inconceivable" foe, from

http://i388.photobucket.com/albums/...Avengers115.jpgMephisto himself considers Loki as being "

Avengers #1:
http://i388.photobucket.com/albums/...02Avengers1.jpgHow fast is the "

Journey Into Mystery #107:
http://i388.photobucket.com/albums/...wer01JIM107.jpgDespite being in astral form which reduces the amount of magical power to only a fraction, Loki's great power still exceeds that of the then-Master of the Mystic Arts, Dr. Strange, from
Strange Tales #123:

Avengers #118 and 119:
http://i388.photobucket.com/albums/...Avengers118.jpghttp://i388.photobucket.com/albums/...Avengers119.jpgExcept it was all a ruse. Loki had replaced his seemingly catatonic form with that of a child, who had remained behind for months in Loki's place.

http://i388.photobucket.com/albums/...yAvengers21.jpghttp://i388.photobucket.com/albums/...yAvengers23.jpgAgain, it bears repeating that when fully manifesting physically, Loki's magical power increases from the fraction it is when in astral form, from
Avengers: The Origin #3:
http://i388.photobucket.com/albums/...sTheOrigin3.jpgHere, Apocalypse's Celestial draining machines fail to contain Loki.

Deadpool #34:
http://i388.photobucket.com/albums/...4Deadpool34.jpg VIII. BLAST POWER
Loki's magical power is also made evident by the force he can bring to bear offensively. Here, Loki's astral form nearly destroys the protective mystic shield conjured by Dr. Strange's Amulet of Agamotto with his mystic blasts in Strange Tales #123:
http://i388.photobucket.com/albums/...ngeTales123.jpg

Here, Thor with the power of Loki, uses a force-field bubble to transport Loki away in Thor #181:

Loki's force-fields have protected him from the Disir's wrath in pitched battle, from Siege: Loki #1:
http://i388.photobucket.com/albums/...4SiegeLoki1.jpg
X. EMPOWERMENTThe magnitude of Loki's magical power can also be measured by the villains he has personally created and the power he has bestowed upon both heroes and villains. He has granted them godly abilities, amplified pre-existing abilities exponentially, provided them life and created villains entirely from scratch with his magic.
ABSORBING MANLoki's sorcery concocted a potion which imbued Crusher Creel with the ability to absorb anything, from
Journey Into Mystery #114:

Despite what the first scene of his creation suggests, it is not by the power of the Odinring which grants Durok life but Loki's own power.

thousand times." Before, Sandu was merely capable of figuring out what lay in people's pockets. Afterwards, he is capable of forcing Thor to his knees, levitate and teleport entire buildings, and use world-wide telepathy which Professor Xavier describes as "
unfathomable." Originally presented in

Tales To Astonish vol.2 #1:
http://i388.photobucket.com/albums/...9-CaineTTA1.jpg XI. LOKI'S POWERS
Loki's sorcery grants him a host of personal powers which make him one of the most dangerous and versatile villains in comics. The following are some of Loki's signature powers.
COPIES

Despite being used seldomly, one of Loki's most enduring signature powers is the ability to create copies of himself in battle. These copies were not illusions but actual physical copies. He first uses them in Avengers #1:
http://i388.photobucket.com/albums/...01Avengers1.jpg
In one of Loki's most epic battles, Loki uses these copies to stall Surtur, the Fire Demon, himself in Thor #353:
http://i388.photobucket.com/albums/...Copies02353.jpg
The number of copies he can create is illustrated here in a re-presentation of one of his fights against Thor in Avengers: The Origin #3:
http://i388.photobucket.com/albums/...sTheOrigin3.jpg
ILLUSIONS
The God of Lies using illusions is pretty much axiomatic. Here, he uses an illusion of Thor on a hypnotized Thor himself in Journey Into Mystery#85:
http://i388.photobucket.com/albums/...ions01JIM85.jpg
He uses a simple illusion of the Hulk on Thor again to draw him away from the rest of the Avengers in Avengers #1:
http://i388.photobucket.com/albums/...02Avengers1.jpg
Loki's illusions can be gigantic as he fools Surtur with an illusion of the Eternal Flame in Thor #353:
http://i388.photobucket.com/albums/...usions03353.jpg
He's used them in the heat of battle to maneuver Beta Ray Bill into the position Loki wants him in Thor #441:
http://i388.photobucket.com/albums/...usions05441.jpg
Loki's illusions are not static either. He can make the most unfortunate Thunderstrike look like Xemnu to She-Hulks eyes throughout a fight inThunderstrike #21:
http://i388.photobucket.com/albums/...derstrike21.jpg
http://i388.photobucket.com/albums/...Illusions07.jpg
Loki's illusions are so adept they have even fooled and manipulated the wise Odin who does not discern their sinister origins, from Thor vol.3 #12:
http://i388.photobucket.com/albums/...sions08v312.jpg
CLOAKING
Loki's subterfuge is also served well by his magical ability to render himself completely invisible and undetectable through the use of Norn spells. Obviously, mere humans cannot detect Loki in Thor #153:
http://i388.photobucket.com/albums/...sibility153.jpg
Balder, Thor and Sif cannot detect his invisible form while walking right past him in Thor: Son of Asgard #3:
http://i388.photobucket.com/albums/...onofAsgard3.jpg
Loki has supreme control over his invisibility such that he can pick and choose who can see and who cannot see him, from Godstorm #1:
http://i388.photobucket.com/albums/...nvisibility.jpg
His shroud of invisibility keeps him invisible from even Mephisto in his own realm (although he otherwise senses a stranger's presence) in Thor vol.2 #19:
http://i388.photobucket.com/albums/...ibilityv219.jpg
PHASING
The versatility by which Loki can phase makes him one of the more superior phasing characters in comics. Loki can dimensionally phase as he saves his enchanted sword from shattering by Mjolnir in Journey Into Mystery #115:
http://i388.photobucket.com/albums/...ing01JIM115.jpg
Here, Loki effects a molecular phase to save Thor from the Destroyer in Journey Into Mystery #119. Note also the vast range he possesses as Loki's all the way in Asgard and Thor's on Earth:
http://i388.photobucket.com/albums/...ing02JIM119.jpg
Loki can instantly phase his own body to avoid being struck by a thrown Mjolnir, from Thor #191:
http://i388.photobucket.com/albums/...hasing03191.jpg
His ability to phase appears to be as effortless as it is instantaneous as he comfortably phases between panels in Thor #397:
http://i388.photobucket.com/albums/...hasing04397.jpg
Loki's phased state does not prevent him from casting spells either while remaining in a phased state as he contemplates here in Thor #397 and actually does so in Thor #398 where he magically gifts half his strength to Thor and teleports away:
http://i388.photobucket.com/albums/...kiPhasing05.jpg
http://i388.photobucket.com/albums/...ansfer03398.jpg
A horde of Doombot's miniature energy sappers do not present even a nuisance to a phased Loki in Siege: The Cabal #1:
http://i388.photobucket.com/albums/...geTheCabal1.jpg
Loki can phase others along with himself, from Siege #1:
http://i388.photobucket.com/albums/...ing08Siege1.jpg
XII. METAMORPHOSISSHAPE-SHIFTING
Loki's shape-shifting abilities are, pardon the pun, godly. Here, he shape-shifts into a snake that escapes even Heimdall's notice in
Journey Into Mystery #88:
http://i388.photobucket.com/albums/...ting01JIM88.jpgLoki prefers to shape-shift into all sorts of animals. He's transformed into a pigeon, a rat, a raven, a sting ray, a fish, etc. From
Journey Into Mystery #88,
Thor #274,
Thor Annual #11 and
Loki #4 respectively:
http://i388.photobucket.com/albums/...eshifting02.jpghttp://i388.photobucket.com/albums/...ifting07274.jpghttp://i388.photobucket.com/albums/...g08Annual11.jpghttp://i388.photobucket.com/albums/...ting19Loki4.jpgIt isn't just critters that Loki can transform into but also great winged dragons, from
Marvel Fanfare #37:
http://i388.photobucket.com/albums/...elFanfare37.jpgHe can also shift from an animal form directly into tiny insect forms such as a moth, from
Thor Annual #11:
http://i388.photobucket.com/albums/...eshifting09.jpgHe's also become a bee in
Journey Into Mystery #108:
http://i388.photobucket.com/albums/...ing04JIM108.jpgHe can shape-shift from insect form directly into a simulcrum of Thor, from
Thor Annual #5:
http://i388.photobucket.com/albums/...eshifting07.jpgHis Thor disguise is so effective it fools the Lady Sif in
Thor #338:
http://i388.photobucket.com/albums/...ifting11338.jpgLoki can still cast spells in his shape-shifted form. Here, as a fly, Loki casts a spell of silence, from
Thor #365:
http://i388.photobucket.com/albums/...nceSpell365.jpgHe's also fooled many Asgardians with his shape-shifting like the Vizier in
Thor vol.2 #16:
http://i388.photobucket.com/albums/...fting14v216.jpgHe's fooled even Odin himself with his disguises, from
Thor Annual #14:
http://i388.photobucket.com/albums/...g12Annual14.jpghttp://i388.photobucket.com/albums/...fting14v216.jpgAnd as you might suspect, keen mutant senses like Wolverine's are useless for detecting Loki's disguise in
Wolverine: Wendigo #1:
http://i388.photobucket.com/albums/...ineWendigo1.jpgObviously, Loki's shape-shifting serves him well for purposes of subterfuge. However, Loki can and has challenged foes physically in battles with his shape-shifting, as he does here with Thor himself in a dizzying (and brutal) array of shape-shifting in
Loki #4:
http://i388.photobucket.com/albums/...eshifting20.jpgSIZE-SHIFTINGAs a descendant of Frost Giants, it makes sense that Loki can grow to greater sizes to combat his foes, as he does here against the poor Lady Sif in
Thor #191:
http://i388.photobucket.com/albums/...ifting02191.jpgLoki can achieve literally gigantic proportions as in
X-Men/Alpha Flight #2:
http://i388.photobucket.com/albums/...lphaFlight2.jpgLoki's powers also permit him to shrink his body to nothingness, a ploy which Thor (trapped in Loki's body) uses to expose his soul in
Thor #181:
http://i388.photobucket.com/albums/...ifting01181.jpgLoki can even shrink others with his magic as he does with, ironically, a Frost Giant, in
Thor #308:
http://i388.photobucket.com/albums/...ifting03308.jpg XIII. CLAIRVOYANCE

