If you ever want to throw any of yours at any of mine, I did love your writing. I wish I had done more with that test drive.
Powers Information
> superhuman strength, speed, stamina and reflexes - He can pick up a grown man one-handed with little effort and throw them across a room. To put a number on it: Loki can lift about 30 tons, but he's commonly not the type to rely on his physical strength. He's very quick with his knives as well and doesn't tire easily. But he really prefers to find more efficient and less exhausting ways to end a conflict.
> superhuman durability - Asgardians and Frost Giants possess a much higher body density than humans, making them not only several times heavier than your regular human, but also much harder to injure. Which only means that he can take a good beating, but it takes a bit more to seriously harm him. Common bullets generally do little more than irritate him. He also survived being sucked into a wormhole and thrown into outer space. Therefore it might be possible that Asgardians/Jotun have no need for oxygen either.
> increased healing factor - He can recover from most injuries with a bit of time, yet certainly can't regrow any missing limbs (but this seems to be taken care of by in-game mechanics anyway.)
> can live for several thousand years - Around 5000 years being stated in canon. The Gods of Asgard in the MCU are by far not immortal. They are much rather an alien race that just lives very long.
> unaffected by freezing temperatures - His birth planet Jotunheim is literally a frozen wasteland. Finding comparable temperatures on Earth is pretty unlikely.
> cryokinesis - Can freeze stuff and manipulate ice. He can freeze your coffee, he can freeze the small pond in your backyard, but he can't freeze a lake. What he can do however, is draw moisture from the air, freeze it and create small ice daggers or encase something in ice. Nothing bigger than a car. His manipulation is limited to the freezing process and he can't do anything with or about already existing ice.
> allspeak - The Allspeak is really just the Asgardian auto-translate function that makes people hear Asgardians speak in their own native tongue rather than some alien gibberish and in turn auto-translates spoken and written words back.
As for his potential Frost Giant form... He turns blue and gets red eyes when touched by another Frost Giant or touches Frost Giant Artifacts. The effect is fleeting due to a spell Odin put on him as an infant and the requirements for it may not occur. It's not a form he can or would assume willingly.
Added details on his Invulnerability and Healing
It may be hard, but not impossible. On the long-run it comes down to either the right choice of weapon, or a sufficient amount of force. The first may be easier to realize than the second. For example, any Asgardian dagger will stab, wound and potentially kill an Asgardian just as a common dagger will stab, wound and potentially kill us. Canonly we see several weapons from other alien planets being perfectly capable of harming and killing Asgardians while most common weaponry from Earth tends to compare to being slapped with a plastic sword. Sure, you get away with a bruise maybe, but it's not exactly endangering your health. Alloys known and used on Earth are simply weaker than whatever is used by other planets that have had thousands of years of a head-start to figure out ways to counter those pesky Asgardians that at some point went around to attack and conquer other planets. So... No. It's not unthinkable that Earth will find its own way, but the current status of what's available to it is simply too weak if we stick to the more traditional sort of weaponry.
Thus I recommend to use his own daggers against him. Or grab an energy-based weapon. Or a magical weapon. The right tool for the right job. Personally I like to be very open to possibilities on this one, especially in a multi-canon setting. It would be boring otherwise.
Though I also fully endorse just whacking him with a rolled-up newspaper.Finding the right amount of force necessary to cause notable damage works pretty much the same way. While humans are comparably weak, anyone with superhuman strength can at the very least cause some bruising scaling up to broken bones, flesh wounds and yes, it is possible to break his neck given the right amount of physical strength. His healing pretty much works like our own, just at an increased pace and more efficiently. It can't undo lethal wounds or regrow lost limbs or organs. Best canon example remains when he gets smashed into the ground several times by the Hulk and is left clearly dazed, with several comparably smaller wounds and battered enough to be unable to get back onto his feet right away. He does recover enough to slowly crawl back onto his feet within maybe an hour or two. This encounter may have well left him with a few cracked bones and judging by how keen he gets later to avoid being on the same planet as the Hulk, this wasn't a very pleasant experience. Yet he didn't need any sort of medical attention and was perfectly able to walk on his own again soon enough.
