Leir is a fictional character in the Marvel Universe. He is one of the Celtic gods of Avalon, god of lightning and the spear. For ages, enmity existed between the gods of Avalon and the gods of Asgard. When the Heliopolitan god Seth sought to make war against the other gods, he dispatched foul beasts to both Avalon and Asgard. When Thor pursued one of these beasts, it travelled to Avalon, and he followed. When the Celtic gods saw Thor, they blamed him for the beasts, and Leir battled Thor. Hogun the Grim followed Thor to offer his support, and when one of the beasts appeared, the gods knew that none of them were responsible for the beasts. The three gods battled the beast and drove it off. Leir felt that he owed Thor a debt for helping against the winged monster, and sent a force of Celtic gods to battle the armies of Seth when he attacked Asgard. Leir is based on Lyr in Celtic mythology. Caber often accompanies Leir.
