Origin
Hannah Fairmont was a typical receptionist at Memorial Hospital in Manhattan. A mother to her daughter Amanda, Hannah also was engaged to New York paramedic Jake Olson. One night both Jake and Hannah’s lives were flipped upside down when the Asgardian-armored weapon the Destroyer began wrecking havoc in New York City. Although the Avengers were quick to the scene, many innocent civilians were hurt and needed medical attention. Jake would call Hannah and apologize in advance for being late, as he and his fellow paramedic Dimitrius sped to the wounded New Yorkers. Thor would be the last Avenger to arrive and immediately attacked the Destroyer, putting his body on the line to let the Avengers regroup and more innocents to escape the scene. The Destroyer would lethally wound Thor. Jake Olsen, whilst saving and rescuing lives at the scene, also would be mortally wounded. In the realm of Hela, the mysterious Marnot would appear and explain to Thor that he would be revived along with Jake Olsen but the two would now be bonded together. Dimitrius would inform Hannah that Jake had died rescuing people. Hannah would break down in tears at the news of her fiance’s death.