And while his comic-version allegedly can do so: No, this one can not simply reattach his head. Or anything else, for the matter. He can only heal as long as he is physically alive.
* canon: Sorcery
> illusion magic - The majority of Loki's magic revolves around illusions and mind tricks. Creating images that aren’t there or making people believe they see or hear something, create copies of himself to confuse his opponents or make himself invisible for the common eye. Reflective surfaces will still show him, however.
> astral projection - He likes to use these to communicate with others. Because physically being in the same room with another being sucks?
Especially should they decide to punch you for being a lying little snake.Canonly, Loki can literally use it halfway across the universe and back. To prevent him from using this rather than the ingame communication network I'd limit it to a radius of roughly 500 meters.> shape-shifting - Turning himself into animals or people he knows. Doesn't grant him their abilities, knowledge or anything of that sort.
> molecular rearrangement - Magically turning stuff into other stuff. He turned wine to snakes to freak out a servant, for example. The amount of molecules in the 'source material' puts a limit to what he can do with it. Turning a fork into a dragon would result therefore in a very tiny dragon. Which admittedly would be adorable, but a little useless. This will only last as long as he consciously maintains the spell. He can by far not bring anything to life or create any magical items or anything else overly fancy. Should anything appear alive, it's either due to an added illusion or him using his telekinesis on the item. Or both.
> telekinesis - Often used to throw his daggers rather than using his own strength to do so.
> conjuration - He can summon items into existence he possesses, like his armor, weapons or potentially a set of clothes. He won't be able to create stuff out of thin air, however. In canon he seems to be using some sort of pocket dimension to store his stuff in. I'd rather give him a summoning radius of roughly 500 kilometers, implying that should he go to another country he will have to physically drag his stuff along.
> energy blasts - The one actually destructive spell he can use. These blasts can knock over a car, but aren't strong enough to level a building.
> fireball summoning - No bigger than to fit comfortably in his palm. Just regular fire, nothing too fancy or magical.
> hypnosis - Make your adoptive dad believe he's just an elderly human that lives in a retirement home so you can have the throne to yourself... I mean, yeah. Loki being able to put such a spell on Odin successfully says something, but I feel this needs to get nerfed and be easier resist-/breakable by a strong mind. This shall also require to be consciously maintained.
> telepathically connect to others and access their memories, view them and have them relived - Touch required. He has to go right for the head for this one and have an idea what he's looking for.
* (novel)-canon: Horde of Tiny Dragons
Size-wise they'd be about 20 to 25 cm in length and more of the serpentine build, spitting colorful sparks at one another rather than flames and living of fruit. Or at least they only eat fruit. Feeding isn't mandatory because knowing Loki, he'd just let them starve. They come with tiny, sharp teeth and equally tiny, needle-like claws but they are really more of a curiously chaotic yet harmless flock than Loki really having much control over them. Maybe he can try bribing them with grapes. If he's lucky. Which we know he rarely is.
There is no way for him to only summon one of them, only the entire horde at once of 20 tiny dragons.
Trials of Yggdrasil - Escape Rooms
Everyone looking for a challenge of wit will enjoy these.
Available Locations:
* Mauritia Falls - Trial of Midgard
-- Designed to appear as a typical human living room. Or at least what Loki believes one would look like. It's close enough, at least? Just don't ask about the oddly placed stack of hay and why there is canned food next to the television set. Or up in that shelf over there. Humans like their food, don't they? The puzzles at least are challenging, yet in theory perfectly solvable without any too uncommonly knowledge.
Upcoming Locations:
- Vanaheim
- Nidavellir
- Jotunheim
- Alfheim
- Svartalfheim
- Muspelheim
- Niflheim
- Asgard
