Quotes by Brunnhilde (Earth-616)Edit

A man's strength is not measured by the length of his blade ... but by the boldness of his heart.

--Brunnhilde (Earth-616)

... I am a wholly differnt persona created to lay back man's foolish notion of his superiority to woman!

No thing of Asgard should rain destruction on the world of man.

--Brunnhilde (Earth-616)

Fear can be a powerful tool... but it is fleeting at best. Sooner or later, its hold over mankind will break. And once the shadows are exposed by the light, once the true nature of the darkness is revealed, it can never hold the same power. And in that moment, the shadow itself can know fear. I have to wonder, now that you feel the tide shifting beneath you... tell me, Sin -- are you afraid?

--Brunnhilde (Earth-616)

I am the chooser of the slain. For countless centuries it has been my duty to carry brave and honorable soldiers to their reward in Valhalla. And I'm tired.

--Brunnhilde (Earth-616)

This is what Lord Odin always intended for me. Once I've collected the hammers, I'll make my final journey to Valhalla. This place will cease to exist...at least in every way that matters...and the Serpent's weapons will vanish, too.

--Brunnhilde (Earth-616)

Dragonfang strikes swiftly and deep. You might be wise to surrender.

--Brunnhilde (Earth-616)

I've defended and avenged... fought the incredible and the mighty... and carried the worthy to their great reward... I am Valkyrior... Brunnhilde, shield maiden of Asgard... I am Valkyrie!

--Brunnhilde (Earth-616)

Conversations with Brunnhilde (Earth-616)Edit

Valkyrie

Mr. Cage -- STOP! Another blow could kill him!

Luke Cage

Now ain't that a coincidence? That's just what I was hopin'! A crud like him doesn't deserve to live

— Defenders #25

Thing ...

Ya know what I hate? I know... I know... Easy answer might be that I hate myself. Nah. That ain't it. Way I feel right now...after everything I did...everyone I hurt... I don't think enough of myself to hate. When I held that hammer...when it had ahold of me...I couldn't stop myself. And I still remember every ugly thing the Serpent's avatar -- Angrir -- whispered in my head. But now...more'n anything...I hate the idea of hurting my friends.

Valkyrie

You know...for many years I was used against my will...used for evil. But guilt can be a cruel master, too, if you let it. I'd never suggest that you forget the things you've done. But rather than letting your shame crush you, I'd suggest you work to set things right.

— Fear Itself: The Fearless #5

Storm

Surrender, Valkyrie, and we can talk this out peacefully. But -- I warn you -- if youd o not stop this madness, you will face the full fury of a goddess as I bring you down.

Valkyrie

You wouldn't be the first 'goddess' I've ever battled Storm. Try me.

— Fear Itself: The Fearless #8

Black Widow

We didn't want this. If you were needed her, Rogers would have given you the orders. He was afraid you'd finally start interfering in foreign affairs. That's not your job.

Valkyrie

It's ours. That's what the Secret Avengers are for.

— Hulk Vol 2 #42

Odin

You would die to ensure this man's soul carried on?

Brunhilde

I would.

Odin

And you would do this for your countrymen as well?

Brunhilde

This one, I love. But -- yes. All good men who die in battle deserve this much.

Odin

Then I would give you another choice, an offer, a -- position of sorts. When they perish in the fields of war, you will carry the souls of deserving warriors to a place called Valhalla -- where they shall know everlasting peace. You will be their protector, and their guide, when they leave the mortal realm. ... But you will be more, as well. You will be a symbol. Men will commit great acts of bravery and sacrifice, for just the hope of glimpsing your face. You will inspire them. And I give you my word, girl, if you do this, one day, many ages from now, when your service is finished -- you will join your last love there, in paradise. This is your calling, Brunhilde of Wrlstead Arms, if you would have it -- you will be my Valkyrie.

What means 'combat separation'?
