Hoder is a fictional character appearing in the Marvel Comics universe, based loosely on the Höðr of Norse myth. Hoder is a totally blind, elder Asgardian god who was once tricked by Loki, God of mischief, into nearly killing Balder by shooting him with an arrow made of mistletoe wood which is the only thing that Balder is vulnerable to.
Because of the events of Ragnarok, Hoder is believed to have suffered the same fate that befell the rest of the Asgardians.
[edit] Powers and abilities
As well as possessing the superhuman abilities shared by all the Gods of Asgard, such as superhuman strength enabling him to lift 20 tons, Hoder can also receive visions of a far distant future or of events that will occur in other realities.
