―Loki to Thanos
Loki Laufeyson was the biological son of Laufey, King of the Frost Giants, who was abandoned and left to die shortly after his birth. Found by Odin, Loki was taken to Asgard and raised by him and Frigga as an Asgardian prince, along with Thor, becoming the Asgardian God of Mischief. When Thor was to be crowned King, Loki had sabotaged the coronation by letting the Frost Giants attack Asgard, thus leading Thor to seek vengeance on Jotunheim, which resulted in Thor's banishment to Earth and Loki finding out the truth about his heritage. Frigga gave Loki the throne when Odin had fallen into the Odinsleep; however, when the Warriors Three and Sif attempted to return Thor home, Loki was forced to try to stop them. Regardless, Thor returned from his exile on Earth and ended Loki's reign, thwarting his attempt to declare war on the Nine Realms with Jotunheim's destruction. With Odin disapproving of his actions, Loki allowed himself to fall through the deep abyss of space, entering a wormhole created by the sudden termination of the Bifrost Bridge.
Transported by the wormhole to Sanctuary, Loki encountered The Other who offered to serve under Thanos' command and gave him the Scepter. Loki was given command over the Chitauri army in order to conquer Earth, under the provision that Loki acquires the Tesseract for Thanos. Once he came to Earth, Loki managed to take possession of the Tesseract and used its power to open a wormhole above New York City and caused the Chitauri Invasion, but all of Loki's schemes were ultimately defeated by the Avengers. Thor returned him to Asgard as his prisoner, where Odin condemned him to spend the rest of his life in the Asgardian Dungeons as punishment for his crimes.
However, when Frigga was killed during the Sacking of Asgard, Loki was freed by Thor in order to defeat the Dark Elves led by Malekith who desired to use the power of the Aether to transform the universe into eternal darkness. During the fight against the Dark Elves in Svartalfheim, Loki faked his death, and, unbeknownst to everyone in the Kingdom, returned to Asgard and successfully removed Odin from the throne, taking his place as King where he remained for several years. During his reign, Loki continued to rule Asgard by sending Sif on missions to Earth to investigate the attacks of Lorelei and Vin-Tak.
Eventually, the return of Thor forced Loki to reveal his deception as the pair journeyed together to find Odin, arriving just in time to witness Odin's death. The loss of Odin allowed Hela, Odin's firstborn, to return from banishment and wage war against the Nine Realms. Loki found himself stranded at Sakaar along with Thor where Loki allied himself with the Grandmaster while Thor was forced to battle against Hulk. Despite trying to manipulate his way to freedom, Loki chose to side with Thor and the Revengers in a final battle against Hela, in which Loki summoned Surtur, who defeated Hela by causing Ragnarök and destroying all of Asgard.
During his final moments on Asgard, Loki took the Tesseract from Odin's Vault and in the wake of the Destruction of Asgard, chose to stay by his brother's side and support his ascension onto the throne. Consequences of his deal with Thanos would soon come back to haunt Loki, however, as the Mad Titan and his Black Order intercepted the Asgardians as they were making their way towards Earth. In the chaos that followed, Loki attempted to kill Thanos but ultimately failed. When Loki taunted Thanos by telling him that he would never be a god, the Mad Titan snapped his neck, finally killing the God of Mischief.
Early LifeTrickster's SchemesStarting a WarNew AllianceChitauri InvasionBattle of New York―Thor to Loki
Loki was an ever-scheming individual; the God of Mischief, he meddled in people's lives and even led them to their inevitable deaths as it made him feel powerful, and often used superior ploys or ulterior designs upon his enemies, such as Thor and the Avengers. Compared to his boisterous older brother, he constantly seemed to be relaxed, peaceful and quiet, but in truth he had the mind of a cold, calculating sociopath and was formulating machinations that would achieve the power and respect that he truly believed he deserves at all times. Loki supposedly cared for Thor, consoling him after his coronation was ruined and even claiming to love him beforehand, but in actuality, Loki had been envious of Thor his entire life, although no one knew the extent of such envy until it was too late. He had a deep hatred of Odin and Thor due to supposedly being the least-favored son and rejected by Thor himself all the time. Loki would do anything to mortify, defeat or hurt Thor, even enslaving the world he cared for and supposedly taking his own life.
