Marvel Makes Major Change to Loki

Loki is back and this time he’s up to more than just his old tricks.

SPOILERS for Thor #6 by Jason Aaron and Christian Ward follow.

Thor #6 takes place in the far future of the Marvel Universe. The entire universe is dying, but King Thor and his granddaughters restored life on Midgard and repopulated the Earth with humans.

The universe was still contracting in on itself though, so Thor sent Mjolnir to search for answers. The hammer came upon Wolverine, now possessed by the Phoenix Force.

Old Man Phoenix was furious that Thor restarted life on Earth instead of letting it die like it was supposed to. He knew there was someone out there much worse than him.

Doctor Doom returns to Earth. He’s taken offense to Thor creating a new Garden of Eden over what used to be Latveria. Using the combined might of the Sorcerer Supreme, the Spirit of Vengeance, the Iron Fist, the Starbrand, and own power Doom sets about razing the Earth.

Thor convinces Old Man Phoenix to return to Earth and help defend it from Doom, but they find that they can’t stop him even together. That’s when Logan decides to let himself die and so that the Phoenix can possess Mjolnir. When Thor lifts the hammer, he becomes the mighty thunderbird, King Phoenix, god of fire.

Thor attacks Doom again and drives him into the heart of the Earth, where King Phoenix and Doom battle for 99 years before Thor emerges victorious and then dies.

The Phoenix Force apparently passes on to one of the young human girls on Earth. She sees that Doom wasn’t even the biggest threat facing Earth.

While Thor, Logan, and Doom were fighting, a little worm had burrowed into the mind of Ego the Living Planet, who had been covered in god-killing weapon All-Black the Necrosword. The worm drove Ego insane until he allowed himself to die.

That’s when the worm revealed itself to be Loki. Now wielding All-Black, he becomes Loki the Necrogod, Loki the All-Butcher, Lokie the End.

What do you think Loki’s new power? Let us know what you think in the comments.
