Karnilla is a fictional character appearing in American comic books published by Marvel Comics.
Karnilla first appeared in Journey into Mystery #107 (Aug 1964), and was created by Stan Lee and Jack Kirby.
Karnilla the Norn Queen is a sorceress and the Queen of Nornheim (one of the Asgardian provinces). She has proved to be an enemy of Asgard, allying with Loki, though she is deeply in love with Balder the Brave.
When she first appeared, Karnilla saved Balder the Brave from assassination by Loki. She says the reason was that like everything that existed in Asgard, with the exception of Mistletoe, she promised to protect Balder. She then lent Loki some magic from the Norn stones.
Later, she was accidentally responsible for granting the Wrecker supernatural power that was intended for Loki. She then allied with Loki, and tricked Sif into animating the Destroyer. However, during this plan she became romantically attracted to Balder. She declared her love for Balder, but was spurned. Heartbroken, she pitted Balder against the Legion of the Lost. Later, she tried to tempt Balder to renounce his service to Odin, and then tried to capture Balder. She then saved Balder and the Warriors Three from the Thermal Man.
Karnilla later cast a spell waking Odin in time to defeat Infinity. She finally forced Balder to renounce Odin and serve her. With Loki, she created Durok the Demolisher to battle Thor. Before too long, she released Balder from her service. She then aided Thor against Loki in return for Sif's aid in her quest for Balder, who had gone missing. With Sif, she was held captive within Xorr the God-Jewel for a time.