Part of his bitterness stemmed from the revelation that he was a Frost Giant and intended as a political tool to bring peace between Asgardians and Frost Giants. As such, Loki felt alienated and guilty, since he was a member of a race Asgardians were taught to fear and hate, and the people he thought were his family concealed this from him all his life. Growing up, Loki believed he was an actual prince of Asgard and so genuinely thought he could be king. Loki competed with Thor for Odin's favor, yet once his real parentage was revealed, Loki felt betrayed, as he felt a Frost Giant as king was never a feasible possibility. Furthermore, Loki felt that he was viewed as nothing more than a trophy and tool instead of an actual son by Odin, despite evidence to the contrary.
However, deep down, Loki loved his family to some degree. Though his hatred for his brother and father seemed to be unending, he did not harbor these feelings for his mother, Frigga, who genuinely empathized with him. Upon learning she was killed, Loki, in rage and grief, destroyed everything within his cell. When he got confronted by Thor in his imprisonment, he genuinely asked if she suffered as she died and was ready to work with his much-hated brother to kill Malekith. Part of this stemmed from his regret over directing Kurse to Frigga and Jane Foster. On Svartalfheim, Loki displayed tremendous and uncharacteristic selflessness, such as risking his own life to save Foster and Thor, while "dying" in the process. Thor even stated that Loki indeed died with honor, yet this was a ruse; soon after Thor and Foster departed, Loki, disguised as an Asgardian warrior, was taken back home and after reporting "Loki's" death, overtook Odin and usurped the throne.
Despite his hatred and contempt, Loki had expressed the desire to be Thor's equal and recognized by Odin as a worthy son. He seemed to care about the two of them to an extent, particularly Odin, calling the guards and looking on in concern when Odin collapsed on the ground. While Odin was undergoing the Odinsleep, Loki saved his adoptive father from being murdered by Laufey, as he later stated that his death was not his goal, and did not actually kill Odin While he was hanging onto Thor at the Bifrost, he stated to Odin that he wanted to destroy Jotunheim for him. Loki also appeared hesitant to eject Thor out of the Helicarrier, and, but rather imprisoned him on Earth.
The love he once showed and his more human emotions appeared to be significantly dulled by the time he arrived on Earth, along with the decades of built-up resentment which overshadowed any sliver of humanity Loki might retain; this may have also been due in part to what may have happened to him while in the company of the Chitauri. Despite this, however, Loki's time as king of Asgard appeared to have reduced his rivalry with and resentment for Thor and Odin, as he showed sadness and remorse for Odin's death and even showed visible care for Thor on Sakaar, asking him not to return to Asgard out of possible concern of his adopted brother dying against Hela. He was evidently angry and distraught when Thor ignored his offers to abandon Asgard and join the Grandmaster, saying emotionally that he always had to do it alone. He was also affected when Thor suggested he remain on Sakaar due to his power-hungry nature and seemed saddened when Thor said that their paths had diverged long ago. Ultimately, Loki's newfound love for his brother swayed him to help Thor evacuate the Asgardians, risk his life by personally reviving Surtur, and support Thor's coronation.
