Loki

Loki is a minifigure in the Marvel Super Heroes theme released in 2012.
==Description==
Loki's torso, legs and arms are dark stone grey, printed to resemble his armour in The Avengers. He wears a green cape (which is also used by The Mandarin) and a horned gold helmet. He wields a golden staff which is made up of two parts and his head is light nougat and printed with cheekbones and a stern expression.
His appearance is identical in LEGO Marvel Super Heroes, except the sai in his staff is replaced with a glowing blue jewel.
==Background==
===Comics===
The Marvel Comics version of Loki was the son and heir to the Frost Giant, King Laufey who was disdainful towards his son due to Loki having been born the size of an Asgardian. When Loki was only a child he witnessed his father be slain in battle by Odin who took pity on the young Frost Giant and adopted him as his own son.
In Asgard, Loki was very much ostracized for his lineage while being seen as weak and lesser due to his scrawny but intelligent nature, especially when compared to his step-brother Thor. This lead Loki to assume the moniker of "The God of Mischief" in order to satisfy his darker urges and feelings of invalidation but as the eras passed, Loki's schemes became far less playful and far more evil. Loki attempted to conquer Asgard on multiple occasions but ultimately he was imprisoned within a tree under the orders of Odin where the Trickster remained imprisoned for decades until he was freed during the 1970s.
After this, Loki became intent on destroying his brother and taking his father's thrown by whatever means necessary, even inadvertently forming the Avengers at one point.
===Marvel Cinematic Universe===
Loki was the adopted son of King Odin of Asgard. Odin raised Loki as his own, alongside his biological son Thor, however when Loki discovered his true heritage, he attempted to seize control of Asgard and kill Thor. However, Loki's plan failed, and he was forced into exile.
Some time later, Loki gained control of a Chitauri army through a deal with Thanos, and began an invasion on Earth. His first step was to seize control of the Tesseract, an Infinity Stone which was recovered by S.H.I.E.L.D. decades ago following a mission carried out by Captain America. After he gained control of the cube and took control of the minds of several S.H.I.E.L.D. personnel including Hawkeye, he put them to work on building a machine that would harness the power of the Cube open a portal between Earth and the Chitauri invasion fleet. He was briefly captured by S.H.I.E.L.D., but escaped and seemingly killed Agent Coulson.
However, the Avengers managed to thwart the Chitauri invasion, and Loki was defeated by The Hulk. Thor then took Loki and the Cube back to Asgard.
Thor later got Loki to help him stop Malekith and Algrim the Strong (now Kurse) to destroy the world with the Aether. When they went to the Dark Word, Kurse stabbed Loki, which killed him, but Loki triggered a grenade which sent Kurse into a Black hole. 
After Malekith was defeated, Thor reported to Odin that Loki died with honor, and then
when he walks away, it is revealed that Loki was disguised as Odin, and he is still alive.
Four years later, Thor found out that Loki was alive. They later returned to Midgard (Earth) in order to find Odin until he later passed away. Hela later shows up and exiled them on Sakaar. Loki later joined with the Revengers (leaded by Thor, Valkyrie, and Hulk) whom wanted to take revenge and in order to stop Hela's reign on Asgard, by unleahing Surtur to destroy Asgard and Hela, while everyone else escaped to another planet, Earth.
However, before he left Asgard Loki stole the Tesseeact from The Vault again. Thus eventually caused Thanos and the Black Order to track the refugees down and kill half of them as the rest were allowed to escape. With Loki, Thor, Hulk, and Heimdall being trapped in the captured section. Wanting the Tesseract, Thanos began to torture Thor with the Power Stone, until Loki told him to stop, revealing the Tesseract to the Mad Titan to Thor's anger for Loki stealing it. However it was a ruse as Loki cued Hulk to fight Thanos as he dropped the Tesseract to move Thor to saftey. But Hulk would lose, causing Heimdall to teleport Hulk to earth to warn the Avengers of Thanos' arrival, causing Thanos to kill him, and restrain and angry Thor again. After Retrieving the Tesseract from the ground, Thanos crushed it to put the Space Stone into the Infinity Gauntlet, and overhearing Thanos telling the Black Order the rest of the Infinity Stone strategy, Loki would offer his assistance and pledge loyalty to Thanos, to trick him into letting Loki to get close to stab him. However Thanos saw right through it and stopped the attack. Now angry, Thanos began to choke Loki while holding him above the ground. In his last moments, Loki would tell Thanos that he could never be a god, which made Thanos casually break Loki's neck, killing him for good.
To Thor's dismay, he crawled to Loki's corpse after Thanos left, as the ship began to combust. This eventually caused Thor to go on a quest to forge Stormbreaker to kill Thanos to take revenge on what he did to him. However because of Thor wanting Thanos to suffer, Thor avoided a killing blow for a slow painful one, allowing Thanos to successfully erase half of universal life with the Stones, and Thanos escaping. Eventually the remaining Avengers tracked Thanos down, planning on using the gauntlet to bring everyone back, but Thanos having no use for them anymore, destroyed the stones which resulted in him being more weakened. Now enraged Thor finally avenged Loki along with anyone else Thanos has killed by using Stormbreaker to decapitate Thanos.
