The Destroyer was a magical, consciousless entity built by Odin to defend the Asgardian vaults. It will complete any mission given to it without question, regardless of how long the mission or who gets in its way. Its primary weapon are fiery beams of energy emitted from its face, but it is also superhumanly strong and nearly invulnerable to damage. The Destroyer was an emotionless, speechless, order-driven, metal automoton made by Asgardian magic.
Thor
On the day of Thor's coronation, three Frost Giants sneaked into Asgard's weapons vaults and took the Casket of Ancient Winters. Odin sensed this and had the Destroyer emerge from its resting place to attack the intruders. One of them attempted to use the Casket on the Destroyer, but the armor vaporized all three Frost Giants before returning to its resting place. Some time later, when Thor was banished due to his actions on Jotunheim, Loki sent the Destroyer to Earth to destroy his brother and everything else that got in the way. The Destroyer passed through the Bifrost Bridge and landed in New Mexico, Earth. Once there it encountered agent Phil Coulson and a team of SHIELD agents but quickly destroyed their cars before moving onto the small town.

Fury's Big Week
The Destroyer was collected by S.H.I.E.L.D. after Thor defeated it and is kept in the S.H.I.E.L.D. Headquarters. A year later, scientists from SHIELD managed to reactivate the energy of the Destroyer. After that, Phil Coulson ordered them to disband, and it turned into weapons.
The Avengers
During Loki's escape from his prison on the S.H.I.E.L.D Helicarrier, Phil Coulson attacked the Asgardian with a gun made from the Destroyer's body, actually sending the god of mischief flying through a wall on his second attempt, proving its effectiveness.
Abilities
While not as powerful as the comic version, despite this, the Destroyer is one of the most powerful non-living weapons in the MCU. The Destroyer operates at the behest of whomever holds Gungnir, the Asgardian ruler's spear, and can therefore be used for good or for evil depending on who sits on the throne. It can also therefore be stopped by an attack on its vulnerable master. The Destroyer was programmed solely for battle and destruction.
- Advanced Strength : The Destroyer's large size and construction gives it a formidable physical power, enough to bat away a car hurled at it with apparent ease and swat Thor back several feet with one hit
- Advanced Durability : The Destroyer was constructed of alien materials that makes it highly resistant to damage. Even when pierced by an Asgardian lance it was able to continue functioning and remove it from its body and showed no signs of damage from it.
- Energy Blast : The Destroyer contains Odinforce that can be unleashed through an aperture in its head. When it does this, part of the facial structure retracts downward into the lower face and the energy discharge lances out the orange-white beam. The touch of this beam was enough to blast a car to pieces or vaporize a living being. At full power, it nearly devastated half of a town.
- Retrograde Positioning : The Destroyer is able to move its armor pieces so that it faces the opposite way without turning around; its back side becomes its front side and vice versa. This was used when Lady Sif drove a lance through its back and the Destroyer positions itself to blast her.
Coulson's Revenge
Coulson's Revenge is a prototype weapon used by Phil Coulson made from the Destroyer.
The Avengers
After Loki escaped from his cell and trapped Thor in his place, Phil Coulson arrived on the scene and threatened Loki with the Revenge, a weapon designed from a disassembled Destroyer, telling him to step away from the controls. Loki stabbed Phil through trickery. Dying on the ground, Phil shot Loki with the Revenge with one shot and realised what this gun does.
Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D.
During S.H.I.E.L.D.'s assault on the Cybertek facility where the Deathlok Soldiers were planned to be produced, Phil faced off against John Garrett, now super-powered thanks to GH.325, the Centipede Serum and his previous Project Deathlok implants. Nick Fury arrived to assist, and delivered Coulson's Revenge to Phil who used it against the Centipede Soldiers that were protecting John Garrett.
