Vidar's notable mainly in that he's one of the few Norse powers destined to survive Ragnarok. 'Course, some folks'd say he's best known for his unusual (but potent) weapon: his mighty iron shoe. It sounds barmy, but it's true. Any being, no batter how forceful or godlike, is at Vidar's mercy when pinned under his shoe, completely helpless until Vidar chooses to free him. | Vidar's notable mainly in that he's one of the few Norse powers destined to survive Ragnarok.
