'''Loki Laufeyson''' is a character appearing in [[American comic book]]s published by [[Marvel Comics]]. Created by writer [[Stan Lee]], scripter [[Larry Lieber]], and penciller [[Jack Kirby]], he is based on the [[Norse mythology|Norse mythological]] deity [[Loki|of the same name]]. Although a version of Loki debuted in ''[[Venus (comic book)|Venus]]'' #6 (August 1949), his characterization as the adoptive brother and nemesis of the superhero [[Thor (Marvel Comics)|Thor]] was introduced with the version that debuted in ''[[Journey into Mystery]]'' #85 (October 1962), which has persisted to the modern age.<ref>{{Cite web |last=Connolly |first=Spencer |date=2022-11-30 |title=Loki's First Appearance Proves He's Always Been More than a Thor Villain |url=https://screenrant.com/loki-marvel-comics-debut-not-thor-villain-mcu/ |access-date=2023-02-12 |website=[[Screen Rant]] |language=en}}</ref><ref>{{Cite web |title=Back Issues: How Loki, the Frost Giant Prince, Became the God of Mischief |url=https://comicbook.com/marvel/news/cram-loki-back-issues-frost-giant-prince-god-of-mischief/ |access-date=2023-02-12 |website=Marvel |date=June 4, 2021 |language=en}}</ref>
 
In his comic book appearances, Loki is depicted as the [[Asgard (comics)|Asgardian]] God of Mischief, a cunning [[trickster]], and a master of Asgardian magic and sorcery. After learning of his true origin as a [[Giants (Marvel Comics)|Frost Giant]] from Jotunheim, Loki grows jealous of Thor and frequently plots to take the throne of Asgard for himself. His schemes of conquest ultimately reach Earth and inadvertently lead to the formation of the [[Avengers (comics)|Avengers]]. While usually portrayed as a [[supervillain]], Loki has also been an [[antihero]] at times, working with heroes if their goals align and if it benefits him.

==Fictional character biography==
[[File:Loki Laufeyson Earth 616.jpg|left|thumb|upright|Cover art of ''Thor'' #64 (July 2003) by [[Ben Lai]]]]
Many years ago, when Bor, ruler of Asgard, was battling [[Giants (Marvel Comics)|frost giants]], he followed a wounded giant to a powerful sorcerer that was waiting for him. The sorcerer caught him unaware, turning Bor into snow. Bor's son, [[Odin (Marvel Comics)|Odin]], found his father as he was blowing away; Bor begged Odin to find a sorcerer to free him, but Odin made no attempt to save his father. Bor cursed Odin saying that he would take in the son of a fallen king and raise it as his own. Not a week later, Odin himself led the [[Asgard (comics)|Asgardians]] into battle against the Frost Giants and killed [[Laufey (comics)|Laufey]], who was the King, in personal combat. After slaying Laufey, Odin found a small Asgardian-sized child hidden within the primary stronghold of the Frost Giants. The child was Loki; Laufey having kept him hidden from the Frost Giant people due to his shame over his son's small size. Odin took the child, out of a combination of pity, to appease the memory of his father, and because he was the child of a worthy adversary slain in honorable combat, and raised as his own alongside his biological son [[Thor (Marvel Comics)|Thor]].<ref>''Thor'' vol. 3 #7–8 (May, June 2008)</ref>

===Marvel 2099===
In the [[Marvel 2099]], there have been different versions of Halloween Jack who think that they are Loki:
In the [[Marvel 2099]] line of series, the original Asgardians were no more but the belief in them had grown into a full-fledged religion with many followers. Seeking to take advantage of this, a corporation called "Alchemax" decided to create their own Valhalla. One of the company's scientists, Jordan Boone, decided that he wanted to have powers and snuck into the program where he became Loki but still maintained his own personality. Boone (Loki) helps [[Doom 2099|Doom]], [[Krystalin]], [[Bloodhawk]], [[Skullfire|Timothy Fitzgerald]] and [[Meanstreak (comics)|Meanstreak]] fight Alchemax's versions of Thor and Heimdall. After Heimdall is defeated, Loki watches as Doom defeats Thor, gloating about his plan to pit Alchemax and heroes against each other to gain enough superpower to shapeshift out of it. He transforms into a bird and flies away.<ref>''X-Men 2099'' #5 (Feb 1994)</ref>
 
