Fictional character biography

Osiris is a member of the Heliopolitan race of gods, and resides in Celestial Heliopolis. He is the husband of Isis, brother of Seth, and father of Horus and Anubis. His parents are Geb and Nut. He is the Egyptian god of the dead.

Osiris was defeated in ancient times by Seth. With Horus and Isis, he was imprisoned in a pyramid for three thousand years by Seth. They were finally freed in modern times, where they encountered Thor and Odin. Osiris participated in the Ceremony of Rebirth which reincarnated Odin as Atum-Re. Briefly Thor battled Horus before realizing the truth. Osiris, Horus, and Isis aided Thor in defeating Seth.[1]

Osiris and Isis were later seen at the mercy of Seth's army, and imprisoned in Heliopolis by Seth. Osiris was rescued from Seth and the Devourer by Thor and the Thing.[2]

Osiris later granted power to Thor to help resurrect the Asgardian gods.[3] Osiris's powers were later stolen by Seth, and he regained his powers upon Seth's defeat.[4]