Powers
―Steve Rogers to Tony Stark •Frost Giant Physiology: Since Loki had been enchanted to look like an Asgardian, Loki's Frost Giant features only came out when he was in contact with Frost Giant magic, such as when he utilized the Casket of Ancient Winters or when he was afflicted with the Frost Giants' touch. Though he is surpassed in physical capabilities by Asgardians, he can easily overpower grown men such as Tony Stark and keep up with enhanced individuals such as Captain America. •Superhuman Strength: Loki possessed considerable superhuman strength, allowing him to overpower multiple S.H.I.E.L.D. agents and Captain America with little effort, easily defeat multiple Frost Giants, Dark Elves and Berserkers. He also effortlessly lifted Tony Stark off his feet and threw him, and even handled an Infinity Stone without being harmed. He threw one of his knives with enough force to break through a Frost Giant's ice weapon. However, Loki's strength is still outclassed by that of Thor, the Hulk, and Thanos. Although he was able to fight Valkyrie on nearly equal grounds by matching her strength with his own skill, speed, and agility before she overpowered him. He was completely unable to resist Thanos, who effortlessly overpowered and lifted him off his feet with no strain even as Loki struggled to break free. He was also unable to fight Hulk, who lifted him off his feet and repeatedly pummeled and defeated him within seconds. When wielding the Scepter, which contained an Infinity Stone, and Gungnir, Loki managed to go toe-to-toe with a Mjolnir-wielding Thor in a fight, albeit he was ultimately defeated even when Thor was holding back. •Superhuman Durability: Loki was highly resistant to physical harm, further augmented by his armor. Hence, Loki only flinched after getting shot in the face multiple times with a handgun and was not at all affected by assault rifle rounds to his torso. Loki also barely reacted to a jab to the face from Captain America, and even a full force kick to the face from the latter that made Loki stumble back only hurt him slightly. He could even withstand the explosion of the energy of the Rainbow Bridge with no damage. However, sufficiently powerful weapons, such as Iron Man's repulsors, Hawkeye's explosive arrows, and a deflected shot from his own Scepter, were at least able to cause Loki pain and leave minor marks. Loki's durability was implied to be far greater than that of a normal Frost Giant, as he was able to take multiple mighty blows from Valkyrie, and even Hulk and Thor without any fatal damage. In addition, as a Frost Giant, Loki was immune to the extreme cold of Jotunheim. He also managed to safely touch the Tesseract without being harmed and even endure Thanos' grip on his neck long enough to defiantly threaten him that he will never be a god, although he quickly died. However, Loki's endurance and durability were shown to be considerably lesser than that of Thor, as seen when Loki was completely wiped out by Hulk's attack, yet Thor managed to recover from the same attack moments later, without any visible injuries and this was later shown when Thor survived being badly beaten and even having his head squeezed by Thanos while Loki was easily killed by Thanos when he snapped his neck without any effort. He could also survive in the vacuum of space unfazed. •Superhuman Speed: Loki's inferior strength compared to Thor was compensated for his superhuman speed; he was fast enough to catch Hawkeye's arrow in mid-flight, inches away from his neck. He also used his speed in his fight against Captain America, during which he easily gained the upper hand, even smashing Captain America's Shield to the ground. Loki's speed even allowed him to contend with stronger opponents, such as Valkyrie and Thor, by outmaneuvering them, though he still ultimately lost such fights and Thor was holding back against Loki each and every time they fought and once Loki angered his brother in their second fight, Thor was able to easily catch Loki off-guard and beat him without Loki being able to react, implying Loki's speed is inferior to Thor when Thor held nothing back. Loki was also fast enough to tackle his brother out of the way before Hulk ambushed Thanos. •Superhuman Agility: Loki had immense agility and reflexes. When arriving on Earth, Loki leaped a great distance to impale a S.H.I.E.L.D. agent, and later defeated several Dark Elves at once by using swift and agile movements. He later kept up with the stronger Valkyrie for the majority of their fight with his agility, though Loki was ultimately defeated and chained up, as well as going toe-to-toe with Thor, albeit Thor was holding back, despite the latter's own great agility and fighting ability, in both of their fights. •Superhuman Stamina: Loki possessed superhuman stamina that allowed him to fight prolonged battles. He defeated almost all of the S.H.I.E.L.D. agents without tiring out. He also fought in the Battle of New York which took a couple of hours and did not get tired either. •Superhuman Reflexes: Loki possesses superhuman reaction time