Loki Laufeyson (Earth-339)

Loki is the King of Asgard, Midgard and Jotunheim and the adopted son of Odin All-Father.

Early Life
Loki was born as the son of Laufey, King of Jotunheim. He was abandoned and taken in by Odin the All-Father. Loki was raised alongside Thor. Odin believed Thor needed to learn humililty and sent him to Midgard as Donald Blake. There he was killed in one of the many purges of Apocalypse. Shortly afterwards Odin was killed by Malekith and Loki became King of Asgard. Loki revealed himself to be the son of Laufey and for the first time the Frost Giants and the Asgardians lived together in harmony.

King of Asgard
With Thor dead and as King of Asgard, Loki wanted revenge for his brother's death. Therefore he and his daughter Hela helped Mephisto in his conquest of Midgard. Loki himself killed Apocalypse using Jarnbjorn. Loki, now finally able to stop mourning for Thor, married Sif. He and Mephisto then clashed. Mephisto, Hela and Surtur were in conflict and ready to go to war with each other. Loki tried to intervene, but he could not stop the war. Asgard joint forces with Hela and together they defeated Surtur. Mephisto proved harder to defeat, but eventually he too fell to the Lokiforce. Loki then made it impossible for Mephisto to return to the surface of the Earth. The surface was now barely inhabited, with only a few demons. Loki then colonised the planet with both Jotuns and Asgardians. He placed Balder in charge of the colony together with the Frost Giant Grundroth. The colonies were then attacked by immortal mutants, known as the Angels. They consisted of Archangel, Magneto, Havok, Perfection, Black Queen & Deadpool. Archangel was infused with the power of Apocalypse and had therefore become immortality. This immortality he shared with Magneto, Havok, Perfection and Black Queen. They had not forgotten that Loki had aided Mephisto. Archangel killed Grundroth in battle. Loki then came to Midgard to treat with Archangel. Loki apologised for his actions in the Fall of Midgard, yet decreed them neccessary for the Survival of the other Eight Realms. Loki then decreed a portion of Midgard to be for Archangel and his mutant refugees. Deadpool then entered Loki's employment and became Deadpool: Agent of Asgard.



Loki's Noble Deed
Loki was still at war with Svartalfheim. Malekith invaded Asgard. He had found the Power Gem and was looking for more of the Infinity Gems. Loki fought Malekith, yet Malekith had managed to kill Frigga. Loki then defeated Malekith, who fled. Loki then went to Hela and bargained for the life of his mother. Hela told Loki that she could only release Frigga, if he could provide a soul of equal strength. Loki decided to offer his own and Hela accepted.

Revival of Loki
However Loki's death was not permanent. He was still infused with the Lokiforce. The Lokiforce broke his death and released him from Hela's halls. Hela felt betrayed. Therefore Loki vowed to not only one day return to her himself, but that he would also provide another powerful soul, the soul of Malekith the Accursed. Death had been a powerful Lokisleep and had completely rejuvenated Loki and greatly enhanced his power temporarily. He appeared before Malekith and used the full Lokiforce to kill Malekith. Malekith tried to fight back but he was completely overwhelmed. Loki obliterated him, fullfilling the first half of his promise to Hela.

Return to Asgard
Loki then returned to Asgard, finding Balder ruling in his place. Balder was revealed to be the son of Frigga and Odin. Loki challenged Balder for the throne. He believed that since he controlled the Lokiforce that he was the rightful ruler, while Balder believed that the throne was his birthright. Sif vouched for Loki and so did Frigga, which angered Balder. Tyr, Valkyrie, Volstagg, Hogun and Fandral all followed Frigga. Balder was angered by this and attacked Loki. Frigga called for Balder not to be slain. Tyr defended Loki, who honored his mother's wishes not to fight Balder. Balder then left Asgard and returned to Midgard. Algrim the Strong had taken up Malekith's place as King of Svartalfheim and had vowed revenge on Asgard. He vowed to slay all relatives of Loki. He started with Balder. He attacked the Midgard colony and slew Balder. Unbeknownst to him, this awoke The Midgard Serpent and initiated Ragnarok. Loki reacted with another assault on Svartalfheim, which he secured. Meanwhile Tyr let an attack on the colony. Algrim then fled to Muspelheim.

