Build Comments: Man, did Loki steal The Dark World. I heard they did reshoots because the tests for Tom
Hiddleston’s masterful performance were through the roof. They’re even talking solo flick for him, which I don’t really
want to see, but still, how many villains get THAT?

[Secret Origins: Many years ago, when Bor, ruler of Asgard, was battling 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,
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 Asgardians into battle against the Frost Giants and gravely injured Laufey, who
was the King of the Frost Giants, in personal combat. After leaving Laufey to die, Odin found a small Asgardian-sized
child hidden within the primary stronghold of the Frost Giants. The child was Loki and Laufey had kept him hidden from
his people due to his shame over his son's small size. Odin took the boy, out of a combination of pity, to appease his
father, and because he was the son of a worthy adversary slain in honorable combat, and raised him as his son
alongside his biological son Thor.

The Story so Far: Throughout their childhood and into adolescence, Loki was resentful of the differences in which he
and Thor were treated by the citizens of Asgard. The Asgardians valued great strength, tenacity, and bravery in battle
above all things, and Loki was clearly inferior to his foster brother Thor in those areas. What he lacked in size and
strength, however, he made up for in power and skill, particularly as a sorcerer. As Loki grew to adulthood, his natural
talent for causing mischief would make itself manifest and earned him a nickname as the "God of Lies and Mischief"; his
mischievousness eventually became malice as his hunger for power and revenge grew stronger. Several times he tried
to use tricks to get rid of Thor, like telling him to guard a hole in the wall he had made. In time, his reputation grew
from being a playful and mischievous trickster to some calling him the "God of Evil". 

Over the centuries, Loki attempted on many occasions to seize rulership of Asgard and to destroy Thor. He even helped
the Storm giant Ghan to escape Thor, planning to get a debt from him later, and aided other enemies of Asgard,
planning to take over. Loki compiled an extensive criminal record in Asgard, and Odin who had grown weary of Loki's
mischief, frequently exiled him. 

Loki's schemes eventually came to include Earth itself, and he often fought with Earth's superhuman heroes to take
their planet, and often Asgard itself. He first battled Thor on Earth in modern times after escaping from the tree that
Odin has magically trapped him in. Loki then manipulated the Hulk into wreaking havoc using an illusion of dynamite on
train tracks, while in astral form in an attempt to lure Thor to Earth, which inadvertently led to the formation of the
Avengers as several other heroes came to meet the Hulk.

Thor was one of the founding members of this superhuman team, and often led them in battle against his brother.
Several times Loki, while not directly battling Thor himself, caused threats for Thor to battle, like increasing the mental
powers of a carnival fortune teller Sandu, making him powerful enough to lift buildings with his mind and releasing a
Lava man called Molto by accident when he caused a long-dead volcano to explode. Loki even released Mr. Hyde and
Cobra by paying their bail, then doubled their powers. Loki told them to kidnap Jane Foster, which he knew would
attract Thor's attention, but they were again defeated. Loki finally went after Jane Foster himself, sending her to
another dimension. However Doctor Strange was able to protect her, and Thor forced Loki to return her.

Among Loki's better known henchmen was the human criminal Carl "The Crusher" Creel, whom Loki transformed into
the superhuman criminal known as the Absorbing Man. Creel would prove to be a formidable adversary to Thor over the
years. Loki went so far as to attempt to turn Odin against Thor and to steal Thor's enchanted hammer, Mjolnir in an
attempt to free himself, but all his efforts failed. When he convinced Odin to go to Earth and leave him in charge of
Asgard with part of the Odinforce, he released Skagg, the largest Storm Giant, and Surtur, the huge Fire Demon, to try
to destroy Odin. However Thor and Balder helped defeat the monsters, and Loki was sent to serve the Trolls. 

Loki was responsible for the Destroyer being awakened, by leading a Hunter to the Temple where the Destroyer armor
resided using his mental abilities while Thor was nearby, causing the Hunter's soul to animate the armor, but Thor
forced the Hunter to return to his body, then buried the armor under thousands of tons of rock. The Absorbing Man was
brought back to Earth by Loki, and battled Thor, but Loki quickly took him to Asgard when Thor was on the verge of
defeating him. The Absorbing Man defeated the Asgardians without too much trouble and absorbed Odin's attacks.
However Loki and his ally were exiled into space due to a trick by Odin. He sent his astral form back to Earth and took
over the Destroyer armor, attempting to take over Asgard, but Odin sent Balder to discover the location of Loki, then
used his powers to send Loki out of the Destroyer armor.

Characterization: Loki is the trickster god and his lived up to that for centuries. He has been one of the greatest
villains in Earth’s history and has shown no sign of desiring to end that. At his core, he simply suffers from an inferiority
complex to his brother, Thor, and strives to prove to everyone that he is his equal, if not his better.

Friends and Foes: Loki’s greatest rival is Thor, but he has run afoul of dozens of heroes over the years and no one,
hero or villain alike, ever really trusts him. Despite all their conflicts over the centuries, Thor continues to love his
brother and hopes to truly reform him someday, but that day remains far away, if it ever comes.
