An Asgardian Goddess!

Hulka and La Encantadora face off:



"Hey, you're strong!"
"I am an Asgardian Goddess!  I could squash you like a worm!  But physical contact with such creatures disgusts me!"

"Why should a mistress of witchcraft sully her hands?"


Notes:
aplastar is a common verb in the Spanish Marvel Universe.  (eg "¡Hulk aplasta!")

!El contacto físico con tales triantures, me repugna! is an example of the subject of a gustar-like verb (in this case, repugnar) preceding the verb.  This sort of topicalization is possible.

mano, despite ending in -o, is feminine (because it was feminine in Latin (!))