====Earth-928 version====
When Loki is next seen, he appears as the villainous Halloween Jack after being tortured by Desdemona and her brother Lytton after they accuse him of cheating in their casino. Loki seeks revenge on them for turning him "into a monster" and with the help of Meanstreak, he heads to Las Vegas and finds Desdemona alone in her office. He attack her, revealing to her his true form (Loki) and hacks into her accounts planning to 'make Vegas fun again'.<ref>''X-Men 2099'' #17 (Feb. 1995)</ref>

====Earth-2099 version====
On the unified Marvel 2099 reality of Earth-2099, Jordan Boone still operated as Halloween Jack and still thought that he was Loki. When he posed as Mr. Cecilsson, Halloween Jack was elected to Alchemax International's [[board of directors]]. He later partnered with the 2099 version of Carnage. Both Halloween Jack and the Carnage symbiote were defeated by [[Spider-Man 2099]] and his allies.<ref>''Spider-Man 2099: Dark Genesis'' #1-5. Marvel Comics.</ref>
 
Halloween Jack later appeared as a member of a Multiversal group called the [[Sinister Squadron]]. At a building, he was seen torturing a captured Spider-Man 2099. When the Spider-Society members who haven't been captured by the Sinister Squadron show up, Spider-Man 2099 broke free and restrained Halloween Jack while revealing that [[Kraven the Hunter#Earth-31|Hunter Spider]] is working as a spy for the Sinister Squadron.<ref>''Spider-Society'' #1.

In the reality of [[Marvel Comics 2|Earth-982]], Loki kidnaps several major superheroes including [[Thunderstrike (Kevin Masterson)]], [[Cassandra Lang|the Stinger]], [[Jolt (comics)|Jolt]], [[Jubilee (comics)|Jubilation Lee]], [[Robbie Baldwin|Speedball]], [[J2 (comics)|J2]] and [[Vision (Marvel Comics)|Mainframe]] after sending a fake distress call from the former Avengers mansion. He ties them up and takes them to Asgard, where he wants to use Thunderstrike's mace's powers for himself, but Kevin disrupts the spell, absorbing the mace into himself and transforming into a new Thunderstrike in the process. Loki and his army of Trolls are forced into retreat by the heroes, with help from Thor, now the King of Asgard. Thunderstrike, Stinger, J2 and Mainframe decide to stay together as the new Avengers. The adult heroes decline to stay with the reformed team because of personal reasons.<ref>''A-Next'' #1 (Oct. 1998)</ref>
 
Years later, Loki is bitter about the fact that he was the cause of the Avengers' formation and wants to get his revenge. They start kidnapping heroes, holding them prisoner in life-sized crystals when [[Captain America]], J2, Thunderstrike, [[Spider-Girl (Mayday Parker)|Spider-Girl]] and [[Wild Thing (comics)|Wild Thing]] show up through a portal they found in another universe. The heroes are quickly outnumbered by Loki's robots and they vow to end ''The Age of Heroes''.<ref>''Last Hero Standing'' #2 (Sept. 2005)</ref>
 
J2 and Spider-Girl escape but Captain America and Thunderstrike are chained and Loki plans to brainwash the heroes to send them back to Earth where they will become violent and turn against each so they will eventually destroy all the heroes. His plan is ruined by Thor when he shows up after figuring out why certain superheroes are acting so much differently. Together, Thor, Captain America, Hulk and Spider-Girl get Loki to surrender. Captain America notices a gem hanging on Loki's neck, and smashes it with his shield. Loki was using this gem to help turn the heroes evil but once the gem is destroyed, the heroes revert to normal. A furious Loki releases a deadly blast on Captain America, killing him. Thor uses his hammer and sends Loki into Limbo forever and the Hulk decides to join him to make sure that Loki remains there. After Captain America dies, Thor uses his hammer to grant Captain America's soul immortality. His soul floats into the skies, and creates a shiny new, bright star in the sky in the form of Captain America's shield, meant to always inspire the heroes and future generations to come.<ref>''Last Hero Standing'' #2–3 (Oct.-Nov. 2005)</ref>

