I got the idea for this thread both by speed running thru some of Thor older histories and by seeing @lazarus4tempest excelent thread about the marvel gods.
My purpose here is to demonstrate how impressive the nine realms are as verse, how strong is the military might of Asgard Jutunheim and etc and what dangers one might find in them.
It will be difficult work but hope it pays off.
Respect Asgard, the golden realm(image to be chosen yet)
Introduction
Asgard is where the Aesir or the Asgardians live. Is a world said to be home to the mos brave race of gods, which might is legendary thruout the cosmos.
Contrary to what much believe, this scan introduces the realm eternal as a "world as varied and vast as earth". Which by itself should make many Thor feats, such as shaking it with his fists against Norvell or Bill or War Thor making a gigantic lighting much more impressive than they first seem. Although some may argue that the size has not been consistent and of course it has been listed as the size of the US too
Asgard´s dimension also has a sun which sunspot theorizes is stronger than ours making his powers, and anyone with sunpowers, stronger
Weapons
Odinsword
One of Asgard ultimate weapons, the Odinsword of it´s more powerful and dangerous weapons. When wielded this weapon can mean the end of all things. but not really
Yimir´s blood
introduced in the avengers run of 2018, issue 4 this item makes character such as the avengers, when sharing 1/2 of the power become somewhat similar to power than the black celestials, which could kill many regular celestials. When they added the power they soloed the black celestials .(which is kind of dumb tbh)
Don´t hold your breath to see this weapon again tho
Gem of infinite suns and the casket of ancient winters
This item introduced in the 1998 run issue 32 (in a very deus ex machina manner) is showed to be a counter to Casket of Ancient winters in fact it menaged to negate all the effects of the latter. Thor says that the item has the power of a "multitude of suns"
The casket of ancient winters
Warlok eye
Asgardian Horn
This powerful and new weapon could summon and control previous iterations of dead gods. While that gods seemed weaker for suposedly not having a soul the sheer number and power that every version of a pantheon that has an ragnarok cycle means it is an very useful item
Armoary
Now to other weapons that hasn´t got all that appearences
enchanted weapons
standard equip
Survival skills
Asgardians have super-human ways of mainten themselves alive.
Life force
An interesting detail of asgardians is that they have proven to be able to store impressive amounts of energy that don´t correlate to how strong their physical bodies are
Materials
I think people istill underestimate how impressive are the buildings of Asgard to withstand not only centuries and milenia but the own gods who are quite prone to battle and war. The materials that gods build stuff has to be very durable, to withstand for centuries. Their conterpart of the greeks is named Adamantina
While not the first thing someone wants to see in a respect thread but it serves its funtion to give context and help quantify/know how impressive some feats are or aren´t i don´t know you
List of notorious individuals
A list of notorious characters that made residence in Asgard and could in theory come to help it.
Elder God

Thor
Bill
Jane Thor
Red Novell
the worthy
War Thor
Milenium
Angela
Vidar (listed at least class 75- limit unknow)
classic Loki
Now, all this characters have strength class 100 or are of similar power level than Thor and as the next don´t benefit from that scaling i will put their class next to their name
class 75 (Ares level)
Tarene- class 65
Skurge- class 50
Heimdall
Brunnhilde
Tyr
Balder
Thunderstrike
Vollstag (at his peak)
Hildegard (?)
35-30 (from spider man level to a bit above)
Sif
Warriors three
most asgard
Sorcerous that compare with classic Strange
Loki
Karnilla
Amora
Odball: Lurking Unknown
An strange resident of Asgard, this monster is used by the Asgardians as a test of character, when he actually was a fear lord
They could throw him like a bomb in some place if they really wanted
Named asgardians vs stablished marvel characters
Because the stories involving this characters are so self contained i feel as most people don´t know just how the gods actually stand against other character of the marvel universe so this it is an important part of my thread.
Many people like to take what is in the handbook as a gospel/ perfect truth when that is not nearly the case and even take stuff out of context. People say for example that spiderman can only lift up to 25/30 tons when that is not nearly the case, the class system is meant to be seen as a scale between the characters and do not take precedence to established feats
ex: a class 25 is in theory ¼ the strength of a class 100 for example, if this doesn't contradict both of their feats
Because of this people like to complain that the gods should be stronger and more powerful. While i agree for some part, i think for the most part they are quite well balanced in the marvel universe with some interesting feats
Without further ado let´s talk of feats shall we?
Needless to say, if you see a named asgardian chances are the character is a badass
Special units: Valkyries
Some of Odin finest warriors and the legendary all female group that serves as asgard pshyncomp
Special units: Thunder guard
Have enchanted iron armor and weapons
Special unit : the worthy
Parasitic beings around Thor level
Warrior´s might
We got to the juicy part. Here we see the stats and power of the regular and a few named Asgardians along with their battle effectiveness and other battle aplicable stuff

Ragnarok
It is ironic how Asgard´s armies best feat is in the battle when they all die, however that much is true. For a race of warriors, we do not get to see the asgardian race actually attacking other people, they mostly are surprised and do not get the chance to prepare much. We almost got to see that in the fear itself, when they almost fought with the intention of destroying the earth, but we do see what they can do when they are fighting for their lives.
The prophecy/retelling in thor #128 says that the whole universe shakes which is further supported by #fantastic four 538 .When it finally happens it weakens the tapestry of reality enough to let Doom out of hell.
The event is so powerful that feeds those who sits above the shadows, which are to gods what gods are to men . They are above even Odin and even he could not fight with them, so it's pretty impressive power