The Midgard Serpent
Only three years after the Death of Apocalypse, a new threat rose on Midgard. Jormungandr arose, believing it to be time for Ragnarok. It was prophesized that only Thor could slay Jormungandr. Loki, Balder, Sif, Valkyrie, Archangel, Deadpool and the Angels united to stand against the Midgard Serpent. They were also joined by two Mutant-Demons, Magik and Ishtar. They were losing and Jormungandr ate Selene. Archangel revealed to Loki that he knew the location of Mjolnir, a hammer that could possibly slay Jormungandr. It had been used against Apocalypse by Wonder Man. The Angels had all tried to pick up the hammer but none had been considered worthy, partially because they were infected with the Death Seed. Archangel then travelled with Loki to Mjolnir while the Asgardians continued the fight. Loki, Tyr, Volstagg, Hogun, Fandral, Sif and Valkyrie then stood around Mjolnir. They all tried to lift the hammer but none were worthy. Finally Archangel suggested that Loki should try it. He did and to his surprise he could lift the hammer. He was worthy. He used the hammer to fly to the head of the Serpent and struck him down with lightning. The Serpent retaliated and killed Volstagg and Hogun. Loki then sent in the Destroyer to fight the Serpent. The destroyer was destroyed quickly. Loki then struck the Serpent one last time with Mjolnir and managed to take him down. There the Midgard Serpent died. Loki then walked three steps and fell down. Mjolnir then shattered. Yet Loki rose, he survived Ragnarok. Magik was then infused with the Apocalypse Force and replaced Selene as the Fourth Horseman.

The Fall of Mephisto
Loki decided to support the Angels in their battle with Mephisto. Loki and Archangel agreed to be allies. Loki also recognised Archangel as one of the Rulers of Midgard, together with the newly appointed Fandral. King Loki now knew that Mephisto could still be a problem. He could muster an enormous army to reclaim the surfaceworld. Therefore he armed Ishtar with Jarnbjorn. Then a new player came to Midgard, Nero. He was an extradimensional, searching for Ishtar, his daughter. Nero and the Angels infiltrated Hell and fought Mephisto together with the dead, whom included Apocalypse, Professor X, Storm, Wolverine, Captain Terra, Wonder Man and Reed Richards. Archangel was able to defeat Mephisto and assume the position of King of Hell. He then used the Death Seed to revive 50,000 people back to life, among them 300 mutants. Archangel then faded away. Apocalypse was not revived and was imprisoned Tartarus, the deepest circle of Hell by the new King of Hell, Magik. Nero and Ishtar were then re-united.

Genosha, Ithaca and Asgardia
The new colonists of Earth divided themselves in two groups, the 300 mutants and the 47,000 humans. The Mutants were led by Magneto who was appointed as their ruler. Nero and Ishtar joint this group. Captain Terra became the leader of the humans and was rebranded Captain Ithaca. He formed a council of rulers consisting of himself and four other men. They founded Genosha and Ithaca.

The Kree Refugees
Shortly after the foundation of Genosha and Ithaca the city-states were confronted with their first challenge. A giant space ship crashed on Earth. The aliens that came out of it immediately started building a settlement. Genosha, Ithaca and Agardia all sent emmissaries to the settlers. Genosha sent Havok, Cyclops, Wolverine and Domino, Ithaca sent Captain Ithaca, Captain Danvers and Maria Hill and Asgardia sent Fandral. The leader of the aliens was Mar-Vell. He told the heroes that he was of the Kree, which had been a grand empire in the galaxy, but had been destroyed by the mass murderer Thanos. Fandral called on Loki. Loki then negotiated with Mar-Vell and declared that if the Kree recognised Loki as their overlord that they were allowed to find a settlement. This went well for a while, but then a second ship came. It was filled with a Kree army, led by Ronan the Accuser. Ronan attacked Mar-Vell and his team. Genosha, Ithaca and Asgardia all sent aid and helped defend the Kree. Ronan then killed Mar-Vell. Mar-Vell's energy then hit Carol Danvers, who gained superpowers. Magneto and his X-Men then overran the Accusers. Ronan was then captured. Loki, Magneto and Steve Rogers then listened to Ronan's story, who told that Mar-Vell had killed their monarch, the Supreme Intelligence because the Supreme Intelligence was not adequately working against Thanos enough. Ronan told the leaders that he would now retire as Accuser, since there was no more empire and his monarch was avenged. Ronan was then released and became the new leader of the Kree refugees. Among the Kree were also a few Inhumans, who had fled Attilan when Apocalypse destroyed it. Among them were Black Bolt and Medusa. They decided to seperate from Ronan and founded a small settlement of New Attilan nearby with Black Bolt as its King. Black Bolt and Ronan both recognised Loki as their overlord.

