Heimdall
This is an interesting god conceptually. He is the watchman of the gods in Norse mythology, and he serves as the keeper of the Bifrost (rainbow bridge) at the entrance to Asgard.
Here is a somewhat older rendering from Marvel Comics …
… and a more recent one.
I have lauded the Disney Marvel universe in my series, The Modern Pantheon (see black strip at left), and I mentioned then that I am intrigued to see how they develop his character further (perhaps in Thor: Ragnarok?). He is interpreted interestingly by Idris Elba, as can be seen in Thor, Thor: The Dark World, and (briefly) Avengers: Age of Ultron.

He is a fascinating character, Robert. Excellent.

The Movie version outshines all others. The Movie put a “face” on him.

I agree. I also liked the choice of Idris Elba to play him. The man can act, and his performance was impressive.
