The Warriors Three are a group of fictional characters who served as supporting cast members in Thor, published by Marvel Comics. The Warriors Three is made up of the Asgardians Hogun, Fandral, and Volstagg. Though the characters are gods of Asgard, they are original creations of Marvel Comics and not based on characters from Norse mythology.
Hogun is a very serious warrior with a largely pessimistic view of the world. He is notorious among his companions for never smiling and often predicting unfavorable outcomes to their situations, thus earning him the nickname Hogun the Grim. This sometimes leads to light-hearted disputes between him and the more cheerful natured Fandral. He is primarily characterized by his brusque, taciturn, and often short-tempered demeanor. He is the brooding pessimist of the group, as opposed to Volstagg's irrepressible good humor and Fandral's brash heroism. He is a fierce and unrelenting warrior, a collector of weaponry and often the voice of reason for the Warriors Three.
Hogun is an excellent overall battlefield warrior, a superb hand-to-hand combatant and horseman. He is highly proficient in the use of all Asgardian weapons, and is a master of bludgeoning weapons, especially the mace. He has also demonstrated skill in the area of battlefield medicine and healing arts, though he makes no claim of being a healer of any real proficiency.
Fandral is an irrepressible swashbuckler who thinks quite highly of himself, hence the nickname "Fandral the Dashing". His bravery and optimism often puts the group in highly disadvantageous positions. Fandral considers himself the consummate ladies' man and is often depicted with a bevy of young ladies. Despite these flaws, he possesses an excessively noble spirit and will do the right thing without thought to his personal safety or prosperity. He is extremely loyal to his friends and fearful for his enemies, and displays politeness even on the battlefield.
Fandral is a master swordsman, and an excellent overall battlefield warrior. He is highly proficient in the use of all edged weapons, and his superhuman dexterity, speed, and agility are all significantly greater than the average Asgardian male. Thor himself refers to Fandral as "the best of us with the blade". Like all Asgardians, Fandral's bone, skin and muscle are roughly 3 times denser than a typical human, giving him an extremely high resistance to injury and superhuman strength.
Volstagg the Voluminous is a brave warrior and a loyal friend, courageous and proud. He's always tormented by an insatiable appetite, which often gives other people the wrong idea about him: despite his love for food, in fact, Volstagg is not a superficial man, but a good-hearted spirit. He has a tendency to vainglory, as he demonstrates during the banquet after the final battle with Loki and The Destroyer, during which he claims that even falling to the ground was a expedient.
Despite his obesity, Volstagg is a capable warrior, who can easily stand the confrontation with his fellows Hogun and Fandral. Like other Asgardians, he possesses superhuman physical attributes such as strength, stamina, speed and reflexes. In battle, he uses a large axe, which fits well to his great physical strength, which is superior to that of most Asgardian males. Volstagg's battle prowess is somewhat limited by his advanced age and tremendous girth. However, Volstagg is still capable of using his sheer bulk to his advantage in combat situations. He can consume vast quantities of food and drink.