5 years later, the Avengers with the help of other remaining heroes teamed up to do a Time Heist to steal the Infinity Stones from the past to bring everyone back. However, as they did, they caught the attention of a past version of Thanos, who decided to steal the stones from them and remake the universe as he saw fit. The Avengers would successfully bring the missing half back to life, and all of then fought Thanos and his army, until Tony Stark used the stones one last time to erase Thanos and his army, again avenging Thanos' victims and ensuring that he would never return.

During the Time Heist the Avengers came to New York 2012, to steal the Space, Time, and Mind Stone, during the battle of New York. As the battle ended and the still evil Loki was secured along with the Stones the Avengers tried to create a diversion by stopping Tony's Arc Reactor, allowing Ant-Man to kick the Tesseract to the future Tony, with only Loki realizing that something was happening, eventually the past version of Hulk accidentally smacked the Tesseract from Stark and to Loki's feet, who without hesitation stole it and used it to teleport to Mongolia. After breaking his restraints Loki attempted to conquer the Mongolians, but the Time Variance Authority along with Hunter B-15 arrived to take a confused Loki in for breaking the Sacred Timeline.
After going through a confusing process from the TVA, Loki would be taught by the mascot Miss Minutes about the Time Keepers who created the Sacred Timeline to stop a destructive Multiversal war, while the TVA made sure a branch in it would become an alternative universe. Loki would be put on trial by Ravonna Renslayer, where she explained how while the Avengers were supposed to do the Time Heist, Loki wasn't supposed to escape, which is why he was taken in and was set to be erased, frightening Loki. However another Agent Mobius M. Mobius asked if he could convince Loki to help them with tracking down a dangerous Variant. During his questioning with Loki, Mobius revealed how Loki would eventually cause Frigga's death, interrogate him how he has caused constant pain and death. Eventually fulling Loki to escape the TVA with the Tesseract, however as he found it, Loki realized how powerful the TVA is after he saw how they had collected many Infinity Stones even using them as office supplies. Loki returned to his interrogation room, and watching the rest of his life to his death by Thanos. Eventually Loki decides to stay and help the TVA find the Variant after learning that it was a version of Loki.
Eventually Loki, Mobius, and Hunter B-15 would successfully track the Variant by apocalyptic events that would destroy all traces of a branch before it created a universe and met the Variant who is a female named Sylvie Laufeydottir, who caused chaos in the TVA by unleashing reset charges across time, causing many branches where the TVA would try to erase the branches, causing Sylvie to infiltrate the TVA office to attack the Time Keepers, with Loki closely following her. Eventually the two Lokis clashed causing them to be trapped on apocalyptic event of a planet that was about to be destroyed by it's own moon, causing the two to team up to try to escape the planet. Eventually Sylvie told Loki how the TVA workers were all Variants that were brainwashed into workers, and explained how she wanted to take them down so they wouldn't destroy anymore livelihoods like she had. Unfortunately before they were able to escape the shuttle that was supposed to get them off planet was destroyed, causing Loki and Sylvie to bond and began to fall in love, causing a branch so powerful that the TVA came to arrest them again.
While detained Loki tried to explain everything to Mobius, who also made Loki realized how he really felt for Sylvie. Despite Mobius trying to convince himself that Loki was lying again, he eventually found evidence of Loki telling the truth and tried to help them escape, only for Mobius to be pruned by Judge Ravonna Renslayer in front of Loki, who escorted both Loki and Sylvie to the Time-Keepers for judgement. However Sylvie had also caused Hunter B-15 to realize the truth also, and went against the TVA by giving Loki and Sylvie weapons to fight the guards as Sylvie beheaded the lead Time-Keeper, only to realize that the Time-Keepers were robots being controlled by an unknown third-party. Trying to comfort Sylvie, who was confused and enraged that the head of the TVA was still out there, Loki attempted to tell her his feelings to her, but Renslayer used a pruning stick on Loki, erasing him.
However Loki was not killed but was teleported to the Void at the end of time. Where whatever the TVA had pruned ended up at. Confused Loki was woken up to it by alternative Variants of himself, a Kid Loki, a Alligator Loki, and big Boastful Loki, and an older Classic Loki, who advised that they run from the creature Alioth who was made to devour whatever or whoever was sent to the Void. While hiding in Kid Loki's hideout, the Lokis would explain to Loki how they got there, as Loki told them about his and Sylvie's mission, before trying to depart to try to find a way out of the Void only to end up in a minute power play by President Loki, Boastful Loki, and President Loki's men, with Loki, Classic, Alligator, and Kid Loki made a break for it. Eventually Loki would be met by Mobius and Sylvie, who had teleported herself there with a TVA device to allow them to get out. But knowing that they still needed to find the TVA head, Loki and Sylvie realized that Alioth also served as a gate to the head. And so Loki and Sylvie decided to use they're powers to make Alioth take them to the head, while Mobius would successfully return to the TVA, free Hunter B-15, confront Renslayer and reveal the truth to the TVA workers. As Loki and Sylvie needed more time to enchant Alioth Classic Loki would sacrifice himself by distracting it by an illusion of Asgard, allowing Loki and Sylvie to infiltrate Alioth into the Citadel at the End of Time.
While there, both Lokis were confronted by Miss Minutes who told them that they were about to meet He Who Remains, and offered on his behalf them to be taken to universes that they could do whatever they wanted without interference from the TVA, but they declined, causing Minutes to disappear, and He Who Remains to finally arrive.
