Group Membership: Trolls
of Asgard

Borgeddon

Aliases: Olik the Widow Maker
Base of Operations: Subterranean realm (domain of
the Trolls) in the landmass of Asgard, Asgard dimension;
at least formerly Castle Grimlock, which was
apparently above ground but connected to the tunnels below
First Appearance: Warlock and the Infinity Watch#24 (January, 1994)
Powers/Abilities: Olik is immensely strong,
presumably able to lift somewhere between 25-95 tons (presumably closer
to the higher end, given he was the Troll warrior of choice in
gladiatorial combat) with thick, leathery skin and superhuman durability
to allow him to
withstand blows from others of comparable strength.
His vision likely extends into the
infra-red range, and he mostly likely has enhanced nocturnal and/or
darkness vision, allowing him to see well in subterranean tunnels.
He is presumably immune (or at least
resistant to) terrestrial disease and likely has superhuman healing.
Although an experienced warrior, he
tends to depend on his might to overpower a foe, and he can be
outmaneuvered by an agile and/or swift opponent. He has no
defense against the energies of the Infinity Soul Gem (now known as the
Soul Stone).
He sometimes wears a large and thick armored chest plate.
He is belligerent and easily angered.
History:
(Warlock and the Infinity Watch#24 (fb) - BTS) - Olik is the older brother of the more famous Rock Troll Ulik, which would also make him the brother of Horth and Ulicia.
He regular and favored participant in trial by combat in Castle Grimlock, he was away from the castle for an extended period of time, which only made him more favored.
(Warlock and the Infinity
Watch#25 (fb) - BTS) - While seeking to meet with Odin to do with the
war-maddened Thor, Adam Warlock and the Infinity Watch (Drax, Gamora,
Maxam, Moondragon, & Pip), alongside the Silver Surfer and Dr.
Strange, were captured by Asgardian rock trolls who brought them to
Castle Grimlock, where they were bound in Valkisack Vines, the
fragrance of which stole their wills, rendering them barely unconscious
and unable to escape their bonds. 
(Warlock and the Infinity
Watch#25 (fb) - BTS) - Geirrodur planned to sacrifice the lot to
Borgeddon, an immense serpent creature the trolls worshipped, but his
witch identified Pip as a troll, noting that -- even though he was not
an Asgardian troll, he still had the right to trial by combat: If he
won, he would go free, although his associates would still be
sacrificed to Borgeddon regardless.
(Warlock and the Infinity Watch#25 (fb)) - Allowed to choose a proxy, Pip chose Adam Warlock, and the trolls chose Olik, who greeted Warlock with "I will grind your bones between my teeth, hog slop!"
Another troll advised Warlock that only physical
strength and martial prowess could be used, but no weapon or special
powers (such as Warlock's karmic staff or Soul Gem) could be used or
they would slice the throat of Moondragon (who remained incapacitated
by the Valkisack Vine garland around her neck. 
As soon as the troll referee gave the OK, Olik
approached Warlock from behind, only to be knocked off his feet by a
kick from Warlock. Olik commended Warlock, noting that he liked dealing
with a man who didn't get bogged down in unimportant ceremony and a
warrior who knew what he wanted and went for it.
Olik charged Warlock, who dodged, mocking Olik's
aim and then kneeing him in the chin and slamming an elbow into the
back of his head. Olik occasionally landed a blow against Warlock while
repeatedly proclaiming his power and prowess and warning Warlock of his
impending demise, but Warlock dodged most of Olik's assaults and
continued to taunt the troll.
The other trolls cheered Olik, urging him to kill Warlock, but he remained frustrated and progressively more enraged. Eventually, Warlock revealed that he had -- vis his Soul Gem communication linkage -- given Pip a number of task to facilitate their escape. When he determined that Pip needed extra time to deal with a dungeon guard, Warlock allowed Olik to batter him around, rolling with the punches, after which he used the Soul Gem to render Olik unconscious.
Before Geirrodur's agent could slay Moondragon,
Pip teleported and bashed him with a mace, after which the rest of his
allies -- whom he had already liberated from the Valkisack garlands --
smashed up from the dungeon into the arena, rescued Moondragon and Pip
and then escaped.

As Ulik is over a millennium old, Olik is even older.
