Loki
The Asgardian trickster, adopted brother of Thor, defined across continuities by shapeshifting and illusion rather than by allegiance.
Powers
Across continuities
One canonical record, many iterations. A version is this character in a different continuity; a variant is a separate in-fiction instance inside one. Everything below resolves back to this page.
The feat ledger
Illusion and shapeshifting are his defining abilities across every continuity, more consistently than any weapon or spell
Takes any form, including other characters, convincingly enough to fool them
Projects illusions solid enough to be fought
Communicates and manipulates at distance without being present
Changes sex and species, which the source myth and the comics both treat as routine
Projects a duplicate of himself to a different location entirely
Reads intent well enough that deception is his primary weapon rather than force
Conceals his presence from Asgardian detection
