Odin-Force

Odin-Force is the power that enables Odin to be the stongest of the Asgardian Gods. Pictured is the Odin-Force taking the form of a fallen Asgardian boy. This power is near infinite and seems to allow Odin and later Thor to become almost invincible, and seems to allow them to rival the powers of the strongest beings in the universe but the limits of it's power are unknown.