and reflexes. During the Battle of New York, Loki he managed to catch an arrow shot by Hawkeye when it was in the mid-flight without looking. After the Destruction of Asgard, Thor threw an object at Loki, which he promptly caught using his reflexes. •Regenerative Healing Factor: Despite his astounding resistance to injury, it was still possible to injure or even kill Loki. However, due to his Frost Giant physiology, Loki healed at a rate much faster than that of humans. Hence, Loki was quickly recovered back on his feet even after being brutally smashed multiple times against the ground by Hulk. •Longevity: Frost Giants naturally are able to live for thousands of years. Loki, who was born in 965 A.D., lived up to 2018 while still keeping a relatively young appearance. •Ice Manipulation: Not long after learning of his Jotun blood, Loki discovered an ability to create and manipulate ice. This allowed him to quickly learn the properties of the Casket of Ancient Winters, which he used to freeze the Bifrost in place when trying to destroy Jotunheim. •Cold Immunity: Due to his Frost Giant physiology, Loki was immune to the otherwise cold and damaging touch of Frost Giants. He was unharmed when Raze grabbed him, whereas Volstagg was injured by the physical contact from a Frost Giant. In fact, both a Frost Giant's touch and his, either using or even touching the Casket of Ancient Winters, would reveal his true form as a Frost Giant. ―Hogun •Magic: Loki learned how to wield Asgardian Magic while growing up in Asgard, thanks to his adoptive mother Frigga. He eventually became an extremely skilled and formidable sorcerer, with it being his main asset in battle, though other exceptionally skilled sorcerers, like Doctor Strange could contend with him. Even Odin was impressed by Loki's magical skills and noted that Frigga would have been proud of him. •Illusion Manipulation: Loki could generate extremely detailed images from outside himself, which are perceptible in the external world, sometimes with a gesture. His holographic illusions could be projected across entire rooms, which allowed him to disguise the fact that he was disheveled and had destroyed his cell in the Asgardian Dungeons in anger over Frigga's death, though Thor was able to deduce the illusion quickly. However, Loki most notably conjured up the extremely convincing illusion of him seemingly dying from a wound inflicted by Kurse. During the Virtue Challenge, he was able to conjure a second Habrow Hawk to distract the first while Sif grabbed the Hawk's Egg. Loki was also able to alter his physical appearance, as well as voice, and clothing in order to resemble another person or animal. When Loki uses this power on an entire person, the light generated is green, whereas if it is used on only part of a person or their clothing, the light appears yellow. He used this power to change his clothing from his usual armor to a human's business suit, and back to his battle armor. He was also capable of imitating Thor, Captain America, Odin, and an anonymous Asgardian guard. Loki's illusions were so skilled that even as a child, he was able to transform himself into a snake to trick Thor, with his disguise being convincing enough to allow Thor to pick him up and hold him without arousing suspicion. He can also change others appearances as he briefly turned Thor into a frog as well as making him look like Lady Sif, and later on, to appear as if he had been stabbed, beaten and missing a hand when tricking Malekith into thinking that he had attacked Thor. Loki's shapeshifting also allowed him to generate weapons and armor as well, such as when he turned himself into an Asgardian Guard, he generated a spear and armor. Loki also used this power to generate a dagger in an attempt to assassinate Thanos. Loki's shapeshifting could not free him of any restraints placed upon him, as when he transformed into Captain America to mock him, Loki's hands were still bound, although he made it appear that the restraints had vanished. •Decoy Manipulation: Loki could recreate an exact facsimile of one's own body, which acted as a true holographic mirror of its molecular structure in its present circumstance. He was particularly noted to fool enemies who try to attack him by creating a duplication casting or in other words, an illusion. These projections cannot interact with the environment and when someone attempts to interact with it, they will phase through it and the projections will give a green glow around wherever it was touched. Thor was noted to fall for this ability numerous times. Loki can even produce multiple images of himself appear simultaneously during a duel with Thor before the latter blasted them away with a blast of lightning. He could also use this ability to project himself into other locations, similarly to astral projection, through which he can perceive and communicate with others. He may have used this method to speak Thor when the latter was imprisoned by Phil Coulson after failing to pick up his hammer, instantly appearing in and then disappearing from the sealed