Loki is the mythical being of mischief in Norse mythology, a son of the giants Fárbauti and Laufey, and foster-brother of Odin. He is described as the "contriver of all fraud". He mixed freely with the gods for a long time, even becoming Odin's blood brother. Despite much research, "the figure of Loki remains obscure; there is no trace of a cult, and the name does not appear in place-names".^[1] In mythological terms, Loki is the god of mischief, sometimes he is referred to as the norse god of fire but this has only been accounted in rare cases. Sources inconsistently place him among the Æsir; however, this may only be due to his close relation with Odin and the amount of time that he spends among the Æsir (as opposed to his own kin). He is known as a giant being one of the enemies of the norse gods even killing some on such occasions.

Like Odin (though to a lesser extent), Loki bears many names : Lie-Smith, Sly-God, Shape-Changer, Sly-One, Lopt, Sky Traveller, Sky Walker, Wizard Of Lies, and Loftur among others.

The composer Richard Wagner presented Loki under an invented Germanized name Loge in his opera Das Rheingold--Loge is also mentioned, but does not appear as a character, in Die Walküre and Götterdämmerung. The name comes from the common mistranslation and confusion with Logi (a fire-giant), which has created the misconception of Loki being a creation of fire, having hair of fire or being associated with fire, like the Devil in Christianity.

 

You know that saying, "there's one in every family?" Well, it seems to be true of the gods, as well. In almost every pantheon, there is one god mischief, a trickster. Usually, he's got a real dark side, too, but sometimes he manages to save everyone. Often, his irresponsible actions, his tricks, or pranks have fortuitous results. As much as they hate the bucket of slops falling from over the door, or the occasionaly act of infidelity, they can't get by without him. This is no less true in the Norse tradition.

He's called "the Father of Monsters," because a few of his offspring are a bit on the scary side. He and his children figure prominently in the end of the world, in the Norse tradition, when he will fight against the gods, on the side of the giants. Blood is thicker than water.

One story goes that Loki was a foundling, that Odin found a child on the battlefield, (small for a giant's child) after a skirmish with a group of giants. He took the "god-size" child into his own home, to raise as a son. Being raised alongside Odin's most favored son, Thor, it should not be surprising that there should be some rivalry, between the two. More than once, Loki's actions would bring the wrath of the gods, down on his head, after which he would have to find some way to appease them.

Naturally, when Marvel Comics added Thor to their growing collection of heroes, in the '60s, Loki was a perfect villain. In mythology, one of Loki's pranks led to the creation of the treasures of the gods, Thor's hammer Mjolnir, Odin's spear Gungnir and others. In Marvel history, Loki's actions led to the creation of the Avengers, without whom the world might never have survived.

Loki's original costume, shows Jack Kirby's aesthetic, fairly simple, but with those horns, it's unmistakably Kirby. And, uh, yellow and green, the god of nausea?

One of the major themes in Norse mythology is an almost appressive fatalism. Odin hanged himself from the Yggdrasil, the World Tree, for nine d ays and sacrificed an eye, to gain a vision of the future. This future was immutable, every action fore-ordained, every life and death, until the day the reckoning, the final battle between the giants and the gods, Ragnarok. You can see why Odin might not be the life of the party, but you can also see why he might tend to overlook Loki's various trespasses against the Aesir. He's seen it, he knows every scheme, every prank, every piece of mischief, every world-beating plan that Loki will come up with. He knows whether they succeed or fail, and he knows, in the end, none of it matters.

I think this is what happens when an entire culture develops in a climate where, for 5 or 6 months of the year, the sun never comes up, a society afflicted with seasonal affective disorder, possibly. The cold, the damp, the darkness . . . it's no surprise these people came up with a morose and fatalistic religion.

Of course, Loki does not have Odin's foreknowledge, he is forced to play out his schemes, whether or not they have any chance of ultimate success.

In the 1980s, Thor went through a bit of a renaissance, as a title. Walt Simonson came in like a storm, with his unique art and writing style and his unmatched sense of humor. Simonson breathed new life into a floundering title. His love of Norse mythology let him take Thor in a new direction, even eliminating Thor's secret identity, the lame doctor, Donald Blake and intruducing a new Thunderer, the alien cyborg Beta Ray Bill. Simonson also revised Loki's attire, giving him a more "regal" look. He still wore yellow and green, as he did before, but it's definitely an improvement.

I like the overall look, but the circular cutouts seem a bit strange. Still, it'd be nice if the colors could change, but it's too late for that, now.

For my design, I tried to keep some of he lines of Simonson's design, keep that "regal" element, but remove some of the unwieldy bits, the giant horns, the sharp-cornered bits. While Loki tends to get his way through guile, he's still a warrior of Asgard, no matter which side he's destined to end up on, hence the sword and spear, the barbuta-style helm with the stylized dragon wings, and the armored pieces. As I said, it's too late to change the colors, but I decided on less garish shades, the advantages of computer coloring and modern printing techniques. We have more colors to play with, and the ability to consistently reproduce them.

Prankster, trickster, god of mischief, father of monsters and eventual betrayer of Asgard. Loki's not exactly a devil, but he's certainly no saint. Of all the mythological pantheons, the Norse gods were among the most human. Maybe that's why they're so appealing to readers.

The son of giants
Walks across the sky
To the gods a friend
Fathered beast and men

As a falcon he did fly
Far across the sky
To take back the hammer
Of thor his friend

He lives between the worlds
The world of gods and men

He is the god of fire
Burning higher
God of fire
Into the sky

The father of a wolf
And the serpent of the sea
The ruler of hell
A giant is he

To Odin he's a brother
A brother who is sly
One who changes shape
Who walks across the sky

He lives between the worlds
The world of gods and men

He is the god of fire
Burning higher
God of fire
Into the sky

God of fire
Burning higher
God of fire
Into the sky

Brother to Thor
And Odin god of war
Loki god of fire
Reigns for evermore

The father of a wolf
And the serpent of the sea
The ruler of hell
A giant is he

To Odin he's a brother
A brother who is sly
One who changes shape
Who walks across the sky
God of fire

Burning higher
God of fire
Into the sky

پسران غول ها
در آسمان قدم می زنند
نزدیک به دوست خدایان
دور از حیوانات وآدم ها
مانند یک شاهین پرواز می کنند
در بلندای آسمان
برای پس گرفتن قدرت
از کسی که دوست اوست

او بین چند دنیا زندگی می کند

بین دنیای خدایان و انسان ها
او خدای آتش است
اوج ها را در آسمان می سوزاند
پدرش گرگ و اهریمن دریا
فرمان روای جهنم
آن غول اوست
او برادر اودین است.اودین خدای جنگ...
و خود لاکی برادری است که شیطان است
کسی که شکل را عوض می کند
آن کسی که در آسمان قدم می زند

اودین خدای جنگ
و لاکی خدای آتش
که برای همیشه فرمان روایی می کنند.
