Gods exist in a funny position in worlds full of superheroes, all-powerful aliens, and reality-warping weapons. The Marvel Universe certainly has its fair share of gods, and many of them like to interfere in the lives and adventures of the superheroes that exist in Marvel Comics.
That said, some gods like to exist in hiding and don’t tend to interfere with the conflicts of mortals unless they absolutely must. There is power in secrecy, and there is even more power if you can manipulate events on a grand scale without being known. That’s why some gods in Marvel Comics like to remain a secret until the right time.

Odin and Freyja conceived Laussa in the space between realms, which is a dimension where Surtur has dominion. This allowed Surtur’s influence to alter Laussa.
