who's your All-Daddy?
From his prominent Freyr-like girthy-tipped & gift-wrapped sword placement as painted by DC/Marvel artist Al Barrionuevo, the answer would be your All-Father Odin.
Visual/verbal puns aside, if we examine the broad sexual spreadsheet of Odin, it seems that every by-blow he has turns out to be a divinity that appears to be a necessary product that fulfills a universal function. His sons Thor, Víðarr, Váli, & Bragi all play crucial roles in the Norse Lore, so it would seem that Odin's extramarital propensities only strengthen his & our position in the scheme of things.
[oil, 2016 CE. And thanks to my workie, pundit, & comics superfan Zach Gotschalk for making the off-handed comment that inspired this NorsePlay entry. (Side endorsement: Zach is an accomplished artist who explores architectural neo-futurism themes. It's like Jack Kirby's Asgarditecture meets Syd Mead's Tron & Blade Runner setting concept drawings. Hit him up here for some seriously visionary wall power.)]
Guillermo Maytorena IV knew there was something special in the Norse Lore when he picked up a copy of the d'Aulaires' Norse Gods and Giants at age seven. Since then he's been fascinated by the truthful potency of Norse Mythology, passionately read & studied, embraced Ásatrú, launched the Map of Midgard project, and spearheaded the neologism/brand NorsePlay.
