Odin and his wife, Frigga, already had a son, Thor, but they adopted Loki as Thor's brother, using sorcery to change his appearance to that of an Asgardian, and kept the truth of Loki's birth from both of them.
While the Loki of the Marvel comics and films does derive his cunning character from the Loki of Norse myth, the biggest difference is that in the Marvel universe, Loki is depicted as the adopted brother and son of Thor and Odin.
In 965 A.D., not long after the war between the Giants and the Asgardians, Loki was found by King Odin. Adopting Loki and using sorcery to alter his appearance to make him appear to be an Asgardian, Odin raised Loki and his biological son, Thor, with his wife Frigga.
Following a war between the Frost Giants and Asgardians, Odin, King of Asgard, found Loki and took him home to raise as his son and an Asgardian prince along with his biological son Thor. Queen Frigga raised him in the arts of sorcery, teaching him everything she knew.
Laufey is a supervillain appearing in American comic books published by Marvel Comics. The character is depicted usually as an enemy of the Asgardian king Odin, father of Thor. He is the King of the Frost Giants, the biological father of Thor's adopted brother and archenemy, Loki.
Odin revealed that he wanted to gain a permanent peace between Asgard and Jotunheim by having Loki rule the world of the Frost Giants. Loki was disgusted by his own parentage and claimed that Odin could have never loved him the same way he loved Thor and would have never given him the throne.
Although they are commonly represented as brothers in modern literature and representations, traditionally they were not considered brothers. Loki became blood brothers with Odin, Thor's father, after they participated in a blood-sharing ritual. Loki is thus Thor's adopted uncle, not his adopted brother.
Loki is married to Sigyn and they have two sons, Narfi or Nari and Váli. By the jötunn Angrboða, Loki is the father of Hel, the wolf Fenrir, and the world serpent Jörmungandr. In the form of a mare, Loki was impregnated by the stallion Svaðilfari and gave birth to the eight-legged horse Sleipnir.
This is precisely the case with Vali Halfling, Loki's long-lost son. As the product of both a complicated backstory and an especially convoluted plot, Vali's comic book career didn't last long.
Across multiple comic continuities, Thor has had several daughters including Brigid Thorsdottir, Thena Thorsdóttir and Torunn Thorsdóttir, the latter recurring in many iterations. In Norse Mythology, Thor had a daughter named Thrud with Sif.
While Marvel's Loki is the adopted son of King Odin and the biological child of Laufrey — the king of the Frost Giants of Jötunheimr — this differs from the original mythology. In some stories, Laufrey is depicted as a female, making Loki's father actually his mother.
Thor Could be adopted. but in the MCU, he is the biological son of Frigga, meanwhile, Hela & Loki are Adopted Children, as we saw that Loki is the Biological son of King Laufey, the Frost Giants. Meanwhile Hela was Called half-sister by Thor.
Loki is not a direct analogue for Jesus. He is no Aslan of Narnia, but his story may just be a conversation starter for people who still long for transcendent mercy in a world that knows too much of cold materialism, crass manipulation, and naked coercion.
By saving and organizing every existing timeline, Loki has become the God of Time — a higher being who keeps the past, present, and future of every universe from being erased by outside forces. However, Loki has also become the God of Stories, as he has placed everybody's personal journey above his own.
How is Thor 500 years older than Loki? Thor Odinson himself said he is around 1500 years old at the time of the events of Infinity War (2018), and MCU fandom wiki mentions Loki's year of birth as 965 AD, hence he would be 1055 years old at the time of his death in 2018. So, Thor is around 445 years older than Loki.
Loki Laufeyson, also known by adoption as Loki Odinson and by his title as the God of Mischief, is a character portrayed by Tom Hiddleston in the Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU) media franchise.
Thor's wife was Sif, a golden-haired fertility goddess, with whom he had a daughter, Thrudr (Strength). He was also the father of two sons, Modi (Courage) and Magni (Strength), by Jarnsaxa, a giantess, and stepfather of Sif's son Ull.
Sigyn appears in the books Gylfaginning and Skáldskaparmál in the Prose Edda. In Gylfaginning, Sigyn is introduced in chapter 31. There, she is introduced as being married to Loki, and that they have a son by the name of "Nari or Narfi".
Even though Loki frequently tells lies as part of his schemes, he is also known to speak the truth, so it is possible he and Sif did have an affair. This would not be unusual since fertility goddesses are often depicted as having sexual relations with men other than their chosen mate.
The gods, however, were able to prevent the giant from winning his payment by the aid of the trickster god Loki, who changed himself into a mare and attracted Svadilfari away from his work. From their union Loki bore Odin's magical horse, Sleipnir.
Loki is Thor's adopted brother and the Asgardian god of mischief. In his younger years, he and Loki were very close and good friends, even if occasionally irritated by Loki's mischief. However, it is later revealed that Loki was often jealous of Thor even back then, and resented being left in his "shadow".
While Loki and Thor did, by heart, truly love each other as brothers, their intention to rule Asgard made them fierce rivals. However, Thor evolved himself by learning that a true leader doesn't start wars or seek to conquer other territories, while Loki sought to control the world and gain more power over others.
However, as fond as the mythological Odin is of his son Thor (who he had with Jörð , not with his wife Frigg), his favorite child is generally understood to be Baldr, who is Frigg's son.
