Appearances
Thor: Ragnarok
Two years after the war against Ultron, Thor's quest to find the Infinity Stones has been unsuccessful, and he has been captured and imprisoned by Surtur, who intends to fulfill the Norse apocalyptic prophecy of Ragnarok, by using the Eternal Flame beneath it to grow "as tall as a mountain" and bring forth the end of Asgard. He also informs Thor that Odin is no longer on Asgard, and that it will make the throne defenseless. However, Thor summons his hammer and overpowers Surtur, which makes him think he's prevented Ragnarok.
Surtur being attacked by Hulk.
During the attack of the Revengers (led by Thor, Loki, Valkyrie, and Hulk) against Hela, Loki went inside of Odin's vault and got Surtur's crown. He later burned it on fire and was summoned into Surtur. Hela later attacked him until Asgard was destroyed. He retaliated and smashed her into oblivion, being consumed by the explosion of Asgard's foundation.
What If...?
Season one
Surtur appears in the episode "What If... Thor Were an Only Child?". In a universe where Loki was never adopted, Surtur joins in on Thor's party on Earth. Surtur is shown flirting with the Statue of Liberty, but the heat from his body accidentally melts the torch arm off, so he awkwardly runs off. He is also seen trying to limbo underneath some power cables, but his crown accidentally gets caught in them, knocking the power out across the Western Seaboard. When Thor tells everyone Frigga is coming, Surtur is seen repairing the Statue of Liberty by welding its arm back on.
Season two
Another Surtur appears in "What if... Kahhori Reshaped the World?", in a similar fate, Surtur destroyed Asgard before Odin get a chance to stop the prophecy. After the destruction, the Tesseract fell to the lake in Akwesasne, creating a portal to another world.
The third Surtur appears in "What if... Strange Supreme Intervened?".
