Malekith first appeared inThor#344 (1984) written and drawn by Walt Simonson.
Malekiths unique and dramatic appearance made him stand out amongst the gods and monsters of Thors rogues gallery.
During his first story arc, Malekith kidnapped Lorelei, a siren that put Thor under her love spell.
Obsessed with freeing his love, Thor pursued Malekith to Earth.
Thor managed to defeat Malekith but not before Malekith opened the Casket and plunged Earth into an ice age.
During the battle on Earth in the comics, Malekith used his Dark Elf followers to battle Thor.
His most fervent and imposing warrior was Algrim the Strong.
Malekith, with complete disregard to his loyal follower, plunged Algrim and Thor into lava.
Thor escaped using his hammer but Algrim was horribly burned.
The Beyonder transforms Algrim into Kurse, who battles Thor with his new found cosmic power.
Other than Loki, Malekith will be the only wielder of magic that has appeared in a Marvel film.
