of New Asgard we lead by the son of Odin.
The battles went on, but New Asgard, stood against the tide, time and time again. Then, the Odinsleep came. As if knowing this, Darkseid summoned all his forces and attacked New Asgard. Thor led the armies of Asgard to meet the enemy. Odin is guarded by a trinity of female warriors. Lady Sif, Brunnhilde, and Amora. As Thor battled the evil forces, Darkseid flanked the Asgardians and went after Odin himself. There he met the three in battle. Amora launches a blazing spell of green fire, making Darkseid grunt but walk forward. Lady Sif and Brunnhilde attack from different directions but nothing stops Darkseid who grabs the two warriors and slams them to the ground. Amora uses magic to heal them but suffers a back hand from Darkseid. Lady Sif and Brunnhilde stand and charge only for Darkseid's eyes to glow red. Two beams come from his eyes and zig zag before hitting the two warriors. The two land with grunts and smoking bodies.
Darkseid looks down at Odin before attacking but to his anger and surprise, his attack is stopped by a large Frost giant. On the giant stands Loki who glares at Darkseid. Darkseid is then swatted away from Odin by a large flaming hand. Angered, Darkseid looks up to see Surtur growling down at him. On the battlefield, dwarves, dark elves, light elves, giants, fire demons, and creatures from Hel itself come to battle. The Nine Realms have allied themselves with Asgard.
Amora crawls over to Sif and Brunnhilde and tries to heal them but the damage of the Omega Effect is too great, even for her.
The two women would lie next to each other before Sif would awake. With great pain and difficulty, Brunnhilde grabs onto Amora with Sif doing the same. Amora looks behind her to see Loki hitting the ground as Darkseid dodges a blow from Surtur. Malekith attacks with magic but is countered by Darkseid's Omega Beams. Amora turns back to her fellow sisters and thinks over their lives. Sif and Brunnhilde were always at odds with Amora but their relationship has changed over the years. Using her magic, Amora takes the power and essence of her sisters, empowering herself. As their bodies fade, Amora picks up Brunnhilde's sword and Sif's shield. She then creates armor for herself before attacking Darkseid head on. Surprised by her newfound power, Darkseid suffers several slashes before being blasted by magic. With his time running out to end Odin, Darkseid roars and powers through all in his way, shocking Amora. Before he reaches Odin, he is struck back by a beam of light. Growling, Darkseid stands to see Odin awake and angry. Knowing his chance is gone, Darkseid retreats.
With the battle over, Amora mourns her sisters before dedicating her time to honing her new found skills. She is the first one up and training. She then delves deeper into the mystic arts, even taking lessons from the Mother-Goddess Gaia. All the while, a pair of eyes watching her. Thor looks on at Amora who can feel his gaze. Finally, after thousands of years, Amora has gotten what she always wanted. The love of the Mighty Thor. Time went on before Thor and Amora were happy to announce, she was with child. On that day the heroes would feast in the grandchild's honor.
However, leaders of the nine realms were not as happy. They had risked their lives to defend Asgard who has been at war with them for centuries. Arguments broke out before Odin stood. Malekith leader of the Dark Elves, Surtur Leader of the Fire Demons, Laufey Leader of the Frost Giants, Hela Ruler of Hel, Eitri the Dwarf King, Freyja Queen of the Vanir, and Queen Aelsa Featherwine of the light elves, were assured that their alliance with Asgard was eternal. However, some were not so sure. Gaia stood and offered a solution.
Amora's child would go through a ritual, and be imbued with the powers of all nine realms. This would mean the child's power would come from all the nine realms, not two but all nine. He would become the champion and protector of the nine realms, like Thor who is protector of Asgard. Amora agreed if it meant her child would gain more power and be protected. Amora uses magic to complete the ritual after gaining elements from each realm. Gaia gives her a single drop of her blood before Amora drinks the mixed ingredients. She was told the spell worked when her stomach glowed, showing the fetus in her stomach.
However, Amora was not done ensuring her child's safety and power. She knew the war was not over and her child would be forced to fight. Odin and Thor would comfort her but even they knew this was true. Amora with the intention of protecting her child, traversed the multiverse, looking for certain ingredients she would need to make the strongest weapon in the multiverse. A weapon on par with Mjolnir and Gungnir. She would gather the strongest of metals; Uru, Nth Metal she came across when a group of Thanagarians attacked her, Vibranium, Adamantuim, and Anti-Metal.
