Loki is a minifigure based on the main antagonist in The Avengers, a part of the Marvel Super Heroes theme.
Description
Loki's torso, legs and arms are dark stone grey, printed to resemble his armour in The Avengers. He wears a green cape and a horned gold helmet. He wields a golden staff which is made up of two parts and his head is printed with a stern expression similar to the Bruce Wayne minifigure.
Background
Loki was the adopted son of King Odin of Asgard. Odin raised Loki as his own, alongside his biological son Thor, however when Loki discovered his true heritage, he attempted to seize control of Asgard and kill Thor. However, Loki's plan failed, and he was forced into exile.
Some time later, Loki gained control of a Chitauri army, and began an invasion on Earth. His first step was to seize control of the Tesseract(Cosmic Cube), an Asgardian artefact which was recovered by S.H.I.E.L.D. decades ago following a mission carried out by Captain America. After he gained control of the cube and took control of the minds of several SHIELD personnel including Hawkeye, he put them to work on building a machine that would harness the power of the Cube open a portal between Earth and the Chitauri invasion fleet.
However, the Avengers managed to thwart the Chitauri invasion, and Loki was defeated by The Hulk. Thor then took Loki and the Cosmic Cube back to Asgard.
Notes
- Loki is the only Marvel minifigure to date that has no back printing. He is also the minifigure to appear in the most mainsteam Marvel sets, at a total of three.
