Teenage Trickster
Son to Frost Giant King Laufey of Jotunheim and abandoned due to his stunted stature, Loki is hidden away from the others of his kind. When Odin Borson, AKA Odin, ruler of Asgard, slays Laufey, he finds Loki and takes him under his wing to be raised alongside his wife Frigga and son, Thor. In addition to his magical capabilities, Loki possesses superhuman physical abilities such as an increased lifespan, superhuman strength, immunity to terrestrial diseases, and resistance to conventional injury. Loki elevates his powers by training in the rites of black magic.
Constantly witnessing the loving relationship between Odin and Thor sparks jealousy and retaliation from Loki. Adding fuel to the fire, Thor possesses all of the heroic qualities Loki lacks but aspires to have. Motivated by utter envy for his adopted sibling, the young trickster channels his anguish into pulling pranks on his brother and plotting a way to become ruler of Asgard. Possessing an innate aptitude for magic and sorcery, Loki occupies his youth by pranking his brother Thor, advancing his powers in the process. The trickster god’s mystical powers include shapeshifting, astral projection, molecular rearrangement, illusion casting, telepathy, hypnosis, and teleportation.