Heavy with child, Amora arrives on Nidavellir. Here she searches for Eitri; the Dwarf King. Finding him, she requested that he make a sword out of these metals. Eitri gets to work and enlist four other dwarves including Brokkr. Amora leads the dwarves to a giant dying dwarf star where the dwarves harnessed the power and began to forge the weapon. The construction was so intense, it caused the star to explode, wiping out a nearby planets of primitive life. The remnants of the explosion, was absorbed into the blade. The blade is sharp enough to split atoms and cut through anything. Eitri looks at the blade and smiles before thinking of what to do for the handle.
Amora steps forward and produces six gems, making the Dwarves look on in shock. She has in front of her, the six infinity stones. Stones left over after the creation of the universe. These stones were collected by Asgard for safe keeping but 5 were given to other realms. Amora has convinced these realms to give her child these gems so that he/she would be able to better protect the nine realms. Eitri continues his work and together with all the dwarves, forges a handle capable of harnessing the power of the stones. Amora also commissions a set of armor to be built. She has felt the power of her child growing and needs the armor when he grows up. With the blade complete. Amora takes it and arrives in the center of the largest star in the multiverse. The star is so massive; a red supergiant. The heat generated by it is so strong, no life was able to form in the nearby systems. She enchants the blade to house the sun, just as Mjolnir is enchanted to house a cosmic storm. With the deed done, Amora gives the blade back to Eitri before returning to Asgard.
Months passed before the day that all of Asgard was waiting for arrived. The planet itself was silent before the cries of a new born baby echoed across Asgard. The child would be named Beowulf. His first gift was the invulnerability of Baldur, gifted by Odin, his second gift by Gaia was the Unlimited Strength of Heroes. But he also had gifts of his own. Beowulf was able to freely control the sun and its aspects. Odin and the others learned this when the baby began to cry. His cries summoned such destruction and intense heat, all of Asgard shook. It took Amora's humming and Thor's power to stop the crying baby. Days would go by before Eitri would come to deliver the weapon of the child. The weapon is a broad sword. Solblad meaning Sun Blade would be the name of the sword. On the handle of the sword are the six infinity stones with the Soul Stone being the pommel.
Beowulf began his training before he could walk. He was taught by the greatest warriors and gods on Asgard in battle. Taught by Amora herself in the mystic arts and taught by Thor to harness his power. He learned to trick his opponents from Loki, and was taught by Gaia in history, math, etc. At 15, his power was so destructive that he needs to wear a suit of armor designed to seal his power within. It features a silver tunic with gold plate arms and shoulder guards. The armor is made from Uru and Nth Metal, making it incredibly dense and magic resistant. His silver and gold helmet is similar in appearance to Thor's with metal wings. On his back is a red cape.
And then, War came again. Beowulf was thrust into the heat of battle. But… he was born for it. At 15, he was already a force to be reckoned with. In one battle, Beowulf and his opponent clashed with such force that the collision between the two obliterated the entire planet. He has stabbed Solblad into a moon and shattered it, tanked a planet busting weapon, and while he is invulnerable, he can still be wounded by Radion. But his healing factor is so powerful he can regenerate from nearly anything, killed Celestials, head-butted a moon, and cut a planet in half. And once stopped a giant meteor shower himself by turning into a ray of light and vaporizing them rocks instantly. According to Metron, given the thousands of meteors coming down at faster than light speeds and at the same time, to vaporizes them all, Beowulf must have been going thousands of times faster than the speed of light, though he was knocked out cold from doing this feat. After intense training with Heimdall, Beowulf discovered he has Omni-Senses before training to control them. Having been through many battles, Odin named Beowulf the God of the Sun and War.
