From a young age, Amora had always desiredThor, although she admitted that this was only because he preferredSifover her. This caused a bitter rivalry with Sif to ensue after Amora attempted to seduce Thor in hopes of keeping him for herself. To do this, Amora allied herself withLokiand the two of them developed a plot in which they manipulated Sif into stealing the Mirror of Mycha fromKarnilla's palace. Once in possession of the mirror, Amora took it so that she could use its power to have Thor for herself. After their success, Amora and Loki decide that the mirror must be returned to its rightful place, lest their plot be discovered. However, they could not do this without the cloth that the mirror was originally draped in, at which point Loki showed his true colors when he stated that he had no connection to their crime, leaving Amora to take the blame if the mirror is not returned. Before Amora could chastise Loki, Sif andBrunnhildaappear, demanding that Amora revert her spell on Thor as payment for the return of the mirrors cloth. Amora immediately refused, and the four young gods quickly entered into a brief battle until it is interrupted by Thor who threatened to inform Odin himself about the whole ordeal. Brunnhilda then shattered the mirror, breaking the spell placed on him. With his mind clear, Thor admitted he expected no less from Amora, but was disappointed in Sif because she attempted to use trickery to gain his love, although the two made up before the story's end.Ages of ThunderThe gods of Asgard have repeated their lives endlessly through the ages; they have lived, through Ragnarok countless times with their roles and personalities shifting slightly during each retelling of their story. Amora has been known as Freyja, Iduna, Mardol, and Gefn, though even in these iterations she always retains her core attributes: control of powerful magic and unparalleled beauty.In 'Ages of Thunder', which tells the story of a long-past cycle, Amora is known as Iduna, the goddess tasked with an immensely important task of collecting the Golden Apples which grew fromYggdrasil, the life tree.The Golden Appleswere consumed by the Asgardians in order to maintain their youth and power. The apples would only grow if Iduna were present, and only she, the essence of feminine perfection, could remove them, unspoiled, from the tree. During this time, The Enchantress was the object of desire for many. Her beauty caused her to be sought after by a stonemason who was assigned to repair the great wall which surrounded Asgard after an attack by the Frost Giants.In a second story of the same cycle, a lost and wandering Loki bargains the Enchantress to the Frost-King so that he may find his way to the Bifrost bridge and back to Asgard. After this deal is struck and the Asgardians are reminded that only the Enchantress can retrieve the Gold Apples that sustain their power and vitality, the Frost giant is slain by Thor, thus allowing the Goddess to return to her garden.Amora also obtained the mythical story that centered around the Nordic Goddess Freyja, where she gave herself to three Dwarves in order to obtain an exquisite jeweled necklace that they had created. It was also noted during these stories, that Amora had many lovers and would openly rejectOdin, by refusing to bed with him. This caused him to violently take her newly acquired necklace while also informing her that she had defiled herself when she gave her body to the Dwarves. Out of humiliation and anger, Amora cast a spell which caused the dead on Earth to rise and torture humanity, forcing Thor to intervene and defeat the newly risen army of the dead.Masters of EvilAfter Amora's initial encounters withThorleft her love-struck, she decided to seduce the God of Thunder in his Donald Blake identity. Amora also attempted to destroy Thor's love interest,Jane Foster, so that he would belong to her completely. Even though Amora was often aided byLoki, her plans were never successful, at least not for long. Amora was soon accompanied by another man namedSkurge, who seemed to have fallen madly in love with her and did anything that she required. Amora only took advantage of Skurge's willingness by stringing him along with her feminine wiles, often withholding her favors, and simply using him as her "muscle". Amora also briefly served as one of Loki's lieutenants when she and Skurge aided him in his attempt to conquer Asgard. After a streak of crimes against Asgard and Thor, Amora and Skurge were both banished to Earth, where they joinedBaron Zemo'soriginal'Masters of Evil'. During this time, Amora and Skurge had allied themselves withArkon, TheMandarin, and Loki, when they repeatedly faced off against Thor andthe Avengers. Amora was occasionally challenged by theScarlet Witch'smutant gift, when she attempted to divert her divine spells.During her time with theMasters of Evil,Amora is noted for giving other super humans their original powers, such as Power Man andBarbara Norriswho were given the power of Valkyrie. In order to create the original Power Man, Amora used the deceased Zemo's equipment to giveErik Jostensuperhuman powers when he helped her fool the public by making them believe that the Avengers had gone berserk. When the "mad"Captain Americawas defeated, many people began to believe that Amora and Power Man were actual heroes. Eventually an unknown man attempted to become their agent, which would make them both rich and famous in the process. However, Power Man admitted their wrong-doing when he confessed that they were not true heroes. Amora then noticed something strange in the "agents'" briefcase and forced Power Man to open it, which revealed an active tape recorder. The man revealed himself to be Captain America and entered into a fight with