[edit] Fictional character biography
Hermod is a young god who is shrouded in mystery. It is known, however, that Odin will usually employ Hermod as a messenger because of his great speed. Hermod's greatest mission was when he traveled to Hel in order to ask the goddess Hela for information on how to revive Balder the Brave. Because of the events of Ragnarok, Hermod is believed to have suffered the same fate that befell the rest of the Asgardians.
[edit] Powers and abilities
Hermod possesses normal strength, stamina, and durability for an Asgardian god. He also can run at speeds far exceeding those of other Asgardian gods.
[edit] In other media
Hermod appears as a non-player character in the video game Marvel: Ultimate Alliance. He has special dialogue with Thor where it is mentioned that Hermod evaded capture.