With Solblad merged with the Infinity Stones and Beowulf gaining access to the Odinforce, Beowulf gains nearly omnipotent levels of power, with control over all six aspects of existence and the Odinforce, making him one of the most powerful warriors in the Nine Realms. Though he is still under Thor, Darkseid, Gaia, Odin, Loki, and his mother Amora. His armor also contains a great deal of his godly power but if it were to crack or break, his vast power would flood out. Beowulf has pulled down moons, manipulated terrain of planets, created black holes, created a worm hole to evacuate an exploding planet in less than 3 seconds, and created an alternate reality during the Odinsleep to trick the approaching army... for seven days. His feats aside, Beowulf's arrogant and playful attitude has put him in trouble. He has fallen for Corvus Glaive's traps, gotten his powers sealed away, and lost to Darkseid himself.
At 600 years old, Beowulf is 6'10 and around 600 pounds. Time on Asgard flows differently. He possesses an athletic build with a generous degree of muscle. He possesses blue eyes from both his mother and father but has a unique red hair color. He has pointed ears from the elf races and his heat is comparable to that of Surtur's. His eyes retain a bio-luminescent cast when actively using his powers, and appear as sunlight within his eyes. When angered, Beowulf would enter the Berserker Rage. In this state, Beowulf loses all control and ignores all pain. The more damage that is done to him, only makes him stronger. He is empowered by any type of conflict on a multiversal scale since he is connected to the nine realms, is a master of anything that can be considered a weapon, and can affect the opposite sex with his speech. He also can implement his voice to attack. A single Shout can destroy a planet. He has mastered all forms of unarmed combat within the nine realms, with the exception of Midgard as he has never been to earth.
He has battled all members of Darkseid's Black Order. He has shrugged of blows from Black Dwarf and Proxima Midnight. Battled Corvus Glaive to a draw with nothing but weaponry as his powers were nullified. Blocked Darkseid's Omega Beams with Solblad, Defended the Bifrost Bridge by himself as Heimdall was incapacitated. Summoned a ray of light powerful enough to incinerate a planet, decimating an army and has regenerated from nothing but his skeleton after tanking a Radion Bomb. All in all, Beowulf is a force to be reckoned with, truly living up to his title of Champion on the Nine Realms. However, Odin has begun to sense danger emanating from Midgard and has chosen Beowulf to investigate. Beowulf's age, turning him into and infant and sending him to Midgard.
This earth is a little different from the earth we know. During the Viking era, the Vikings managed to seize a foothold in conquered lands and built their own kingdom. Sweden, Finland, Estonia, Latvia, Lithuania, Denmark, Iceland, Greenland, and Svalbard all make up the Kingdom of Norway. The Kingdom of Norway still prays to the old gods. The Young Queen of only 25 Agneta had lost her baby in childbirth. Her husband and King Consort Anderson would not blame her and would say he still loves her not matter. But Agneta had wanted a child of her own. At night she prayed to any god that would listen to bless her womb with the fruit of life. Her prayers were answered when her palace was overcome with rainbow light. Rushing outside she would gasp in shock at the sight of a golden crib and white smooth fabric containing a sleeping baby. A single letter was attached to the crib. Agneta would read her letter and gasp. The letter detailed the child's origin and who the parents were as well as why he had been sent. Anderson would be at a loss for words before Agneta would look at the child. His silver red hair and blue eyes drew her in. The couple would take the child in as their own. As they had not yet announced the death of their actual child, they would name Beowulf their son and heir. His earth name would be Prince Calder.
As the years went on Beowulf began to remember his true name and the reason he was here. Still he found himself attached to his earth parents but never forgot who his real ones were. Beowulf studied as much as he could, learning what he could of Midgard, even how to speak correctly. As he grew, he learned all forms of martial arts on Midgard, and studied earth's history. He would then take up his true name and become protector of Midgard. On Midgard he would rack up even more feats to add to his name. He has tagged Savitar, the self proclaimed God of Speed, in the same fight he withstood multiple Infinite Mass Punches, tanked a Nuclear Warhead, obliterated one billions tons of rock with a whisper, freeing trapped civilains, and overpowered Black Adam's Shazam Bolt with his own godly power.