room Thor was kept in. While in possession of the Scepter, Loki could project himself far across the universe to speak with The Other and was able to feel when the latter touched his projection's face. Whilst Thor was imprisoned on Sakaar, he would send an illusion of himself to try and convince Thor to work with him in his future scheme to betray the Grandmaster. Being more wary of his brother's duplicitous antics, Thor managed to recognize Loki leaving a decoy of himself in his place as the pair were walking side by side while he attempted to sneak away from him. •Presence Manipulation: Loki was able to render himself and others unseen and unheard to whomever he wanted. This effect could be achieved both through him creating the illusion of letting light waves pass through himself or as simply a trick of the mind, similar to hypnosis. He could even mask his presence from the all-seeing Heimdall himself while he was in Jotunheim, sneak several Frost Giants into Asgard without Heimdall's notice, and hide from S.H.I.E.L.D. agents when he briefly visited Thor and attempted to lift Mjølnir himself. Also, he appeared as a reflection in a mirror without being present in a room, while no one noticed him, as he even spoke aloud and neither Erik Selvig nor Nick Fury heard him, though this may have been at least partly accomplished through the use of the Scepter to astrally project himself to the location as he subliminally influenced Selvig. Using two illusory decoys of himself, one to lure Thor into the holding cell on the Helicarrier previously containing him and another to distract Thor and Phil Coulson, Loki managed to lurk behind the latter despite otherwise being in full view of Thor before killing Coulson and revealing himself. •Mental Manipulation: Loki could subtly influence the minds of others, such as when he manipulated Erik Selvig into researching the Tesseract, making him repeat his words and thoughts as if they were his own. Later, Loki was even able to cast such a spell on Odin himself, which induced the All-Father to stay on Midgard while Loki usurped his Asgardian throne for four years, though it should be noted that the spell's effects were ultimately not permanent and Odin was able to break the spell shortly before Ragnarök, and only choose to remain in exile due to his impending death. Loki's illusions could also take the form of entire vivid visions, such as when he notably forced Valkyrie to relive her day of defeat against Hela by placing his hand on her head, something he was able to perceive. •Conjuration: Loki was able to cause objects to appear or disappear according to his will, oftentimes those he had previously acquired. When Heimdall was about to attack him, Loki quickly summoned the Casket of Ancient Winters to use against him, then made it disappear with a wave of his hands. He also appeared to be able to summon his dual daggers out of thin air when threatening Doctor Strange. Later, he used this ability to summon a dagger to throw at Hela while in the Bifrost. Finally, he used this ability to make the Tesseract appear in his hand when presenting it to Thanos. •Telekinesis: Loki would influence objects and move matter with mere gestures and focus. Upon hearing of Frigga's death, Loki, in a fury, clenched his fists and sent nearly everything around the cell flying through the air and crashing into the walls, which also shook the cell violently like a small tremor, causing the light in it to flicker like an electromagnetic pulse.
Former Powers
•Scepter Capabilities: The Scepter was a staff weapon that served as the original containment vessel for the Mind Stone, one of the six Infinity Stones, it was gifted by Thanos. •Mind Control: Through the Scepter, Loki was able to control minds of another people and made they obey him. Loki used this to control Clint Barton and Erik Selvig to force then to obey and help him. •Telepathy: Through the Scepter, Loki was able to communicate telepathically with The Other. •Cosmic Awareness: Through the Scepter, Loki was able to have a vast spatial knowledge. Loki used this to give some spatial knowledge to Clint Barton and Erik Selvig. •Energy Blast: Through the Scepter, Loki was able to make energy blasts in order to attack his enemies. Loki attacked a police car and the Quinjet.
Abilities
―Thor to Loki •Genius-Level Intellect: Loki was very intelligent, particularly in the fields of sorcery, tactics, manipulation, and deception, ranking as among the most intelligent individuals in the universe, being highly formidable even without using his powers or combat skills but simply through sheer intelligence, although while holding incredible intelligence, he was still way surpassed by someone as intelligent as Thanos's, with the latter thus easily completely deceiving and manipulating Loki into becoming his henchmen without him even realizing it for a long time and Loki would ultimately meet his true end when he attempted to fool and kill Thanos, who easily outsmarted Loki yet again, casually deflecting Loki's assassination attempt and then killing him without