Loki was the son of Laufey, a Frost Giant, who was taken by Odin, king of Asgard, during his conquest of Jotunheim, the world of the Frost Giants. He is the adopted brother of Thor, God of Thunder. Throughout his time on both Asgard and Midgard, also known as Earth, he has caused mayhem and mischief wherever he goes. He is often known as the God of Evil.
Loki is another one of my favourite super-villains because he is not all evil, although progressively through the comics, he was gotten more and more evil. He was originally the God of Mischief because the deeds he did were merely for fun and games. He is constantly changing in the comics, and so his character always remains fresh and original, and this is part of his appeal.
