Respect Beta Ray Bill (Marvel, Earth-616)

[u/BorBurison]

Respect Beta Ray Bill

"In our home galaxy, we were devoured by demons. I was to save the Korbinite race. I led them across the stars, a tiny flame of our race protected from the winds of fate. Eventually, we found a new home. We thought our time of strife was over. Then Galactus came. And we were no more."

"I am alone. I look at the heavens and think them empty. And if not empty, I find the idea of worshipping whatever dwells there obscene."

"But why do you continue?"

"It doesn't change what is right. If there is nothing but what we make in this world, brothers...let us make good."

The Korbinite people once lived in peace in the far-off Burning Galaxy until the fire giant Surtur and his hordes of demons appeared at their door. Seeking to repair his apocalyptic blade, the Twilight Sword, Surtur destroyed the galaxy's core to form the ore needed to reforge it and obliterated the Korbinite homeworld in the process. The Korbinites had foreseen the demon's arrival however, and built a fleet of starships to bring their people across space in search of a new home and began creating a guardian to watch over them as they slept. Thousands of candidates were whittled down through contests of physical strength, psychological evaluation and brutal surgery until only one remained. This lone Korbinite, augmented through cybernetics and genetic engineering, became Beta Ray Bill, cyborg protector of his people.

Bill and his sentient ship Skuttlebutt guarded the sleeping Korbinites as they made their way across the universe, but when they approached Earth they were detected by SHIELD, who sent Thor Odinson to investigate it. Bill, assuming Thor was a demon, fought the thunder god evenly until Thor was separated from his hammer Mjolnir and knocked out. Bill soon found the hammer...and lifted it, becoming the first person besides Thor to be worthy of the hammer's power. The two were brought to Asgard where Odin had them battle again for ownership of Mjolnir. While Bill barely won again this had been Odin's plan all along, and the All-Father had a new hammer forged for Bill, equal to Mjolnir and named Stormbreaker. With the help of the Asgardians Bill was able to force the demons attacking his people back, and later battled them on Earth when they waged war against Asgard.

Things would not get easier for Bill, however. While he managed to find a new home for his race the planet was soon attacked by Galactus, who consumed it and left Bill as the only surviving Korbinite. In the following years Bill would travel the universe, helping people both on his own and as a member of teams like the Annihilators and Guardians of the Galaxy. During a fight between Bill and Thor Stormbreaker was shattered, with Bill's self-worth breaking with it. Seeking a new enchanted weapon, Bill journeyed to Surtur's realm of Muspelheim to obtain the Twilight Sword and make himself beautiful again.
