The last thing that Marvel fans would expect is for a Lord of the Rings character to appear in an Avengers story, but, in the insane universe of comics, that is precisely exact thing occurred. Not just Marvel presented a reprobate that is straight out of a Tolkien book, yet this character likewise cleaned the floor with the strong Avengers.
During the 1980s, the dream class was turning out to be progressively famous, as demonstrated by the progress of the Dungeons and Dragons pretending game and of films like Conan the Barbarian and Excalibur. Comics were, obviously, no exemption. At the point when Avengers essayist and Marvel's Editor-in-Chief Jim Shooter expected to make another bad guy for the Earth's Mightiest Heroes, then, at that point, he took a gander at dream for motivation, and found what he really wanted in a person from J. R. R. Tolkien's The Silmarillion, the "prequel" to the renowned Lord of the Rings set of three. Lùthien was the most gorgeous Elf lady who at any point lived. She experienced passionate feelings for a human, Beren, and she surrendered her everlasting status to go through a human time on earth with him, living in a little, isolated safe house.
In Avengers vol. 1 #212, by Jim Shooter, Alan Kupperberg, and Ben Sean, two very much like characters to Beren and Lùthien are presented: the pleased champion Gorn and his adored, Linnea, additionally called Elfqueen. Linnea has strong magic, which she used to get away from oppression in Europe and escape to Virginia, where she made a secret dale where she and Gorn resided segregated for 10,000 years. The fighter, notwithstanding, has become anxious, and he drives Linnea away from the wellbeing of their shelter to dare to Washington. In the city, Gorn is killed by cops, which drives Linnea into a free for all. At the point when the Avengers show up on the spot, she effectively deals with all the group, including forces to be reckoned with like Thor and Iron Man, utilizing her magic. Eventually, Captain America can stop what is going on, and the powerful Elf-Queen gets back to her withdrawal, gone forever in Marvel Comics.

In the story, Gorn and Linnea are really utilized as a reflection of Hank Pym and Janet van Dyne (Wasp). Hank was at the time in his Yellowjacket persona, suffering from suspicion and discouragement, which made him oppressive towards Jan. Gorn likewise has rough and oppressive way of behaving towards Linnea, and he strikes her, which makes her leave him (and prompts his passing). The accompanying issue of Avengers contains the notorious scene where Hank slaps Janet, so all that occurs in this story is an unfavorable hinting of the fall of Hank Pym and the finish of his marriage. It's a piece odd that two dream roused characters were utilized for this reason, and, surprisingly, more that the Elfqueen was strong to the point that she could overcome every one of the Avengers effortlessly however at no point ever showed up in the future.
The Avengers have a not insignificant rundown of important enemies, from the time-traveling warlord Kang the Conqueror to the indestructible destructive A.I. Ultron. Not very many perusers recall the Elfqueen, Linnea, regardless of her fantastic powers. Toward the finish of the story, Thor suggests that she could be a freak, so it would be exceptionally fascinating to see her show up in a X-Men story later on. Until further notice, this baffling Lord of the Rings-propelled character stays one of only a handful of exceptional miscreants who totally embarrassed the Avengers.
