Fenris[1] (also known as Fenrir or Fenrer) is the harbinger of Ragnarok, the end of the world.

History[]

According to Norse mythology, Fenris' sole purpose is preparing the way for his master Surt, who in turns brings about the destruction of the world.[2] To do so, he must enslave three human souls to be his vanguards in order to fulfill the apocalyptic prophecy. [3] One will be the Vanguard of the Air, one for the Vanguard of the Sea, and one for the Vanguard of the Land. Once this is accomplished, then there will be no way to stop the arrival of Surt. [4] [5]

However, the original Ghostbusters and Slimer captured Surt years ago.[6] For unknown reasons, Fenris surfaced in 1997 from a park lake. He appeared at the Museum of Natural History and was challenged by the Extreme Ghostbusters. Near the "Dinosaurs of the Jurassic" exhibit, they trapped Fenris but he managed to sabotage the Trap with his frost breath. The team quickly delivered the trap to the Containment Unit but Fenris escaped before he could be transferred.

Fenris attacked Egon Spengler which turned him into the Vanguard of the Air then Garrett Miller, into the Vanguard of the Sea, and Roland Jackson, into the Vanguard of the Land. Just as Surt was about to escape from the Containment Unit, Kylie Griffin wrangled Fenris with her Proton Pistol and shoved him into Surt. Since Fenris represented ice and Surt represented fire, the collision of opposites was enough to force the two entities behind the inner hatch down into the containment universe.[7] The Containment Unit was then resealed.

Description[]

Fenris resembles a large, wolf-like beast.

Personality[]

He has a very aggressive disposition.

Powers and Abilities[]

Fenris has cryokinesis, the ability to freeze his victims into ice or, as part of the Ragnarok prophecy, enslave three humans and turn them into the three creatures of the apocalypse. Like any other spirit, he has the ability to phase through walls, flight without the assistance of wings, and appears to be physically strong.
