Once Amora the Enchantress set her sights on Heimdall as a potential lover, Skurge sought to ease the wounds of his heart in battle, joining Thor, Balder, and the Einherjar on a rescue mission into Niflheim.

Despite initial misgivings, Thor permitted Skurge to accompany the group. He soon vanishes after Amora appears to him, saying that Heimdall had slain her. This was not Amora, but Mordonna, a shape-shifting sorceress in the employ of Hela. This disguise was only broken when Skurge managed to trust Balder more then the desires of his own heart. Hela whisks Mordonna away before Skurge could gain revenge.

Naglfar, the ship of the dead, was nearing ready to sail, and Hela promised Skurge a place of honor beside her on it at the battle of Ragnarok. In a rage at being manipulated, Skurge destroys the ship, forestalling the end of days. The group was pursued out of Hel and at the bridge Gjallerbru Thor swore to hold the bridge as long as he could that the souls of the mortals could reach freedom. But then Skurge struck down Thor from behind and amidst cries of traitor, begged Balder to hear him speak. Hoping to enact vengeance upon those who mocked him, and to do what was right in the end, he would stay behind. He asked Balder to promise that Thor and he would drink to the memory of Skurge. Balder consented to Skurge's wish, and he, the Einherjar and the mortal souls depart Hel, taking the unconscious Thor with them. In Norse mythology, Naglfar was a ship made entirely from the nails of the dead. ...

Skurge remained alone at Gjallerbru, armed with automatic rifles the Einherjar had brought from Earth. Though the armies of Hel marched upon the bridge, none crossed past where Skurge stood. As he fought down demon after demon, his stand impressed Hela herself, who would later sometimes tell of Skurge; "He stood alone at Gjallerbru. And that answer is enough."