Loki's ability to perceive events from afar is nearly unparalleled. Even imprisoned on Asgard, he can concentrate and spy on his hated stepbrother on Earth, from Journey Into Mystery #92:
http://i388.photobucket.com/albums/...sion01JIM92.jpg
Loki does not require a personal connection to his target either. Simply by willing it, he can track targets he has never met... even when they manifest in disguised forms, as with Ghost Rider in the form of Danny Ketch, from Thor #430:
http://i388.photobucket.com/albums/...Vision07430.jpg
Loki doesn't even need to concentrate on a specific target. From the Isle of Silence, Loki can scan the entire planet and have significant figures come into view, from Avengers #300 and re-presented in Avengers: The Origin #1:
http://i388.photobucket.com/albums/...Avengers300.jpg
http://i388.photobucket.com/albums/...sTheOrigin1.jpg
http://i388.photobucket.com/albums/...okiVision12.jpg
In another instance of wide-range scanning, Loki comes across a convenient pawn, the Absorbing Man, from Mighty Avengers #32:
http://i388.photobucket.com/albums/...yAvengers32.jpg
On an even greater macro scale, Loki can scan an entire universe for significant events that reveal themselves, like when he was trapped in the Ultraverse and discovers that the Infinity Gems have arrived, from Hardcase #23:
http://i388.photobucket.com/albums/...8Hardcase23.jpg
His point of view can also be scaled down to a more intimate third-person view. Here, he focuses on Rick Jones, from Avengers: The Origin #1:
http://i388.photobucket.com/albums/...okiVision13.jpg
Loki can further scale his vision down to the micro-scale and perceive objects as tiny as DNA, from Thor: First Thunder #3:
http://i388.photobucket.com/albums/...rstThunder3.jpg
Loki's clairvoyance extends to the temporal. Simply by concentrating, he can see a target's past as he does with Silver Surfer, from Silver Surfer#4:
http://i388.photobucket.com/albums/...lverSurfer4.jpg
Loki doesn't even require a living target for such temporal visions. Here, Loki draws forth visions of past events that occurred within a room from one of the room's walls, from Thor #379:
http://i388.photobucket.com/albums/...Vision05379.jpg
Loki can share his visions with others as well. Here, he uses a Crystal of Vision to ensorcel a lake, from Thor #375:
http://i388.photobucket.com/albums/...Vision04375.jpg
Loki does not require magical items though as he ensorcels a pond to show Thor a number of events, from Domination Factor #6:
http://i388.photobucket.com/albums/...tionFactor6.jpg
http://i388.photobucket.com/albums/...okiVision10.jpg
He can also reveal visions while in astral form, from Thor #382:
http://i388.photobucket.com/albums/...Vision06382.jpg
XIV. TELEPORTATION
Physical boundaries are meaningless to Loki as he has the magical ability to teleport. "
Faster than the brain can comprehend," Loki can teleport the Absorbing Man to and from desolate places, from
Journey Into Mystery #122:
http://i388.photobucket.com/albums/...ion02JIM122.jpgA handy maneuver, Loki can even switch his own location with another's instantly, from
Thor: God-Sized #1:
http://i388.photobucket.com/albums/...8God-Sized1.jpgLoki can also pull multiple people from multiple locations simultaneously, from
Mighty Avengers #21:
http://i388.photobucket.com/albums/...portation31.jpghttp://i388.photobucket.com/albums/...yAvengers23.jpgLoki's physical presence is not required as Loki's astral form can banish the cosmically powered Silver Surfer (no stranger to spatial powers himself) back to Earth, from
Silver Surfer #4:
http://i388.photobucket.com/albums/...lverSurfer4.jpgIn fact, his astral form does not even need to be present. Even from afar, Loki can pull the Hulk from Earth and place him in Asgard, from
Tales To Astonish #101:
http://i388.photobucket.com/albums/...ion04TTA101.jpgThe range of his teleportation is apparently limitless. He can easily send the Human Torch to Jotunheim in
Thor: First Thunder #5:
http://i388.photobucket.com/albums/...rstThunder5.jpgHere Loki sends the Wrecker to another dimension in
Thor #431:
http://i388.photobucket.com/albums/...tation23431.jpgHere, he teleports Jane Foster back from Limbo to the field of battle, from
Journey Into Mystery #108 and re-presented in
Avengers #107:
http://i388.photobucket.com/albums/...ion01JIM108.jpghttp://i388.photobucket.com/albums/...Avengers107.jpgHere he summons an enchanted axe from Limbo, from
Thor #275:
http://i388.photobucket.com/albums/...tation12275.jpgHe can even teleport to the Nexus of Realities (disguised as Dr. Strange), from
Domination Factor #5:
http://i388.photobucket.com/albums/...tionFactor5.jpgLoki's specific methods for teleportation are varied. He can gesture with his hands and send the X-Men away in a flash, from
Uncanny X-Men Annual #9:
http://i388.photobucket.com/albums/...6UXMAnnual9.jpgHe can zap his targets with spells from his hands (as can his astral form), from
Thor #176 and 191 respectively:
http://i388.photobucket.com/albums/...tation05173.jpghttp://i388.photobucket.com/albums/...tation07191.jpgLoki can create a doorway to pass through as in
Thor #375 and as in
Siege: Loki #1:
http://i388.photobucket.com/albums/...tation17375.jpghttp://i388.photobucket.com/albums/...9SiegeLoki1.jpgLoki can also simply will teleportation, as he does here in a flash away from the Red Skull in
Thor Annual #5, and as he does here in a wisp of smoke away from Seth in
Thor #397:
http://i388.photobucket.com/albums/...nAmerica365.jpghttp://i388.photobucket.com/albums/...tation19397.jpgLoki's ability to teleport others simply by willing it is demonstrated here when he frees Juggernaut in
Thor #411 and teleports Dr. Doom away from Thor's wrath in
Thor #606:
http://i388.photobucket.com/albums/...tation21411.jpghttp://i388.photobucket.com/albums/...tation37606.jpgLoki can also teleport to destinations while keeping completely cloaked, from
Godstorm #1 and
Avengers: The Origin #2 respectively:
http://i388.photobucket.com/albums/...27Godstorm1.jpghttp://i388.photobucket.com/albums/...gersOrigin2.jpgThose he teleport with him can also be kept cloaked and protected upon arrival, from
Siege #1:
http://i388.photobucket.com/albums/...ion38Siege1.jpg XV. TEMPORAL/ENERGY MANIPULATIONTEMPORAL MANIPULATIONLoki has even surpassed the boundaries of the temporal. The first time Loki time-traveled was when Zarrko, the Tomorrow Man, pulls him into his relative future to battle the Thor Corps. At the climax of the battle, Loki is stranded in the time stream but is able to travel back in time to his proper past, as revealed in Thor #454: http://i388.photobucket.com/albums/...meTravel454.jpgDomination Factor, an entire 8-part miniseries starring the Avengers and the Fantastic Four from 2000, revolved around the heroes and Loki gallivanting throughout time. Towards the beginning of the story, Loki (disguised as Dr. Strange) first demonstrates the ability to remain immune to a time freeze caused by the splitting of Knorda's Apple. Not only that, he protects the heroes as well from the time-freeze as shown in Domination Factor #1-2: http://i388.photobucket.com/albums/...tionFactor1.jpghttp://i388.photobucket.com/albums/...tionFactor2.jpghttp://i388.photobucket.com/albums/...tionFactor1.jpgThe time-freeze is literally world-wide, yet Loki's temporal spells can cancel that effect out over an entire area, here, Praxis headquarters in the Swiss Alps, from Domination Factor #6: http://i388.photobucket.com/albums/...tionFactor6.jpgLoki would eventually draw upon the chronal energies within the Harbingers of Everlasting Winter to send the heroes' astral forms back into the past, fooled into retrieving the time-lost pieces of Knorda's Apple in the past in Domination Factor #2 and as recounted in Domination Factor #8: http://i388.photobucket.com/albums/...tionFactor2.jpghttp://i388.photobucket.com/albums/...tionFactor8.jpgLoki's control over the chronal energies permitted him to ensorcel the heroes' astral forms such that upon contact with a piece of Knorda's Apple, they would automatically be brought back to the Nexus of Realities, in Domination Factor #5: http://i388.photobucket.com/albums/...-TimeTravel.jpgAs most time-travel stories will do, the altered time-stream is eventually set aright by the end of the story. Yet, unlike all the heroes who can recall only vague feelings of deja vu, Loki retains his full memories of the entire ordeal. Indeed, it is revealed that he was aware of the entire time paradox from the beginning (though how that is, is never quite fully explained), from Domination Factor #8: http://i388.photobucket.com/albums/...-TimeTravel.jpg His ability to effect time-travel and somehow be aware of a time paradox from the beginning is again demonstrated when Hela helped him time-travel where he manipulated events in his own past as revealed in Thor vol.3 #12: http://i388.photobucket.com/albums/...eTravelv212.jpgFinally, similar to what he did with the Harbingers of of Everlasting Winter, Loki's used the powers of the enchanted Sverosorg, the Sorrowsword to draw forth the present versions of heroes into the relative past, from I Am An Avenger #1-4: http://i388.photobucket.com/albums/...mAnAvenger1.jpghttp://i388.photobucket.com/albums/...-TimeTravel.jpghttp://i388.photobucket.com/albums/...mAnAvenger3.jpghttp://i388.photobucket.com/albums/...-TimeTravel.jpghttp://i388.photobucket.com/albums/...mAnAvenger4.jpgENERGY MANIPULATIONLoki's magic permits him to manipulate energy. In Avengers #1, he diverts radio waves (and their wavelength) directly to Donald Blake: http://i388.photobucket.com/albums/...00Avengers1.jpgLoki also famously converted his entire physical form into a dangerously radioactive energy at the end of Avengers #1. As retold in Avengers: The Origin #3, Iron Man's sensors can't even identify what energy he's become: http://i388.photobucket.com/albums/...02Avengers1.jpghttp://i388.photobucket.com/albums/...sTheOrigin3.jpgThor stuck in Loki's form used Loki's magicks to drain and divert electricity to stun Balder, from Thor #179: http://i388.photobucket.com/albums/...lation03179.jpgLoki's even gone so far as channel the dark energies of a dimension in Avengers #400: http://i388.photobucket.com/albums/...Avengers400.jpgEven from afar, Loki can completely drain the power from Project Pegasus to allow the Absorbing Man to escape in Mighty Avengers #32: http://i388.photobucket.com/albums/...yAvengers32.jpgHere, Loki effectively reverses the polarity of Susan Storm's invisible force-fields, from Thor: First Thunder #5: http://i388.photobucket.com/albums/...rstThunder5.jpg __________________

