Not Yeti Friday - Ymir



Ymir is a frost giant from Norse mythology.



He was co-opted for modern audiences by Marvel for their comics books. In these stories, he is a big powerful frozen brute that likes to destroy things.



A big hulking man-thing that lives in the ice.



He wields an ice-club.



He's kinda like a yeti.



I mean, there's no question he's a snow-man and an abominable one at that.



He battles Thor a lot.



It's like the old sherpa saying: "There is a Yeti in the back of everyone’s mind; only the blessed are not haunted by it."



No matter who you are, no matter where you turn, a yeti's going to show up.

And you will have to fight it.



Everybody gotta fight a yeti.