The Mad Titan
The ship of Corvus Clave passed Earth, which he believed to be an uninhabited planet. His master Thanos had killed most people in the Galaxy, almost unchallenged. Loki had already sent Deadpool to counter Thanos, knowing him to be truly immortal. Now Thanos invaded earth with a grand army. Black Bolt, Medusa and Ronan informed the other city-states that this was the mass murderer that had destroyed their empire. They then founded a new team, The Defenders. The Defenders launched an assault against against Thanos his fleet. They destroyed many ships and fought fiercely. However when Thanos descended from his ship and joint the battle, many defenders died, including Medusa, She-Hulk and Iceman. Black Bolt, Loki and Magneto then battled Thanos, but they were being overrun. Then a small fleet of ships arrived. Deadpool had brought the remainder of the Guardians of the Galaxy, Nova, Beta Ray Bill, Gamora, Rocket Raccoon, Groot and Moondragon. Together they turned the tide by killing Corvus Clave. Black Bolt then defeated Thanos and launched him back into space, but not before Storm died.

New Guardians of the Galaxy
Loki decided that he wanted to free the Galaxy from Thanos his reign. To do so he needed the aid of not only the Guardians of the Galaxy, but also of the other Empire in the Galaxy, the Spartoi. Their emperor Peter Jason Quill came from Earth and therefore had some affinity for the planet. He was also a former member of the Guardians of the Galaxy. Black Bolt, Ronan and Havok then joint the Guardians of the Galaxy. They were such a powerful team that they were quickly liberating planets. Emperor Peter of Spartax then provided a grand fleet to support them. Thanos appeared to have been defeated, but he found a new ally is his quest of death. Galactus. Thanos killed the Silver Surfer and was awarded part of the Power Cosmic by Galactus. Thanos then brought Galactus to Spartax, while he sent his fleet to Earth. The Guardians had been divided by this move. Peter Quill, Gamora, Moondragon, Rocket Raccoon, Groot, Nova and Havok were at Spartax, together with the Starjammers led by Havok's father Corsair. They were all killed when Galactus ate the planet. Only Havok and Gamora escaped when Corsair sent them to Earth. There Havok and Gamora joint the other Guardians and the Defenders for their battle against Thanos and Galactus. Loki then revealed his knowledge of the Infinity Gauntlet. He already possessed Mind and Time Gems. He also revealed that he knew that Ronan and Black Bolt both also possessed an Infinity Gem, namely the Power Gem and Space Gem. The Infinity Gauntlet would be powerful enough to defeat Galactus. Loki also possessed the Gauntlet itself, which he had inherited from Odin. Loki, Black Bolt, Ronan, Magneto, Havok and Captain Ithaca then teamed up to search for the Reality and Soul Gems. Adam Warlock was in possession of the Soul Gem and had been using them to combat the Badoon, which were supporters of Thanos together with the Skrulls. From Adam's intell they learned that Thanos possessed the Reality Gem. Adam Warlock joint the Guardians and together they returned to an Earth under siege. Magneto was single-handedly stopping Galactus and Thanos by using the Earth Magnetic field as a huge shield. However he was breaking under the pressure. The Guardians attacked them in the rear. Black Bolt's voice accidentally broke Magneto's hold of the Magnetic field and severely injured him, resulting in him breaking his back and becoming disabled from the waist down. Havok was then given the Power Gem and the Space Gem, this and him being closer to the sun greatly amplified his powers. He then channeled his powers into a great blast which took down Thanos. Loki then took the Infinity Gems and combined them to get access to the full power of the Infinity Gauntlet, combined the Lokiforce. They destroyed Galactus.

The Infinity Watch
After all the fighting, Earth was finally free from cosmic invasion. Thanos was still alive, but being hunted by a new team of Guardians of the Galaxy.

Great War of the Nine Realms
Algrim and Surtur declared war on each other and on Asgard. This lead to a giant war. Frey, who had not accepted Loki as King of Asgard also joint the war. Both Malekith and Loki wanted to secure Midgard in their army and both launched an assault on the two remaining cities, Ithaca and Genosha. The battle destroyed Ithaca and its inhabitants. Loki then made an alliance with Magneto, the ruler of Genosha. Magneto and Loki then fought against the other realms. Loki was eventually killed in battle by Surtur.