 | | XVI. MATTER MANIPULATIONUtilizing his sorcery, Loki is actually one of the more superior matter manipulators amongst Marvel villains (or heroes). ANIMATIONHe can animate trees to do his bidding and attack Thor, from Journey Into Mystery #92 and in Domination Factor #4: http://i388.photobucket.com/albums/...tion02JIM92.jpghttp://i388.photobucket.com/albums/...tionFactor4.jpgHe animates trees again to attack the Avengers in West Coast Avengers #55: http://i388.photobucket.com/albums/...tAvengers55.jpgHe's brought the Sphinx, the Empire State Building and statues to life in Journey Into Mystery #94: http://i388.photobucket.com/albums/...tion03JIM94.jpgLoki animates the famous stone lions of the New York Public Library and the famous Wall Street Bull to attack Thor in Thor: First Thunder #2: http://i388.photobucket.com/albums/...rstThunder2.jpghttp://i388.photobucket.com/albums/...Animation09.jpgHe can mold and animate the ground into gigantic hands to crush Thor in West Coast Avengers #55: http://i388.photobucket.com/albums/...Animation05.jpgAt times, what Loki animates apparently grows in strength in direct proportion to his target victim. Thor struggles against " mere tangle roots" in Domination Factor #6: http://i388.photobucket.com/albums/...tionFactor6.jpgAnd in a similar display, Loki animates mere machine wires to seize Masterson Thor's arm in Thor #441: http://i388.photobucket.com/albums/...mation06441.jpgEven in his youth, Loki was able to ensorcel a heap of tree leaves and animate them into horse forms for Thor, Balder and Sif to ride in Thor: Son of Asgard #5: http://i388.photobucket.com/albums/...onofAsgard5.jpgTRANSMUTATIONLoki has a much greater affinity and demonstrated capacity to completely transmute matter. Here he transmutes his attire into human clothing in Journey Into Mystery #85: http://i388.photobucket.com/albums/...tion01JIM85.jpgThe ease with which he does this is demonstrated here in mid-battle against Apocalypse and Thor respectively in X-Factor #50 and Thor: First Thunder #2: http://i388.photobucket.com/albums/...7X-Factor50.jpghttp://i388.photobucket.com/albums/...smutation29.jpgHe's transmuted Storm's clothing into a raiment befitting a goddess in New Mutants Special Edition #1: http://i388.photobucket.com/albums/...ialEdition1.jpg He can even transmute the local area as he pleases. Here he turns buildings into candy and cars into ice cream in Journey Into Mystery #88: http://i388.photobucket.com/albums/...smutation05.jpgWhen stuck in the Ultraverse dimension, Loki transformed Lord Pumpkin's entire base of operations, Vahdala, into a hideout of his own liking in Necromanta/Lord Pumpkin #1: http://i388.photobucket.com/albums/...ordPumpkin1.jpgHe takes the mystical Roc's Egg and fashions a ring from it. This astounds Lord Pumpkin because the Roc's Egg is attuned to him personally. As seen in Necromanta/Lord Pumpkin #1: http://i388.photobucket.com/albums/...mutation17b.jpghttp://i388.photobucket.com/albums/...mutation17c.jpgHe similarly takes the Chief Disir crown and fashions it into a ring in Siege: Loki #1: http://i388.photobucket.com/albums/...3SiegeLoki1.jpgHe's even had rifles and bazookas sprout wings in Journey Into Mystery #88: http://i388.photobucket.com/albums/...smutation06.jpgIn one of his more impressively complicated transmutation feats, Loki was responsible for the combining and creation of the infamous Tri-Sentinel at the conclusion to Acts of Vengeance in Amazing Spider-Man #329: http://i388.photobucket.com/albums/...piderman329.jpgIn Thor's experience, it is only Loki who could transmute a simple cloud into an actual dragon in Journey Into Mystery #92: http://i388.photobucket.com/albums/...tion07JIM92.jpgFrom thin air he's conjured up a small statue of Storm to remember her by in New Mutants Special Edition #1: http://i388.photobucket.com/albums/...3UXMAnnual9.jpgHe can do more obviously. He's taken thin air and created a gigantic golden statue of himself in Thor #193: http://i388.photobucket.com/albums/...smutation10.jpgHe's also just transmuted gold to bribe trolls with in Thor Annual #14: http://i388.photobucket.com/albums/...15Annuall14.jpgHe's also able to affect living matter. Here, he transmutes a tree into a living tiger in Journey Into Mystery #88: http://i388.photobucket.com/albums/...tion03JIM88.jpgHe transmutes simple spiders into gigantic monster spiders in Son of Asgard #1: http://i388.photobucket.com/albums/...onofAsgard1.jpgLoki's cursed simple rats into becoming gigantic dire rats in Thor #382: http://i388.photobucket.com/albums/...29-DireRats.jpgEven Loki's astral form can transform a small lizard ito a fearsome dragon in Thor #401: http://i388.photobucket.com/albums/...tation14401.jpgHere in a bout of unadulterated mischief, he transforms people into negative forms in Journey Into Mystery #85: http://i388.photobucket.com/albums/...smutation02.jpgHe's transmuted human beings into blank forms in Journey Into Mystery #88: http://i388.photobucket.com/albums/...smutation04.jpgHere (s)he takes a grubby human's hand and transmutes it into glass in Thor vol.3 12: http://i388.photobucket.com/albums/...ation21v312.jpgShowing the depths of Loki's mischievous cruelty, we see human victims turned into stone, glass, their innards removed and skin robbed -- yet somehow still alive - in Thor: First Thunder #2: http://i388.photobucket.com/albums/...rstThunder2.jpgLoki's even reduced Jane Foster into a shriveled old hag, from Thor: First Thunder #5: http://i388.photobucket.com/albums/...rstThunder5.jpgHe can even transmute the forms of Asgardians. He's transformed a giant into a falcon and back in Journey Into Mystery #115: http://i388.photobucket.com/albums/...ion08JIM115.jpgHe cruelly reduces Balder to a hideous lizard form and restores him in Thor #193: http://i388.photobucket.com/albums/...tation09193.jpghttp://i388.photobucket.com/albums/...smutation11.jpgHe's turned an innocent Asgardian citizen into a goat in Marvel Fanfare #35: http://i388.photobucket.com/albums/...elFanfare35.jpgHere he goes one step further and transforms the goat-form into a walking stick and back in Marvel Fanfare #36: http://i388.photobucket.com/albums/...elFanfare36.jpgLoki's cruelty isn't just reserved for heroes and innocents. Remember those Harbingers of Everlasting Winter? Yeah, they were fashioned from these treacherous Mountain Giants by Loki in Domination Facto #6: http://i388.photobucket.com/albums/...tionFactor6.jpgHere, he transforms the sorcerous Lord Pumpkin into a living scarecrow, from Necromanta/Lord Pumpkin #1: http://i388.photobucket.com/albums/...mutation17D.jpgLoki's most impressive transmutation feat though? Transmuting Odin's father, Bor, into snow as shown in Thor vol.3 #7 and #12: http://i388.photobucket.com/albums/...tation20v37.jpghttp://i388.photobucket.com/albums/...smutation22.jpg __________________