Kingdom of Norway, Saturday, Noon
The people of the Kingdom go about their daily lives, knowing that the Royal Family will always take care of them and that Beowulf will always protect them. Kids run freely through the streets, men and women smile as they head to work, the elderly are helped by law enforcement, and everybody is content. The peace is then ruined when a yellow comet smacks against one of the many skyscrapers within the Kingdom. The people scatter as law enforcement evacuates the streets. A bald man with muscle comes out of the building with blood running down his head. He holds his shoulder with a wince before yellow energy forms and puts his arm in a brace. This man is named Mallow; a member of the Sinestro Corps. He had come to earth on the orders of Sinestro but quickly found himself dealing with one of the earths protectors. The sun shines down on him, making Mallow growl. the rays seem to intensify and burn him.
"Hmph, I suppose a single punch was not enough." States a voice, making Mallow look up and spot a figure descending from the sky with his arms folded and cape flapping, "Still a single punch should tell you the difference between you and me." Beowulf float directly in front of the sun's rays, creating a godly image of himself.
"I-It's...," Stutters a civilian boy with wide eyes as he stares at the armored visage of Beowulf. Beowulf's head is covered by his helmet as his red hair flows behind him while he stares down at Mallow, "Beowulf!"
"And that was just me saying 'Hello'." Boasts Beowulf before Mallow growls. Mallow shoots towards Beowulf, yellow energy trailing behind him. Beowulf spots him coming and smirks. The two clash before Mallow forms an ax. Acting quickly, Beowulf draws Solblad and smiles when the ax shatters upon contact with the blade. Mallow is sent flying back before recovering. Beowulf's eyes glow a bio-luminescent white as Solbad is overcome with an intense aura. Beowulf flies forward, prompting Mallow to create a shield. Beowulf easily shatters the shield before Mallow makes another. This time Beowulf comes down with an overhead, shattering the shield and stunning Mallow. Beowulf then throws Solblad with force and watches as Mallow begins to create an orb around himself. However, before it is complete, Solblad pierces through the orb and enters his shoulder, sending the yellow lantern to the ground, creating a crater. Beowulf descends casually as he hears Mallow yelling with anger.
"Dammit, Dammit!." Growls Mallow as he can't move with Solblad in his shoulder and in the ground.
"I suggest you surrender." States Beowulf as he grasps the handle of his sword, "The courts are much more merciful than I." With his warning said, Beowulf pulls his blade from Mallow who shouts out as blood leaks from his wound.
"But they will be merciful, you have my word." Assures Beowulf before Mallow growls and his ring glows.
"DAMN YOU!" Roars Mallow as he points his ring at Beowulf's face, making the Asgardian widen his eyes in surprise. The yellow light from the ring envelopes him as a beam is launched from the ring. The beam is so powerful it makes a hole through several buildings. Mallow pants as smoke clouds his vision.
"Not so tough now are you, pretty boy?!" Laughs Mallow before his laughs die in his throat as the smoke clears to reveal a cold looking Beowulf, whose hand has caught Mallow's.
"Very well, you do not have my word." States Beowulf before he crushes and snaps Mallow's hand, making the yellow lantern howl in pain. As Mallow falls back, his ring is taken by Beowulf. Beowulf thrusts the tip of his sword into the forehead of Mallow who becomes still as stone, fearing for his life. The purple gem on the handle of his sword glows before Mallow shouts in pain. Beowulf is able to subtly use the energy of the Power Stone as a very effective form of torture by exposing an individual to the energy of the Power Stone and his Sunlight to cause them to tremendous pain and can limit the amount of energy sent into the body of said being to avoid killing them.
"I-I surrender!" Shouts Mallow before the pain stops and he faints.
"Good." States Beowulf before his Omni-Senses pick up a new arrival.
"I'll take it from here." States a voice, making Beowulf glance behind him without fully turning. Floating behind him a black man with a green light over his body. On his hand is a green ring.
"I take it, you are a friend of his?" Questions Beowulf as John Stewart looks to the teen god.
"Hardly, I'm here to take him in." Retorts John Stewart with a hard tone.
"Your assistance is not needed or wanted, besides I've already dealt with him." States Beowulf with a dismissive tone, "He will be taken in by the law enforcement of the Kingdom."
"This man is not human and a prison won't hold him with the weapon he's got." States John Stewart with a hard tone, getting tired of the back and forth.
"Oh, you mean this?" Questions Beowulf as he holds up the yellow ring, surprising John. Normally, people would be overcome with the influence of Fear but this teen simple holds it as if it were a mere trinket.
