Skurge and Amora were banished by Odin to a barren nether world. However Odin used his Scepter of Strength to bring the Hulk back to life. Enraged, Amora turned her magic against the Hulk and killed him. The Hulk got involved in the fight, and kept the trolls at bay by sealing them inside of a rocky cavern. Amora called together a massive army of Rock Trolls and led them on a quest to overtake Asgard. Amora grew bored watching the two combatants fight one another and teleported herself and Skurge to a safe distance. The Hulk managed to stagger his foe with one crushing blow to the jaw. Skurge struck him with his Bloodaxe, but this proved ineffective against the Hulk. When Banner revived, he turned into the Hulk and fought Skurge. Skurge along with Amora captured Bruce Banner when he was transported to Asgard. Skurge battled the Olympian hero Hercules in another dimension he had transported them to with his axe, but was beaten and thrown at a giant, Amora had created to take down the Scarlet Witch. He attacked the Asian sub-continent with an army of Trolls to retrieve the natural diamond deposits.
Skurge and Amora joined the Mandarin's attempt to conquer the world. Meanwhile, the remaining members were defeated by the Avengers after Thor transported them to another dimension so their battle would not destroy the city of New York. Blinded by the glare from his opponent's shield, Zemo fired his death ray wildly and died in the ensuing rockslide.

Finally, Zemo had his Asgardian allies free Black Knight and The Melter from jail (though Radioactive Man had been deported to his native China.) While his Masters battled the Avengers, Zemo had captured Rick Jones, then acting as Captain America's partner. Their scheme to turn Thor against the other Avengers failed, as did their plan to use Wonder Man as a pawn to try and gain their trust.
Together they recruited Radioactive Man, Melter, and Black Knight. Skurge, under orders from Amora, joined Baron Zemo's Masters of Evil. Balder managed to hold his own, however, it's not until the timely arrival of Thor do the two villains released Jane and flee the scene. Balder the Brave arrived atop the Baxter Building, and quickly found and challenged the villainous pair. A small group of local citizens briefly tried to help her, but they were subdued by a sleeping spell from the Enchantress. He sent them to Midgard to attack Jane Foster. In the following years, the Enchantress and Skurge also allied themselves with Loki. Thor saved Foster and defeated both the Enchantress and Executioner. In his first encounter with Thor after he gained his human identity of Don Blake, Enchantress attempted unsuccessfully to seduce Blake, and then ordered the Executioner to dispose of Jane Foster, the mortal woman Thor then loved. But while the Executioner was as so infatuated with the Enchantress that he would do anything for her, she continually withheld her favors from him to keep him in thrall. He came to Asgard, there he was seduced by Amora the Enchantress into assisting her in many of her schemes over the years. Later he became a warrior, gaining the name Executioner after fighting in a war against the Storm Giants.
He was born the illegitimate son of a Storm Giant and an Asgardian from the realm of Skornheim. Skurge the Executioner was one of Asgard's greatest warriors.