 | | XVII. PSIONIC ABILITIESASTRAL FORM Loki is also a formidable psionic. And as any psionic worth their salt is wont to do, he can utilize an astral form. As shown before and later in this thread, Loki can utilize all his abilities while in astral form, although his power is not as potent while in that form as introduced in Strange Tales#123: http://i388.photobucket.com/albums/...ngeTales123.jpgLoki's been able to use his astral form since childhood, as he does here to travel to Muspelheim in Thor #400: http://i388.photobucket.com/albums/...alForm06400.jpgLoki's astral form allows him to perfectly reconnoiter his targets while remaining undetectable, from Domination Factor #8: http://i388.photobucket.com/albums/...tionFactor8.jpgAlthough he is imprisoned, his astral form can wander about freely, from Thor #276: http://i388.photobucket.com/albums/...alForm04276.jpgImprisonment, even banishment to the Isle of Silence, doesn't stop Loki from freely using his astral form, from Avengers: The Origin #2: http://i388.photobucket.com/albums/...gersOrigin2.jpgEven when imprisoned by the All-Father Odin in an inert statue form in deep space, Loki can use his astral form to remain free in mind, if not in body. From Thor Annual #2: http://i388.photobucket.com/albums/...rm02Annual2.jpgDespite massive interference, like Chthon's Chaos Cascade, Loki's astral form can still wander about freely, from Mighty Avengers #21 and 23: http://i388.photobucket.com/albums/...yAvengers21.jpghttp://i388.photobucket.com/albums/...yAvengers23.jpgIn terms of traveling speed, his astral form extends from Asgard to Earth in less than a blink of an eye in Thor #379: http://i388.photobucket.com/albums/...alForm05379.jpgEven more impressively, while his body remains in Asgard, his astral form travels instantly to the Skrull galaxy where he passes a mental suggestion to the Super Skrull to return to Earth in Thor #142: http://i388.photobucket.com/albums/...alForm03142.jpgLoki has often used his astral form to take control of other people's bodies. Here he takes control of an unconscious Jake Olson in Thor Annual#21: http://i388.photobucket.com/albums/...m11Annual21.jpgHis targets don't have to be unconscious. Here he takes control of War Machine in Thor vol.2 #18: http://i388.photobucket.com/albums/...lForm10v218.jpgEven in the instant his body is totally destroyed, Loki's used his astral form to usurp other bodies -- here, Odin's. This also had the effect of expelling Odin's spirit. As shown in Thor #454: http://i388.photobucket.com/albums/...alForm07454.jpgLoki can even expel an electronic consciousness from a computer matrix, from Domination Factor #8: http://i388.photobucket.com/albums/...stralForm14.jpgAlthough Loki's power in astral form is reduced as shown earlier, still is it strong enough to briefly combat Odin's own astral form " on every conceivable astral and metaphysical plane," from Thor #455: http://i388.photobucket.com/albums/...alForm08455.jpgHYPNOSISOne of Loki's most oft-used mental abilities is hypnosis. Here, he hypnotizes Jane Foster and animals to do his bidding in Journey Into Mystery#85: http://i388.photobucket.com/albums/...iHypnosis02.jpghttp://i388.photobucket.com/albums/...iHypnosis03.jpgHe's utterly hypnotized Jake Olson (much to Odin's chagrin), from Thor Annual #21: http://i388.photobucket.com/albums/...s09Annual21.jpgHe can hypnotize an entire group of people simultaneously, from Mighty Avengers #33: http://i388.photobucket.com/albums/...yAvengers33.jpgHe's hypnotized Asgardians as well, from Silver Surfer #4: http://i388.photobucket.com/albums/...lverSurfer4.jpgHe doesn't just hypnotize unwitting lackeys. He's ensnared formidable warriors like Balder and the Warriors Three, from Silver Surfer #4 and Marvel Fanfare #37: http://i388.photobucket.com/albums/...iHypnosis06.jpghttp://i388.photobucket.com/albums/...elFanfare37.jpgHe's gotten Thor himself early on -- albeit, in a rather roundabout fashion -- in Journey Into Mystery #85: http://i388.photobucket.com/albums/...osis01JIM85.jpgHe's even hypnotized the Silver Surfer, from Silver Surfer #4: http://i388.photobucket.com/albums/...iHypnosis05.jpgThe other time he's gotten Thor, it was directly, as he played on Thor's violent nature stripped of a human conscience, from Thor: First Thunder#4: http://i388.photobucket.com/albums/...rstThunder4.jpghttp://i388.photobucket.com/albums/...iHypnosis12.jpgAs seen from above, Loki's hypnosis ranges from absolute control to mere suggestion. That suggestion can be as insidious as it is deep and seductive, like with Storm in Uncanny X-Men Annual #9: http://i388.photobucket.com/albums/...7UXMAnnual9.jpgThe far-reaching effects of Loki's hypnosis likely have something to do with his long experience as Loki's been able to use hypnosis since childhood, as revealed in Thor #400: http://i388.photobucket.com/albums/...pnosis08400.jpg __________________

