Line 19:
But I was not humbled yet. I bartered with other mortals and gave them power to fight this new team; I schemed with other villains- [[Card-Carrying Villain|for what am I if not a villain?]]- and sought to defeat Thor and his allies with their aid; and I worked, tirelessly still, to one day claim Odin's crown.
And after decades and centuries of planning and plots, I finally achieved my goal- and for my troubles, Thor brought about [[The End of the World
I did not seek the destruction of Asgard; I have ''never'' sought something [[Even Evil Has Standards|so terrible]], but Thor's actions freed us for the tyranny of [[Abusive Precursors|the Shadow gods]], and we were reborn.
Line 27:
I have become more...appreciative, of Thor my brother, for at least he, alone among the Aesir, treats me with trust and love. I now put my mind towards more...altruistic ends, and have assisted Thor and his friends in their hours of need- even if I am still more savvy about [[The Unfettered|how their principles sometimes get in the way of their own good.]] And still I work for the good of Asgard, the only true home I have ever known.
Until, of course, [[Depending
In recent times, a series of films were made that told the tales of [[Thor (
=== Tropes associated with Loki: ===
* [[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!"
* [[A Day in
* [[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?
Line 56:
* [[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
* [[Distaff Counterpart]]: I bear the dubious honor of being one of the few characters to become his ''own'' [[Distaff Counterpart]]. [[Earth X|Not for the first time, either.]]
* [[Do Not Adjust Your Set]] / [[Haunted Technology]]: I pulled this once on [[X
* [[Easily Forgiven]]: Thor and Odin ''always'' forgive me in the end and give me another chance. I used to be so convinced that they secretly hate me that I never took it.
** Though averted with my recent return as a child, Odin has apparently run out of patience with Thor being the only reason I have not been banished or killed. The ''only'' person who has forgiven me is Thor. Everyone else wants to kill me.
Line 66:
* [[The Evil Prince]]
* [[Evil Sorceror]]: My knowledge of the mystic arts is unparalled in all of Asgard, even though many mighty sorcerors and sorceresses make it their home.
* [[Mother of a Thousand Young|Father Of A Thousand Young]]: As [[Spider
* [[God of Evil|God of Mischief and Evil]]
* [[Hand Blast|Hand Blasts]]: Just in case you start thinking I'm all guile and manipulation...
Line 81:
* [[Mind Control]]: I have used this on [[The Incredible Hulk]] and various others, mortal and otherwise, with varying degrees of success. As an [[Evil Sorceror]], I can do it anytime, but how effective it is depends on the mind.
* [[My Species Doth Protest Too Much]]: Frost Giants are very big, very stupid, and typically [[Dumb Muscle]]. I am a brilliant schemer, a powerful sorcerer, and slightly shorter than Thor (the horns on my helmet notwithstanding) and fairly lean. While I am still very strong and durable, that is primarily in comparison to Earth superheroes/villains, not Asgardians and other Frost Giants.
* [[Nice Job Fixing It, Villain]]: I once schemed to pit Thor in a deadly battle against the Hulk, but [[Iron Man|some]] [[Ant
* [[Nigh Invulnerability]] As a small Frost giant I am as durable and strong as any average Aesir, though I am not naturally as durable as someone like Thor. Fortunately, as a sorceror, I do have ''super''natural durability as I have granted myself a range of advantages no other Aesir has- most Asgardians would be more bothered than I at the prospect of decapitation, for a start.
* [[Physical God]]
