Who is Loki?

Loki is the Asgardian god of mischief, the son of the Frost Giant king Laufey, adopted by Odin as a baby. His jealousy of his brother Thor made him one of Marvel's great villains, and his scheme in Avengers #1 (1963) accidentally brought the Avengers together. He's a master sorcerer, shapeshifter and liar. He has since been reborn as a child, worked as an agent of Asgard, and become the god of stories.
