Adamantium Reward: Angela (New Hero)
Bio: A long time ago, Asgard was at war with the Tenth Realm, Heven. In an attempt to blackmail Odin to surrender, the Queen of the Angels kidnapped Aldrif, Odin's first-born and heir to Asgard. Odin refused and witnessed the death of his infant daughter. Enraged, the All-Father banished all the Angels and sealed off Heven from the other Nine Realms. Unbeknownst to Odin and the Queen of the Angels, Aldrif survived and was raised, in secret, as a Huntress of Heven known as Angela the Wingless One, but recent events have revealed Angela's true parentage. Now shunned by the Angels and filled with an Angel's hate for Asgard, Angela seeks out a place for herself in the galaxy.