Loki appears in ''[[The Ultimates 2]]'' as the evil half-sibling of [[Ultimate Thor|Thor]].<ref name="Ultimates 2 #1">''The Ultimates 2'' #1</ref>
The Ultimate version of Loki has the ability to "shuffle time and space", and in his first appearance, causes a ripple during Thor's conversation with [[Volstagg]]. In the restaurant, Loki is apparently in the background, which would mark his first "appearance" (he is mentioned and his powers apparently used, but they are only briefly seen).<ref name="Ultimates 2 #1"/> Loki comes to Earth after escaping from the Room Without Doors and begins to cause havoc, especially for Thor and the [[United States]] after assisting the [[Masters of Evil|Liberators]] (multinational group of superpowered villains representing [[Syria]], [[China]], [[Iran]], [[Russia]], [[North Korea]], and [[France]]). Through his power he creates the persona for himself of "'''Gunnar Golmen'''", the head scientist of the [[Norway|Norwegian]] extension of the "European Defense Initiative", the European counterpart to The Ultimates, and turns Thor into "Thorlief", Gunnar's brother, a former mental patient who stole the technology that Gunnar created for the Initiative.<ref>''The Ultimates 2'' #4</ref>
Line 273 ⟶ 281:
Loki's motivations for his actions are not completely revealed. He mentions several motivations, from a desire to cause World War III to Odin favoring Thor over him and attempting to gain Odin's favor.<ref>''The Ultimates 2'' #8</ref> Throughout the whole ordeal, Loki regards humans as mere playthings for his pranks. In addition to creating a Norwegian super-soldier program that was supposedly part of an EU initiative and making people believe it was real, even though Norway is not part of the [[European Union]], he claimed to have been the one who framed [[Captain America (Ultimate Marvel character)|Captain America]] for treason and murdering [[Hawkeye (Clint Barton)|Hawkeye]]'s family, regarding the failure of humans to realize the problems with these assertions as humorous.<ref name="Ultimates 2 #13"/>
 
Loki is freed from his "punishment" in ''[[New Ultimates]]'',<ref>''New Ultimates'' #1</ref> playing an integral part in the re-appearance of the [[Defenders (comics)|Defenders]], now super-powered, as well the invasion of trolls to [[New York City|New York]] with the help of [[Enchantress (Marvel Comics)|Amora the Enchantress]].<ref name="New Ultimates #2">''New Ultimates'' #2</ref> He is later revealed to be the one behind [[Valkyrie (Marvel Comics)|Valkyrie]]'s powers manifesting after the invasion forces attacked America.<ref name="New Ultimates #2"/> In revenge against Thor, Loki impales Valkyrie with a sword, to which she is restored by [[Hela (comics)|Hela]] as a real Valkyrie and takes vengeance on Loki, banishing him to [[Hel (location)|Hel]].<ref>''Ultimate Comics: New Ultimates'' #5</ref> Loki and every other Asgardian, excluding Thor, were killed by the Children of Tomorrow (led by [[Maker (Reed Richardscharacter)|Reed Richards]]) when Asgard was destroyed.<ref>''Ultimate Comics: Ultimates'' #2</ref>
 
''[[Ultimate Comics: Thor]]'' elaborates Loki's backstory. Loki is the child of Odin and the giantess Laufey, who procreated him as part of a peace settlement between Asgard and Jotunheim. Loki was always jealous of his older brother Thor for having been given Mjolnir and rebelled against Asgard by stealing the sacred Norn Stones (relic extensions of Odin's power) and killing their half-brother Balder with their favoured bow. Banished from Asgard, Loki (going under the disguise of Nazi supervillain [[Baron Zemo]]) waged an attack on the kingdom eons later, in 1939, with a coalition army of Frost Giants and Nazi soldiers, killing every Asgardian in sight. Loki attempted a battle with Odin, only to be forced into the Room Without Doors while Asgard was destroyed. Using the Stones, Loki is later summoned by an older Nazi, [[Helmut Zemo]] (around the time The Hulk was fighting the Ultimates in [[Manhattan]] during Ultimates vol. 1). For his loyalty, Loki kills him.<ref>''Ultimate Comics: Thor'' #4</ref>