Power Man, though Power Man quickly defeated him.Hawkeye,Quicksilverand Scarlet Witch arrived soon after to continue the battle with Amora. However, Amora, decided to flee after realizing that she had chosen the wrong man to aid her. Power Man clearly lacked a "killer's" instinct. Without the Enchantress' protection, Power Man gave himself up, thus allowing the Avengers to clear their name.Enchantress is soon amused by a man who was able to best her guards and break into her palace. He reveals to her that his only goal is to worship her and that he would give up his birth-right and estate just to do so. Enchantress, grants his wish by turning him into a tree and stating that "in the spring, the wind rustling through thy leaves will sing my glory. In winter thou shalt stand in mute admiration of my incomparable beauty." The Enchantress soon travels to the Fountain of Forever where she learns the location of a dimensional rift that would grant her mystical power that would rivalOdin's. Amora soon travels to the location of the rift, which is forming inside a Disco club in Manhattan. At the disco, the Enchantress encounters the mutant known asDazzlerfor the first time when Amora attempts to take control of the rift by auditioning as a performer for the club, confident that her voice and physical beauty would easily win her the part. This would have been the case had Alison Blaire not auditioned as well. The club manager, though obviously was infatuated with Amora, reluctantly admitted that Dazzler's voice was indeed superior. Enraged at having her plans thwarted and losing to another woman, Amora sought both to claim the mystical energies of the rift and destroy her new found rival by aging Alison to her death during her performance. Unfortunately for the Enchantress, many of the city's super-powered heroes, who saw Dazzler as one of their own, were in the audience in order to lend their support to the young woman. They quickly came to her aid, and in the ensuing battle, Amora was forced to use so much magic that the rift was destabilized. With ultimate power now beyond her grasp, the Enchantress chose to flee, rather than continue to fight a pointless battle.The next time the Enchantress andDazzlerrun into each other is at an airport, Dazzler spotted a tall blonde woman surrounded by a group of admiring men. The woman was of course Amora, who quickly teleports Dazzler back toAsgardwhere they have a brief conversation until theWarriors Threetake them to the Court of the Vizier. Once there, Amora claims to have been disrespected by Dazzler and demands a duel, to which Dazzler readily accepts. Although the duel started out with the two women evenly matched, Dazzler is soon able to gain the upper hand, forcing Amora to cease "playing" and instead, fight more seriously. She soon begins to drain Dazzler's life force and would have succeeded had it not been forOdin's timely arrival. When Odin demands to know what is going on, Amora again claims that Dazzler disrespected her when she won the singing contest back at the club. Odin then decides to see who truly has a better voice and sets up another contest, choosing Amora to go first. Although Amora's siren-song mesmerized all of the men in the room, including Odin, Dazzler still proved to be the better singer when Odin declared her the winner and sent her back to Earth.At a later point, Amora halts a fight betweenHerculesand his half-brotherAresby offering both Gods a drink. It quickly became apparent that this seemingly kind gesture is actually a conspiracy to take control of Hercules planned by Amora and Ares when Hercules, after taking a drink from a cup which was filled with water obtained from the Fountain of Eros, begins to declare his undying love for Amora. With Hercules now under her control, Amora immediately decided to take Hercules to Earth in order to battle and defeat the Avengers. When the two Gods arrive, Hercules quickly takes outQuicksilverwhile the Scarlet Witch sends a help signal toHawkeyeandWasp. However, when the two Avengers arrive, they find that Hercules has already taken downGoliathwith ease and the Scarlet Witch had just lost a magical battle with the Enchantress. Hawkeye then shoots a special arrow in Hercules' face and with the explosion, Hercules comes back to his senses. Realizing what has occurred, he tells Amora to leave, otherwise he would unleash his wrath upon her. Amora quickly departs in order to avoid this consequence. Soon after,Zeusappears and exiles Hercules fromOlympusfor one years time, since he left without permission and chose the love of an Asgardian over his place of birth (although this was told to Zeus by Ares). Hercules quickly opted to become a member of the Avengers right after. Meanwhile, Amora wonders to herself why she did not stay to engage Hercules in battle, and in the end, she comes to the conclusion, that she may possibly be in love with the son of Zeus.Amora later used her magic to allow Barbara Norris to become the Valkyrie and join the team known as the Defenders, although at one point, Amora poses as theValkyrieherself and attempts to fight theDefenderswith her team ofLady Liberators, but was ultimately unsuccessful.Later during theSecret Wars, Amora was placed on the villains side, although she despised the thought of participating in a gladiatorial event for the amusement of a higher being. Because of this, Amora joined forces withThorto simply leave the others behind and return home toAsgard. However Thor was eventual forced leave in order to help his friends against the villains. It was here that Thor was was apparently killed byUltron, and though the Enchantress helped neither side, she was remorseful over the outcome. Amora soon returns to the side of the villains and during the final