Here a simple one shows Odin what's going on with Thor in Journey Into Mystery #101: http://i388.photobucket.com/albums/...ion01JIM101.jpgHe uses another to conspire with the unwitting Silver Surfer to attack Thor in Silver Surfer #4: http://i388.photobucket.com/albums/...lverSurfer2.jpgEven when not physically present, he can use mental projections to draw the Ghost Rider exactly where he wants him, from Thor #430: http://i388.photobucket.com/albums/...ection03430.jpgLoki's used mental projections to communicate across the dimensional gulf between Asgard and Earth, from Thor #601: http://i388.photobucket.com/albums/...ection04601.jpgHis mental projections can actually possess physical characteristics, as he literally hands one over to Dr. Doom for closer inspection in Thor #603: http://i388.photobucket.com/albums/...ection05603.jpgAnd obviously, he can use them to call for help in times of distress, from Mighty Avengers #34: http://i388.photobucket.com/albums/...yAvengers34.jpgTELEKINESISLoki can use his magic to simulate powerful telekinesis. Here, he pins Thor against a wall in Thor #191. Again, as revealed above, the Odin Ring drew upon Loki's own innate power: http://i388.photobucket.com/albums/...inesis02191.jpgLoki's been able to use telekinesis since he was a child. Here, he shatters a quarterstaff in Thor Annual #4: http://i388.photobucket.com/albums/...is03Annual4.jpgHere, he practices levitating a fish out of a pond in Thor #403: http://i388.photobucket.com/albums/...inesis05403.jpgLoki's effortlessly ensnared Sam Guthrie in New Mutants Special Edition #1: http://i388.photobucket.com/albums/...ialEdition1.jpgRed Skull is dismayed by how effortlessly Loki escapes his traps, controls Skull's mechanisms and looses his bindings, from Captain America #365: http://i388.photobucket.com/albums/...nAmerica365.jpgRed Skull is even more dismayed when he finds himself flung aside like a fly by Loki during Acts of Vengeance, from Avengers Annual #19: http://i388.photobucket.com/albums/...ersAnnual19.jpgLoki dismantles an entire room to reveal its true surroundings in West Coast Avengers #55: http://i388.photobucket.com/albums/...tAvengers55.jpgClassic Vader-style choke shuts Zarrko up but good in Thor #441: http://i388.photobucket.com/albums/...inesis09441.jpgLoki completely immobilizes Donald Blake in Thor: First Thunder #4: http://i388.photobucket.com/albums/...rstThunder4.jpgTELEPATHYUnsurprisingly, Loki is an adept telepath as well. Here, Loki is able to reverse Thor's forced amnesia and restore Zarrko's memories in Journey Into Mystery #101: http://i388.photobucket.com/albums/...thy00JIM101.jpgLoki can hurl psychic bolts that can stagger even Dr. Strange, from Journey Into Mystery #108: http://i388.photobucket.com/albums/...cBoltJIM108.jpghttp://i388.photobucket.com/albums/...wer02JIM108.jpgLoki uses his telepathy to send a " force of pure mental energy" across Asgard to contact Karnilla in Journey Into Mystery #119: http://i388.photobucket.com/albums/...thy01JIM119.jpgLoki effortlessly probes a police officer's memories for the information he seeks in Thor #153: http://i388.photobucket.com/albums/...pathy01a153.jpgHe scans Eric Masterson's mind to discover the truth of his words in Thor #441: http://i388.photobucket.com/albums/...epathy02441.jpgMore mischievously, he picks a memory from She-Hulk to manipulate her with in Thunderstrike #21: http://i388.photobucket.com/albums/...derstrike21.jpgHe melds minds with a resurrected Odin to penetrate his subconscious in Journey Into Mystery #511: http://i388.photobucket.com/albums/...thy04JIM511.jpgIn the middle of pitched battle, he's able to instruct Spider-Man on how to assist him in Amazing Spider-Man vol.2 #62: http://i388.photobucket.com/albums/...hy05ASMv262.jpgHe can induce " a deep sleep of forgetfulness" with his telepathy to spare his daughter the trauma, also from Amazing Spider-Man vol.2 #62: http://i388.photobucket.com/albums/...Telepathy06.jpgLoki similarly leeches memories away from Kelda to spare her recognition of losing a piece of her soul, as revealed in Thor #614: http://i388.photobucket.com/albums/...epathy11614.jpgWhen the Enchantress begins altering the fabric of reality and memory by manipulating the World Tree with her magicks, Loki melds the minds of Thor and Balder and her own's to pierce through the reality changes being wrought in Thor: God-Sized #1: http://i388.photobucket.com/albums/...7God-Sized1.jpgLoki played with Osborn's psyche -- a psyche that proved formidable even for X-Man -- from Mighty Avengers #33: http://i388.photobucket.com/albums/...yAvengers33.jpgHere, he inserts apocalyptic visions into Thor's mind to further his machinations in Avengers: The Origin #2: http://i388.photobucket.com/albums/...sTheOrigin2.jpgLoki's telepathy is not always gentle or subtle; here, he violently pulls memories from the distraught mutant, Sandu, from Thor: First Thunder #3: http://i388.photobucket.com/albums/...rstThunder3.jpg __________________