"Give it to me and I'll ensure its destroyed." Demands John with his hand extended. Beowulf smirks before snapping his left hand shut. A yellow energy is released before it stops and Beowulf opens his palm to show a destroyed lantern ring. After destroying the ring, Beowulf turns to John fully. The action causes John to look on with surprise and become wary.
"Now, get lost before you end up in your friends position." Warns Beowulf with a smirk, making John narrow his eyes. This kid has no respect but little does John know, Beowulf only shows respect to people who earn it.
"Listen kid," starts John Stewart, making Beowulf's ears twitch, "I'm thinking the Justice League is going to want to have a few words with you."
"Kid?" Repeats Beowulf with shadowed eyes. Kid he said! While I appear to be an average 14 year old teen god... mentally I am over 600 years old! His young age is shown on his face and body type. He is only 6'0 and weighs 400 pounds. A far cry from his true potential. At 600 years old, Beowulf was 6'10 and over 600 pounds. Being turned into an infant has also weakened most of his powers. Not taking them away, it's just his immature body can't handle the power of some of his abilities. That being said... he's still very powerful.
"So lets do this nice and easy." Finishes John, knowing that Batman would want to meet this kid and keep him under surveillance. John would agree after seeing what this kid is capable of.
"What fun would that be?" Retorts Beowulf with a smirk as John's ring glows.
"Get lost." Whispers Beowulf, using his quasi-sonic voice. The action makes John Stewart to form an orb around himself but to his surprise, the orb is shattered and he is blasted back, down the street. Green Lantern lands in a heap and groans before struggling to open his eyes. Beowulf comes down with a smirk on his face and punches John into the ground with enough force to uproot the ground around them and shake the whole city. In the crater stands Beowulf who hovers over a beaten and battered John Stewart. Beowulf holds John up by his shirt as he stares down at him.
"I think introductions are in order." States Beowulf as John weakly opens his eyes, "First, the name is Beowulf, Son of Amora, Thor; Son of Odin and Gaia, God of the Sun and War. Champion of the Nine Realms... and I am no child." With his introduction over, Beowulf pulls his right fist back before throwing it forward. John's vision is clouded by the teen god's fist.
Ok guys, I've completed the new chapter for the Rewrite.
As you've read, I've changed the name to Beowulf, I like it better.
Also, Thor is married to Amora because... I like Amora.
A couple of things, yes Beowulf has the Infinity Stones but the reason I gave them to him is because they are not really powerful in the DC Verse. Darkseid is powerful enough to beat someone wielding them. But I thought it would be cool to give them to Beowulf. Beowulf cannot use all six stones together, only two at a time. The stones are embedded in the handle of Solblad which appearance wise is the same as Gut's blade in Berserk. The handle is long and gold. This mean there are very few who can even touch the sword, let alone pick it up. To wield it or even pick it up, one must be pure of heart, noble of mind, and Solblad itself has to accept you as its wielder. So far, only Thor, Amora, Odin, and Gaia have even picked it up but none of them have accessed its vast power, except for Beowulf.
The Black Order is also in this fic so I hope you enjoy that.
His Sun powers are similair to that of Apollo's, Helios's, Ra's, etc. His eyes glow the same color as Helios's from God of War 3.
I will be putting another team in this fic. Here's what I got so far; James Roger; Son of Steve Rogers and Black Widow. Super Soldier, Spy, Master Martial Artist and Leader. Alex Stark; Son of Tony Stark and Pepper Pots. Genius, Incinerator Ring holder, and High Tech Armor, based off Abigail Burns but male. Kate Bishop; Adopted Daughter of Clint Barton. Master Archer, Proficient Hand to Hand combatant, and skilled athlete. Elizabeth Braddock; Telepath, combatant, and mutant. Quicksilver. Super Speed, Can Access the Speed Force, and has abilities similar to Tracer. Peter Rasputin. Mutant, Heavy Hitter, and Juggernaut Powered.
I think they match up good. Now, who to pair with Beowulf. Honestly... I have no idea... Raven?
Beowulf has tons of powers I have picked through all comics. This also includes feats. I do not Own Marvel or DC Comics, just this Fic.
Next Chapter- Saving the Earth! Meeting the Sidekicks?
