Description[]
Also known as the Rainbow Bridge, this is the pathway between the the golden city of Asgard and the rest of the Nine Worlds. It is guarded by Heimdall whose eye can gaze across the cosmos. None may cross the Bifrost without Heimdall's knowledge; none save Loki Laufeyson - the trickster god and foster son of Odin, who has always found ways to avoid Heimdall's watchful eye.
Notes[]
- Also referred to as The Bifrost and The Rainbow Bridge, both of which redirect to this page.
- Bifrost is referenced in the opening line from the Thor cartoon series from the Marvel Super-Heroes line of animated shorts from 1966. The first line is "Across the Rainbow Bridge of Asgard, where the booming heavens roar..."
- Like with any major structure in the Mighty Marvel Universe, Bifrost has been busted & shattered and put back together more times than one can count.
- Far as I know, there is no out house on the Bifrost, so Heimdall either has amazing bladder control, or he really has to hold his stuff in for a really long time. Could explain why he's so grumpy all the time.