 | | XVIII. SORCERYIt almost goes without saying that Loki's sorcerous power is not only vast, it's also varied. What follows is a catalogue of Loki's spells. First, an overview of the depths of Loki's experience to start: EXPERIENCEWhile most Asgardian boys were training to be warriors, Loki was in sorcery school, from Thor: Son of Asgard #7: http://i388.photobucket.com/albums/...onofAsgard7.jpgLoki's penchant for learning sorcery manifests here where, under the pretense of being a dutiful and attentive son, Loki listens to Odin's stories to " discover new paths to power and witchery," from Thor Annual #11: http://i388.photobucket.com/albums/...e01Annual11.jpgAs a child, Loki was apprentice to the Light Elf, Eldred, who " teaches Loki the secrets of the sacred runes and other forbidden arts," eventually learning all Eldred knows, from Thor #400: http://i388.photobucket.com/albums/...rience03400.jpgLoki would also learn " the secrets of herb-lore and the magical uses of various plants" from Eldred: http://i388.photobucket.com/albums/...xperience04.jpgUnfortunately for Eldred, Loki doesn't just gain knowledge from him. Loki summoned Surtur and offered Eldred's soul as a sacrifice for all of Eldred's sorcerous power. Surtur accepts and makes it so: http://i388.photobucket.com/albums/...xperience05.jpgLoki would continue to study all that was contained in Eldred's arcane library, as touched upon in Thor Annual #14: http://i388.photobucket.com/albums/...e06Annual14.jpgAt one point, Loki was punished by Odin into serving underneath the sorcerer, Ularic. Bad idea. Here, Loki usurps all of the warlock's enchantments as his own in Journey Into Mystery #120: http://i388.photobucket.com/albums/...nce00JIM120.jpg" Much did [Loki] learn of sickness and death from the magicks in the Sword of Surtur." That is no hollow boast either, as he creates a plague of fever and death that would sweep Asgard, from Thor #376: http://i388.photobucket.com/albums/...rience02376.jpghttp://i388.photobucket.com/albums/...erPlague378.jpg" Odin was not alone in hanging upon the Yggdrasil Tree for fourteen days to learn runes. Loki too lost precious life blood to the study of the dark arts." That's right, years before Thor would commit to a greater sacrifice, Loki was learning of Rune Magicks, from Amazing Spider-Man vol.2 #62: http://i388.photobucket.com/albums/...ce07ASMv262.jpgLoki never stops learning. Here, after his resurrection, he studies the arts of " ancient spellcasters" in Thor vol.3 #9: http://i388.photobucket.com/albums/...rience09v39.jpgNot all of Loki's studies were bent towards the fall of Asgard. He often defended Asgard with his magicks, from Origins of Siege #1: http://i388.photobucket.com/albums/...insofSiege1.jpgSUMMONINGAs seen above, Loki has summoned Surtur. Here, Loki summons an entire army of empty-armored warriors to trick the Asgardians that they were at war, from Thor #264: http://i388.photobucket.com/albums/...ummoning264.jpgLoki summons demon crows to tear Fandral to pieces in Marvel Fanfare #37: http://i388.photobucket.com/albums/...elFanfare37.jpgWith a snap of his fingers, Loki can summon rock trolls from the ground that overwhelm Rachel Grey in Uncanny X-Men Annual #9: http://i388.photobucket.com/albums/...llSummoning.jpgLoki's summoned Mephisto to Asgard in Thor vol.2 #18: http://i388.photobucket.com/albums/...mmoningv218.jpgLoki summons a monstrous Jutefiosk to delay Odin's arrival on Earth in the midst of Odin's teleportation in Thor vol.2 #38: http://i388.photobucket.com/albums/...mmoningv238.jpgBINDINGLoki has used his headpiece to create a mystic cage. Dr. Strange must use his Amulet of Agamotto to escape it in Strange Tales #123: http://i388.photobucket.com/albums/...ngeTales123.jpgLoki conjures a set of stocks to entrap Rogue in Uncanny X-Men Annual #9: http://i388.photobucket.com/albums/...1UXMAnnual9.jpgLoki can cast binding spells on doors to reinforce them, from Thor #378: http://i388.photobucket.com/albums/...inding02378.jpgHe kept the Red Skull, the Wizard and the Mandarin helplessly bound in West Coast Avengers #55: http://i388.photobucket.com/albums/...tAvengers55.jpgLoki's bound his own daughter (under Morwen's control), in a binding spell in Amazing Spider-Man vol.2 #62: http://i388.photobucket.com/albums/...ng04ASMv262.jpgHe's transported and kept Heimdall bound within the foundations of Asgard with wards in Thor #607: http://i388.photobucket.com/albums/...inding05607.jpgLoki can even bind souls with his magicks, from Siege: Loki #1: http://i388.photobucket.com/albums/...6SiegeLoki1.jpgLoki's bound Kelda's spirit in Thor #614: http://i388.photobucket.com/albums/...inding07614.jpg __________________ |

