The first season of Marvel and Disney+’s Loki series concluded in spectacular fashion this week, and what better occasion than to ask: who is your favorite version of Marvel’s take on the Norse god of mischief and lies? As the show faithfully conveyed, Loki has had many faces in the pages of the comics, some more unique than others.
Do you perhaps prefer Stan Lee, Larry Lieber and Jack Kirby’s original take on Loki (portrayed wonderfully by Richard E. Grant in the fifth episode of the series), to the younger, Tom Hiddleston-inspired take who’s appeared in the books since 2013’s “Young Avengers” run? Or maybe you miss poor, sweet Kid Loki, who starred in “Journey into Mystery” before his body was snatched away by his original self’s consciousness?
Then there’s the Lady Lokis: the TV show introduced Sophia Di Martino’s Sylvie, who was ostensibly the MCU counterpart of J. Michael Straczynski and Olivier Coipel’s variant from their “Thor” run in the late 2000s, but she had more in common with Amora the Enchantress than the original, sinister (and eyebrowless) version of the character, who was really regular Loki in possession of Sif’s body.
Choose your preferred traitor below, and be sure to check back for the results on Monday. (That’s Máni’s Day if you speak Old Norse.)
