Background / History

Loki was born the undersized son of Laufey, king of the Frost Giants. Abandoned in a Jotunheim temple after war, he was found and taken by Odin. Odin initially intended Loki to become Jotunheim’s king and establish lasting peace with Asgard through Thor and Loki’s future rule; Odin later states that he truly came to regard Loki as his son. 93

Loki discovers his Frost Giant heritage after the Casket of Ancient Winters turns his skin blue. Odin confirms that he is Laufey’s son, but Loki interprets his adoption as being kept as a political tool and resents Odin’s perceived favoritism toward Thor. Odin falls into the Odin Sleep before resolving the confrontation. 93

During Odin’s sleep, Loki sends the Destroyer Armor to Midgard with orders to prevent Thor’s return and annihilate all opposition. He later allows Laufey into Asgard under the pretense of assassinating Odin, only to betray and kill Laufey himself with the Eternal Spear. Loki then activates the Rainbow Bridge against Jotunheim, intending to destroy the Frost Giants and prove himself worthy to Odin. 95 98

Thor stops the destruction of Jotunheim by destroying the Rainbow Bridge. Loki uses illusions during their fight and falls into a cosmic abyss after the conflict. 99

Personality

Loki’s early actions are driven by envy, insecurity, and a desperate need for Odin’s recognition. He sees Thor as the favored heir and believes that their relationship has denied him a fair chance to prove himself. 93 99 165

He is calculating and highly deceptive, readily betraying allies such as Laufey, manipulating Thor with illusions, and controlling others through the Mind Scepter. He also treats humans with open contempt, comparing them to ants beneath a shoe while pursuing dominion over Earth. 98 99 160

Despite his arrogance, Loki is not fearless. The Chitauri Commander’s threats unsettle him, and the arrival of unknown Midgardian sorcerers makes him cautious because their master appears able to predict events. 161 162 184

After witnessing memories of his future sacrifice, Loki’s jealousy and arrogance lessen. He accepts the responsibility of protecting the Timelines, even after learning that his future self would choose an isolated existence for that duty. 648
