He was among the first Asgardian creatures to be created and spawned the Asgardian gods. The next story depicts an early battle with and subsequent imprisonment by being lured into a trap and imprisoned in a ring of magical fire by Odin, King of the Norse gods while attempting to bring eternal winter to Asgard with the other giants.〔''Journey Into Mystery'' #97 - 98 (Oct. - Nov. 1963)〕 Ymir is mentioned in ''Savage Tales'' in a story set in the prehistoric Hyborian Age.
