Could Loki's army actually be less space aliens and more of a native earth race with advanced technology? The device that Loki is riding does somewhat resemble an atomic steed, which was used by the Knights of Wundagore. The Knights of Wundagore also known as the New Men are a group of hyper-evolved animals.
