Loki (Avengers: Earth's Mightiest Heroes)

**Loki** is the God of Mischief as well as the adoptive son of Odin and step-brother and arch-enemy of Thor. In the first season, he attempted to conquer all of the Nine Realms and destroy Thor and was responsible for the formation of the Avengers. He is the main antagonist of *The Avengers: Earth's Mightiest Heroes*.

He was voiced by Graham McTavish.

## His Qualities

### What Makes Him Entertaining?

* Loki used to be Thor's beloved brother and once had a genuine tragic backstory as it's stated that Odin stole him and killed his true father and treated him like a lesser being, although none of this holds up by the end of Season 1.
* He masterminded a season-long plan to keep Thor distracted on Earth while he conquered the remaining nine realms, stole the Odinforce, and put Odin in eternal slumber.
* When he possessed the Odinforce, he was easily able to overpower all of the Avengers and Asgardians, including Iron Man who now wore Uru Armor designed specifically to combat him.
* Without him, the Avengers would have never been formed, as it was because of the breakout he caused that the Avengers realized they needed to work together and became a team.

### What Makes Him Detestable?

* He's extremely petty as his whole motivation for his heinous actions is to prove himself as Thor's better, rejecting multiple chances at redemption out of petty spite.
* He's shown to be very sadistic as he tortures his own brother, Thor, gloating about his plan and how he's already won while pouring wine on him and blasting him with the Odinforce to keep him barely conscious. He also shatters Captain America's shield to break his spirit.
* He caused a breakout, releasing 75 supervillains from four super-prisons on Earth, just to distract Thor while he conquers the rest of the Nine realms, making Loki directly or indirectly responsible for the formation both of the Avengers and Masters of Evil as well as every villain the Avengers faced in season 1 (except Kang and the Kree).
* When he begins to lose control of the Odinforce and is warned by Thor that he could begin Ragnarok thus destroying all of the Nine Realms, he doesn't care and screams "so be it". In other words, he attempts to destroy the universe out of petty spite.
	+ It's worth noting that it's later revealed that Loki refused to associate himself with Surtur or use the Norn stone connected to his realm for the exact same reasons, making him a hypocrite and revealing that this was all out of pragmatism and fear of Surtur, not out of standards.
* He shows no care for anyone, not even other villains such as the Wrecking Crew (who he injures while in his Destroyer armor in a last attempt at destroying Thor, even though they could have helped him). It's even implied that he would have killed the Enchantress for failing him and only decided not to because her failure didn't matter to him.
* Overall, Loki is one of the most evil and heinous villains in the entire series, losing any redeeming and sympathetic qualities he may have once had and becoming a complete monster.
