Character Spotlight: Loki

Loki, Prince of Asgard, Odinson, the rightful King of Jotunheim, and God of Mischief, has snuck his way into MARVEL SNAP!!

Loki’s lust for power drives him to mischievous schemes and wreaking havoc across the realms!

Loki Laufeyson was the biological son of Laufey, King of the Frost Giants, but abandoned and left to die shortly after his birth. Following a war between the Frost Giants and Asgardians, Loki was found by Odin, who took him in as his own son. Odin and Frigga’s biological son Thor and Loki were raised together as Asgardian Princes.

Throughout their formative years, Loki was always the mischievous one, while Thor was a steadfast do-gooder and a prime candidate to lead Asgard. Loki suffered from feelings of isolation and unequal treatment from his adoptive father Odin. Always resentful of living in his brother Thor’s shadow, Loki studied magical arts and earned the “God of Mischief” title, while his brother pursued physical prowess. Believing himself to be the rightful King of Asgard, Loki schemes to undermine the God of Thunder’s ascension to the throne, desperate for his father’s approval and to be seen as an equal to Thor.

Despite his deceptive, evil nature, and many attempts to steal the claim to the throne from his brother, Loki has gone through several amending phases with Thor, even working closely together at times. For instance, following the death of their mother Frigga, the two brothers united to seek revenge. Loki also revealed compassion for Thor when faced with the threat of his brother’s death, which led to his decision to hand the Tesseract over to Thanos.

Loki holds the title of most powerful sorcerer in all of ASGARD, with uncanny magical abilities including astral projection, shape-shifting, hypnosis, levitation, conjuration, and teleportation.