| | ENCHANTMENTLoki's enchanted various objects, including a simple deck of cards which will never lose and can actually heal wounds in Thor #370: http://i388.photobucket.com/albums/...ntment01370.jpg Loki's ensorcelled an entire compound with traps with his enchantments in Thor #401: http://i388.photobucket.com/albums/...ntment02401.jpgLoki's enchanted Ulik's pounders and increased their power in Thor #431: http://i388.photobucket.com/albums/...ntment03431.jpgLoki created the Harbingers of Everlasting Winter and they can regenerate from any damage, from Domination Factor #2: http://i388.photobucket.com/albums/...tionFactor2.jpgLoki enchanted a knife with his own power and life-force so that if he was ever vanquished, he could live on, from Tales To Astonish vol.2 #1: http://i388.photobucket.com/albums/...tment04TTA1.jpgA young Loki has enchanted a mirror to make anybody who's gazed into it love its bearer, from Thor: Son Of Asgard #8: http://i388.photobucket.com/albums/...onofAsgard8.jpgLoki's enchanted a simple door and a ring to bring back those the door teleports in Thor vol.3 #9: http://i388.photobucket.com/albums/...ntment06v39.jpgLoki's enchanted a shot of liquor to bend Wolverine's will to his own in Wolverine: Wendigo #1: http://i388.photobucket.com/albums/...ineWendigo1.jpgLoki has enchanted a sword to break the magicks that empower Absorbing Man, from Mighty Avengers #33: http://i388.photobucket.com/albums/...yAvengers33.jpgCURSELoki is also adept at cursing objects, like Thor's sword in Thor #403: http://i388.photobucket.com/albums/...31-Curse403.jpgWhen Loki granted Thor half his strength, he also wove a curse upon Thor, inflicting him with grave seizures that would periodically sap Thor of his strength, as revealed in Thor #413: http://i388.photobucket.com/albums/...ansfer03398.jpghttp://i388.photobucket.com/albums/...ansfer04413.jpgOne of Loki's most elaborate curses involved making Deadpool both beautiful and invincible. Literally. Loki made Deadpool look like Tom Cruise and indestructible as an ironic punishment for failing him. Deadpool could fall face-first from a building and be unscathed, have his face run over by a train and be unmarred, press his face against nuclear rods and be unburned and be blown up by explosives and be completely unharmed, from Deadpool #37-45: http://i388.photobucket.com/albums/...eDeadpool37.jpghttp://i388.photobucket.com/albums/...eDeadpool38.jpghttp://i388.photobucket.com/albums/...lls44-Curse.jpghttp://i388.photobucket.com/albums/...eDeadpool45.jpgLoki cursed his son, Vali, to forever be trapped in a teenaged boy. Vali would go on to create the identity of Agamemnon and create the Pantheon, from Heroic Age: Prince Of Power #2: http://i388.photobucket.com/albums/...nceofPower2.jpgSPELLBREAKLoki has broken the spells of foes, both experienced and powerful. Here, he easily breaks the binding spells of Dr. Strange even while in astral form in Strange Tales #123: http://i388.photobucket.com/albums/...ngeTales123.jpgLater on, even Dr. Strange's attempt to use the Gem of the Purple Dimension is dispelled with a simple gesture: http://i388.photobucket.com/albums/...pellbreak02.jpgWhat Loki giveth, he can also taketh away. Not only does he strip the New Mutants' enchanted weapons of their power, he also strips Illyana of her gained knowledge of magicks, from Uncanny X-Men Annual #9: http://i388.photobucket.com/albums/...3UXMAnnual9.jpgSeth, ruler of the Death Dimension, binds Loki but " even with the home turf advantage," Loki's magic proves far superior and he shatters them easily, from Journey Into Mystery #511: http://i388.photobucket.com/albums/...eak04JIM511.jpgEventually, Seth would draw forth enough power from the Dimension of Death and transform Loki into petrified wood. Despite this, Loki eventually breaks the spell in time to help the Asgardians in Journey Into Mystery #513. Loki even muses, " If I only had a bag of gold for every time someone imprisoned me in an inanimate state." http://i388.photobucket.com/albums/...eak05JIM513.jpghttp://i388.photobucket.com/albums/...pellbreak06.jpgLoki breaks Morwen's possession over his daughter in Amazing Spider-Man vol.2 #62: http://i388.photobucket.com/albums/...ak07ASMv262.jpgThe Enchantress places a young Sif in a paralyzed state. Loki breaks the spell when it serves his mischievous purpose, from Thor: Son of Asgard#9: http://i388.photobucket.com/albums/...onofAsgard9.jpgLoki breaks the spell which turned Bor into snow millenia ago in Thor #600: http://i388.photobucket.com/albums/...lbreak09600.jpgLoki breaks Wiccan's attempt to remove her disguise violently in Mighty Avengers #29: http://i388.photobucket.com/albums/...yAvengers29.jpgLoki forges a spellbreaker sword which can " undo any Asgardian charm," from Mighty Avengers #33: http://i388.photobucket.com/albums/...yAvengers33.jpg __________________

