Tyr: Y'know, Hamhock, as the Norse god of war, I was immortal. I was worshipped by dozens of cultures over the course of thousands of years! But I couldn't last one day as a mascara salesman?! I tell ya, they just chew you up and spit you out in this business. Hamhock: You're lucky if they spit you out...

That’s something that always got me. Were the Norse gods really immortal? I mean Baldr was actually killed in the Norse mythology. And the Ragnarok tells how nearly all the gods will die. yr, for instance, is supposed to kill Garm, the guard dog of Hel, and in the process be killed by Garm. Odin will be killed by the wolf Fenrir which will swallow him whole and will in turn be killed by Vioarr who will be avenging his father’s death. Thor will slay the Midgard Serpent only to die from the serpent’s poisonous venom. I mean did the Norse make their gods immortal or did they make them mortal but with long life lines and very difficult to kill (save Baldr that is)? Seems the latter to me.

Hellcat – no, they were not immortal. They could even get old and die from it if they didn’t annually eat of the golden apples. And as you mention get killed as well.
