Respect Loki, the God of Mischief (Marvel Comics)

Here's a respect thread for Loki, the Norse God of Mischief.

This blog will include feats and powers Loki has displayed since his Silver Age debut in Journey into Mystery #85, 1962. At the moment I'm only considering doing the original Loki (the one that died in Siege), although I may consider doing Kid Loki and Ikol (which includes King Loki as a bonus).

Note: He appeared all the way back in the 60s, so I can't promise this will be a project that can be done quickly.

Status: The research for Original! Loki's feats and hax is finished. Now making a new blog for Kid Loki.

Origin[]

“	You must understand. I do not seek mischief for the sake of mischief. Mischief is my area of expertise as physical battle is my brother's. Mischief is my sword. It is my hammer. We all have tools. We all have areas of excellence. We all have ways that we can shape the world. This is mine. Mischief. But not to you. Not to everyone. Only to those who stand in the way of what I know must be done.	„
	~ Loki to Norman Osborn, Origins of Siege

"After Odin, All-father of the Norse pantheon, slew the evil frost giants, he discovered they hid a human-sized baby in their midst. Odin took the child back with him to the gods' home of Asgard and adopted him, under the name of Loki. The boy grew into a skilled sorcerer, shape-shifter, and one of Asgard's staunchest defenders, often deploying his magicks alongside the might of his foster brother Thor. But the mercurial God of Mischief could hinder the Asgardians, as much as help them, as when he tricked the blind god Hoder into slaying the otherwise invulnerable Balder with an enchanted spear made of mistletoe. And so the gods never fully trusted Loki. Yet in his selfish narcissism, he convinced himself it was Thor who stole his glory from him. If the thunder god fell, or so he thought, the love, and crown, of Asgard would be his. Thor's departure from Asgard to become guardian of Earth gave the god of mischief the perfect opportunity to slay him out of their father's sight. His repeated attacks on the thunder gods, and the mystical empowerment of Thor's enemies, have made Loki one of the greatest threats to our world as well as Asgard!" - Origins of Siege: Loki by Fred van Lente

While pretending to heal Kelda, who just got her heart ripped out by Doom, Loki actually met Kelda's soul on the astral plane to rip out "a raw ingot of [her empathic soul"] and later used this to forge the Eir-gram sword (see Equipment below). During this process he also leached parts of her memories away. He also explained that without that piece of soul, she will be unable to grow emotionally or feel for others as she did before. This slowly led to Kelda's corruption, mentally and spiritually, as she later tried to poison Balder. Also note that he could still use magic in the astral realm, and other high-ranking Asgardians, even Heimdall, failed to notice any of this (Thor #614)

Equipment[]

Capsules that release invisible mist of potion that slows down the actions of those that smell it. Although Thor was completely unaffected (Journey into Mystery #114)
Norn stones which nullify elemental intangibility, give him ghostly intangibility, allow him to fly, withstand intense heat, and repel carnivorous plants (Journey into Mystery #116). Grant life to inanimate objects (Thor #318). Loki also used these stones to heal the Avengers and empowered them to the point of harming The Void (Siege #4)
Potion that set free his ethereal ego, which, unfettered by space or time, can travel the cosmos (Silver Surfer #4)
The Living Mask, which allows Loki to swap body with another being, having control of not only the physical body but also that individual's powers. Once locked on its target, the mask clings to the target's face with such adhesion not even Thor could tear off, rendering them unconscious before swapping their body with Loki's (Thor #179)
The Fire-Sword, a mystic sword Loki created from the souls/ life-force collected from numerous humans. This sword can even burn Thor (Thor #207)
Crystal of Transference: A magical item. Whatever Loki causes to occur within the globe also occurs to the reality on which the globe's setting is modelled (Thor #308)
Enchanted Amulet: An amulet containing an enchanted enhancer that increases the user's size and strength. Loki granted this amulet to Ulik, allowing him to increase in size and strength enough to battle both Thor and Hercules, and to quickly recover from blows of an angry Thor.
Battle Armour: For possessing Odin's body, Loki was exiled to Mephisto's realm as punishment (Thor #454). By the time Thor freed Loki to acquire his help in the battle against the New Immortals (Thor #462), Loki's corporeal body had sustained immense damage from torture to the point of destruction. Loki's wife, Sigyn, used her mystic skills to create this armour to house her husband's spiritual remains until he gains a new corporeal body. This armour allows Loki to fight evenly with Thor on physical terms. (Thor #483)
Battle Axes: Besides swords, Loki has wielded different axes (presumably made of uru, just like Mjolnir) in combat. His enchanted axe which comes with the Battle Armour can contend with Thor physically and can blast Thor away with energy blasts (Thor #483)
Copy of Mjolnir: During the final Ragnarok, Loki found the mold of Mjolnir, hidden by the dwarves that forged the hammer, and had Surtur, resurrected from death, forge many hammers using that mold in Muspelheim. Loki and his army were thus each equipped with a hammer of powers nearly equal to Mjolnir's but dwarfing it with sheer number. While not enchanted by Odin and therefore weaker and had less abilities than the original, these copies nevertheless were still extremely powerful, and a blast from it left Thor badly injured. (Thor v2 #80)
Battle whip: Loki wielded a whip with 3 metal-tipped ends that can control fire and harm the disir, who could all damage him. Also in the same pic is Eir-gram, a mystic sword Loki forged from Kelda's soul with the hellfire of Mephisto's realm. This sword is the only weapon capable of slaying the Disir, who could shrugged off Mjolnir blows from Thor (Siege: Loki)
