In recent times, a series of films were made that told the tales of [[Thor (film)|Thor and I]], as well as [[The Avengers (film)|his allies]], and the task of portraying my likeness was given to one [[Tom Hiddleston]]. One cannot imagine how delighted I was to see that he performed his role masterfully, to the point that he was invited back to [[Loki (TV series)|portray me again in |
In the more recent times of the 2010s, a series of films were made that told the tales of [[Thor (film)|Thor and I]], as well as [[The Avengers (film)|his allies]], and the task of portraying my likeness was given to one [[Tom Hiddleston]]. One cannot imagine how delighted I was to see that he performed his role masterfully, to the point that he was invited back to [[Loki (TV series)|portray me again in 2021]]. |

* [[Abusive Parents]]: Laufey was ''not'' a good father. In one particularly [[Tear Jerker|poignant]] scene, as a time-travelling adult I took revenge on a wounded Laufey with a sword, screaming "YOU WILL NEVER STRIKE ME AGAIN!" |

* [[Affably Evil]]: Depending on my mood, but just because I'm [[Manipulative Bastard|a ruthless manipulator]] doesn't mean I can't be ''civil'' about it. |

* [[Always Someone Better]]: Thor was this to me during our childhood in Asgard. This, coupled with [[Abusive Parents]] above, is basically my [[Freudian Excuse]]....or maybe I simply am who I am? |

* [[Consummate Liar]]: I would say that I do not lie nearly so often as everyone else seems to believe; then again, I am so ''good'' at it, aren't I? |

* [[Daddy's Little Villain]]: [[Subverted Trope|If only.]] My dear Hela is neither little -- thrice my size, in fact; apparently giantism skips a generation -- nor particularly fond of me. Our relationships are rather...strained, at best, and though we sometimes co-operate most of the time she wants nothing to do with me. Unfortunately, as the Goddess of the Dead she is much more powerful than me as well, and worse I may even be destined to someday end up in her custody. Apparently, she thinks me rather...childish, but I am the God of Mischief after all, so I do have a reputation to live up to. |

* [[Dark and Troubled Past]]: My early childhood was littered with neglect and physical abuse. Also the fact I'm a runt giant, 1/5 the size of my kindred. Some offer this as an explanation for my self-loathing and mean behavior. |

* [[Deal with the Devil]]: I have been pressed-gang into deals with actual devils at times such as my forced alliance with [[Doctor Strange|the dread Dormammu]], but I have been on the better end of this more often than not; Crusher Creel, the Absorbing Man, is just one of many mortals who have gained [[Superpower Lottery|special gifts]] courtesy of myself. And if I may be so modest, I am rather more honourable in my dealings than others that might be mentioned... |

* [[Time Travel]]: I can do this more or less at will; it gives me a distinct advantage when carrying out my gambits. Even I cannot guess how much of Asgardian history was shaped by me until I decide to go back and effect it- the disappearance of my foster grandfather, my own adoption and the death of Laufey, and who knows what else? All me, and I didn't even know it! |

* [[The Unfavorite]]: It has long been obvious to me that I am Odin's least-favourite son. With that said, [[Your Mileage May Vary|some would argue]] over whether I am correct or not, and if I am, whether I have brought it on myself with my...antics. |