| | XVIII. SORCERY (cont'd)STRENGTH SAPPINGLoki has quite a penchant for sapping the strength of super-powered victims. Loki is capable of transforming Hulk and instantly sapping his gamma-spawned power despite plunging dangerously into a ravine, from Tales To Astonish #101-02: http://i388.photobucket.com/albums/...Astonish101.jpghttp://i388.photobucket.com/albums/...thSapping02.jpghttp://i388.photobucket.com/albums/...thSapping03.jpgLoki can weave spells onto an entire realm and halve the strength of even Thor, from Thor #275: http://i388.photobucket.com/albums/...apping04275.jpgLoki completely saps the Asgardian power from each of the Wrecking Crew with but a touch, and transfers it to himself, from Thor #430: http://i388.photobucket.com/albums/...apping05430.jpghttp://i388.photobucket.com/albums/...thSapping06.jpghttp://i388.photobucket.com/albums/...thSapping07.jpghttp://i388.photobucket.com/albums/...apping08431.jpgNobilus was cloned by the High Evolutionary with the power of both Thor and Loki. As Nobilus moves to slay Thor with his magic, Loki saps his magical force and weakens him enough for Thor to defeat him, from Thor #482: http://i388.photobucket.com/albums/...pping08a482.jpgLoki wove spells on the powerful and unwitting Godstorm which would transfer all of its power to Loki whenever he wanted to claim it. When Loki ambushes him from behind with an attack, he elicits a blast of power from the Godstorm which Loki absorbs with the rest of his power, from Godstorm #3: http://i388.photobucket.com/albums/...09Godstorm3.jpgThrough some means off-panel, Loki managed to sap the magicks of Mangog himself, increasing his own power before confronting Rune King Thor in Thor vol.2 #84: http://i388.photobucket.com/albums/...pping10v284.jpgSTRENGTH TRANSFERLoki has also often transferred his own strength to unwitting allies a great many times. Loki attempts to even the odds between Odin and the Storm Giant, Skagg. When Odin begins draining Skagg's power on Earth, Loki replenishes Skagg's strength with his own from Asgard. Eventually, Loki's limits are surpassed by Odin's power, from Journey Into Mystery #104: http://i388.photobucket.com/albums/...ing00JIM104.jpgLoki famously merged and transferred his power to Silver Surfer to engage Thor in the classic Silver Surfer #4: http://i388.photobucket.com/albums/...lverSurfer4.jpgLoki uses his headpiece to channel his power and Karnilla's to grant strength to Odin when he struggled with Infinity in Thor #188: http://i388.photobucket.com/albums/...ansfer02188.jpg When Asgard is threatened by Set, Loki eventually imparts half of his strength to Thor (stripped of his own powers) for the coming battle, in Thor#398: http://i388.photobucket.com/albums/...ansfer03398.jpgHowever, Loki rarely gives anything without exacting a price. When Loki granted Thor half his strength, he also wove a curse upon Thor, inflicting him with grave seizures that would periodically sap Thor of his strength, as revealed in Thor #413: http://i388.photobucket.com/albums/...ansfer04413.jpgSPIRIT TRANSFERIn addition to transferring strength, Loki has often transferred spirits. Here, Loki transfers Balder's spirit from the Destroyer back to Balder's body in Thor #266: http://i388.photobucket.com/albums/...ansfer01266.jpgEven disembodied, Loki somehow managed to place Balder's spirit into the Destroyer armor again, as revealed in Thor vol.3 #5 http://i388.photobucket.com/albums/...tTransfer06.jpgLoki transfers his own spirit at the moment his body is obliterated by Thor into Odin's body (expelling Odin's spirit), in Thor #432: http://i388.photobucket.com/albums/...ansfer02432.jpgA disguised Loki needs only to touch the powerful Tarene to ensnare her spirit and transfer it over to the Destroyer, in Thor vol.2 #36: http://i388.photobucket.com/albums/...nsfer03v236.jpghttp://i388.photobucket.com/albums/...tTransfer04.jpgLoki famously transferred his own spirit into Sif's body and trapped Sif's spirit into a near-dead mortal, from Thor vol.3 #5 http://i388.photobucket.com/albums/...ansfer05v35.jpghttp://i388.photobucket.com/albums/...ifting17v38.jpgFinally, Loki can extract pieces of a person's soul. Here, he extracts " a raw ingot of [Kelda's] empathic soul," from Thor #614: http://i388.photobucket.com/albums/...traction614.jpg __________________ | | |

He first uses it in Journey Into Mystery #115: http://i388.photobucket.com/albums/...ord01JIM115.jpgThe Fire Sword is able to shatter normal blades with a single blow , from Thor #189: http://i388.photobucket.com/albums/...eSword02189.jpgHe conjures it from his bare hands, from Thor #207: http://i388.photobucket.com/albums/...eSword03207.jpgHe can project blasts from it as well, from Thor #233: http://i388.photobucket.com/albums/...eSword04233.jpgWhile Loki is not as adept a swordsman as Thor, the power of the sword can equalize that gap in skill, from Thor #278: http://i388.photobucket.com/albums/...eSword05278.jpgIts power is shown where he begins overwhelming Masterson Thor in Thor #441: http://i388.photobucket.com/albums/...eSword06441.jpgLoki forged another formidable Fire Sword, the Eir-Gram, which gave Loki an edge, both literal and figurative, to tame the Disir, from Siege: Loki #1: http://i388.photobucket.com/albums/...7SiegeLoki1.jpgLoki explains that it " channels spirit of the wielder into an edge," from Thor #611-12: http://i388.photobucket.com/albums/...Sword07a611.jpghttp://i388.photobucket.com/albums/...eSword08612.jpgLoki forged it using hellfire and a piece of Kelda's soul, from Thor #613-14: http://i388.photobucket.com/albums/...eSword09613.jpghttp://i388.photobucket.com/albums/...epathy11614.jpgNORN STONES Loki has also often used the enchanted Norn Stones. When they were first introduced, Loki explained their individual powers when he is forced into a series of trials bereft of his weapons and spells (Loki cheated, obviously). The first Norn Stone could project actual scenes from far-away locations, from Journey Into Mystery #116: http://i388.photobucket.com/albums/...ctionJIM116.jpgLoki uses another to turn molten lava into a solid path: http://i388.photobucket.com/albums/...ansmutation.jpgYet another enables Loki to molecularly phase: http://i388.photobucket.com/albums/...s03-Phasing.jpgAnother of the Norn Stones gives Loki the ability to levitate out of harm's way: http://i388.photobucket.com/albums/...-Levitation.jpgAnother Norn Stone permitted him to avoid a withering heat with a magical whirlwind: http://i388.photobucket.com/albums/...-Whirlwinds.jpgThis Norn Stone acted as a repellent of any form of plant life: http://i388.photobucket.com/albums/...6-Repellant.jpgWhen Asgard is restored by Thor, the Norn Stones are still being used by Loki... at least vicariously. Here he brings Parker Robbins, the Hood, to them and replaces his lost power, from New Avengers #56-57: http://i388.photobucket.com/albums/...wAvengers56.jpghttp://i388.photobucket.com/albums/...pulation22c.jpghttp://i388.photobucket.com/albums/...wAvengers57.jpgThe Norn Stones collectively can be used to amp its targets with unbelievable power, power even to challenge the Void, from Siege #4: http://i388.photobucket.com/albums/...mpingSiege4.jpghttp://i388.photobucket.com/albums/...es08-Amping.jpgINFINITY GAUNTLETThat's right, Loki is one of the few bearers of the Infinity Gauntlet. When the Infinity Gems crossed over into the Ultraverse, Loki began assembling the Infinity Gems. He eventually would be drawn into a game with the Grandmaster, which Loki wins. However, the Gems would have their own agenda, from Ultraforce #10 and Ultraforce/Avengers #0: http://i388.photobucket.com/albums/...ltraforce10.jpghttp://i388.photobucket.com/albums/...yGauntlet02.jpghttp://i388.photobucket.com/albums/...yGauntlet03.jpghttp://i388.photobucket.com/albums/...yGauntlet04.jpghttp://i388.photobucket.com/albums/...yGauntlet05.jpg __________________ |