Loki being able to use his intelligence to survive the encounter. Also, Loki was initially noticeably superior to Thor in intelligence, repeatedly outsmarting him, but Thor would eventually manage to anticipate and outsmart Loki. Hence, despite lacking scientific expertise, he was able to understand and eventually utilize alien technologies with great proficiency, such as when he used a Midgard eye remover on Heinrich Schafer, when learned to use the control console that controlled the cage on Nick Fury's Helicarrier, and when he piloted both a Chitauri and Sakaaran airships. One of Loki's biggest achievements was successfully outsmarting and killing the almost invincible and vastly stronger Kurse, whom Loki tricked into letting him get close enough to activate his opponent's own Black Hole Grenade, a strategy which neither Kurse saw through until it was too late or Thor had thought of who unsuccessfully attempted to beat him hand-to-hand. ―Tony Stark and Loki •Master Tactician: Loki was a crafty genius in orchestrating cunning schemes, that had earned him the title of 'God of Mischief'. Hence, Loki successfully orchestrated the events that lead to the banishment and death of Thor, by making Laufey and the Frost Giants attack Asgard during Thor's coronation, only to betray them and gain Asgard's throne. He later allowed himself to be captured by the Avengers and had his brainwashed ally Hawkeye attack Nick Fury's Helicarrier, and provoke Hulk into a rage, thereby freeing himself and separating the superhero team. Later, Loki helped Thor in the latter's attempt to destroy the Reality Stone by pretending to betray him in full view of Malekith and Kurse, thereby momentarily gaining the Dark Elves' trust. Shortly thereafter, Loki successfully faked his own death, cast a hypnosis spell against Odin, and finally usurped the Asgardian throne for four years. After later being marooned on Sakaar, Loki managed to gain the Grandmaster's trust with relative ease. However, his incredible tactical abilities are still far surpassed by Thanos, as the latter was able to easily anticipate Loki's attempt to assassinate him and then successfully finish him off for good. ―Natasha Romanoff to Thor •Expert Combatant: Even though Loki was far more interested in sorcery than Asgardian warrior arts, he was still a highly skilled and formidable hand-to-hand combatant, having received extensive training in unarmed combat as well as having centuries of combat experience. His skills had allowed him to effortlessly defeat and kill several S.H.I.E.L.D. operatives in mere seconds, to easily kill several Frost Giants in Jotunheim, to easily slay multiple Dark Elves at once, using only a dagger, to defeat many Berserkers, and to roughly overpower the extremely skilled Captain America in a duel, although the latter proved to have more combat skills than that of his own. He has even been able to hold his own well against the stronger Valkyrie, and even Thor on several occasions, who were among the most skilled warriors in Asgard's history, though Thor later admitted to having held back against his adopted brother. •Knife Mastery: Loki prefers using his daggers in combat as he was highly skilled at using them, being able to easily kill several Frost Giants and Dark Elves with a single dagger. He was also highly skilled in knife throwing, as he accurately threw a knife into a Frost Giant as well as throwing two blades into the necks of two S.H.I.E.L.D. agents at once. He also resorted to this weapon on multiple accounts. He used his daggers in an illusion of cutting Thor's hand off and also resorted to it on a last ditch effort to kill Thanos before Loki's ultimate demise. •Spear Mastery: Loki was extremely skilled at using a spear in combat, being able to contend with Thor using Mjølnir wielding Gungnir in their ferocious duel. He also wielded the Scepter with devastating efficiency, effortlessly killing many S.H.I.E.L.D operatives and once again going toe-to-toe with Thor using his hammer. •Expert Marksman: Loki was a highly skilled marksman who could wield different types of weapons with great accuracy. He used Gungnir to shoot and kill his father, Laufey. After being given the Scepter by Thanos, Loki used it to fire energy blasts with devastating accuracy. During the Destruction of Project P.E.G.A.S.U.S. and the Battle of New York Loki shot air crafts out of the sky with only one shot using the Scepter. Loki was also highly skilled in knife throwing. During the Attack on Jotunheim and Destruction of Project P.E.G.A.S.U.S. Loki killed several Frost Giants and S.H.I.E.L.D. agents by throwing knives at them. Loki was able to gun down several Sakaaran Guards with a Sakaaran Laser Rifle with little effort during the Escape from Sakaar despite not being known to use a gun. ―Loki to Thor •Pilot: Loki was a capable pilot, claiming to be better than Thor, able to effectively fly numerous alien spaceships, including a Chitauri Chariot, an Asgardian Skiff and the Commodore by himself. •Bilingualism: Loki was fluent in his native Asgardian, as well as English.
