Marvel's What If? 207 What if Hela Found The Ten Rings? Synopsis

Executive Produced by: Bryan Andrews, A.C. Bradley, Brad Winderbaum with Kevin Feige

Head Writer: A.C. Bradley

Episode Written by: Matthew Chauncey

Episode Directed By: Bryan Andrews

Growing weary of Hela's bloodlust in the Nine Realms, Odin banishes her to Earth and strips her powers by destroying Mjolnir and placing an enchantment on her crown. Hela lands in medieval China and is confronted by the armies of Xu Wenwu.

She attempts to retrieve the crown but fails. Wenwu keeps Hela alive and tries to recruit her to his army, but she escapes after failing to steal his Ten Rings. She is guided by a Hundun to the realm of Ta Lo, where she convinces their leader, Jiayi, to let her join their cause. Jiayi teaches Hela martial arts after she recognizes her true desire for freedom from control.

After Heimdall reports his failure to locate Hela, Odin visits Earth to battle Wenwu in retaliation. Hela joins Wenwu in fighting against Odin, ultimately winning and regaining her worthiness to wield her crown.

Odin recognizes Hela's growth and submits Asgard's throne to her. Hela unites the armies of Asgard and Wenwu's Ten Rings organization and embarks on a journey to ensure freedom across the Nine Realms and beyond, coming to the rescue of Gamora's people as Thanos attacks them.
