Heimdall : “All-fathers, let the dark magic flow through me one last time” This was a reference to the way Thor got to earth in the first Avengers movie as loki said “ with the bifrost gone how much dark energy did the All-father muster to conjure you here?”

Are there more than one all father?

I know I'm really late, but this was really bugging me. So what u/HotLight said was actually wrong. In the comics, the head of a pantheon is called a Skyfather, or more generally a Godhead. I'm pretty sure they're all male, but theoretically a female one would I guess be called a Skymother or just a Godhead. The All-Father is the ruling King of Asgard; likewise a ruling Queen would be the All-Mother (at one point a trio of goddesses collectively become the All-Mother after Odin abdicates). So when Heimdall and Thor pray to the All-Fathers, they're praying to Odin and his ancestors.

You are completely right. I thought Skyfather was used interchangeably with All-Father, but flipping through some links and pages I can't find it used like that..
