God of Mischief

Written by Kal-El

Ever wondered if Thor had a brother, would he be the God of Wind? Or The God of Fire or any kind of other elements, But, What if the facts did say that his brother did exist, Since that only Odin had one son, namely Thor, The God of Thunder, He also did had a Foster Brother. He wasn't a God of any elements in this Universe; He was just simply Loki.

The ancient story began in ancient Asgard time, Home of the Gods, that which consists of Six Races and the Nine Worlds. Asgard had the mightiest ruler of all, A Great ruler and protector of Asgard of Norse Methology, This God's name was Odin. The Asgardians has an Ancient enemy called the Frost Giants, led by their evil ruler, Laufey. Odin and Laufey are sworn enemies, for which Odin defeated Laufey and killed him in a great battle between Good and Evil. After Slaying Laufey, Odin found a small young boy, kept away in a stronghold room, where Laufey had kept him from harm's way in battle with the Asgardians. The Powerful Odin took the small sized boy out of a combination of pity, and also because he was the son of his once greatest adversary in which he had defeated honorably in a battle. Odin raised the boy alongside his very own biological son, Thor.

Throughout his childhood, Loki was resentful of the differences in which he and Thor were treated as citizens of Asgards. The Asgardians only values in Strength, tenacity, honor and bravery in great battles, in which clearly Loki was inferior to as he is weak in those areas. However his strengths lies in Sorcery and Magic. He posses the power to control and commands great magical forces in which he hopes to one day to use his abilities to conquer and become ruler of Asgard. Loki possesses a degree of superhuman strength that seemed to be roughly equal to that of the average male Asgardian. He aged at a rate vastly slower than human beings and was extremely long lived, though he did not possess the same aging process as other god pantheons, such as the Olympians. His obsessions to become stronger as his intention led to wanting to destroy Thor.

As he grew to adulthood, his powers and talents have earned himself a nickname as "The God of Mischief". However, instead of playing harmless pranks, he grew steadily more malicious in his deeds, and his lust for both power and revenge was apparent to all those around him. Over the centuries, Loki attempted on many occasions to seize rulership of Asgard and to destroy Thor. Odin, who had long tolerated Loki's attempts, magically imprisoned him within a tree. Loki eventually freed himself from his prison, and his thirst for power and vengeance became even more consuming than it had been.

Loki's schemes eventually came to include Earth itself and these schemes often drew some of Earth's superhuman heroes to defend Earth and, often, Asgard itself. Loki was able to manipulate the Hulk into wreaking havoc and, which accidentally led to the formation of the Avengers. Thor was one of the founding members of this superhuman team, and Loki often found his goals frustrated by them, even when they appeared close to success.

Loki and Thor clashed more frequently, sometimes with Loki confronting Thor directly and sometimes using various pawns in order to achieve his ends. Among Loki's better known henchmen was the human criminal Carl "The Crusher" Creel, whom Loki transformed by sorcery into the superhuman criminal known as the Absorbing Man. Creel himself would proved to be a formidable adversary to Thor over the years. Loki event went so far as to attempt to turn Odin against Thor and to steal Thor's enchanted hammer, Mjolnir, but all his efforts failed.

If you been a bad boy, you might just end up in a magical tree, just like Loki.
