History
Kurse was originally Algrim the Strong, a Dark Elf serving Malekith the Accursed. He was ordered to kill Thor, but during the fight, Malekith opened a pit that sent both into a river of magma. Thor escaped, but Algrim fell into the magma, barely surviving due to the enchanted armor he was wearing at the time. Algrim remembered little of his life, but swore revenge on Thor.
Such emotions earned the attention of the Beyonder who found Algrim, and healed his wounds, gave him new armor, and vast strength so that it was double the strength of Thor would had UN strength. Kurse was sent to earth by the Beyonder, looking for Thor, because he couldn't remember who tried to kill him. Thor was the last person in his memory, so he assumed that he should get Thor. Kurse walked across the bottom of the ocean, to New York City where he found Beta Ray Bill, who looked like Thor. Kurse basically destroyed Beta Ray from inches of his life. Then Beta Ray Bill transformed back into his normal form, so Kurse had no further intrest in him.
Kurse continued to look for Thor, and found him. He began to beat Thor relentlessly, so Thor put on this Belt of Strength, to even up the fight. The Beyonder was watching the fight, and gave Kurse even greater strength, so that again it greatly surpassed Thors Thor would have Shift X str, with the belt on. Finally the power pack and Beta Ray Bill showed up to help Thor out. All of them together used the power of Thor's and Bill's hammer, to give Kurse a great blast of energy that knocked him unconcious. Thor convinced the Beyonder to send Kurse to Hel to seek revenge on Malekith (and cause trouble for Hela), and he ramapaged through Hel until Hela drove Kurse back to Asgard. There, he found the shape-shifting Malekith in the form of Balder and broke his neck. His vengence satiated, Kurse became peaceful once more eventually becomming a member of the Asgardians.
Still years later long after the Beyonder was killed, it said that Kurse still had his vast strength.