Weapons
―Loki to Thor •Blades: In battle, Loki often used knives or daggers to injure and kill his enemies, though he was also proficient with a spear. He once had throwing blades that glowed when in use, which allowed him to kill attacking Frost Giants with a single throw. He used what appeared to be the throwing blades to kill S.H.I.E.L.D. agents when he first came for the Tesseract. As for the Second Dark Elf Conflict, he was seen using a single dagger to kill multiple Dark Elves. Loki also used a dagger during his attempt to assassinate Thanos. •Gungnir: When taking over the throne, Loki wielded Odin's spear, which could fire intense beams of energy that could kill easily mortals or Frost Giants, and injure Asgardians. •Casket of Ancient Winters: Loki took possession of the Casket during his brief rule over Asgard, demonstrating being able to make it appear and disappear with a wave of his hands in a warped, swirling blur of motion, as seen when he used the casket to freeze Heimdall. ―Loki to Destroyer •Destroyer: In an attempt to destroy Thor and ensure that his schemes were not exposed, Loki summoned the Destroyer and sent it down to Puente Antiguo to kill his brother. Loki controlled the Destroyer while sat on his throne within the Royal Palace of Valaskjalf and ordered it to kill Thor by striking his mortal body, however, this inadvertently proved Thor to be worthy and allowed him to regain his powers, resulting in Thor obliterating the Destroyer. •Scepter: When arriving at Earth for the second time, Loki wielded the Scepter, given to him by Thanos that was capable of firing destructive energy bolts, as it contained the Mind Stone. By touching the scepter to the chest of a person, Loki was capable of twisting the person's loyalties towards him while retaining their normal personality, doing so to both Hawkeye and Erik Selvig upon his arrival. •Tesseract: The Tesseract is a crystalline cube-shaped containment vessel for the Space Stone, one of the six Infinity Stones that predate the universe and possesses unlimited energy. Loki used the Tesseract to open a wormhole and allow the Chitauri to invade New York City. Following the Battle of New York, the Tesseract was acquired by Loki's brother Thor, who brought the Tesseract back with him to Asgard. After Loki usurped the throne and disguised himself as Odin, he charged Heimdall with treason, forcing the gatekeeper to flee, while the Tesseract was placed within Odin's vault once more. During the destruction of Asgard, Loki noticed the Tesseract and took it for himself before the vault, along with the planet, were destroyed. Loki later lost the Tesseract to Thanos who destroyed it to obtain the Space Stone. •Black Hole Grenade: The Black Hole Grenade is a weapon mainly used by the Dark Elves that creates a miniature gravitational singularity. This weapon type was used again in the infiltration of Svartalfheim, where Loki planted one on Algrim that was likely held by Algrim prior to that event, killing him in the process. •Sakaaran Laser Rifle: Loki and Thor used these rifles to fight the Grandmaster's guards during their escape plot.
Other Equipment
•Asgardian Armor: During his time as royalty in Asgard, Loki's primary set of armor consisted of green tunic overlaid with golden metal. It occasionally came with a green cape. •Horned Helmet: Loki possessed a golden horned helmet as a protective headgear and to represent the Asgardian magic he wielded. Loki wore the helmet during his time as Prince and King of Asgard up until his presumed demise in the aftermath of the Duel at the Rainbow Bridge. Following his arrival on Earth, Loki continued to wear the helmet throughout the Chitauri Invasion, particularly during the Skirmish in Germany and the Battle of New York. When Ragnarök fell upon Asgard, Loki wore the helmet again when he led the Sakaaran Rebellion in evacuating the surviving Asgardians onto the Statesman. Loki also used the helmet as a melee weapon against the Berserkers during the Battle for Asgard. •Asgardian Collar: Following his defeat in the Battle of New York, Thor muzzled Loki's mouth with an Asgardian collar to temporarily prevent him from speaking. ―Thor and Loki •Crown of Black Fire: Following the defeat of Surtur, Loki was brought the crown of the Fire Demon by Thor while Loki was still disguised as Odin, although Loki mistook the Crown for being Surtur's skull. During their battle against Hela, Loki was personally tasked by Thor with taking the crown down into Odin's Vault and combining it with the Eternal Flame, allowing Surtur to be reborn and destroy both Asgard and Hela. •Eternal Flame: Seeking a way to destroy Hela once and for all before she enslaved the Nine Realms, Loki combined the Eternal Flame with the Crown of Black Fire, allowing the Fire Demon to be reborn and destroy Hela, along with all of Asgard while Loki and the Asgardians made their escape.
Vehicles
•Jeep: During the Destruction of Project P.E.G.A.S.U.S., Loki stole the Tesseract and brainwashed Clint Barton and Erik Selvig into serving him. The three of them fled the scene in a Jeep they stole with Loki sitting in the back. •Chitauri Chariot: In an attempt to escape from Thor in the middle of the Battle of New York, Loki caught a ride on a Chitauri Chariot, which he rode throughout New York City, firing down on the innocent people below him.
